Welcome to my digital garden – a space dedicated to exploring technology and sharing what I’ve been learning. This site reflects my passion for continuous learning and open-source software, wherein I document my journey, offer insights, and dive into miscellaneous topics that reflect my interest. My goal is to maintain a corner of the Web for self-expression focused on valuable, distraction-free content. I believe in the power of the Open Web as a platform for sharing knowledge.

[…] Turn Dictation on or off On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

TIL via Victor Kropp: The light-dark() CSS function is a modern replacement for the prefers-color-scheme media feature query. As usual lately, the almighty Amp did all the heavy lifting to modernize this blog. One-shot prompting is still imperfect, even with Opus 4.5. I still find myself needing to follow-up a...
Clear /tmp at reboot on Alpine Linux via Chimo: By default, Alpine Linux doesn’t (completely) clear the /tmp directory on reboot (unless you mount it as tmpfs). If you would like to enable this feature, change “wipe_tmp” to “YES” […] My current config: ❯ cat /etc/conf.d/bootmisc # List of /tmp directories we should...
I got a Slack message the other week, just “What do you think?” with a link to a Notion document. No context or indication of what this person actually believed. Just a link and a question mark. I stared at it for a minute, trying to decide if I was annoyed or just tired (both, probably). What’s this message is...

Problem statement: approve a given github pull request from the CLI. Why? Presumably you would do the PR review outside the GitHub web UI (it’s slow, eh?). How to do this is out of scope of this post. Let’s assume the review is done, and all that is left is to approve the PR. Let’s also assume you have a local...
Thiago: now that your PR is merged, you can just apply it Teammate: ah never did that, what would I need to do? Thiago: just apply github-{corp}-ai-resources1 I love these accidental word puns (ft. just). In this context, just apply is a wrapper of terraform apply. ↩︎ — § —Reply via email#dev #terraform #serenity
I’ve been using miniflux for ages. And yet I never bothered to customize it much. Its vanilla settings are great out-of-the-box – as it should be! That said, it’s quite straightforward to add custom CSS to miniflux. I found two themes that are visually appealing: solarized catppuccin latte Copy the CSS snippet, go...
Previously. Problem statement: add to starship the GitHub PR associated with the current git branch. The following starship custom module does the trick: [custom.github_pr] command = "bkt --ttl=10m --scope=\"$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel):$(git branch --show-current)\" -- gh pr view --json number --jq '\"#\" +...

Recently I had to opportunity to watch this classic during a flight. It’s such a great movie1. It was the second time I watched it. The first one was during my teenage years, probably around 15-16. Many years later, with a few bits of wisdom and experience by the means of romances, heartbreaks, and situationships,...
