Link List

Wel­come to my link library. These are not links to con­tent I have cre­at­ed unless you see that men­tioned in the link’s descrip­tion. These are links I found inter­est­ing enough to want to keep track of. If you read Craft Link List, the Craft CMS newslet­ter I used to write, this page is a replace­ment of sorts for that exer­cise. Enough talk. Let’s hit the links.

Setting up DevTools for Performance Testing

Devel­op­er tool­ing with­in browsers is more pow­er­ful than ever, but this brings its own prob­lems: there’s just so much! How does it all work? Which bits do I need? What does this even do?

I bought and took this course. High­ly rec­om­mend­ed!

ZimaBoard - World's First Hackable Single Board Server

ZimaBoard is the world’s first hack­able sin­gle-board serv­er. It is a hybrid of a micro serv­er and SBC (sin­gle board com­put­er) designed for build­ing a low-cost NAS, media serv­er, and soft­ware router as your home automa­tion and enter­tain­ment cen­ter. I ordered one on Oct 11, 2022 based on Secu­ri­ty Now 892 where Steve Gib­son men­tioned that this is how he works on Spin Rite and that it is the per­fect small board to run Spin Rite on.

A Real World React -> htmx Port

The htmx​.org Twit­ter account men­tioned referred to this post as Moth­er of all htmx demos for con­vert­ing the hea­thens, rather than its offi­cial title, Mov­ing From React to htmx. The unof­fi­cial title is much bet­ter! The post links to a 26-minute video from Djan­go­Con Europe by Davie Guil­lot. There is also a slid­edeck if you want a quick fix.
