    Quietly started using core.forem.com as a dedicated space for questions/announcements/etc related to the open source project behind Forem.

    I say quietly because we're still not at a great place to entirely tend to feature requests in great volume, but inching in that direction for renewed elevation of the open source project. 🙂

    Yesterday I wasn't in a mood for creating a new article, but still made it. Started at 10:00 PM and finished at 3:30 AM.

    I'm sleep-deprived but totally worth it!

    I managed to fix a bug so stubborn that even ChatGPT was like:
    "Bro, this is beyond me… go light a candle or something!"
    But I didn’t give up — I made a cup of tea, came back, and boom — nailed it!

    I've finaly compiled script to cat both google ASN and facebook ASN - or ip ranges to a file - so I can easily whiteliste it for my nginx server

    # Temporary files
    TMP_GOOGLE=$(mktemp)
    TMP_FACEBOOK=$(mktemp)
    
    echo "Fetching Google IP ranges..."
    curl -s https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/goog.txt | grep -Eo '^[0-9a-fA-F.:/]+$' > "$TMP_GOOGLE"

    My win this week was taking the first big steps toward starting my own business! It's been both exciting and a bit overwhelming, but I’ve found some really helpful resources along the way. There’s one site in particular that made a big difference, and I’d be happy to share it if you’re interested. Here it is - designrush.com/It feels great to finally move from planning to action.
