Back in the day I'd check how web crawlers viewed my HTML pages by using the Lynx text browser. Now I use pdftotext to check how Applicant Tracking Platforms view my PDF CV.

My most used note file is full of Podman (Docker) commands and tips.

There's something about container commands that never sticks in my memory. Throw in two OS's interacting with permission boundaries and SELinux and my mind starts to melt.

I love me a TUI resource monitor such as htop and nvtop, but I did miss Windows Task Manager. Well, now there's "Resources" for Gnome. It's has all the nice visual graphs I like and is written in Rust.

Whilst messing around with local LLMs I needed a quick way to grab the content of a webpage and convert it into Markdown. There's some great browser plugins and services, but I thought it'd be a good opportunity to learn some Deno.

The result is a TypeScript edge function that scrapes a URL, extracts the main text and converts it into lovely Markdown.

Might be useful to others too.

I've known about Preact Signals for a while but, I took the time to read the source code and I'm very impressed. Preact, and by extension Signals, feels a lot like backbone.js, clean, elegant and clearly written by people who understand the problem they're trying to solve.
