Bluesky is more like Twitter than X is joelhooks.com [1] Bluesky is almost excatly like twitter was when I joined years ago. It’s gone crazy lately bogged deep in politics, bots, and ads. I’ve seen like two scroll pages of ads in a row, its nuts. What I did not know before Joel pointed out here is that the feed I am looking at is my following feed, its only feed of people I follow in descending order. On bluesky you get to pick your feed!!! This feels like tweetdeck did back when we were able to run that. You could tune in search terms and save them it was glorious. Bluesky has some really interesting ones that you can use like popular with friends, only posts, my bangers, that have a pre defined algorithms. Note This post is a thought [2].

- This man is responsible for making gaming on linux what it is today. Such a heartfelt story to hear that reviving his dad’s machine was at the core of what drove him to do what he has done for the wider gaming on linux community. Update on your schedule, remove all the tracking and bloatware, this is what drove him to start using linux before making it accessible for his Dad. But really do update, this is not your 2002 PHP box, things need updated and regular updates help the process. Note This post is a thought [1].

Today I learned that the docs in postiz are a bit behind, (fantastic docs btw, they are to the point, and cover almost all of what you need). The docs state that you need to include an R2 bucket to handle uploads. This issue [1] shows that more work has been done, one of which is local storage. The compose file [2] they use in the quick start has the required env variables to set this up. STORAGE_PROVIDER: "local" UPLOAD_DIRECTORY: "/uploads" NEXT_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY: "/uploads" looking into my running instance I can see my images there. ⬢ [devtainer] ❯ podman exec postiz ls /uploads/2025/01/09 811747b3f703f5d9a7f10aff5103412ff0.jpeg a221db10a76f0c414171ab417379b09ec.jpeg References: [1]: https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/issues/322 [2]: https://docs.postiz.com/installation/docker-compose

External Link devcommunity.x.com [1] Just tried using my twitter api key for the first time in quite awhile. Apps now need to be tied to projects in order to work. It looks like projects are where pricing comes into play. Thankfully they still give a free tier for doing small time things for myself. You can really see the effect that llms have on these things though as it is 5x more expensive to read posts than to make posts currently. Data is the new gold for these kind of companies.

[1] Looks like a great start to a rules file for fastapi [2]. - Place the happy path last in the function for improved readability. I have never heard anyone say this. It feels weird to me.

Generate Custom .cursorrules for Your Project Based on Community Examples expert led courses for front-end web developers and teams that want to level up through straightforward and concise lessons on the most useful tools available. egghead · egghead.io [1] Really interesting way to generate a rules file for agentic workflows based on your current repo. John uses gitingest here, looks like a fantastic tool, but probably not useful for most private repos. I’m sure you can replicate the same thing in a private repo wtih a small amount of effort the few times you need to do it. gitingest looks like a great way to pull in some extra context for some open source dependencies that you have though.

Releases · WaylonWalker/nvim-manager manage dotfiles with nvim_appname. Contribute to WaylonWalker/nvim-manager development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] First release of nvim-manager is out. Your dotfiles change a lot, sometimes it’s hard to manage all of the places you have installed them and potentially made hand edits to. nvim-manager allows you to easily make static releases of your dotfiles, and keep your nvim install from breaking by leveraging NVIM_APPNAME and pinned releases of your dotfiles stored in ~/.config. In this directory you might have many nvim configurations installed, nvim-manager automates the process of installing and updating from your dotfiles, while keeping previous pinned versions untouched.
