    Working with very large JSON files (20MB+) using online tools tends to be a crashy affair. Whether you're looking to format or search them, all the tools I found just crash. I found myself having to work with huge JSON files recently, so I built a tool specifically optimized for huge JSON files, ca [...]

    Anyone can generate an app now. You open Cursor, describe what you want, and out comes clean, well-formatted code. It even has comments. It runs, and the linter’s happy. You scroll through the code and think, “Yeah, this looks right.” So you pat yourself on the back. You built an app. Except you di [...]

    About twenty years ago I sold an experiential idea to a client that, I'll say with some boastfulness, was way ahead of its time. The idea was good and we executed it well and we worked our asses off making it happen. However, when it came time to promote the idea--so people could find it--the client [...]

    The journalist Karen Hao – who published an absolutely fantastic book about OpenAI called “Empire of AI” recently – coined (as far as I know) one of the best terms for describing modern “AI” systems: Everything Machines. “AI” systems are not framed as specific tools that solve specific problems in s [...]

    Can you believe it's been two years since osk status was properly redone to be a full-fledged status page? In case you can, and you've been annoyed at the lack of an API, you will be pleased to hear I have made a proper API for osk status, available today. In general, the purpose of the API is to m [...]

    We saw the recent news about Steam and Itch.io being forced to restrict legal adult content by Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.

    It’s been so long since we’ve had an update on the blog that people are often confused as to whether the project is still active. It definitely is! I’m just bad at updating the blog. Most of the updates have been going to the Matrix channel. So an update is long overdue. Most of the recent work has [...]

    I recently spotted a re-edition of a childhood favourite boardgame of mine on the shelves of a toy store. Finally, I didn’t buy it, fearing lack of interest on family side. Imagine my delight when I instead found this little indie game called Spediteur which does pretty much the same!

    Anubis uses a javascript-based challenge to stop scrapers from hammering your server. Installing it is easy enough but then you need to figure out how to configure it and it’s pretty intense.

    Out of the box PieFed has some pretty conservative settings, intended for small (less than 10 users) to medium (less than 200 active users) instances running on small servers where memory is constrained.
