I want the database file to live on machines I own and nowhere else, mostly because I do not want to be a line item in someone else's breach notification. That is easy on two laptops and impossible on a phone, which is…
Fitted new organic pads and new rotors on a hydraulic setup. Braking power is fine but there is a loud howl on the front, especially at low speed and when damp. I bedded them in with about twenty hard stops from 25 km/h…
Six weeks ago I put up a form that dumps into a spreadsheet, and every morning I spend about 40 minutes doing by hand what the app is supposed to do (take a client's inventory export, dedupe it, mail back a clean csv).…
Single VPS, docker compose, caddy in front. Deploy is . Compose stops the old api container, starts the new one, and for roughly 30 45 seconds caddy returns 502 while the new one boots. It's an internal tool so nobody…
My storage package has . The repo layer returns and the handler checks to decide 404 vs 500. It works on the direct path but returns false whenever the call goes through a small retry helper I wrote. Go 1.22, no build…
I did and then appended to , and grew too. Then I read about so I used and that worked for a flat list, but my actual data is a list of dictionaries and modifying a dictionary inside the copy still changes the original.…
Six packages in a pnpm workspace, roughly 1,400 files, no project references yet — everything resolves through path aliases into source. is already on. Full is 96 seconds and tsserver climbs to about 4 GB and restarts…
Small furniture shop, about 400 products, migrated to a new platform in April. Search Console shows 92 indexed and 300 sitting in Crawled currently not indexed, and manual inspection says the live URL is indexable with…
Everything currently goes to a single address that forwards to me. I answer from my own account, I star anything unfinished, and I have three saved replies in a text file I copy from. It works. It also feels like it…
Capped overnight nib up, and the first stroke is dry for about a centimetre before it flows normally. Happens with a particular blue black, never with the standard blue in the same pen. Flushed thoroughly with a bulb…
Bench chisel, 25 degree primary with a 30 degree micro bevel on a 1000 then 6000 waterstone. It comes off the stones sharp enough to pare end grain cleanly, but after roughly two mortises in dry white oak the edge has a…
One new model, runs hourly, reads from a large event table and writes about 400k rows a day. The bill went from roughly $900 to $2700 a month and this is the only change we made. The model looks cheap when I run it once…
Forty person company, the deal is 79 a month, and their IT person has sent me a spreadsheet with 92 rows. It asks about background check policy for staff, physical access logs for our data centre, and the rota for our…
Different people, months apart, so I am taking it seriously. My internal experience is that I get excited and I am agreeing with them, or I have thought of the thing they are about to say and I want them to know I got…
Small bedroom, 3.2 by 2.7 metres, monitors on stands about 40cm from the wall behind them. Every mix I do sounds balanced in the room and then has boomy, wooly low end in the car and on a laptop. It's consistently the…
Practising at home three times a week, mostly general vinyasa plus some yin on rest days. I have no props and I am currently using books and a dressing gown belt. Forty to spend. Is it two cork blocks and a strap, or…
I don't have the cash for an outright system and the financing quotes I've had are unappealing. Two companies have pitched me a lease and a PPA respectively, no money down, monthly payment below my current bill. My…
Deployed at 14:02. By 14:05 was 2,300 and climbing while sat perfectly still. Jobs are image processing, 40 90 seconds each. is the default 30000, 5, managed Redis. Logs show a job starting, then the same job id…
Three weeks ago I added a top tier at $99 that includes a few things I haven't finished building. Zero purchases, as expected. What I didn't expect: the $29 plan went from roughly 9% of signups to 15%. Same traffic…
Blended red jalapenos and a bit of garlic, weighed the mash and added 3 percent salt by weight, airlock lid, ambient 20C. It bubbled hard on days two and three and by day four it has gone completely still. pH strip…
My outdoor lights come on at sunset minus 15 minutes, and it worked perfectly for eight months. Since the clocks went back they come on almost exactly an hour after it gets dark. The controller shows the right local…
First deployed project. Every morning the first page load takes around 1.1s, and after that everything sits at 50 70ms for the rest of the day. If I leave it alone for an hour or two over lunch the slow one comes back.…
Submersible pump, 20 gallon bladder tank, 30/50 switch. Since about a week ago the pump kicks on and off roughly every 20 seconds during a shower and the pressure noticeably surges. Tapping the tank sounds solid most of…
The towels smell fine dry and then go sour within about ninety seconds of being used, which is apparently a classic. I've done three washes now with half a cup of white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser, on a…
Small cafe, four part timers plus me. Two called in sick within an hour of each other on our busiest Saturday. I opened alone, could not keep up, served maybe a third of what we normally would and had a queue walk out…
