I been waiting for the release of #multigres. A #postgres sharding and connection pooling solution by #supabase. This is low key amazing tech. So many places where it will fit. Predominantly on #cockroachdb market value. 😁

I gotten to learn enough on #graphql to know that implementing involves figuring out your own way to the loose spec. So having a community share for figured out specs is the right move. At least get some conformity in this space. 😅

One of the promising things that has happened with ai agents is that we #CLI now. 😅 #DNSimple product is already well worth it. Now with the CLI, it just makes sense. Not everything needs the api. And these CLI tools make things easier for auth in general. 😎

We live on the weirdest of timelines.

One where #Microsoft Linux distribution is fully accessible, instead of in a small sub-space called "Azure". 😅

I'm quite curious what are the plans for #DuckDB on 2.0. They have an #OLAP local renaissance in their hands. 😎

#email standards are how to federate widely.

I'm a fan of #JMAP. Extensively versatile protocol. Without the baggage of gotchas from #IMAP. 🫠

But won't be adopted by corps. They already built their custom version on top of IMAP. 😅

Still. Email works. 😎

The #canonical #craft ecosystem is interesting. Learning from #nix to produce a concise artifacts.

What makes it different is targets are based on which craft you use. Like if you want an app, then #snapcraft is likely it. But #debcraft is a new one to target debs directly. Or say #imagecraft which creates an os image.

In nix you target all the things with the same language. But I think this approach of target based tooling makes sense as well. 😅

#Fastmail has now an #mcp server.

If you use with #qwen36 locally, you got yourself a fully private access to your emails. Benefits of ai without snooping. 😅

So no #Google or ai vendor training on your data. 😎

Ok, this is unexpected. #Framework 13 pro with #LPCAMM2 ram! Even #Linux first marketing. 🤯

Granted, you should not buy anything with ram or CPU or disk drives until the ai bubble pops. 😅 Still exciting to see.

#canonical #notary is such an elegant solution to #TLS expiration. 😅

Handling distributed TLS expiration is not exactly a solved problem. So many incidents due to it. Even with notary just being an intermediary, worlds better than managing it all. 🫠

So the #thunderbird team at #Mozilla created a new ai agent tool called #thunderbolt. 😵‍💫 Did not see that coming. 😅

My question is more of how does it impact the new thunderbird pro effort the same team is trying to release. 🤔

https://www.thunderbolt.io/announcing-thunderbolt

So let's get this straight. #cal is moving proprietary because ai is finding bugs. Bugs also can be patched by ai as well. And they think #opensource is the problem?! 🤣

Mind you, ai will STILL find bugs on. 😅 AI is a lot of things, but these excuses are getting ridiculous. 🫠

https://cal.com/blog/cal-com-goes-closed-source-why

I totally agree #ai #agents have made it easier to fork open source pieces, make patches, etc.

Doesn't mean you provide slop. 🫠 You still review, design, and make changes maintainable. Agents just make it easier. Especially when it's a repeatable mundane task. 😅

Without a doubt, I'm "trying to change a lightbulb."

All I wanted was to start up a server. 🫠

I'm now researching creating a grammar for docker-bake. Forking #HCL one. So I can get the #docker bake set up "JUST right" on #helix with docker-language-server. So I can fix the annoyance of #terraform #LSP being used incorrectly. Then refactor a dockerfile. So I can then upload into a registry cleanly.

So I can finally host the darn thing. 🤣

Oh god, I'm a web dev now. 🤣

One of the main reasons I want to use #ubuntu 26.04 is for the #framework desktop. 😅 All that #amd #rocm package handling. 😇

I didn't need more reasons for the release. 😁

You know you doing something wrong in digital rights, when the @eff@mastodon.social leaves your platform because of how bad your platform is in digital rights. 🫠

I left #logseq for #obsidian.

The tool continues to work. Yet, I know focus is on database version. Meaning current stable is a bit lacking. 🫠

What's interesting is how difficult finding an outliner as good as logseq. There's really none.

Venturing out isn't THAT bad... Let's see in 3 months. 😅

So with #Ubuntu 26.04 around the corner, I been prepping to use besides #popos. Nothing wrong with #cosmic, but the new #gnome 50 release hits all my buttons. 😅

... Except tiling. I remembered there was a post years ago about better tiling in gnome called #mosaic. Cue in #MosaicWM by @CleoMenezesJr@floss.social . Absolutely outstanding work in making window management better.

I think I may found the way. 😎
@CleoMenezesJr@floss.social

Absolutely incredible work by #DeltaChat for the latest release.

As more authoritarian society becomes, the need these tools. Privacy and true decentralization are a must, not an optionality. 🫠

I've been slowly moving to #zswap. Though now, quite quickly thanks to this article. 😅 Especially when using #NVMe, the advantage is quite apparent. 😉

https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html

Ok. This the moment I stop using #coredns and maybe #powerdns, for #erldns. 😎

The implement of #CodDel without me doing a single thing... Simply start the server... I don't think I need another dns authoritative server. 😉

Excellent work from #dnsimple!

Understated how powerful a procfile processor with log handler can be. It's what made #Heroku shine.

May seem simple, but immensely powerful once you learn how to tune to your workflow. 😉

In other words, I'm going to use #Overtail now. 😁

https://www.aha.io/engineering/articles/over-it-all

Like I needed any more reason to dislike #GitHub. 🫠https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-github-copilot-interaction-data-usage-policy/

I totally get #Mozilla point. But I also remember when we had too many web engines and none followed a standard. 🫠

We do need competition. But competition that continues to work together on web standards.

#TypeScript 6 feels like #php 6.

Not in the forever development. It's out now! But more in being a placeholder, until 7 is released. And 7 is definitely the excitement. #golang base with actual logic that makes sense. 😅

Started to use #SystemManager from #numtide and I'm SO with this. 😎

I don't run #nixos. Yes. I still prefer #ubuntu or #popos. I like the distros and usually deviate their base to be anything anyhow. 😏

But that does not mean I like missing declaration magic. System manager lets me still do all the crazy things I normally do. Plus I get some guard on my system settings. 😅

#GNOME 50 release is packed with changes.

May seem trivial, but the parental controls is something I was really looking forward to. Especially with younger kids. Older ones will find a way around. 😅 But the younger ones are where this really helps. Especially with putting a timer. They don't understand time without it. ⌛

https://release.gnome.org//50/

Oh no, #astral got acquired by #openai. Something had to give. I think the tools astral made are truly great changing for #python. But now with this acquisition... Color me surprised if #OpenAI does more of the plans astral had. 🫠

https://astral.sh/blog/openai

I haven't been tracking, but #JavaScript #Temporal date time library is GA. 😍

It's a must have!

I can remember many failures in js world attributed to date usage. So much pain... Made me hate js almost instantly when I learned of date. 😅

Now safari is left to fix. 🫠

All these quality of life improvements in #ghostty. 😍 Congrats to the whole team for 1.3.

The native notification on command finish! I've had a #fishshell plugin for I don't know how many years for this... I'm going to need to test this magic. 😎

https://ghostty.org/docs/install/release-notes/1-3-0

Another brilliant release of #DuckDB! Pager, PEG for search and insights by default. I need no other analytical tool now. 😅

https://duckdb.org/2026/03/09/announcing-duckdb-150

#Devenv 2 is out and it is impressive! 😁 Great work team. Going to ride through in some personal projects to test out.

I been moving to flake parts all my things, but still. Would like these dev shell benefits. 😎

Interesting to see combinator conditions on #typescript for CLI.

This is something that's hard to do in any CLI library. Easier with typed languages, but still can be complex. Very cool to see with #optique and their approach leveraging the type system. 😎

Fascinating article on ai #agents ecosystem.

On the article, I do think local agents can work, but you have to set very small limits.

Further, I've learned to think how to compartmentalize context with agents. Which it so happens, helps humans as well. 😅

Nice, green tea gc is default more in #golang. Played with it and was already an improvement. Now waiting for json2 and runtime/secrets to revamp all the code I can find. 😅

https://go.dev/doc/go1.26

So I started to look over again for self hosting #oidc #authn. #pocketid, #voidauth, and #hanko are the simplest. All #passkey focused.

Yet still, Pocket ID is by far the easiest to run. Strictly Unix like focused on doing one thing. But doing one thing really well. 😎

Reasoning for #agents making #elixirlang a super power. 😎

Sure there's more #JavaScript and #Python code out. But the level of quality and side effects... They even hard for humans to conceptualize. 😅

This is where elixir can really shine. Functionally concise. 😎
