I sped up my blog with this one simple (NextJS) trick..
I converted my old Jekyll based website to NextJS and I wrote a blog post on how I set it up to render all my old blog posts.
It was a bit more involved (and challenging) than expected. But it was fun.

Moving from Jekyll to NextJS
For over a decade I used Jekyll to power mikeheijmans.com and publish the occasional blog post. It turns out I'm pretty bad at consistently blogging and I always wanted my personal website to be more ...

I feel like @proton.me should be slinging deals hard right now. This coupled with the recent AI policy change, I'm sure many people around here would like alternatives. I'm certainly looking for them for my businesses that currently use G-Suite.. err workspace (whatever they're calling it now)
Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app.
This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.”

Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’
Some users are angry that some events have been removed.

This is pretty cool and all but it also has “jquery-lh” vibes to me. It would be a perfect place to hide a bit of malware. Not saying it does, but stuff like this gives me pause.

so this only happens when the firmware upload over OTA starts.. it ends up flashing fine.. but I can't figure out what is causing this. It only happens at the beginning and before the actual bits start streaming to the flash... once the stream is established its fine... perhaps a task preemption?

while pushing data over websockets,
while processing udp packets & btn presses,
while handling WiFi and SPI ethernet,
