The last year I have been experimenting a lot with my computer setup.

I wonder if the price hikes across the board on tech (memory, storage etc.) result in an increased focus on longevity and using devices for longer.

Note to self.

Bastian Allgeier talked about "brain lock-in" on his podcast interview with Working Draft and it stuck a bit with me.

Rafael Nadal at his best was incredible.

Payment terminals, ATMs, Amazon, international transfers, currency exchange apps.

For a really long time I was using the same setup for development.

One of the main issues I've had so far, is that I sometimes want to add a file from my mac to the remarkable, and still be able to interact with the graphical elements of it on the reMarkable.

It took me a long time to make the jump, but I finally did, and my god is the reMarkable tablet a joyful product.

"In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi centers on the acceptance of transience and imperfection." – Wikipedia It feels especially relevant now in AI-slop days, but I guess that knife could cut both ways.

Openclaw is still dominating the tech-news, and the recent acquisition from OpenAI raises a lot of opinions and reactions.

Lately I've been getting into generative coding.

I built a simple color palette tool inspired by Flexoki by Steph Ango It's available at coloki.vasser.no I kept reaching for the Flexoki playground but wanted something simpler.

This web site is now available as a Kirby template / starter kit.

Now that AI is getting so good, why are you even trying to do the work yourself?

This article is not about Fizzy as a product, but rather about the decisions 37Signals make regarding how to launch their product.

I've been treading water the last months, spending too much time on Linux computer setups and other things that clearly does not speak to my core wishes of simplicity.

I continue to use both Omarchy and MacOS as my daily computers.

Decisions decisions..

I'm about a week into using Omarchy (on a 2017 Macbook), and I've been thinking a lot about how much customization or not I want to be doing on it, seeing that it's more of an exploration than a long-term plan to use this almost decade-old machine.

I finally managed to get my 2017 Macbook up and running on Omarchy.

Things I really like about Omarchy The tiling via Hyprland (at least in theory) Keyboard driven usage of the Operating System Straight sharp corners/edges No animation, or adjustable animation between workspaces Frameless web apps Snappiness My current mac

I’m fascinated by photographers using film cameras, guitarists on plain old tube amps, authors writing books with pencil on paper, and the list goes on.

Over the last days I have found it interesting to follow the thread on Reddit regarding the direction Laravel is heading.

I'm more than ever doubting this public blogging thing.

Remember that you can hold multiple, even conflicting opinions about the same person.

I just can't seem to find the right method.

Sometimes I want to display all sub-pages of a certain page together with the parent page in the panel.

Following up on my post from last week, I decided to install Linux on an old 2016 MacBook that was just gathering dust.

I've been diving into Vim lately.

In todays note to self, its just a basic reminder of how to check if a user is logged in or not.

There's a term in running called a "kick", which refers to the ability to sprint at the end of an endurance-oriented race.

I have an issue with the Sanity Content Lake.

Sometimes the database keeps growing and you want to figure out which table(s) are causing the issue.

Good question.

My previous post is really not that old.

I have many a time added node_modules and the likes to my git repositories.

I've long been fascinated by the notecard systems of people like Ryan Holiday and Billy Oppenheimer, and no less fascinated by the quality of content they consistently share.

“Victory belongs to the most Tenacious” — a phrase that echoes across the clay courts of Paris each spring.

Most years since my late teenage years I had the same simple new year’s resolution: Care less what others think of me.

What I really like about having a personal web page, is that it can be ground zero for testing out ideas.

The last month I've been diving into sustainable web design, and although I keep links in apple notes, bookmarks etc.

Some people in the Statamic community have commented that my previous tests were unfair (or rather; dumb and crap).

I'm a big fan of Laravel Forge for provisioning servers.

After my post regarding the size of the codebase of multiple CMS’s, I’ve gotten some comments about the flaws of this approach.

Wow, I really didn't expect to have any readers at this point, but after my CMS filesize comparison post I've had a few people asking me for my RSS feed, which is really cool!

I mainly work with Craft CMS sites currently, and I made the switch from Laravel Valet to DDEV as per their suggestions last year.

"The average size of our sites doubled in the last 10 years.
