This is amazing.
I didn’t even realize this way the same guy who did one million checkboxes until I went back to his main site.
That project in itself, has some amazing stuff to read about itself.
Access historical versions of U.S. government websites from before January 20, 2025 with a simple URL change.
Lovely URL hacks like this are what keep me sane linking other people to the bird site.
Great we live in a timeline this also now has to be done for the American government as well.
Its like the entire “Thanks Obama” meme, now its “Thanks Elon”, and much much much much much much much worse!
NASA is going to do a Twitch stream from the ISS

OBS on the moon when.
lychee - ⚡ Fast, async, stream-based link checker written in Rust
I was looking into how Eva Decker is using Astro DB on her site, which is thankfully open source, and I notice a file name called .lychee.toml.
Recently, I have found some Hi-Chew in the international section of my local super market, in which Lychee was a flavour, so seeing .lychee.toml sparked joy, I had to go see what it was.
Turns out, it is a tool for finding dead links! This was something that I was concerned about, as someone who hates link rot, so having a dedicated tool to quickly check for link rot is great.
Even with no configuration file of my own, running lychee . in the root of my repo works well!
Great tool, thanks again to great website inspo from Eva!
Asdf Has Been Re-Written in Golang
I always respected asdf for being written in pure bash, from a simplicity perspective, but this makes sense.
Go is great for a tool like asdf, especially when CGO_ENABLED=0-ing a binary that works on basically everything.
Its no αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε though.
Last.fm has an API, its pretty good, and easy to get an API key for it.
/ now has a ‘currently listening’ display, powered by said API, and also htmx!
