Weeknotes #8 (December 28, 2024)

Posted on: Dec 28, 2024

Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.

Things I worked on

Migrated my prune-containers GitHub Action into its own repo as rather than copy it over and over for cleaning up untagged images, I can just reference it from any new repo I want to use it in.
I wrote a tiny post about Fetch & Streaming in Nodejs.
Also published how I am using Tailscale HTTPS certs in my homelab.

The Ultimate MMO Tier List (Backed by SCIENCE) (sort of) by Josh Strife Hayes. Even though I've only personally played a few MMOs myself, it was a fun video and funny to see some games you likely wouldn't expect on this list.
I've started playing Unicorn Overlord by Vanillaware & Atlus. It is a tactics game from the creators of 13 Sentinels which I played a few years back and loved the sci-fi story. This game set in a medieval setting and I am enjoying it so far, and 4 hours in, the tactics mechanics really opens up. I didn't plan on doing Scratch programming in this game, but here I am anyway.
Netflix's Squid Game came back with a second season on the 26th. Really enjoyed the intensity of the first season, that said there are a good amount of times this season drags, but the show is wrapping up next year with season three, so we shall see how it concludes then.
