Aaaaand single-file executable Inertia SSR with Svelte is alive! 🎉The hard part was getting Bun to understand Svelte, if you use React this is probably very easy. Once import.meta.glob is supported it'll be a nothingburger no need for node on your server, just scp and ./ssr 🤤

Nerd sniped myself, and I have Inertia SSR working with Bun. Haven't gotten it built into a binary yet but it seems plausible without being too painful (now that I got the plugin figured out) Here's a gist of the Bun plugin to get Svelte Inertia SSR working gist.github.com/saml-dev/4ff...

My favorite thing about Go is how easy it is to deploy a single binary. I wondered if I could switch Inertia SSR from a node process to a binary with no external dependencies... you can. I have it working locally with no changes to Inertia itself. Just a few changes to ssr.js

My coworker just said the funniest thing. We were talking about kids, he’s got 4 ages 10-20. I have one kid, 19 months old, and said I’ve already thought about how challenging teenage years will be. His response:

Working on a growth chart for my wife’s bday, made out of white oak. I made a jig from random scraps to get straight consistent lines with my router. Making jigs is one of the most satisfying parts of woodworking

Great find at the lumber yard today 😍 figured sapele for a great price. I don’t have a project in mind, what should I make with it? I might make a serving board for my sister for Christmas but would still have 2/3 of the board left

Okay so I've got a decision to make. I'm taking over the HOA site for my new neighborhood, and it's currently a wordpress site that is slow and expensive. I want to just rewrite it in Laravel, but obviously someone with 0 programming knowledge wouldn't be able to just take it over

If you ever watch a couple YouTube videos on a random topic and then the algorithm won’t stop recommending those videos to you (like how to fix your dryer) just go to your watch history and remove those videos. Problem solved

Update: PHPxATL this Wednesday is CANCELLED. RSVPs are unusually low for this meetup (possibly due to Laracon in a couple weeks) so we are going to cancel this one and regroup in September. Apologies for the short notice and we’re looking forward to seeing you again soon!

So tonight I discovered I can directly access route model bindings inside a FormRequest, but it feels sort of icky since the FormRequest doesn't necessarily *know* it's being called from a route that has the model bound. what do you do in this situation? 🤔

class UpdateBucketRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*/
public function authorize(): bool
{
return Auth::user()->can('view', $this->bucket);
}
}

Flew to Greece last night 🇬🇷 first flight since I got these earbuds which let you plug the case into a headphone jack for an instant wireless connection. So I can watch the built in screen with noise cancelling earbuds. Such a great idea
