Clearly, I love Nix.

I use nix to manage packages on macOS and on Linux (nixOS).

The MacBook Neo feels like the 11" Air.

Nix and NixOS continue to be the best way to manage and build software that I've found.

I wrote over on the Grafana blog about a few lessons or observations we learned while integrating OpenAI into the ADX data source.

I've become a big fan of the gh CLI tool from Github.

Today I removed two of my most-used apps on my phone, Apollo and Tweetbot.

I finally got around to pushing the code (repo) I outline here to a S3 bucket as a demo: http://wasm-hack-week-2022.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com Grafana had a hack week this past week and I opted to work on WebAssembly(WASM)-related things.

New job means time for a new workstation.

I can’t believe I’m writing this but after 9 and a half years today is my last day at Sparkbox.

Well crap.

Windows 11 famously has new, stricter requirements for installation; a TPM device and Secure Boot.

I was recently working on the release build script for sb and decided I should document a few things I find myself looking up just about every time.

I'm stealing the title format of this post from Tom MacWright's Recently posts.

Since 2017 my home router has been a plain x86 box running Alpine Linux.

Nice guide on Reddit about how to use the Siji font with polybar. [..] install the siji font, and then run "view.sh" in the terminal.

I use polybar as my status bar in i3 and it's been going great for months now.

I've published a few new projects in the last couple of months and I'm behind on announcing them, so I bundled them up together into this post.

Hacktoberfest 2020 is here!

Jamie Brandon has a nice post about "small tech": tech that isn't backed by a big corporation like Microsoft or Apple but still has an out-sized impact.
