I've finally put into words how I feel about AI with, what I might add, is a pretty good blog post title (even if I do say so myself) www.mikestreety.co.uk/blog/old-mac...

I've just rebuilt our bastion/jump servers and opted for SSHPiper github.com/tg123/sshpiper It's a great tool for having a jump server. I've written a custom plugin and posts to Slack when someone connects, so we have a visible audit trail.

Raye's new album is a musical masterpiece. It takes a few goes but it is _so_ worth it. Every song is an absolute tune in its own right and every time you listen you discover something new. Listen to it in full. Listen to it on repeat. Listen to it loud.

I've just got a new car and the B&O sound system sounds incredible (there's even a secret sub in the boot). Recommendations for good sounding albums please! bonus points if it doesn't have swearing so I can have it on with the kids in the car.

I feel like I need a third monitor now to be my "AI" window. So often I have Claude Code running and forget to check it - leave it for an hour and it's just sitting there on "can I move this file?"

Trying to have a proper crack at configuring Mega Linter (megalinter.io/latest/) It's potential is incredible, but trying to migrate existing linting config and set it up is mind bending. If anyone has any example config or tips, they would be appreciated!

If you're using Hetzner: I just saved over €10 a month (doesn't seem a lot but that's 25% of our bill) and increased resources of our VMs by rescaling them onto the new pricing. Worth a look!

Someone I know has had their wordpress website hacked but it only manifested itself if you come from a search engine. Explained to Claude Code (with Playwright MCP) the symptoms and within minutes it had identified the questionable requests and scripts along with an explanation as to what and why.

I've just got a MacBook M4 Pro and am looking for a single cable docking station for my 2 screens. I have HDMI on one and HDMI/DisplayPort/USB C (with DP Alt) on the other. Needs to also work with a Windows laptop. Does anything exist?

So, shamefully, I've been "vibe coding" recently. Not so much at work but more for evening side-projects - being able to set something whirring while washing up is potentially a game-changer. I've een trying Gemini CLI and Claude Code and both are quite impressive. Any others people are using?

I've got a new computer for work and have been setting up the basic apps. What struck me was not once did I open the app store. All the apps I installed had a direct download link (some also had App Store ones too). Is there a general movement to boycott the App store?

With the drop in price of the premium tier, I'm trying to decide if Gitlab premium is worth it. Is $900 less (for a year) as it stands which is pretty chunky. Anyone upgraded/running premium? Any unexpected killer features? #gitlab

In #11ty, can I get the numbered index of an item in reference to a specific collection. E.g. if I had blog posts with category listing pages. Looping through the posts I can use the loop index, but it might be on a category page its post 2,6 and 7. Is that data available?
