Mypy and Python static typing just allowed me to do a tricky refactor at 4 am, half-asleep, mostly without thinking. I love it.

I must be the only person who wants to get an mRNA vaccine instead of AZ because the tech is cooler.

I needed a way to easily deploy Dockerized applications to my home server so I made one:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

Takes a bunch of repos containing Compose apps and automatically manages and keeps them updated.

Decided to write some Rust. Five hours later, I'm still no closer to using a library to do a "git pull" on a repository.

Unfortunately I'm finding it very hard to justify spending this much time for something that's one line in other languages...

I'm building a utility that will take a repo with multiple docker-compose files and run them, automatically updating them whenever you push. It'll mount the data directory of each app under a single directory, for easy backups.

Before I build too far, does sthg like it exist?

Paul Graham telling people to start a company to get rich is like the "ten ways to make lots of money" self-help books that don't contain "find enough suckers to buy your self-help book" as a way.

I think you missed an opportunity in naming your piano software FrereJacques, @jmattheij@twitter.com. It looks great!

Quandary.

I'm very excited about @Cloudflare@twitter.com pages, it looks great! Unfortunately, I can't use it because it doesn't support GitLab repos. Any plans to?

And on the 200th anniversary of the Greek independence, a big "thank you" to Haiti, the first country to support the revolution:

Did you know that the French king in the 1700s sent a priest to destroy all the ancient monuments of Sparta?

Neither did I.

Review: If you're thinking of getting COVID, don't. Absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
