I did a ranty post on crazy Cloud costs and growth in usage of the major players, and the various feedback loops including what skills developers focus on.

I wrote up an example of using PgHero for helping with optimizing and monitoring of #postgres instances. It's not a pretty tool, but can be extremely useful for getting the most out of your hardware, be it #selfhost or #cloud .

Messing around with reverse engineering an old game, and learning how useful xxd and strings are as tools. 15 years on Windows and I didn't reach for these tools because it just wasn't an option without a lot of friction.

This is making reading random file types a lot less of a problem to deal with.. wish I had learnt this stuff a long time ago! #monogame #linux

Wanted to have a go at game dev tooling since its been a while. Tried Godot and just like Unity, I'm not a fan of heavy UI based tooling.

Then realised I hadn't yet built + run MonoGame locally since moving to Linux 😮 . Setup was a little rocky, but got it all working with Rider. Decided to do a little space 4X game as a goal 😀 .

Linux gaming has come such a long way. An old abandonware game was unplayable on Windows 10 worked great through Heroric Launcher via Proton. Also found a possible replacement for video editing on Linux so have zero use for Windows now. #linux #popos #startrek
