I had been struggling with using Claude Code on a legacy Shift JIS code base, and I came up with this MCP server which gives Claude Code tools to work with Shift JIS (CP932). I hope if anyone else is struggling with this they find this and it helps them out. github.com/MichaelCharl...

I’m convinced this is how every engineer stumbles into a DevOps role

Classic. 🙃

If you hate seeing anything at all on your #Mac desktop, the following command will hide all desktop items: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false && killall Finder && say icons hidden And back again: defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true && killall Finder

This changes everything.

💻 Remember, if you're on a Mac, you can clean up your desktop by having screenshots sent to another folder: defaults write com.apple.screencapture location whatever-the-pwd-of-folder-is (then do killall SystemUIServer)

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back. So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!) More on their architecture: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

I just realized @robbowen.digital made the SynthWave ‘84 theme. It’s great! Thanks for making my VSCode experience more pleasant

a PSA since a lot of folks have been surprised to learn this: terminal programs often support the mouse! Try: - opening `htop` and clicking a column header to sort - opening `nano` (or vim, or micro) and clicking and dragging to select text - using the scroll wheel in `mc` it often Just Works

The Bluesky firehose visualized in the style of a Windows XP screensaver… I want this as an actual screensaver.

So are we all just maintaining accounts on BlueSky, Threads, and Mastodon? Or does it feel like BlueSky is winning out?

Neat! I could update my Blue Sky handle so it’s the same as my domain! That was super simple.
