We were playing "Do Whatcha Wanna" by Rebirth Brass Band but the bass line definitely sounds like the Northern Exposure theme!

My #mac TimeMachine backups on #synology keep getting corrupted and I have to erase and start again. One of these days this is going to bite me... any recommendations? #SuperDuper and #DiskWarrior come up occasionally but I don't really have a mental model of how they would work

Apple Intelligence helpfully recognizes that Long Island City is in fact, Pittsburgh

Apple Intelligence has recognized the skyline and declared it to be Pittsburgh.

It's not Pittsburgh.

to hell with your 2,000 line file and to hell with the import you rode in on. oh wait, you didn't import anything it's all in the same file 😠

To whomever came up with the GoPro file naming format: I just want to talk. I'm sure there was a reasonable technical limitation behind this decision.

Forgot to mention that if you self host any version control software with a web interface you probably want to make it undiscoverable or private otherwise scrapers will be going through each and every commit on each and every file constantly

This is a general call for everyone to stop using history.back() instead of linking to the actual page behind/above. If I can navigate to your page directly I don't want to go back to the new tab window when I click your "back" button!!

Shout out to past-Daniel for making a database backup cron job becuase today I forgot the where-clause on an update statement 😅 #webdev #sql

Archive.org is great for blogs and docs but it it can be a real pain if the code they link to is gone I've been self-hosting #gitea and now #forgejo for 5+ years, mostly for the ability to make auto-updating mirrors of any repos I want to ensure remain available.

Daniel 🛰️ @nyctugboatphotographer.com · 21/04/2025

Related: If you rely upon any software at work or at home and the source is available you should be mirroring it. I know it seems so damn unlikely to disappear... But things happen and people delete their GitHub accounts.
