Not only does it look like a really fun game, but the trailer is excellent too. It shows a person playing the game, instead of telling about features, very nice!

Mastering Web Components: A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide

Learn step-by-step how Web Components work and how to use them. Including HTML templates, custom elements, shadow DOM, attributes, properties, and slots.

Maybe I’ll finally understand how to write them (even though I’ve written one before).

I recently switched my domains to porkbun, and they let me know that next month, the price of a .com domain will increase and they expect it to increase for the next several years.

Aparently, you can pay up front for up to 10 years for a .com domain, saving you from the price increase for a while.

I just did this and up until 2023 I don’t have to worry about pricing changes.

• Migrate from Bridgetown to Axum/Maud.

• Handle trailing slashes after the migration.

• Move .dev domain from Google to porkbun.

• Migrate DNS over to bunny.net, so I can use the apex domain to proxy to my odroid running at home.

• Add support for tables in the CMS.

• Add favicon and ability to package static assets into the binary.

• Integrate AppSignal monitoring through OpenTelemetry.

• And finally, I finished the China 2018 trip report.

Thanks to the OpenTelemetry endpoint and some Rust OpenTelemetry magic, I can now see where Axum spends its time on each request.

It was supposed to rain, but it didn't.

Finally adding the last things to the living room. Still waiting for one more item, before it's "done".

Temperatures have finally gone down a bit to a lovely 24 degrees. Combined with a light breeze, the weather is great for an evening walk.

An excellent article that takes an exising page and explains how to improve it with new CSS properties such as `inline-size`,`inset-line-end` and @layer.

From start to end. They have so. many. parts!

Slowly getting the hang of this Web Components thing. The idea is to replace the little Javascript I have with 3-2 web components, so I can render them in the front-end, and in my CMS, knowing everything looks the same.
