When you schedule messages on Slack, do you mention it was scheduled? 🤔 I usually don't, but I often wonder if I should. Just in case something changes between the time I wrote the message and the time it gets received. Is there any "scheduled message etiquette" I should know about?

Why is it that banks have such bad security practices when compared to pretty much anything else? One I came across: - User IDs are sequential - Passwords are 7 characters (only numbers) - 2FA only with SMS - Login asks for only 3 digits of your 7 number code 🤯

Random app idea I had yesterday: A dating/meeting app where you find people you are interested in based on each others code. It would connect to your Github and pull random pieces of code to show other people (nothing else about you). If you both like each other's code you could connect 🫶

This morning I finally took the time to clean out my phone's USB-C port. Now the cable actually goes in all the way and doesn't fall out all the time! So satisfying 😌

TIL: Minifying the output HTML of a Svelte build is a bad idea 🤔 I noticed HEAD elements were getting duplicated and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out Svelte actually uses comments in the markup to handle updates without duplication! So I broke it by removing them 😅 github.com/sveltejs/sve...

Duplicate `head` elements occur when html comments are stripped · Issue #8112 · sveltejs/svelte

Describe the bug The solution to the duplicate content svelte:head element bug (and also this one) requires HTML comments to be present in order to function correctly. Many minification tools strip...

Yesterday I published a complete rewrite of my website! 🙌 It's now completely written in Svelte hctr.dev/post/rewriti...

I'm rebuilding my website (again) and I'm almost at a point where I'm happy with the new design. But then I go back to the live version and I think "hmm, this looks better than I remembered. Is the new version actually better? Or just different?" 🙃

Yesterday I finally upgraded my laptop from Linux Mint 21.3 to 22.1! My favourite "feature" so far is that the fans no longer spin up as soon as I plug in the power 🤯

Came back to an old project I worked on a few years ago. Just wanted to make a few tweaks, nothing major. Now I'm trying really hard to resist the urge to rewrite it all 🙃

Spent an hour banging my head against Nginx to get a reverse proxy working. Turns out the only problem was the port being closed on the firewall 🙃

You can now click on stars to open the corresponding post! ⭐ On desktop you need to be *very* fast though! nightsky.hctr.dev

My next challenge is to allow clicking on a star to open the post it relates to. I know that is something people have been asking about! Just haven't quite figured out a good way to do it yet.

This is very cool! Yet another visualisation of all the activity happening on Bluesky 💙

I built a silly usage of the Bluesky Firehose just to get my feet wet and see what was possible. It's kinda fun to just watch. www.emojirain.lol

I added a little feature on nightsky.hctr.dev 👀 You can add a bsky handle to the URL to highlight new posts from that user! Just add "?u=<handle>" to the end of the URL. For example: nightsky.hctr.dev?u=hctr.dev These stars will have a different colour and won't disappear until you refresh ⭐

The response to this has been staggering. I expected that maybe a couple of people would think it was neat. I never thought thousands of people would try it! 💙 For those who may be curious, the source code is now available here: gitlab.com/hctrdev/bsky...

I made a thing! I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃 Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

I didn’t like the vibe of the last one with the black background. I’ve been toying with the Bluesky api again. I’m addicted. Here’s my most used emojis ever for all time. Generate #emojibubble here: skythings.lukeacl.com/emojis/. Warning if you yap a lot it’ll be slow to generate.

OK, this went a bit viral 😅 I never thought so many people would enjoy this! It's been so lovely reading everyone's comments this morning. Thank you 💙

Just be you. Be your authentic self. Joke, talk about stuff that fascinates you, the things you love, that you hope for & your passions. Connect with ppl honestly. Be brave enough to be authentic and open to others doing the same.

Hi! I'm Hector 👋 Time for a quick #introduction I think: - Software developer (10+ years) - Backend & a little frontend - Go - Kotlin - Svelte 🧡 - Exploring gamedev with Godot 🕹️ - Hosting my own stuff for fun 🏡 - Hiking, nature & traveling - Learning digital art - Plant-based 🌱 #promosky

Bluesky by the Numbers today: 1.3M people Posted 6.5M posts 2.3M people Liked 37.5M posts 2.9M people Followed 41.5M people (!!!!!) Over 1,000,000 people joined the network!!!!!! We broke all-time traffic records by over 30% today across the board. Follows are up 20x from 2 weeks ago! Holy Moly

I'm a bit new to this frontend development business, and I am genuinely enjoying it, but does it always turn into a kind of art project? 🤔 In terms of UI I'm usually only worried about what to write in log messages.

The screenshot is from my self-hosted Grafana instance, which is pulling system metrics from my laptop using Prometheus. All over my @tailscale.com network. I think it's clever. Useless 99% of the time, but who cares? Graphs are cool 😎

I think my laptop is looking for a new battery 🙃

okay well we're gonna add over 1 million users in a single 24 hour period today, so please bear with us.

Are you new to generative art or have ever been interesting in trying it? I wrote something for you. www.wking.dev/guides/the-g...

I love a good unit test. ❤️

Love this! So easy to start playing around with the protocol. Now, what to build? 🤔

Can’t say how approachable these packages make developing bots, labelers and jetstream consumption If you want to tinker with atproto def start with the jetstream package

Also - and I cannot emphasise this enough - twitter actively suppresses links. This is terrible for journalism - of any ideological stripe. Bluesky doesn't so it's a far better platform for writers.

Whether X is diverse doesn't really matter (the user base may even still skew to the liberal-left) - it's fundamentally to do with the fact it is no longer a level playing field for content and engagement.
