Advent of Code has finally started! Go solve today's puzzle now!

aaaand Claude Opus 4.5 is the new best model. Holy hell, and it's not just the best at coding. It's crushing agents, reasoning, and everything else. Anthropic's redefining AI frontiers. 🤯

Affinity's native Linux support might be the final nail in Adobe's coffin... With DaVinci Resolve, Blender, Darktable, and more, it's time to switch to Linux if you haven't already!

Ever build a quick software tool to speed up part of your main project, but then end up wanting to turn it into the full side project? Happening to me right now 😅 What should I do? 😭😭

France is threatening GrapheneOS with arrests and server seizures for refusing backdoors. Privacy is essential, and this is ridiculous. Open-source projects shouldn't fear state intimidation. Stand with privacy-focused tech.

nzb360 and Telegram are two of the best examples of pristine user experience and interface on Android. Take a look at those if you need ideas or inspiration.

Winget now has the vast majority of apps I need on a daily basis. No need to install Chocolatey anymore when I'm on a Windows machine.

Yoo BTC just dipped below $90K for the first time in months, wiping out its 2025 gains so far. Down about 2% YTD now, with the price hovering around $88,700 amid some market jitters. Buying the dip or waiting it out? 📉

Please, never just "vibe code" the start of a project. Use AI to help with the structure and architecture, but don't let it write all the code – you'll end up with an unmaintainable, inconsistent mess.

Aaaand back to Obsidian I am, now that it has Bases. I want to make it flexible and extensive so that I never have to move out of it again in my life 🤭

Markdown and front matter are everything you need for a good note-taking system.

Notion is one of the last daily apps I use that's not self-hosted. It's about time I find a solid replacement for note-taking and task planning. I'm currently trying out AFFiNE and Obsidian to see if they fit the bill. Really hoping the new Obsidian Bases feature turns out great!

Tailscale is one of the best additions to any home lab. It simplifies accessing your home network from anywhere, anytime – secure and effortless.

Typst is genuinely one of the best tools I've discovered in years. It's a document writing tool as flexible as LaTeX, but far less cumbersome! Whether you need to create a CV, take notes, make a presentation, or write a report – Typst handles it all. Plus, the community has created beautiful templates, so you don't have to start from scratch. Give it a try if you haven't already!

I hate to admit it, but MacBooks really are that good...

I urge you to self-host as much as you possibly can of the products and services you use. You'll feel a real sense of relief, knowing your data is truly yours, and privacy feels a whole lot better that way.

Java often gets dismissed by new devs as 'enterprise bloat,' but let's be real: it's rock-solid. Insanely extensive with tools for everything, and cross-platform like no other. Been around forever for a reason. If you're building scalable stuff, give it another look – it's still great!

I hate instant messaging for anything that's not urgent. We should get back to using email more often, where I only check it once or twice a day. Non-urgent notifications still pull my focus, make me grab my phone, and totally destroy my flow state... Yet we've normalized it.

I've said it time and time again, and I'll keep saying it: Just use Postgres for everything. It's versatile, reliable, handles it all, and there's an extension for basically anything you need.

Alright, I'm convinced. Immich is better than Google Photos and every other photo app. The AI features are GREAT, PRIVATE, and ACTUALLY USEFUL!
