Curious, adaptable and meticulous developer, with a taste for backend and DevOps, supervised and distributed systems, infrastructure as code, and automation.

Disabled (French “RQTH”). I probably can’t make it past the usual hiring process because of that.

My favorite tools: NixOS, Elixir, Tailscale, Zsh, NeoVim, Blender, ffmpeg.

I also like poker and video science (gamma transfer functions, timecode, etc.).

Yep. Also no author – an actual writer would have taken credit. I flagged the article but it did nothing.

Woops! This is what sleep deprivation does. Thanks!

Because support for the app stops the moment the Claude Code subscription ends. No-one enjoys unmaintained apps.

Let’s be honest, most people do not review the full output of Claude Code because of slop fatigue.

Where in the terms of service or in the admin UI do you see this information? You can pre-pay, yes, and the CDN service (and ONLY the CDN service) has a setting to stop the billing. But the other services do not seem to have a limit on how much you can get billed.

I want to love Bunny. But I am terrified about being suddenly charged thousands of euros if some unexpected traffic from LLM/crawler activity happens.

As far as I know, Bunny products are their own business units with their own goals and feature requests (Bunny Stream, in particular, lacks a lot of features) and the “block all requests after the bill becomes 50 EUR” ONLY exists for Bunny CDN, not for their other products.

The day Bunny starts treating all their products evenly (and listen to requests asking to implement basic features) will be the day I will switch all my nonprofit communities to their services.

If you see a directory for pictures, it means XDG directories are available in your system. Then you can change their location at will, and place them as deep in your user directory as you like. Like in `~/opt/art/visual/picture`.

My Nix Home Manager settings for XDG directories:

    xdg.userDirs = {
      enable = true;
      createDirectories = true;
      desktop = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/var/desktop";
      documents = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/opt/docs";
      download = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/var/download";
      music = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/opt/art/music";
      pictures = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/opt/art/visual/picture";
      publicShare = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/var/public";
      videos = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/opt/art/visual/video";
      templates = "${config.home.homeDirectory}/opt/templates";
    };

I don’t think you have understood the article enough. You can use Schema.org/FOAF/WikiData/etc. ontologies in HTML without JSON-LD and the script tags.

Anything is a step-up for Markdown, unless you include HTML in your Markdown. The base features of AsciiDoc (or Org-mode) are alike to Markdown in terms of simplicity (no typesetting).

> the main issue is that we lack a global '911'.

911 is for emergencies. I don’t think the global 911 service would give any attention to a LinkedIn scam.

Not sure about HTML, but you can use `<switch>` [1] in SVG and it will display localized text based on the `system’anguage` property.

Good point, thank you (and the other commenters)!

What about the fact it’s a US-based product so you’re under forced Five Eyes data collection?

Am I the only one who doesn’t trust Nextcloud because they use Vimeo instead of a privacy-respecting CDN to showcase videos of their project?

Your opinion reminds me of the narrative about cheaters in the speedrunning community. The cheaters say they cheat not because they feel superior, but because they feel “they could achieve good results if they put in the time”. They feel entitled to cheating.

I thought the unlabeled `<textarea>` was part of the prominent Cloudflare captcha that’s on the page. I sent intense swearing as a result. I’m sorry. But your UI could be made slightly better (by adding a label)!

Claude allegedly uses this RegEx to detect frustration:
