Trying to get a tabletop RPG group together is like herding cats. I'm trying to put together a game online, I had 3 players drop out over the last 2 weeks before we could even begin. 1 of them had IRL stuff come up so of course I understand, but 2 of them just blocked and ghosted me. Honestly undermines your confidence, like "Am I doing something wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" I'm so grateful for the players who stayed and who encourage me.

I built a little public API where you can get random words, IDs, or numbers! https://rnd.bgenc.dev/

This was a cool opportunity to learn #GoLang, it's using #GoFiber in the backend. The website demo UI uses #Preact with #TailwindCSS and #DaisyUI, built with #Vite, all deployed via #Kamal & #Tailscale.

I'm not sure that I'm in love with Go, but I can't say it's not productive. Preact is awesome and I am now obsessed with Preact signals.

What’s everyone’s preferred method for deploying containers to your own servers? I usually just write a docker-compose file, ssh over and deploy that manually. But I’m wondering how I might automate this with CI. #Ansible? Switch to #Kubernetes, or #Terraform? I have experience with AWS #CDK and I really liked it, but I don’t want to deploy to AWS or any other cloud.

Just figured out this mystery: #Docker bypasses #UFW because it sets up its routing rules before UFW. I don’t think this was in their docs when I was dealing with this, it is now at least.

I hadn’t touched #Python in forever, getting back into it now for my new job and wow, I forgot how elegant python is. On the other hand, also wow that #VSCode’s python support still isn’t great. I should try #PyCharm again.

Yes I finally snagged the bgenc.com domain! Someone had been just sitting on it for the last few years but they didn’t renew. I had to use .net instead. Also grabbed .dev for good measure.

I'm so proud of this! I made microfern, a simple #javascript string templating library, inspired partly by nunjucks and partly by bash. It's extensible, and comes with some built-in functions and pretty extensive documentation. I added interactive examples in the documentation too!

I've been on a huge coding kick lately, and having tons of fun just building stuff. This was a bit of a distraction from something else I was working on, but I had a ton of fun with it.

It seems like there are myths around relational databases that contribute to the idea that they are slow. I saw one person just now who thought that a basic transaction reading from a table would lock the entire table and block everything else from accessing the table.

Relational databases are more efficient than that! Transactions can be isolated without blocking.

This sourdough starter I began last week is starting to smell amazing, it smells like yoghurt. I can't wait to bake with this.

Oh and I've been making an open source mobile app to track the feedings of this starter. I decided to go with React Native and Expo. I'll post about it once the app is ready.

With and without input shaping on my 3D printer. It makes a massive difference in being able to print at high speed. Cut my draft prints from like 6 hours to 2 hours.
Installing Klipper was pretty easy, the calibration took a bit of time but it was worth it.

So if I want to make a simple cross-platform mobile app, what's a good option? I have tried #ReactNative before and it's fine, but I'm wondering what else is out there. How is #Flutter? Is #Tauri for mobile useable? This is mostly for fun so I'm up for experimenting a bit.

OMG I'm so proud of my wife. Last night while I was sleeping she figured out how to use OpenSCAD to render and export a customizable model, then figured out Cura to slice the model, and loaded the filament and printed the model.
