OS number 27 -> 27 Gb of download. That is 90x times more than the latest Windows XP images.

After a few days, despite Omarchy being interesting, Hyperland and tiling WM are definitely not for me. Plus a bunch of opinionated stuff I really dislike. Let's go to Fedora.

Omarchy really is a nice distro - I've replaced my good old Mint I was using for years by it. I've installed Lerd to manage my Laravel projects and it works like a charm. Literally a one-minute install and we are done: https, everything setup. Bravo @geodro lerd.sh/getting-star...

PHP development on Omarchy
Omarchy ships an opinionated Arch and Hyprland desktop, but no PHP stack. Lerd adds one: automatic .test domains, HTTPS, per-project PHP 7.4 to 8.5, shared MySQL, PostgreSQL and Redis, rootless…

GitHub mobile site is way better than its mobile app to simply find latest PRs and merge them. There is way too much bloat in the app and it's also slower for some reason.

Having fun designing the timeline of life events in a contact in the upcoming Monica version. Of course everything will be customizable at ease.

Regardless of the plateform stability, I think it's safe to say that the full rewrite of Github in React has made it full of bugs, inconsistent counters everywhere, and general slowness. I wish more people would consider serving views from the backend. Like the good old days.

Just asked Claude to optimize my .zshrc. Went from ~1.08s to ~0.16s startup time when opening a new tab. Amazing times.

Happy to release a new Laravel package. github.com/monicahq/lar... - You need to quickly peak into the database as you develop things locally. - You are too lazy to setup TablePlus. - Install this package, go to `/db` url, and browse your database straight from your local app. #laravel

Bravo for the progress. It's awesome to see it grow like that.

Absolutely convinced you do not need Vue or React anymore in most web apps. Alpine Ajax coupled with Turbo, or HTMX, is all you need to keep things so, so simple and easy to understand.

It's impressive to witness all those tech CEO or CTO become basically super far right wing as soon they have success. Like money unleashed their inhibitions. For the worse.

Definitely something I will do moving forward. On side projects that are meant to last 10+ years, depending on a library for CSS is dangerous in the long term.

Because of Omarchy itself perhaps? I've had this with its very first version. I'm still using Mint after a year on my desktop and it works flawlessly. Not sure I want to try Omarchy again to be honest.

I would argue that the best animations in a window manager is no animation at all 🫣

You ask the question but you know the answer already I think. I'm convinced it won't make a difference on a daily basis. It'll make you happier the first few days but won't have an impact on the long run.

Codex offers that for free as well? Didn't see that one. I will definitely try to get one 😁

While I understand your feelings, as I feel the same with my own tool, I think you have a very long time ahead of you before the tool dies. The enterprise market is *HUGE* and is years ahead AI adoption.

Over the last few months, I've rebuilt my RSS / content reader project call Feedster. It's unique in that it gives users a front page view of their feed content, organizes feeds into channels, allows users to share these channels, and supports MCP for AI agents to access feeds.

It’s basically automating your AI to do things for you based on a cron, and consuming tokens at the speed of light in the process. It’s awesome and somehow not necessary.

Turns out, you can do wonderful things with pure Blade + Alpine Ajax. No need for JS frameworks at all.

Last week I had to send back the Unifi Express 7. I have both the UE7 and the Dream Router 7 (this one is connected to 1Gbps internet), and Internet works much better at home now that the UE7 is not there anymore. Hope the replacement unit will make it better.

Since I plan to move to Linux full time in 2026 (desktop is already on it, laptop is not), I will not use external tools to automate stuff. I've just setup auto upload of screenshots to GDrive with bash scripts. It works really well.

Apparently, the path in the software industry is that once you become rich, you inevitably adopt far-right ideologies disguised as 'progress for humanity'.

After using Kagi for a while, I decided it was not for me. Its promise to make search better conflicts entirely with the fact that Kagi uses Google behind the scenes. I've been using Duckduckgo instead exclusively for the last 9 months and it's been amazing. Not using something else. Just works.

iOS 26 will be the last iOS I'll use. I'll wait for my iPhone to die, then never buy from this company again. Same for the laptop. Their software truly are becoming atrocious.

So confused by this. What's the point of posting this apart from publicly accepting the current situation? Also, Twitter really is a piece of shit place where everything that was once shameful now is the standard. This is sad.
