Managed to have a play with Godot 4 this weekend, as a longtime Unity user it felt so nice to use. Definitely gonna remake some of my old performance games in it and try and use it going forward.

I just feel like a tree sidebar and a big list of code diffs isn't the most optimal way to review code changes. I don't know what the answer is, but it ain't this.

I find myself longing for a like “reading” platform. That is Storygraph + readwise reader + audiobook server + notes/highlight aggregator + epub hosting and syncing.

My mac mini network mount has failed for the last time. Gonna move the remaining containers over to my thinkstation linux box this weekend. I am putting this out into the universe and search results: Do not use a mac mini as a home server if you’re mounting data from a NAS. It’s not worth the faff.
