dschu··on September 2026: The world today, as seen by one Polish guy
This is classic whataboutism. Tethered caps and energy security aren't competing for the same budget or the same people. Nobody delayed a gas pipeline to write a cap regulation. You can think the caps are annoying (they are) and still see that they have nothing to do with a closed strait.
dschu··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
My post was clearly not against any platform rules. Yet it was flagged as such.
dschu··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
From an XML feed when it was Twitter to cease and desist notices, when the „free speech absolutist“ takes over.

Oh, the irony. And so many people still look up to this snake oil salesman

dschu··on US strikes $1.2B deal to pay German firm to halt offshore wind projects
Global warming is also killing wildlife. And by many magnitudes more than drilling some holes for offshore wind parks.
dschu··on Show HN: Monophobie, a shared ASCII canvas, never draw alone
A shared 256x256 ASCII grid. Pick a glyph, place it, it stays. Everyone's on the same canvas.

You get 32 tokens as a guest, one back every 5 min. So you can't draw much on your own - the thing only fills if people show up. That's the point, hence the name (monophobie = fear of being alone).

Always wanted my site to have a wall where people could leave me messages, and I've always loved r/place. So I started wondering what it'd take to build my own version. This is it.

Stack: TanStack Start + TanStack Virtual, had to virtualize the grid or it chokes on mobile. Postgres holds the canvas, Redis the token buckets, BullMQ for [what it actually does]. Better-Auth with optional passkeys, but guests draw right away, no signup.

Cheers, Julian

dschu··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
Nice gatekeeping. :-)
dschu··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
Yeah, 4 mins is currently the avg. build time for our TanStack app dockerized. The turbo part takes 30 sec with Vite 7
dschu··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
And yet it pays my bills for almost two decades.
dschu··on GitHub Actions is slowly killing engineering teams
`act` should help most teams reproducing CI locally.
dschu··on Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Square Enix Demand OpenAI to Stop Using Their IP
I guess it’s like

1) Download Ghibli film material from an arrrr site. Extract frames using ffmpeg. Pay someone $1 per week in Nigeria to add metadata for each (or some) frame(s).

2) ???

3) Profit

dschu··on Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will turn into a ‘metaverse’
Deleted my Facebook account along with Instagram early this year because of obvious reasons.

Won’t be a part of this metaverse and I’m very happy about that.

dschu··on Show HN: Unclack – a macOS app that mutes your microphone while you type
Have you used the internal mic?

I found out that if the phone is too far away, the voice would flagged as ‚background chatting‘ and therefore muted.

Once I connected a headset those issues went away.

dschu··on Show HN: Unclack – a macOS app that mutes your microphone while you type
Krisp uses ML to remove background noises like dog barking, crispy chips and such.

Comes with a subscription model for unlimited use though.

dschu··on Cyberpunk 2077 Refunds
I am about 15 hours in on a PS4 Pro and absolutely every side mission I played was bugged.

One is completely broken to the point where I can’t complete the quest because Johnny isn’t spawning.

And on top of that the Game crashes at least once per hour.

I do expect A LOT more when paying 70€ on a game. No, not RTX, but at least >20fps. The game is constantly hitching every N seconds.

Plus the PR was all about that stunning AI but it’s not there at all. Just compare the 48min E3 demo with actual gameplay.

dschu··on Apple Silicon M1: A Developer's Perspective
Yeah, but the MBA is doing all that with just 10W (15W burst), while your hackintosh most likely consumes 400W.

Not really comparable though.

dschu··on Metal monolith found by helicopter crew in Utah desert
Reminds me of the fifth element somehow
dschu··on Apple Silicon Mac Is About to Kill Web Apps
I think the author has a misconception of why most developers use electron instead of SwiftUI: The MS universe.

I’ve built my most recent app using electron because I could easily target both os‘es using the same code base.

This will not change with the M1 and Big Sur.

I would love to see Apple going all in with SwiftUI and implement Win10 support. But I doubt this will ever happen.

dschu··on Twitch streamers report DMCA takedowns for in-game sound effects
Except I have a friend who streams on regular basis and got his stream muted while playing songs from Twitch’s own streaming service. Wouldn’t recommend using that at the moment.

dschu··on German politicians targeted in mass data attack
Oh yeah, let's pretend like this is only the case in Germany.
dschu··on Why I left React for Vue
1. JSX puts HTML into JS, which gives you compile errors. While Vue puts JS into HTML again.. 2. Never use bind inside render functions.
dschu··on Safari is the new IE
Why not simply just div { height: 100vh } though? No overflow rules on the body needed
