I love when you're investigating a bug and the question "why is this broken!?" turns into "why did this ever work?!?"

Been there more times than I'd care to admit 😂

Googlers should be required to develop their apps on 5 year old computers with a network connection capped at 1mbps with 100ms latency. On this flight today I've tried to use Gmail, Google Flights, and Adsense, and they are either ridiculously slow or just don't work.

I'm not opposed to this view. Actually kind of looking forward to spending the day getting some work done on this plane.

There’s this phenomenon I like to call VPB: Valley Pattern Blindness. It’s when a tech startup forgets every QA case for their product / feature outside temperate weather in a wealthy, internet-connected urban area, and nobody in the QA / development process catches them either.

I wanted to take some notes on the airplane so I pulled up Notion but it wouldn’t load because of lack of internet. This stuff kills me, it’s not acceptable

I really like @NotionHQ but it logs me out of the desktop and iOS apps far too often and then won't work until I get internet again and it's really just unfortunate.

Amazing how well that 13-year old take has held up 😍. Not only does offline matter even less now than it did, the technology to do it is finally almost trivial (service workers). Glad we never wasted time on attempting it before that!

If the tech is trivial, why do so many apps fail to do it properly?

Kittybox Companion for Android is now open-source! https://gitlab.com/vikanezrimaya/kittybox-android

It’s really rough, lacks IndieAuth (for now), can’t load Microsub posts beyond first page, the pictures are small (I need to make a popup overlay to enlarge them), and Micropub attachments are utterly broken. But otherwise it works for me!

Okay this is pretty cool. Thanks to the magic of Wireguard, I now have bidirectional connectivity between my home network and this remote server rack! Devices on either side don't need to run wireguard and don't need any special configuration, and can reach hosts on both sides. I haven't found any documentation on configuring this, so I'm going to have to write this up soon! Shoutout to @mitch for figuring out the missing piece to make this work!

Sometimes I forget that I'm a musician. Writing & performing live soundtracks at conferences was the way I got in for free so I could get to know many of the folks I collaborate with now. There's a metric ton of music I wrote & performed between 2014–2017, but have yet to record.
