#Boulder’s new comprehensive plan could create capacity for up to 40% more housing, largely through “gentle infill” like duplexes, townhomes and ADUs. What gets built depends on zoning and the market. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/08/27/b...

Boulder approves land-use plan that could make room for up to 40% more housing

The update to the Boulder Valley’s land-use map follows two years of public engagement and debate and establishes a new long-term development framework for the region.

Woke up to a ruckus going on outside - thought someone was trying to break into our garage - but nope just a black bear mama and her cubs just annihilating our compost bin

Nu Shell Nu Me – travis' blog

Did a little write up on my great experience learning nushell to explore some game data files. Although I need to find a better syntax highlighter for Hugo that can handle nushell now… treyburn.dev/posts/2026_0...

my car is throwing an engine trouble code, and I can just directly plug an intelligence into it and it will talk to the car computer and just figure it out the present is unbelievably cyberpunk

PSA: there’s food in the woods!

An assortment of wild edible mushrooms. Porcini (king bolete), Hawks Wing (sarcodon), and some kind of agaricus that I was too uncertain to commit to eating

Wrote this blog/recipe post a while back but never published it. Stream-o-consciousness recipe is a bit of a disaster but then again so am I. treyburn.dev/posts/2026_0...

A reflection on slow food, soulcraft, and the pursuit of a slower life in the age of AI. Also a recipe for rabbitr ragu!

Few things fill my cup like biking around town going on a coffee-errands-lunch-date with my wife.

Not too shabby for never having been a barista

Finally saw the Odyssey (in glorious 70mm). I have some thoughts. Namely - why did nobody move the dog off the dung heap??? He’s an old dog - he’s going to catch sepsis!

that’s so stressful - im so sorry. i creeped your linkedin and we have similar-ish backgrounds. want me to send platform eng recruiters your way? cause say the word and I’ll do it

i honestly feel like recruiters are discriminating against candidates that aren’t currently employed. I’ve been helping out a friend that got laid off in Feb by forwarding his info to all the recruiters that cold email me. he hasn’t landed a job yet - but he’s been getting interviews out of this 🤷‍♀️

Do I resist the urge to DIY a sub-30db air purifier built around a 200mm Noctua fan? No. I give in completely.

We even got hail in north Boulder!

I mean I guess we just have to downgrade our instances and eat the latency cost if it comes to it. But like - big yikes

Honestly shook hearing them say this. Does this mean we can’t allocate additional disk capacity in our DBs until they resolve this?! Holy moly this feels like a ticking time bomb!

Ok now THIS is crazy. I’m hearing from our GCP rep that the reason we can’t provision any new database instances is because gcp-west1 has completely exhausted its SSD capacity

The future is so dumb. We can’t even operate normal software anymore because chatbot throughput is more important.

So now we can’t recreate our read replicas. Which don’t even need much resources in the first place! 32cpu and 128mem in 2 regions is all we’re asking for. We even have those resources back! But now they’ve already been allocated because everything is so oversubscribed.

Wow - apparently Google left us in a broken state where our read replicas are no longer able to replicate. Apparently the only solution there is to blow away our read replicas and re-create them. Except now that we’ve done that - GCP still doesn’t have any resources.

Rainy day? Yeah I should probably roast a chicken and make some stock

Man - AI has completely eaten up the clouds capacity. We straight up can’t do a Postgres major version upgrade because GCP doesn’t have the capacity available for a measly 64cpu/256gb mem in their “Enterprise Plus” node pool. Scheduled 2 maintenance windows and failed twice now. Ridiculous!

Ok! Crufty, overkill package stuttering removed! ```shell go install go.treyburn.dev/farkle@latest ```

I should probably drop the /cmd/ stutter cruft too. You shouldn’t need to know any directory details to `go install` this thing.

But until then you can just `go install go.treyburn.dev/farkle/cmd/farkle@latest` it if you wanna check it out. Or grab the binary off the GH release.

At some point I’d like to add automatic install script generation to my vanity project - so you could just `curl go.treyburn.dev/farkle/install.sh | sh` it straight to your system

Had a fun time and learned a lot on this project! - Nushell was brand new and is gonna be a staple in my toolbox. - Mise! Idk how I’ve gone this long without using this. - Bubbletea continues to be a joy to work with. - GitHub immutable releases continue to trip me up ever new project 🫠

GitHub - treyburn/farkle: A TUI of interactive dice roll tables for KCD2's farkle minigame

Gave myself a Ship-It-Saturday goal today - and I did it! I’ve been playing a lot of #KCD2 and thus a lot of dice! Most of the dice tables on the internet are woefully out of date. So why not make a cool little TUI for it? github.com/treyburn/far...

First week of school is over - but that sudden back-to-school micro-biome shift has already gotten my partner sick. T-minus 2 days for me! 😑

Wow how have I not been using mise this whole time?

Oh woah - Unraid is rebasing onto uCore!? Well I guess I can shelve my bespoke homelab distro project now - and re-focus on my bespoke dev desktop bluefin+dms distro project instead 😂
