Mastodawn

One more dish towel is embroidered for a Mastodon friend.
Six to go.
I need to spend some time encouraging voters in Michigan by addressing personalized post cards to them. I will trade off between towels and cards in my spare time.
Two projects to work on while it is raining for the next few days.
I've gotten so much enjoyment stitching these towels and knowing that people are happy to receive them.

@britter I love this Advent of Donations idea! I'm doing something similar (on a much smaller scale because of being unemployed). Instead of gifts, I'm just asking for money to donate to open source projects I use!

🎄 Advent of Donations - Day 15 🎄

Today: Another piece of my keyboard driven terminal workflow. I'm sponsoring the zoxide project! zoxide keeps a list of all the places you've visited in the terminal and let's you jump to them without having to insert the full path of the directory.

Learn more about Advent of Donations and zoxide in my latest blog post update: https://britter.dev/blog/2025/12/01/advent-of-donations/#day-15---zoxide

@airadam I started reading this a week or two ago! Not super far into it, but I definitely understand now why its recommended so much!

Im always skeptical by "must read books" but I recommend it!

@Migueldeicaza
Update: I should read the comments first. 😅😆

reminds me of a similar situation someone had with AWS basically 0 human interaction or way to resolve the issue until someone deep in the company manually escalated it after reading/hearing about the blog post.

Hope the author gets it fixed because holy..... that's a fast way to lose loyal customers.

@alexhyett I love this idea. Would something like this be useful with like with a cloud subscription to prevent overcharges?

I always want to spin up an AWS sub for learning but the nightmare fuel of some people "getting the bill" even if they manage resources closely.

I just read an incredibly relatable post about craftsmanship and how its worth doing even if no one notices. I highly recommend the read!

The Invisible Developer: Why Caring Burns You Out

There's a particular exhaustion that comes from maintaining standards no one else seems to care about...
