here I am tangenting into wtf tangled.sh is, maybe that's the entire point of this submission.

I've seen it quite a bit on BlueSky with some devs I follow. It's a social git host built on-top of ATProto (The underlying tech of BlueSky): https://blog.tangled.sh/intro

Here in London, stolen Lime e-bikes sure seem popular with teenagers. That beep beep beep and click click click sound everywhere I go.

pfych · 20 days ago

Whenever I go for a run in the afternoon there's always a big group of teens down fishing at the river with a bunch of lime bikes next too them. Glad it's made it easier for them to all meet up and hang out outdoors.

It's funny when they wrap up though and you watch all of them kickstart the bikes. Riding off down the trail as they beep and click. Haha.

This law was popular with the Liberal & Greens parties sadly - was likely regardless of who won the election.

Couldn't you just set a timer for 45 minutes, or whatever? Is there that much variance in load times?

pfych · a month ago

Some washing machines (mine at least) have some "smart" features that adjust the wash time depending on some factors. Nothing more annoying than coming to the laundry after my phone alarm goes off, and seeing the timer on my washing machine go UP(!!!) from 0:01 to 0:02 ...

I had a frequent 1:30-hour train commute every couple of days to my previous role, and during that time, I learned how horrific our product was to use on a spotty connection.

Made me think more about poor & unstable connections when building out new features or updating existing things in the product. Easily parsable loading states, better user-facing alerts about requests timing out, moving calculations/compute client-side where it made sense, etc.

Why are dummy plugs a thing? What can you do with them that you cannot do in software? (asking as a person who had no issues with having 18 virtual displays and no dummies).

pfych · 2 months ago

Dummy plugs are a lot easier for most people. I added a fake 4K monitor to my desktop via software for remote game streaming, and it was a lot more complicated than I expected[^1].

NOAA might not be around much longer! ... which is grim.

Do tell!

I set up Authentik[^1] on my NAS in a docker container and went from there! Just had to add a .well-known webfinger file to my domain that pointed to the Authentik instance and it "just worked" with Tailscale.

If you don't need server rendering, I'd just recommend React without framework, and Vite [1] to run the app in dev and build the app in prod, then host the build (basically a HTML page with a JS file) on AWS S3 or similar static hosting platforms. That's the solution I've been using for 10+ years without any problem.

For the backend you can use whatever you are comfortable with. I mostly use PostgREST [2] nowadays. I recommend to use react-query [3] to call your APIs on the client side.

This is the way to go for 99.9% of React apps, I've been using a similar setup for almost 7 years now.

Plain React, Vite, React-Router, & SWR. Is simple & works great for almost every use case.
