This man is responsible for making gaming on linux what it is today. Such a heartfelt story to hear that reviving his dad’s machine was at the core of what drove him to do what he has done for the wider gaming on linux community. Update on your schedule, remove all the tracking and bloatware, this is what drove him to start using linux before making it accessible for his Dad.
But really do update, this is not your 2002 PHP box, things need updated and regular updates help the process.
Publishing rhythm
Today I learned that the docs in postiz are a bit behind, (fantastic docs btw, they are to the point, and cover almost all of what you need). The docs state that you need to include an R2 bucket to handle uploads.
This issue shows that more work has been done, one of which is local storage. The compose file they use in the quick start has the required env variables to set this up.
STORAGE_PROVIDER: "local"
UPLOAD_DIRECTORY: "/uploads"
NEXT_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY: "/uploads"
looking into my running instance I can see my images there.

we beat trailmakers
Today we broke through the atmosphere in trailmakers ready for pickup from
those back at mission conrol.
I haven’t posted a lot of gaming content to by blog, idk why, but I think I
am going to start, especially for the ones that are good memories with my
son.
Today we hit 100% of the required parts required to build the space ship and
leave the atmosphere of the planet that the story is set in. Trailmakers is a
game where you design and build your own vehicles. The campaign mode standed
is a story where you are in a high tech freighter ship that crash lands on a
distant planet. Your crew back home can come as far as the planet your on but
cannot break through the atmosphere. Your job is to collect all the wreckage
and gain all the parts required for a space ship build to take you out of the
atmosphere to meet them.

floating islands and is the cockpit fo the space ship.

Just tried using my twitter api key for the first time in quite awhile. Apps now need to be tied to projects in order to work. It looks like projects are where pricing comes into play. Thankfully they still give a free tier for doing small time things for myself. You can really see the effect that llms have on these things though as it is 5x more expensive to read posts than to make posts currently. Data is the new gold for these kind of companies.

Wild that the podman-compose github readme calls out k3s as an alternative.

compose definitely has its place, especially for local development on a developers machine, its so much easier to stand up and get things like hot reload up and running smooth.

Looks like a great start to a rules file for fastapi [2].
- Place the happy path last in the function for improved readability.
I have never heard anyone say this. It feels weird to me. The other early return, find and handle errors early all make sense to me, but happy path last is new to me.

Generate Custom .cursorrules for Your Project Based on Community Examples
expert led courses for front-end web developers and teams that want to level up through straightforward and concise lessons on the most useful tools available.
egghead · egghead.io [1]
Really interesting way to generate a rules file for agentic workflows based on your current repo. John uses gitingest here, looks like a fantastic tool, but probably not useful for most private repos. I’m sure you can replicate the same thing in a private repo wtih a small amount of effort the few times you need to do it. gitingest looks like a great way to pull in some extra context for some open source dependencies that you have though.

Definitely need to give codecompanion.nvim a try, it looks like a competitor to windsurf but in nvim. It looks so feature complete that its hard to grasp all of what it does.

First release of nvim-manager is out. Your dotfiles change a lot, sometimes it’s hard to manage all of the places you have installed them and potentially made hand edits to. nvim-manager allows you to easily make static releases of your dotfiles, and keep your nvim install from breaking by leveraging NVIM_APPNAME and pinned releases of your dotfiles stored in ~/.config. In this directory you might have many nvim configurations installed, nvim-manager automates the process of installing and updating from your dotfiles, while keeping previous pinned versions untouched.

Nice list of url escape codes. I did not actually know that to get a literal sequence like %2D you can use $2D.
