Here’s the thing about the macOS menu bar: Apple gives you zero control over it. Your apps just pile in from the right, squeezing together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and you either live with it or you don’t. There’s no padding, no grouping, no breathing room. Just a wall of tiny icons staring […]

PDF operations are one of those recurring pain points that never fully go away. You need to fill a contract template, strip and rewrite document metadata before archiving, generate an invoice from an HTML template, and stamp every page with a branded header. The default answer is a SaaS API subscription that charges per document […]

Generating PDFs on a server is one of those tasks that sounds simple until you actually sit down to do it. HTML-to-PDF rendering drifts between browsers, LibreOffice headless mode is finicky to install, and most SaaS solutions charge per page once you hit volume. Gotenberg solves this cleanly: a single Docker container that bundles headless […]

I already wrote about FAQ schema in 2026 — short version: it’s still useful, just not the rich-snippet darling it once was. But that piece got a lot of follow-up questions like „okay, what about all the OTHER schema types?“ Fair question. Here’s the deal in 2026: Google quietly killed seven more schema types‘ rich […]

Here’s a problem every UI dev hits eventually. You’ve got a sticky nav, a floating chevron, a fixed-position button — something that sits on top of your page and doesn’t scroll with it. The page looks great. Then someone scrolls through a dark hero section into a white content area and suddenly your white chevron […]

FFmpeg is the swiss-army knife of media processing, but wiring it into a web application is rarely fun. You either install the binary on every worker, juggle temp directories, sanitise shell arguments, and hope nothing escapes your wrapper – or you reach for a heavy SaaS service and pay per minute of video. Aureum-Cloud/FFmpeg-API takes […]

Font licensing is wild. Proxima Nova — one of the most-used typefaces on the entire web — will run you $65 per style, and a full family license easily clears $300. Futura? Brandon Grotesque? Circular (yes, Spotify’s font)? We’re talking hundreds of dollars before you’ve typed a single character. For personal projects, indie dev work, […]

So you want to set up email on a subdomain. Maybe you’re trying to route support@help.yourdomain.com to your helpdesk, or you want newsletters@mail.yourdomain.com to run through your ESP without torching your main domain’s reputation. Whatever the reason, you’ve landed on the right page. MX records for subdomains are one of those DNS topics that seem […]

If you have ever embedded an audio player on a podcast site, a music portfolio, or a media archive, you have probably noticed that pretty rendered waveform behind the playhead. Libraries like Wavesurfer.js and Peaks.js can draw those visuals on the client, but decoding a 60-minute MP3 in the browser is slow, memory-hungry, and unreliable […]

Here’s a question that’s been bouncing around dev Slacks and SEO Twitter for the past year: should you bother serving Markdown to AI agents and crawlers? Is it actually worth the effort, or is it just another shiny standard that’ll quietly die like so many before it? Short answer? Yeah, it’s worth doing. The longer […]

Managing multiple social media accounts is exhausting. Between juggling different platforms, scheduling posts at optimal times, and keeping up with analytics, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Commercial tools like Buffer and Hootsuite work well but come with hefty subscription fees and feature limitations. Enter Postiz – an open-source, self-hosted social media scheduling platform that puts […]

Your server is being probed right now. Not maybe — definitely. Every public-facing IP on the internet gets hit by automated scanners, brute-force bots, and malware C2 callbacks within minutes of going live. The attackers aren’t targeting you specifically — they’re running scripts that sweep the entire IPv4 space on a loop, and your server […]

Updated: 03/2026 When I first put together the open-source KPI roundup back in October 2025, the landscape was already impressive. Fast forward to early 2026 and things have moved fast — we’re talking major version releases, AI features landing in free tiers, and a couple of genuinely exciting new tools that deserve a spot on […]

A lot has evolved since I shared my top Docker picks in 2025. I’ve streamlined the whole setup, cut the noise, and focused on what I actually use — locally and externally. Better organised, better documented, and somehow more enjoyable than ever. Could not stick to 10, so its 10++++! Why Self-Host with Docker in […]

Spam hasn’t gone anywhere. Keep coming back to it, as I hate cleaning up my INBOX and so do my clients! In fact, AI-generated spam has made the problem noticeably worse through 2025 and into 2026 — it’s more convincing, passes basic heuristic checks that would’ve flagged template spam instantly, and arrives in higher volumes. […]

Quick Answer: Modern developers have a rich ecosystem of dummy data tools — from classic Lorem Ipsum text generators and Lorem Picsum image placeholders to powerful libraries like @faker-js/faker and Falso, plus self-hosted Docker mock API servers like Mockoon, Smocker, and JSON Server. Let’s be honest — every developer has been there. You’re building a […]

We’re already heading into month three, and I still haven’t posted an update — make of that what you will. January and February tend to be slow months business-wise, which usually means juggling a lot of smaller tasks in parallel. It can get stressful, since staying organized across multiple threads takes real discipline. Ready for […]

AI-generated phishing campaigns, snowshoe spam, and compromised accounts blasting garbage have made 2026 a genuinely rough time for inboxes — and every production mail environment needs a solid filtering layer to survive it. In 2026, the best open source options all run in Docker. This guide covers every major open source anti-spam solution with a […]

Want to create stunning 360° virtual tours without dropping hundreds on commercial software like Ipanorama 360? You’re in luck! The open-source JavaScript ecosystem has some seriously impressive options that’ll make your virtual tours look professional without costing a dime. Whether you’re building real estate walkthroughs, museum exhibitions, hotel showcases, or just want to display immersive […]

So here’s the thing — I stream with portrait NDI sources on a landscape canvas, and zooming in on a specific part of the frame in real time has always been a pain. You either bake it into the scene or do awkward hotkey gymnastics. I wanted something more live, more intuitive, more point-and-shoot. So […]
