Beto Dealmeida has been working on a thing called human.json, which lets website authors declare that their site and content are human-made, without “AI”. human.json also sets up a sort of a trust mechanism, where authors can vouch for other websites to a…

Refactoring a codebase should be a continuous activity, even outside “regular feature development”.

Does your organization prefer or maybe even force pull requests for reviewing and validating changes before integrating to a mainline?

Codeberg user brib has started a slopfree software index, listing projects that have been somewhat confirmed to be free of big tech powered slop.

You sure are confident when saying that in order to reach business goals, your team needs to work on a dozen things at the same time.

Bandcamp has been fine and dandy so far, but the acquisition shenanigans and the seemingly stalled development of the service in the past years has had me looking for alternatives.

Last week the Stop Killing Games initiative reached a milestone of one million supporting signatures in EU.

Creative Commons recently introduced CC Signals.

I’ve been forced to use a Windows 11 machine at my new job.

Implemented a simple setup for viewing drafts live using tokens, allowing me to preview things without hitting publish.

Okay now I’ve implemented an endpoint for all you folks to send webmentions to.

Been working on the initial Webmentions implementation of my website for the past week or so.

Ages ago we found out about banner blindness.

After a botched auto-update I had some mangled DLLs in my Windows installation.

The official Redis documentation and RediSearch repo contains shaky documentation on how to build and install the RediSearch module, unless you’re on the Docker bandwagon.

I added initial support for “lightweight” posts for my site.

I’ve tried to keep myself thinking about how I want to write and create things on this website and elsewhere in the future, and how it would/should/could affect the way I design the building and reading experience here on the site.

Last week I posted that I had hopped back onto PHP, and a custom built CMS base to be more precise.

This is part 2 in our PHP FFI + Rust blog series.

Protecting websites with stuff like Fail2Ban is a task I occasionally get to do.

Some of you may remember how a few years back I ditched a CMS and embraced a static site generation approach for this website.

ChatGPT is all the rage right now.

In this series of posts, we will be getting acquainted with a new PHP feature: FFI!

This post will walk you through a very basic setup of setting up automated infrastructure and server provisioning on DigitalOcean using Hashicorp Terraform and RedHat Ansible.

ErgoDox is a mechanical split keyboard built with ergonomics in mind.

The Windows command-line interface is quite a bummer when compared to the terminals on Linux and Mac.

Forget Windows Remote Desktop (or whatever it was) and TeamViewer.

Previously I wrote about too long paths regarding Compass and Sass when using .sass-cache.

Recently I ran into a problem with a Compass project: I couldn’t compile any SCSS assets into CSS assets and Ruby threw a file not found error.

Wouldn’t it be useful if you could define breakpoints in one place and your whole frontend code would update accordingly?

Generally all web development should take place on a local development environment.

I ran into a small issue earlier today while developing a client website.

Many of you most probably are familiar with PHP’s built-in array sorting functions, such as sort, ksort and similar.

The new CSS3 gradients are quite powerful and simple when in need of simple repeating background patterns.

We are learning some basic PHP programming at school this semester.

As some of you might have noticed, Age of Empires 2 (and its The Conquerors expansion) has a color bug on Windows 7 (and most probably on Vista too).

I was playing around with a WordPress theme and I wanted to display a simple number indicating the amount of pages a certain paginated part of the site had (front page’s recent entries in this case).

I’m pleased to write that my award winning Capture The Flag level for Unreal Tournament 3 has been finalized and released.

Today I was in trouble.
