We're very excited to announce that Apollo Automation have joined the Works With Home Assistant - the first ESPHome-based devices to receive this certification! πŸŽ‰ Check out how Apollo got started building devices with ESPHome and which ones have been certified on our blog πŸ‘‡πŸΌ #SmartHome #DIY #IoT

I didn't know about Home Assistant project until I listened to this podcast. I quite liked the idea of running the open-source home automation system on a 4GB Raspberry Pi. BTW, would be nice if @syntax.fm website has a link to Bluesky.

Happy Birthday, FrΓ©dΓ©ric Chopin

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

The American Mathematical Society has also started a page to coordinate support for professional mathematics, so far focusing on executive orders impacting the National Science Foundation: www.ams.org/government/g...

I posted about this cool page some time ago, and now the author @samwho.dev of the page appeared in one of my favourite podcasts as a guest @fafo.fm. Dots are unexpectedly connected in such a nice way! Enjoyed the interview a lot.

If Bluesky does go public, it's most likely the end of the current beautiful Bluesky and it'll become one of those horrible social media companies.

Apple withdraws end-to-end encryption in the UK, just as we had feared 😒 www.theguardian.com/technology/2... There's a petition but I doubt it will make any difference you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ke...

No starch press is one of my favourite publishers on tech books. Great contents with high-quality edit. I always buy digital version, which comes in 3 formats (PDF, epub, and mobi) for one book price. Highly recommended :)

A very interesting interview with Jaz, one of the Bluesky team members. So much good stuff!

Sunday afternoon at my favourite place, Stir. Nice staff, great food.

I want to start a solo software business in a year or two. I want to start solo, stay solo, keep it sustainable, and keep control of the business.

Woot!

I thought this was a kind of Tamagocci. Looks quite neat!

Great to see that MIDI 2 is coming.

A very inspiring talk about the (past, today, and) future of microprocessors. 6502, ARM1, and Intel Pentium processors. Things were way simpler and cooler. Those were the days.

Are there any recommended books about basso continuo? I used to play the harpsichord as a complete mature 30 years ago. I am hoping to refresh my memory about that special chord notation, but I don't know where to start.

A book of nice little music pieces by J. S. Bach, Ph. E. Bach, et. al. The cover says Anna Magdalena Bach 1725. I bought this probably about 30 years ago in Japan. Published by Zen-on ε…¨ιŸ³, originally by BΓ€renreiter in 1959. After 300 years, the music pieces still shine β™«

Programmers! If you want to hear me get way into the weeds of how ATProto works, this is the podcast for you!

Sounds too intriguing πŸ‘€

Cool! @joyofcode.bsky.social has just joined BSky! If you’re into #Svelte and want to improve your feed then check out this starter pack πŸ”₯ go.bsky.app/QEhPG3P

How to build a distroless docker image out of your Go code. πŸ‘€ Lots of things in this workflow were simply unthinkable or even non-existent 30 years ago. Debian started in 1993. Maybe fakeroot already existed in 1995? Amazing progress the computer technology has made!

Please send your book proposals to [email protected]. We review them weekly. Some key topics of interest: Go, Rust, coffee table books like Engineering in Plain Sight, Open Circuits, Game Console. Books for nerds, geeks, hackers. Cyber, cyber, cyber, etc.

Tiny little letters in a screenshot image can be hard (or even impossible) to read. An alt tag is not a primary solution to this problem either. Accessibility is not about disability. It is about how you make yourself accessible for people. Think when you post a screenshot with many letters in it.

This podcast was released 5 months ago, but I just listened. Wow, so many insights and inspirations! TinyBase - The reactive data store for local-first apps by James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social

Bluesky lets us hide a reply in our post's thread. Nice.

The sun was still low in the morning, creating a nice shadow art. I guess this was designed.

I wish people would post more links to interesting things I feel like Twitter and LinkedIn and Instagram and TikTok have pushed a lot of people out of the habit of doing that, by penalizing shared links in the various "algorithms" Bluesky doesn't have that misfeature, thankfully!

Good one!

Some Internet domains cost less than 10 US dollars per year (not per month). You can pay once to keep it for 10 years at less than $100. Using a custom domain for your handle at Bluesky is as cheap as that.

I bought flight tickets to Japan. That's for November next year which is still far away, but the tickets were about 20% cheaper than this year's ones which I purchased in May.

Exciting news! We've just dropped our RC0 for 1.23.0 πŸŽ‰ Tons of new features, bugfixes, and more. My favourites are: the revamped repo detail page, automatic license detection, and sync-fork button to easily sync your fork with the upstream repo blog.gitea.com/release-of-1...

Astro 5.1 is now in session Introducing Astro.session, an experimental utility to share data between requests. This is for you PHP lovers. See what else we launched πŸ‘‡ astro.build/blog/astro-5...

Moving my email registrations from Gmail to Tuta and Proton over the past few weeks and I'm quite happy. Tuta lets you use as many custom email addresses with your own domains. Proton lets you use as many alias addresses to hide your proton address. Both work pretty well.

In this week's #TipsTuesday, learn how to manage the indent at the start of your music in #Dorico. Often, the first system of individual part layouts will be indented. If you have added more instruments to your layout, you may wish to remove this indent. #Steinberg #musicnotation

Follow here. Unfollow there.

Just tuned in and heard @pfrazee.com mention that now when you change your <handle>.bsky.social to a custom domain handle it will reserve your old .bsky.social handle for you! This is one of those features that slipped through the cracks for way too long. Glad the team finally got to it! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

A collection of great books at a substantially discounted price!

Positive electrode can be either anode or cathode. Same applies to negative electrode. The choice of words matters, but often the level of attention varies among people. Some care, some don't. The importance of basic electrochemistry terminology in the era of interdisciplinary battery research

This video reveals how decaf coffee is made. I wondered but never knew about it. The video answers in detail. This is actually one of the series where a few different ways are explained in separate videos. I grind and drink decaf coffee every morning. Now I think I can enjoy it better.
