I searched for a way to collect some photos and rediscovered my #Pinterest account, where I was very active in the early 2010s. Over 2500 pins in total, most for web design. Love it! 😍

Web Wanderings is a series featuring websites: the very best sites from the Cloudhiker collection. 👀🤩

Currently replaying good old GTA IV.
Totally forgot how damn sad the story is.

Noooooo!!! The #Laravel docs are down due to the #Cloudflare outage. 😭

Valve announced a TV/desktop PC called Machine (https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steammachine), a new VR headset "Frame" (https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamframe) and a new Steam controller. Amazing. They keep doing just the right stuff! 🤯😍

Currently rewatching the original Gremlins and man… this movie is ABSOLUTE GOLD!!! 😄😍

@nilshoerrmann Thank you so much!!!

@Kovah I had the same problem and support told me to use the CLI:

gh api \
--method PUT \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
/notifications \
-F read=true

For two months or so I have an unread notification in Github for gitcoin-ventures/gitcoin.com. The repo does not exist, the notification is not visible. Seems like Github deleted the repo, but missed the notification it generated?

Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

40 years of Back to the Future, and today I had the chance to finally watch it in the cinema! 🤩

I recently put together a new #productivity system which helps me prioritize the #tasks for my personal projects: risk, effort, reward. Today, I wrote a blog article outlining how it works. Maybe it helps someone else too? 🚀

@dch @jbz Indeed! My last setup: self-hosting MinIO as a backup target for my servers, which then uploads the data to my NAS. Having everything off-site + a local version feels waaaay better.

⚡️ LinkAce 2.4.0 is now available. It contains a lot of fixes, improvements and security patches. Please updates as soon as possible.

After the newest fuckery from #MinIO, I tried #SeaweedFS and Garage, and then decided to just go with #Backblaze for my server backups, with local replication to my Synology NAS.

Sometimes, #selfhosting is the tedious, nerve-wrecking answer to a question, whose real solution is paying $0.5 a month. 🫠
