Making a mini server cluster
I decided to get rid of my reliance on cloud subscriptions and services, so I decided to make a little server cluster ✨
my tiny & hyper specific computer: the typewriter
A few weeks ago I had ordered a few too many small SBCs ( single-board computer ). I was starting to struggle to use them all. I had waste, especially e-waste, so I wanted to put these little boards to good use. I also had a small desk in my living room that I wanted to use more for non-work related things like writing. My brain subconsciously did a 1+1 and I ended up with the idea to take on of…
i make €500+/month with a rust SaaS designed & written for resilience
All software ever, is just Excel with extra steps The worst part, is that no matter what company you work for, you’re essentially making Microsoft Excel with extra steps. What do I mean by that? Very simple, the foundation of any application is to take some data and do some kind of operation on it. We usually do this by having some code run on a computer, accessing a database and then operating on…
I LOVE RUST'S ERROR HANDLING 🦀✨
so i've had the chance to try out some Rust programming for a project i'm working on . first of all: it comes as no surprise that Rust is one of the most loved languages in most polls i come across. it's awesome and i love it. i've never been sceptical of Rust, so it's hardly been a conversion for me, but i've found low-level languages quite hard to understand.…
Making "Duifje", my helpful friend for sharing fun things
In this article I quickly go through some of the ideas, code and implementation of this little project to maybe inspire you to do something similar with your Notion setup. Where it all started I tend to write from time to time and a thing I really hate about having a website or a place to post my thoughts is the UI or the workflow I have to go through in order to post something. Most editors that…
Moving to zero- dollar and upkeep setup
I'm back from a quite long hiatus of my weekly blog posts. For now, I'll try to do them semi-regular again, maybe even on a monthly, bi-weekly or whenever-I-feel-like-it basis. Thank you if you've been waiting to read my new post (although I doubt it). Also, this article has a lot of personal backstory in the beginning, if you just want to know the "free" and useful part of this…
Dynamic GDDs with Notion & Godot
EDIT: This integration doesn't work anymore and I need to port it to the new API of Notion. I'll notify y'all by updating this post when it happens._Until then you can check out my latest project with Notion: Notion to Calendar 📆 Shortly after I start with a Game design document, I’m hit with the very sudden and scary realization that I need to upkeep the document as well. By…
Finding the right PaaS for k8s
EDIT: 👋 Hey there, this is quite an old article. Since I have found fly.io to be the one-stop-shop for all my PaaS related needs. Their free pricing tier is quite nice, the docs are thorough and their pricing scales quite nicely. Be sure to check them out! It starts off small, just trying to nudge the team into the direction of a new tech or small module in a project and before you know it,…
Introducing simple APIs with Neh
EDIT: So, I posted this article on HackerNews and the first thing people were kind enough to point out was that I could just use CGI. Good point! I'll take a look at that. However, I still had fun working on this side project, even if it ended up a small CGI clone in OpenResty! Thank you for reading! Everyone encounters a moment in which they're held back by a limitation of a certain…
