CAPTCHA Sucks and it’s Not Accessible
by
Over 13 years ago I first addressed my dislike of the CAPTCHA. Back then I said that I disliked CAPTCHA to combat spam because spam isn’t the users problem. They’re not getting a bunch of your form submissions sent to them. They don’t care about your problem. The bad part of CAPTCHA is that it…

Add Synology Share to NixOS
by
While it’s not all that hard to do, it did take me a bit of digging to figure out how to add my Synology to nixOS. The first thing that tripped me up was a simply mind trick where I didn’t really clue into the fact that I was looking to add a Samba share…
