Ben @nuro.dev · 11/07/2026I do love that it took them several years to add dark mode. They finally add it and it’s half baked. In 3 years one engineer will have an hour free to fix it and wait 2 months to actually get it merged and deployed. 060
Ben @nuro.dev · 06/06/2026Finally got myself a mini rack for my homelab and damn is this thing nice! Especially with some 3D printed mounts Next up: 2nd rack for compute 🧠 010

Ben @nuro.dev · 26/05/2026Apple: “We need to verify you’re 18+” Me: “Urrrgghhh fine” Apple: “Your account is old enough, nevermind” Then what is the point of asking me?? 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 26/05/2026I was saying this to someone the other day I really wish there was a proper integration system so package previews, AI reviews, changesets, etc all get grouped together and collapsible separate from actual user comments 060
Ben @nuro.dev · 24/05/2026Revisiting Deno for the first time in a while and honestly I feel like more LLM's should be using it for one off scripts. Why don't they? 📄 One file for everything 📦 Import from npm & JSR using specifiers like `npm:` 🔒 Permissions required to access network, fs, etc 110
Ben @nuro.dev · 21/05/2026Building SOMETHING is easy now Building something GREAT still requires precision and an eye for detail 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 17/05/2026A simpler time with better content? Actually owning the content rather than renting forever? Take your pick 010
Ben @nuro.dev · 10/05/2026Spending some more time to learn how to build this the right way and learning Swift along the way. Swift sure is an interesting language and in some ways gets a lot of things right. In other ways it's very confusing. 010
Ben @nuro.dev · 04/05/2026Spent my bank holiday weekend building a proof-of-concept native iOS Bluesky client. Very early days but super fun to experiment with Swift (UI) and AT Proto 2100
Ben @nuro.dev · 04/05/2026I did actually find this before as well and core of it is great! Though it doesn't really feel very seamless to use & is not idempotent for the key use-case of publishing a blog post. I may still give it a try, and if need be try and contribute some improvements to it. 010
Ben @nuro.dev · 03/05/2026This is super cool! It kind of makes me want to build an Astro integration that, on deployment, publishes my markdown content collections as @standard.site documents. As Tim put it: One source of truth, many views. 160
Ben @nuro.dev · 02/05/2026It is weird that it's not officially supported, but the official docs refer to an official Tangled Docker repo with a Compose stack that runs just fine (Though I did replace the image with Docker Hub instead of ATCR) tangled.org/tangled.org/...tangled.org 010
Ben @nuro.dev · 29/04/2026Social media is, for better or for worse, a part of the modern world. It should be as open just like the modern web. 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 29/04/2026Okay I am actually loving finding all the new alternatives to everything! Twitter ➡️ Bluesky Instagram ➡️ Pinkleap Reddit ➡️ Nooki Discord ➡️ Colibri GitHub ➡️ Tangled DockerHub ➡️ ATCR npm ➡️ npmx 100
Ben @nuro.dev · 29/04/2026It does also make me think about what more of the modern social internet can & should be powered by AT Proto 🤔 100
Ben @nuro.dev · 29/04/2026And to that end, thanks to @mk.gg I'm now running my own PDS. So cool & nice to say I own my own social data 110
Ben @nuro.dev · 29/04/2026Honestly spending time over the past few days learning more about AT Proto I understand why it's so important and how cool it really is! 110
Ben @nuro.dev · 03/01/2026Playing around more with Opus 4.5 & asked it to create me a TUI for Cloudflare R2. Less than an hour later I now have a SFE for it. 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 06/09/2025Here's a quick breakdown of some of the basics 👇 nuro.dev/posts/typesc...nuro.devTypeScript codegen 101 ─ nuroLearn the basics of how to use the TypeScript Compiler API to generate TypeScript code. 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 06/09/2025The @typescriptlang.org compiler API is an insanely powerful tool that few know exists or use. Likely because there is little to no documentation for it. But once you learn the basics it's actually amazing! 120
Ben @nuro.dev · 15/08/2025I knew buying a Mac Mini to be part of my homelab would be "interesting", but I never expected to have to be doing multiple system restarts until my reverse proxy container magically detects the local DNS record for my NAS. 020
Ben @nuro.dev · 03/08/2025Damn, seems one of the hard drives I bought is already starting to fail. Time to see how easy the RMA process is. 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 30/07/2025I love having to take time out of my day to write emails to my MP to educate them on why age-gating or child-proofing the entire internet is a bad idea. 000

Ben @nuro.dev · 25/07/2025Ah okay, there we go. Now everything under the sun requires ID. Now, how long do we give it before there's a data breach? 110
Ben @nuro.dev · 21/07/2025Wait, so to view “mature content” on Reddit in the UK I now need to give them a government ID or selfie proving I’m 18. But to view porn you can just click a “Yeah sure I’m totally 18” button?? 200

Ben @nuro.dev · 27/05/2025Hey, so sorry about that. I accidentally published a new version without the setup guide. I will publish an updated download shortly that will re-add this. 010
Ben @nuro.dev · 26/05/2025I also took a moment to try out DurableObjects & I like the premise of them. But I seriously feel like I am communicating with the ether. I have no way to view or control state stored. Metrics to track usage ofc but apart from that you would need to build your own tools to manage state / storage? 000
Ben @nuro.dev · 25/05/2025Honestly, I feel you! The underlying product has SOOOOO much potential, but there feels like so many caveats, shoehorns & workarounds to the DX that half the time I find myself praising & the other half dreading using the platform 010
