jj bookmark advance is a relatively new feature1 of Jujutsu that replaced the nearly ubiquitous jj tug alias that moved bookmarks to the "tip" of their respective commit DAGs.

I have developed a patten for local web development that I really like that gives me a few features that you can probably get with some full stack toolchain, but I’ve cobbled together out of a collection of open source components instead.

I had formed a loose memory at work of having had to install some kind of special software so that all of the .localhost hostnames would resolve for development, but it turns out that they are actually a special use domain name, per RFC 6761.

A post I saw today about "using fortune to remind me of the shell tools I have installed, instead of the old ones I use by reflex" got me really excited by the idea of the reminders.

This is, as glyph pointed out a while back , an “extremely specific complaint”, but here’s the short version: If you use nix and direnv, it is natural to have a .envrc that contains use flake ; it sets up your local development environment in a friendly w…

I was inspired to try Jujutsu when I saw a link to Steve Klabnik's Jujutsu tutorial; I'd heard about the tool a few times, but hadn't made the jump.

I find GitHub Codespaces a true mixed blessing.

This'll be short, but sweet1: I often check out open source projects with the intent to read their code or sometimes contribute small changes.

Tailscale is an encrypted overlay network that "just works", so well that I have adopted it both for my homelab and for the infrastructure of wandering.shop.

A lot of recent digital ink has been spilled about the implications of Mark Zuckerberg's recent changes to Meta's corporate culture, to reflect a more "Masculine Energy" that he believes is necessary to succeed1.

Dad as I most clearly remember him These are facts.

I have adopted uv for a lot of Python development.

I found myself wanting to host a private website that I could reliably update, but only serve it to users on my tailnet.

I struggled with whether this was worth writing up, I upgraded my NAS to DSM7 about 3 months ago, which was a whole thing on its own, but one side effect of that was that it turns out it killed the letsencrypt updater I’d used. 90 days later, I got a cert…

I got an itch to stop having my homelab services running at https://some-tailscale.my-tailnet/service, and instead be able to reasonably cheaply have https://service.my-tailnet/ be the order of the day.
