I have clearly been not paying attention. But #linux kernel 7.1 is pretty big, at 200+ Mi. Basically, I found out cause I ran out of space on my EFI disk. Which is only 512 Mi. 🫠 I'll upgrade that partition size in the immediate future... 😅 Especially with #UKI being a thing. 😁

Ok. #kakoune session handling is out of this world. You can have the same session span multiple terminals! May not sound like a lot, but it unlocks full cross section file editing! ON THE SAME FILE!! 🤯 Yes. It's missing native #treesitter, but like... i can live with that gap for this skill. 😆

May seem obvious, but when doing batch insert, presort before writes. It helps significantly on writes and you get significant gains on any db really dealing with indexes (spoiler ALL OF THEM) andersmurphy.com/2026/06/07/s...
explaining how to when batch inserts, precalculating the uuidv7 and sorting can improve writes significant on random data

Idempotency is still achievable in distributed systems. But it means understanding how to make even time deterministic. 🫠

Trying new #deno deploy. And of course doing it self hosted with deployd. 😅 Have it running locally. But can't seem to get deno deploy cli working. Maybe something with the auth from the dashboard. 🤔 Though interestingly, you can get the dashboard show something when you have an existing repo...

Here I go again. Diving deep into modern #rdbms design. #turso feature introduction for materialized views in their #sqlite fork looks interesting, to say the least. 😅 turso.tech/blog/introdu...

Woah. Like if #ElectricSQL wasn't already amazing. Absolutely outstanding work by the team! Making a storage engine is not in any shape the simple path. But so immensely worth it, when you need it. 😎 electric-sql.com/blog/2025/08...

What's old is new. 😅 I'm one of the few that prefer email patches because of how powerful it is to review. Still, very awesome to see #gitbutler trying to do good here. Commit based reviews can be pure joy. But you MUST follow one change per commit for it to be reasonable. Else it's worse. 🙃

Did not know this, but you don't need to care about up reputation for #deltachat. 🤯 Makes complete sense why, as it's not using email like a regular email Case in point, very much still outstanding. 😎 delta.chat
