Qt 6.10 Released 10 months ago

With the insane licensing costs, I fail to see how this is still a viable choice for personal / small projects. Also, for larger projects, assuming you can afford the costs, the reality is that it's really hard to find decent Qt developers.

It appears to have a fatal flaw: you can't actually save and restore your data, just export it to PNG.

Just Use HTML 10 months ago

This article is an oversimplification describing basic forms, but as soon as you try to implement any sort of advanced validation using just HTML, the whole paradigm falls apart. Browsers support JavaScript for a reason.

I primarily use Logseq because I've found that outliners best align with my mental model. I mainly take notes within my daily journal. When I encounter something worth saving, I simply create a new entry. A typical day looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/wAiYgSY.png

To categorize the information, I simply link the entry to a specific page. For example, if I discover an interesting React library, I create a new entry like this: https://i.imgur.com/dDlStkZ.png

A great feature is that Logseq understands page hierarchies, so if I click on [[Dev/JS]], it presents a clear hierarchical overview: https://i.imgur.com/z9hGmmh.png

Using this approach, I've stopped bookmarking sites in my browser altogether. In Logseq, I can connect useful things to each other, add entire notes, and more, as shown here: https://i.imgur.com/Krld2cS.png

If I want to remember something, I just add a #card tag to the block, and it automatically syncs with Anki via a plugin.

I recently deployed Postgres on a dedicated Hetzner EX-44 server (20 cores, 64GB RAM, 2x 512GB NVMe SSDs in RAID 1) for €39/month. The price-to-performance ratio is exceptional, providing enterprise-level capacity at a fraction of typical cloud costs.

For security, I implemented TailScale which adds only ~5ms of latency while completely eliminating public network exposure - a worthwhile tradeoff for the significant security benefits.

My optimization approach includes:

- Workload-specific configuration generated via PGTune (https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/)

- Real-time performance monitoring with PgHero for identifying bottlenecks

- Automated VACUUM ANALYZE operations scheduled via pgcron targeting write-heavy tables, which prevents performance degradation and helps me sleep soundly

- A custom CLI utility I built for ZSTD-compressed backups that achieves impressive compression ratios while maintaining high throughput, with automatic S3 uploading: https://github.com/overflowy/pgbackup

This setup has been remarkably stable and performant, handling our workloads with substantial headroom for growth.
