I added an "infinite" mode for wordseq. Now you're not limited to three puzzles a day!

Try out my game, wordseq, where you try to find the longest sequence of words by swapping two letters at a time. Every move must make a new word. Can you find all the words hidden in this grid?

I recently had a lunch/movie date with my wife and went to an Indian restaurant at a nearby mall because that's where the movie was being shown. The restaurant is called "Nameste" located in the Fisketorvet mall and the food was amazing. We also sat next to the window overlooking the harbor and were amazed at how wonderful our city looks.

@sudorandom Your BUF cli branch display the same readme as the official branch. it would be a good idea to update the read me and add steps on how to build from your source.

@rohanrehman @sudorandom That's a good point. I don't plan on maintaining this fork. In fact, the PR that I made is merged, so if you get the version of buf released a few days ago you can start using HTTP/3 with gRPC-Web and Connect. Vanilla gRPC support will come once quic-go does a release

Release v1.38.0 · bufbuild/buf

Add --http3 flag to buf curl which forces buf curl to use HTTP/3 as the transport. Fix issue with directory inputs for v2 workspaces where the specified directory was not itself a path to a module,...
