When you try to debug a crash with the help of a debugger, a dozen stack traces and code analysis tools, but just can't find the bug...

...and then start applying logic & common sense and discover the cause within 10 minutes.

Warning: If you don't schedule time for maintenance, your equipment will schedule it for you.

Maybe I just have the wrong definition of accessibility.

To me IRC is far more accessible than any of the proprietary services, because it's an open protocol. It allows me to pick the client that is most accessible _to me_.

And your needs may be different than mine.

Don't want users having to install their own client? Host a matrix/thelounge like service, which gives you the best of both worlds.

You can use your own client or this service then. How does it get any more accessible than that?

Mozilla is shutting down their IRC servers and moving to Discord, a proprietary chat service.

Hey Mozilla, aren't we forgetting something here? Our very own "Mozilla Pledge for a Healthy Internet” states:

> Principle 2 The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.

> Principle 6 The effectiveness of the internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.

If you're a #golang developer & regularly release your stuff, I highly recommend checking out goreleaser:

- it tags your releases
- generates a changelog
- cross-compiles release builds for various platforms and architectures
- pushes everything to GitHub

It's thoroughly good!

If you've enjoyed my little Go crash course and think it may help others getting to know the language as well, here's also a reddit post for it. Spread the word with me 😊

Happy 30th Birthday, Intel 80486!

This is the 33MHz CPU I've used for my first own PC build, and at some point in the near future I'd love to try and rebuild that machine from spare parts.

Can't wait to see you boot up just once more, my old friend!

There should be a place with over-sized couches, tables and chairs, where adults can go and play "The Floor is Lava" together.

I can't be the only one who's missing this game?
