Pacers31Colts18··on Chrome extensions spying on users' browsing data
I think the industry needs to rethink extensions in general. VSCode and browser extensions seem to have very little thorough review or thought into them. A lot of enterprises aren't managing them properly.

Pacers31Colts18··on Jeffgeerling.com has been migrated to Hugo
I ran Hugo when I launched my blog last year. I made 18 total posts. Probably 3/4 of those had issues when trying to publish due to issues with Hugo. Found it so frustrating.
Pacers31Colts18··on The Most Popular Blogs of Hacker News in 2025
I found Hugo to work well for the most part. Seemed everytime I went to publish id run into a new error if I wasn't consistent enough about posting. I moved over to Docusaurus for the new year and off of Hugo.

Thanks for the work you do, really inspirational honestly.

I've been getting Singapore traffic like crazy
Pacers31Colts18··on Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next?
Does that actually exist? I know there are reddit type clones, but I'm yet to see anything that allows me to setup a niche server and only that.
Pacers31Colts18··on How to get the most out of your 1:1s
I enjoy my 1:1s with my manager. It's pretty relaxed, open ended conversation. Recently she asked us all to just do a summary in OneNote of what we did for the week, so that kind of gives us things to talk about. Typically we talk about personal life, family things for about half of the meeting and work the other half.
Pacers31Colts18··on Twitter Announces Return to Office
Step 1....I'm assuming this is what's happening with my company too.

We announced April offices are back open.

Then returning everyone.

My guess is all back to normal by October.

Pacers31Colts18··on To stop building heat islands, stop overbuilding parking lots

I would do anything for my dogs, doesn't matter what it costs, I love both of them so much and can't imagine not having them in our family. They are family.
Pacers31Colts18··on A curated list of warez and piracy links
The big issue of sports streaming still remains. Sites popup every once in a while that have apps, etc (HeHeStreams, BallStreams) but then get taken down. It's hard to find a good sports streaming site that does the following:

1. Has TV apps 2. No ads 3. Reliable

I've been doing the Kodi route, but it's such a PIA with streams not working consistently.
