Reading Rebuilding Rails (rebuilding-rails.com) to commemorate Noah and learn from him. Very sad news, RIP.

An excerpt from Noah Gibbs book Rebuilding Rails on Why to rebuild Rails ourselves.

About 3 hours but most of the time I just tinkered with proper CSS selectors to extract the right stuff from the page and place the button to the right place. This is actually the complete code:

I built a Chrome extension yesterday that injects a button into a shared mailbox in our Outlook web so that our admins can look up the given mail sender in our CRM with a single click. It was surprisingly easy! Love to make our Support team happy 😊.

Yesterday was my birthday and thus a good time to sync my 4K Weeks poster (you basically fill a dot each week to get a high-level view of your life progress) with reality. Turns out I missed just 8 weeks during the last year, not bad! 🙂

My 4K Weeks poster where I draw a dot each week to be in a high-level contact with my life progress. Almost all dots for my past year are filled.

Thanks for the nudge! I removed the browser check from all our apps. The weirdest thing is that this effectively blocks you from using the mobile device preview in the browser as all the virtual devices have too old User Agent strings… So weird!😣

A webpage open in the mobile device preview in a browser, saying "Status 406, Not Acceptable. Your browser is not supported".

I spent 2+ hours figuring out why our Action Mailbox does not recognize some emails and route them properly. The solution was to add the single letter "O" to our SMTP server config. Mailing is hard.

Postfix master.cf configuration file with forwarding to Rails settings and an "O" pipe command flag highlighted.

Got it, it was the two lines after setting up docker buildx. As far as I understood it, without them the GHA cache actually is not used for docker builds caching in Kamal. I originally found this trick here: jetthoughts.com/blog/automat...

Had fun today converting some old blurry icons to SVGs using AI. After trying various free online tools I got some great results when upscaling the icons 4× with imgupscaler.com first and vectorizing them only after that. www.recraft.ai performed the best for me w/out needing any elaborate tweaks.
