Thank you to @microsoftmvp.bsky.social for 2026-2027, can't believe it's been 14 consecutive years! Also, thank you to everyone who supports my community work... it's really a team effort from every side that makes it possible. I'm looking forward to the next year of #WinUI and #dotnet
It was worth the wait... the #SmithBlade from @smithhack.bsky.social Everything is meticulously crafted and feels amazing. P.S. I can't wait to go tour HERC, just waiting until they're not still overwhelmed

I replaced NPM with Pangolin, its amazing (and uses Traefik behind the scenes)
selfhosting.sh@selfhostingsh.bsky.social · 5mo agoUnpopular take: Traefik is better than Nginx Proxy Manager for production. NPM has a nicer UI, sure.

Do you use Hugo or similar static site generator? I just figured out how to replace the twitter-shortcode with a custom bluesky-shortcode template. This was perfect for my blog posts because I needed to update all Twitter embeds to Bluesky embeds. Enjoy! github.com/LanceMcCarth...
Really Samsung? Why no $1000 trade in for my current Fold 7? Nope, I'll wait until the #trifold is out of early access, so I don't create more-waste.
I'm loving #HomeAssistant new energy tracking features. My place in Costa Rica is killing it with "100% Self-sufficiency" and "100% Self-consumed solar energy".
Im an independent judge at #MIT #realityhack 2016 hackathon today. Bonus, I bumped into @jbmcculloch.bsky.social here.
I discovered Pangolin this week and it is a godsend. I bought a supporter key within an hour of implementing it. It instantly replaced my nginxproxymanager and site-to-site ipsec (and 3 other things). My homelab life significantly easier :) If you selfhost, check it out github.com/fosrl/pangolin
