Playing around more with Opus 4.5 & asked it to create me a TUI for Cloudflare R2. Less than an hour later I now have a SFE for it.

The @typescriptlang.org compiler API is an insanely powerful tool that few know exists or use. Likely because there is little to no documentation for it.

But once you learn the basics it's actually amazing!

I knew buying a Mac Mini to be part of my homelab would be "interesting", but I never expected to have to be doing multiple system restarts until my reverse proxy container magically detects the local DNS record for my NAS.

There's only one thing worse than DNS, and that's DNS on macOS.

Damn, seems one of the hard drives I bought is already starting to fail. Time to see how easy the RMA process is.

I love having to take time out of my day to write emails to my MP to educate them on why age-gating or child-proofing the entire internet is a bad idea.

Okay Google, how do I invest in VPN stocks?

Ah okay, there we go. Now everything under the sun requires ID.

Now, how long do we give it before there's a data breach?

Wait, so to view β€œmature content” on Reddit in the UK I now need to give them a government ID or selfie proving I’m 18.

But to view porn you can just click a β€œYeah sure I’m totally 18” button??

Waiting for the day people in the UK can sideload apps on iOS so I can finally sideload Apollo with my own API key.

I miss that app 🫑

Hey, so sorry about that. I accidentally published a new version without the setup guide. I will publish an updated download shortly that will re-add this.

I also took a moment to try out DurableObjects & I like the premise of them.

But I seriously feel like I am communicating with the ether. I have no way to view or control state stored. Metrics to track usage ofc but apart from that you would need to build your own tools to manage state / storage?

Honestly, I feel you!
The underlying product has SOOOOO much potential, but there feels like so many caveats, shoehorns & workarounds to the DX that half the time I find myself praising & the other half dreading using the platform

Known issues Here are some known bugs and issues with Cloudflare Pages:

- If your CF Pages project has more than 100 deployments you need to delete all the deployments manually first before you can delete the project

Though as usual I find some pain points in this process:

- You cannot migrate an existing CF Pages project to CF Workers. Though I guess behind the scenes they're not easily interoperable?

Spent some time today moving nuro.dev from
@cloudflare-dev.bsky.social
Pages to Workers + Assets and wow the observability is way more extensive! Super nice upgrade!

See I did want to try this but it seems Bun's `$` shell system doesn't work with REPL.

🀏 THIS close to greatness

TIL about OTP time synchronisation / drift.

Why did I learn about this? Windows. Windows date & time. Fucking Windows.

On a side note though, shout out to: time.is

The fact cookie banners have now creeped their way into native apps, like Spotify, is hilarious and depressing

Learning the hard way how bad macOS is for a homelab server.

Namely I forgot that any container system runs inside a VM so lots of key hardware components are missing (iGPU, thermal probes, etc)
