Just some feedback: Too little information revealed that it would make me want to hand out my email address in return.

There are so many small but important one-maintainer projects where this would probably make a bigger difference than everyone pointing at the usual big ones here.

Nice. Interesting app. I just cannot get over the fact that we are paying 100 bucks a year (plus a percentage) and still need 3rd party software to make a shitty service usable.

I didn't think it was possible to have worse tooling and processes than those for releasing to the Apple App Store. Now I'm trying their notarization service for the first time. Current status: In Progress......................................................................... I stand corrected.

It's complicated and very non-binary. In theory ❤️ but what some implementation make out of it 😢 In combination with a password manager a little closer to the yay. But for most cases they need another fallback.

I’m still trying to remember a single instance where an acquisition turned out to be great for the customers. Can you think of any?

It was already hard to convince business people that good code matters. It is sad to see engineers fall victim to the same illusion that it does not. If you treat code as a blackbox: Who will take responsibility for it?

I just upgraded from macOS 15 to macOS 27. I am very glad I skipped macOS 26 and migration was pretty smooth (so far - knock on wood). I am still not a fan of the visual changes - but still better than macOS 26. Let's celebrate the small wins.

Yay, another “hot takes” post about AI that ages like milk. Some of those points are so bad that they outweigh the few where he’s actually right. Someone should collect these posts and read them out loud in 5y.

Indeed, AI work is a bit like herding baby animals. A very different job description from deep-focus engineering sessions.

I just found typesafe.ai I still do not have enough details to decide what to think of it. But the classifier interface feels so much more suited to a lot of tasks that people somehow stuff into the LLM pipeline. It feels a lot more like classic machine learning.

I you want o have a quick laugh: I just shot myself in the foot because Apple insists that CFBundleVersion cannot be reset for a given bundle. Now I have to add 30000000000000000 to the bundle version for this project - forever. I'll add this to my list of Apple frustrations.

Today I released v2 of ScanCode. Does Product Hunt still matter these days? I somewhat doubt it will help for such a niche tool - but let's find out. Comes with some free promo codes! www.producthunt.com/products/sca...

The way I read it: Unless every domains I own is a Google Workspace, sending via "Send As" will no longer be possible either. So only @gmail and @yourworkspace will continue to work. Which to me is still a deal breaker.

Same here. Gmail was my email hub for many years. Time to take my data elsewhere 🙃 and move on. So far I wasn't happy with the alternatives. But I guess they will have to do. A shame that self-hosting has become such a non-option.

Torsten Curdt @tcurdt.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Many people have DeGoogle'ed their lives already. For me, migrating away from Gmail has always been the hardest thing. But it seems I am on the clock now. support.google.com/mail/answer/... No longer supporting aliases for sending is a deal breaker.

I have tried quite a few slicers over the years. Eventually I settled on Orca. Simplify3D -> Slic3r -> PrusaSlicer -> SuperSlicer -> OrcaSlicer But I have to say - the new PrusaSlicer 3 looks pretty convincing. Looking forward to trying a release. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMup... #3dprinting

Darn, this looks interesting: github.com/tailscale/ta... "Tailscale without Tailscale, by Tailscale" The only thing that makes me hesitate beside the usual nerd testing for now: "Tailcat is free to use, but it comes with no API or CLI stability promises"

github.com

GitHub - tailscale/tailcat: like netcat, but over Tailscale's data plane, without Tailscale's control plane

Nix is a hate-love relationship for me. Amazing and frustrating at the same time. It makes you question a lot of the status quo. But one thing it is for sure: It's really hard to go back to "the old ways" after being infected with the ideas.

Torsten Curdt @tcurdt.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Indeed. Different ball game. But still reminded me of the project. Yes, the board is very close to the micro:bit. Compiling it to the actual byte code of the machine in-place really is next level. I am wondering how much memory is needed for that.

Torsten Curdt @tcurdt.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

That reminds me of a former customer. calliope.cc I created a custom machine code set and wrote an emulator that runs it on the microcontroller. We had a "compiler" to turn simple swift-like code into the compact machine code to send and run via bluetooth without flashing. Was a fun project :)

Enpass is still not saving and not filling the password. Anything else I could do to help?

Torsten Curdt @tcurdt.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I am using Enpass - not the native macOS password manager. Ping me for a re-test anytime. Thanks for working on this.

Torsten Curdt @tcurdt.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

The 2nd page, the conditional registration, was pretty broken for me. (Brave, Enpass on macOS 15) There wasn't a way to communicate it - so just a quick message here.

Unfortunately reticulum is python. And IIUC the initial brain behind reticulum got burned out from the open source work and had to step back. But it just sounds like a truly amazing project. Seems the rust port made some good progress! github.com/BeechatNetwo...

Torsten Curdt @tcurdt.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Looks like a pretty nice interface. But it's so new - it will take a while to become trustworthy. The file sending feels like the wrong layer though. Maybe a little apples and oranges - but I find reticulum.network even more interesting.
