Hi there! I'm Andri, a computer engineer from Iceland, living in Denmark with my wife and son.

I've been fascinated with computers since I remember, and am passionate to learn as much as I can.

I work as a Lead front-end engineer. In my free-time I'm building @eventpuffin.com.

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto

The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.

My love of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is overshadowed by Sky Showtime's insisting on showing my the same horrible trailer before each episode.

It's also not possible to skip it, or talk to their support about it. So, cancelling the subscription is my only move here.

Spent the whole workday working with YAML in Ansible, Kubernetes and GitHub workflows.

Now it's the evening and I'mt trying to program our curtains in HomeAssistant. With... yes you guessed it more YAML!

Impressions of the Remix 3 demo:

- Browser events 👍
- Explicit way of rendering JSX 👍
- Their drum-machine 👍
- Another router and JS backend framework 🤷‍♂️
- No Signals for automatic rendering 😬

Everybody likes to hate on DNS.

Everybody also likes to setup all of their authoritative DNS servers on a single network. Then blame their centralized setup of a distributed protocol.

What else should we use? Blockchain? 😅

Fuldstændig enig. Det underminer vores støtte ved Ukraine og hjælper Russerne at blive ved

Det kan jeg forstille mig at er lidt svært på stående fod 😅

Programmers often look down on shell-scripting and say it's "not real programming".

But, I can't tell you how many times knowing it has saved my bacon.

Bash is everywhere; and shipping a runtime + libraries is not always feasible.

I love the game-like demos of #datastar, I've seen so far. But has anyone tried creating something boring with it?

Like Rails/Cake/Django with boring ass CRUD pages; with a notable exception of something dynamic?

That's where jQuery failed us and React was overkill. Is there a middle-ground?

Andri Óskarsson @andri.dk · 2d

You're gonna need a big poster!

That thing is way more dense, than I thought it would be

Andri Óskarsson @andri.dk · 2d

That sounds like a weird behaviour to me adds weight to the div-all-the-things movement.

In HTML5; where would you put header/footer elements?

I thought I was too old to get excited about protocols, but this atproto discussion from @danabra.mov delivers:

This is big. This kind of computing can and probably will change the balance of power in AI, and the larger world over the next decade.

I think the video topic is very interesting. But, I found it very difficult to follow with all the self-promotion, irrelevant memes and fast-talking.

What I eventually extracted, was bitnet-b1 is cool and we can run these tiny models without using all the water

Has anyone the Jolla C2 phone? I had the Nokia N9 and the original Jolla phone and quite liked it.

The pavement unfortunately took the life of my old Jolla device years ago. But, I'm considering it for my next device.
