This blog is hosted on a Nintendo Wii

blog.infected.systems/posts/2025-04-21-this-blog-is-hosted-on-a-nintendo-wii

Using NetBSD and proxied by a Caddy installation somewhere else. No caching. Works well for some reason. A cheap VPS is still cheaper than what the author pays for electricity for this setup though, despite them saying otherwise.

Hixie's Natural Log: When complaints are a good sign

ln.hixie.ch?start=1735173692&count=1

These choices are trade-offs. If you want to write a quiet song, it won't be loud. If you are writing a software tool and you want to prioritize speed over simplicity, then it won't be as simple as if you'd prioritized simplicity over speed.

There are two main signs that you've succeeded at your goals. The first, and more pleasant, is that you get compliments about how your thing is like you wanted it to be. "I love that song, it's so quiet!" "Your tool is so fast!" Why thank you, that's exactly what I was going for.

The second sign, though, is that you will get complaints. Specifically, people will complain that your thing does not achieve the things you didn't set out to achieve. "I wish this song was louder", "this tool is so hard to use". That you are receiving complaints at all means that people are aware of your creation; that they are complaining about what you specifically set out to make a non-goal is a side-effect of the fact that you made that trade-off.

Introducing Pkl, a programming language for configuration :: Pkl Docs

pkl-lang.org/blog/introducing-pkl.html

Apple released a language for configs. It's well-designed, take a look. Has Go bindings. I would've considered it if I needed a config language.

Cartographist is an ‘experimental web browser optimized for rabbit-holing’ notable for its paned user interface. It is written in Node JS. I haven't tried it out yet.

See also blog announcement. The development seems stalled.
