Due to demand, Dashbit is increasing its consulting team for the first time! If you use Elixir, you have a team of 3+ engineers, and you want a direct line to me, Wojtek Mach (Req/Ecto), Jonatan Kłosko (Livebook/Nx) and Steffen Deusch (Phoenix/LiveView), please reach out! dashbit.co

Great now I don’t have an excuse for how trash feel.

Woo hoo! 2 weeks, with 2 cloud outages! Love a good incident upstream that causes incidents at work too /s

LIFE FORCE KONAMI 1987 NES

Aw no, I drove 8 hours on Friday to Taranaki, then 5 on the way back on Monday, and I think I have picked up some bug while I was down there. Both me and my wife are exhausted, and achy :(

Aw no. Why did I find a new addiction: towers.doteye.online

I really want to write a post on PEP 584 - adding the union operator to dicts in Python, but I am not too sure what to say about it yet. I need to use it a bit more I think.

Brb replacing all my HTTP error codes with these http.cat

Now with Bluesky accounts for @usidore.bsky.social & @chuntttttt.bsky.social

💙📚 Super happy with my new books from Gollancz emporium! “Necronomicon” and “Eldritch Tales” by H.P. Lovecraft and the 40th anniversary edition of “Neuromancer” by William Gibson #booksky

Spent the last few months getting more and more evolved in the fedora maintainers ecosystem only to have work say we are moving off fedora.

Having little things like the “I don’t want to hear about” section of The Folio Society newsletter preferences is just a great UX improvement.

Why the hell doni go to the gym? I pay money every month to be sore and not fit my clothes.

“Qualm” is a ridiculous spelling of the work. I vote we should all start spelling it “quarm”

Damn it I’ve been eyeing up a ps5 and an oled monitor. Only thing holding me back is that I already have no time to play games and do all the other things I want to do.

Love a good cloud provider outage incident on a Monday afternoon

My cat got into a massive fight the other day, and has wounds all over his head and ears. We have decided that he will be an inside cat for the weekend. He on the other hand thinks this is the biggest injustice ever. Wish me luck for the next 48 hours of howling at the door.

That 3rd coffee before 10am was a bad idea.

If a troll is under the bridge, what are they even gonna do? I bet I could run over a bridge before a troll could figure out how to get ontop of it from underneath.

Super happy to finally get my first #fedora package build and uploaded ! src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-...

Why do console companies insist on announcing things via video ?! I want to read about the #nintendoSwitch2 not watch some bloody video.

TIL there are modern well maintained #BBS server software out there! github.com/NuSkooler/en...

I love Jeff and I want to give him a home

My new attempt at stopping my doom scrolling on Instagram reels? Only scroll until there is an ad or sponsored reel.

I couldn't find any good games for my password manager. So I made one. 1Crossword connects to your 1Password vault and generates a crossword entirely out of your passwords! The crosswords are fun, simple, and great for sharing on social media when you finish. Enjoy!

Just watched Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, what a fun movie, made even better with the comedy English dub - I didn’t watch all of the English comedy dub but saw snippets. Might watch it in full one day.

If you are at ShmooCon, come to my talk at 3. I'll be talking about these issues, so you can be smarter than Zuck.

Woo updated the ReadWise api layer for my website project. It’s really just an exercise in learning #phoenixFramework and #Elixir github.com/NeuroWinter/...

TIL the lake park near me has a “fun run” every Saturday meaning my nice peaceful walking getting my blues and greens is significantly less relaxing

It's 2025 and everything sucks and everyone is job hunting, please enjoy this slowly unfolding thread of tech jobs at places that aren't making the world worse. If you're hiring at not-evil (or even minimally evil) orgs, please reply w your tech jobs too?

Oh no ! ShipIt is ending ! Looking forward to seeing what @justingarrison.com and @withenoughcoffee.com end up doing next!

I used to watch Hot Ones religiously, Sean is an absolutely amazing interviewer, I feel like he’s the nardwuar of general pop culture!
