In case you missed it, I have a new article out. It's about how to get smooth edge discs with CSS radial gradients. No blurry edges or jaggies even when zooming. Check it out, you might learn something new!

Ich hab mich jetzt für mein Lizenzsystem an #LicenseGateIO bedient. Ziemlich simpel aufgebaut, und auch Selfhost fähig. Die Lizenzabfrage habe ich auch schon in mein System eingebaut. #coding #dev

(The more choice, the better. They probably won't really be suitable as daily drivers anytime soon (not even BSDs are for the majority of people) but maybe will get there once.)
Irgendwie hab ich Bock, meine großen Projekte, mit einem Lizenzsystem (ggf. LicenseGate) auszustatten. Aktuell habe ich ein Song Request System für einen DJ entwickelt. Evtl. poste ich später mal ein paar Screenshots.
My most successful* repo so far: https://github.com/nekromoff/kde-migrant
* based on the number of stars

Finally getting around to porting the rewrite of my flashcard app to iOS from Mac and it's going smoothly since the data model and main biz logic is not really tied to the UI.
It's obvious in retrospect, but when I'm working on this project, I don't really think about how the "app" itself is the core non-UI guts of it all. The UI, although obviously important, is just a view into that. #dev
YAARRGH!

Shaun Thomas just released a new #PostgreSQL extension that increases max_wal_size if there are too many forced checkpoints over checkpoint_timeout. As per his description, it's "like having a tiny DBA as an extension"
Base max_wal_size on system activity rather than a randomly selected number. Achieve better database performance for high write loads. All with the power of #OpenSource
Also, does anyone have any opinions on Codeberg? I've heard bad things about GitLab but heard a recommendation for Codeberg in the same breath.

I have both a love for Go (somewhat portable, smallish binaries, relatively performant), and an absolute hatred for the language due to the syntax, package managment, documentation style, and the fact it has TWO DIFFERENT NULLS...
"Go is still not good" by Thomas Habets has a great simple, minimal, example as for why Go is just not good to irrationally reason with all day.

On the whole? It's a subpar decent-enough performant and batteries-included language that has so many idiotic decisions built up that it warps your brain into thinking "ah, it doesnt work, should, but doesnt, how can I fuck it up enough to work" and guess what? then it will work. The syntax and declaration handlers is just off-kilter enough to be useable, but full of compounding annoyances that makes me not want to open a project after starting it.

Today I learned that regular expressions have a size limit and you get a “regular expression too large” error if you go over it.
Still trying to find some definitive documentation on what that size limit is in v8/latest Node.js.
