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.

Store Code Discussions in Git using Git Notes

wouterj.nl/2024/08/git-notes

Code discussions contain relevant information. Isn’t it a shame that we
keep these in the centralized GitHub/GitLab servers, far away from our
decentralized Git code? As soon as we move provider, we’ll lose all old
discussions! And how do you ever find the pull requests back from 5
years ago? Symfony has implemented a lightweight solution to this problem
years ago using a less-known feature of Git: Git Notes.

«В карантин нагрузка выросла в 5 раз, но мы были готовы». Как Lingualeo переехал на PostgreSQL с 23 млн юзеров / Хабр

habr.com/ru/companies/lingualeo/articles/515530

ЛингваЛео переписали свой бэкенд с ПХП и Мюсиквель на Постгрес. Это всё. Логика на хранимых процедурах... Звучит дико, а так-то вообще-то в Постгресе есть свой крутой процедурный язык.

Утверждают, что кода стало во много раз меньше, новый код стал легко писаться, всё стало быстрее на пару порядков, и гораздо дешевле.

Интересно

Better HTTP server routing in Go 1.22 - Eli Bendersky's website

eli.thegreenplace.net/2023/better-http-server-routing-in-go-122

The fish told me of this cool new feature. In short,

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("GET /path/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprint(w, "got path\n")
  })

  mux.HandleFunc("/task/{id}/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    id := r.PathValue("id")
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "handling task with id=%v\n", id)
  })

  http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8090", mux)
}

Handy!

My Favourite Computer, An Old Mac

muezza.ca/thoughts/favourite_computer

This Mac is uncharging in a world where things change by the minute. It will never receive another software update and is thoroughly obsolete, but it's comforting to have something that you know will stay the same forever, remaining in a known state every time you return to it.

Thinking about switching away from Oddmuse

alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2023-07-11_Thinking_about_switching_away_from_Oddmuse

Alex Schroeder, one of wiki legends (he created OddMuse), thinks about moving away from OddMuse for his website and moving to a static site! What he needs, is a different wiki engine, though. A single user wiki engine is not a wiki engine really though.

But I've been thinking about that too to be honest. Trust brings problems. Accounts bring problems. Betula works fine being single user. Would the same work for Mycorrhiza? Most installations are single user after all. We're living in the age of individual+personal websites.

Unit Test Fetish

250bpm.com/blog:40

Unit tests are not a panacea. End-to-end tests are often much more useful. Some things cannot be tested at all. Think before testing.

UPD 2025. The author migrated to some weird proprietary blogging platform and broke the link. Why?
