I don't "Google" questions anymore, I just ask the Gemini app (Pro 2.5). Specifically things that you would find in documentation or Stack Overflow, I get long winded answers but it has been reliably answering my questions with accurate nuance.

Paddle. I don't love their product as it's not as good as Stripe or Lemon Squeezy, but their fees were better than Lemon Squeezy.

That's not a MOR, that's their tax management offering, you still have to register yourself in every tax region and do the filling. Stripe bought Lemon Squeezy which is a MOR but it's a separate product with higher fees.

Yes, typically due to an oversupply of solar and low demand (because houses are running on solar).

Brett Adams @ba.au · 03/05/2025

I’d like to go on wholesale pricing and curtail my solar but Australia’s energy markets are price every 30min on 5min averages but you never know the final price until the 25th minute. It’s too unpredictable. Looking forward to our market moving to 5min settlements for consumers.

Brett Adams @ba.au · 03/05/2025

I get 2 hours of free electricity, and while my battery can fill up on solar before this time, it has greatly simplified my energy management because I can guarantee a full battery every day, event if it’s cloudy.

I'm curious how it determines what's a remote stream, because I don't use the Plex hosted proxy, I like any crazy person, expose my Plex ports to the internet directly and behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS. That's like a local connection with extra steps right?

I'll be speaking at #splunkconf25 in Boston later this year, and not just once, but *three* times! Get MORE data in. (PLA1078) You wouldn't Splunk a car? (PLA1080) Everything you didn't know about Metrics (DEV1136)

Mic check, 1, 2 - I'm speaking at .conf24 September 8 - 11 Boston, MA

When I started my small business I was quickly freaked out by international tax and pivoted from Stripe to a merchant of record. Yet so many of the services I use, which are MUCH bigger, don't charge me appropriate sales tax at all. Like @cloudflare.social, @theverge.com, @nuxt.com, and @zed.dev

I know how you feel. I love solving problems. I hate fixing solutions.

Yaaaaas! I went back to VS Code today for the first time in months to do some vibe coding. Looking forward to agents in Zed!

I wrote a Discord bot that responds to direct messages if I'm driving and gives them my speed and ETA. What could go wrong? /s

Brett Adams @ba.au · 23/03/2025

Naively, sounds like that product is broken then. That said I fully accept these tools go rouge. I recently asked CoPilot to fix my TypeScript errors and it added ts-ignore to every one.

I half disagree, it's not all hype, I find it genuinely useful to do the tasks I'm too lazy to do in my existing codebase. But I'd not trust it to write something novel from scratch.

000

To me you're treating it like a person, trying to make it feel bad that it lied about the test failure so that it might do better. I at least know with GitHub Copilot Workspace you give it a step to validate tests explicitly and it won't hallucinate a pass, and rework itself on failure.

As someone outside of the United States, it's less interesting hearing the analysis of how your country is tearing itself apart, and for me that's what's changed. Big Tech is global, the US politics of Big Tech less so.

I wish there was a product like @github.com CoPilot Workspace, but had much higher limits and just raise the PR when it was done. I dont care if it ran when there is spare inference and took much longer to complete, I just need a monkey to do monkey work.

Having two routers means you probably have double NAT. Unless you have the AmpliFi running in bridge mode help.amplifi.com/hc/en-us/art... Regardless if the Synology is plugged into the CenturyLink router or a downstream switch you only need to setup port forwarding there.

Enabling Bridge Mode

A router should only be placed in bridge mode when there is another router connected to the network. Two routers performing routing tasks will slow down your network; this can be solved by setting ...

If these were in the advance features section, isn't it fair to assume the use has advanced knowledge on how to configure, use, and maintain those features? Like setting up an IP is not something that's typically required for the average user, because DHCP does it for you.

This was long overdue. Now I just need to update bre77.au to point to my Blusky.

Brett Adams @ba.au · 05/03/2025

Oh it's not on the roadmap at all. That's fine, don't do it that often.

Brett Adams @ba.au · 05/03/2025

Oh something I should probably report properly is that if the pre-commit is huge there is no way to close it in the UI that I could figure out.

000

Brett Adams @ba.au · 05/03/2025

Is there a way to tag yet? I can't remember where/if that was on the roadmap.

Had a phantom Automatic Emergency Braking event in my Tesla Model 3 today. That's where the vehicle automatically applies full brakes until you come to a complete stop. Would have been a minor discomfort if it wasn't for my wife holding a tray of 4 coffees, which went all over her and the seats.

@zed.dev AI Edit prediction turns out to be a really good spell check when I'm writing markdown. Probably not the most efficient use of an LLM, but it works!

I own three versions of Halo 1 (Xbox, PC, Anniversary), and three versions of Stardew Valley (PC, Switch, Android), but that's all I can think of.

As a solo developer, I feel attacked by @atlassian.bsky.social marketing. Invite my team? Unleash the power of teamwork? I'm all alone here Atlassian!

I've been testing this in Zed for a few days now, and it's been really helpful for repetitive fixes. But I am starting to suffer from Tab fatigue.

When I figured out how to generate typescript from protobuf protocols using ts-proto, my development experience went through the roof. No more cross referencing multiple files just to create a valid message. Made me realise I hadn't been generating pyi files for my Python implementation either.

If you have had trouble setting up the Tesla Fleet integration in @home-assistant.io, I have good news: FleetKey.cc is working again!

But it's worth it right? I'm also lactose intolerant, but it doesn't stop me eating ice-cream or cheese! (I do avoid regular milk though)

<3 Passkeys, The Australian government authentication system (MyGov) even lets you disable your password entirely once you have a Passkey, reducing the attack surface further.

I'd do the rewrite when it was worth getting the performance improvement. I recently rewrote an API server to move from Express (which I knew) to Fastify (which is way better, but I had to learn it).
