@epiczahid47 Blood money is the GOAT.

[ahanaf @ahanafdotcom]

Maybe I’m in the minority, but Hitman Absolution was a great game. I absolutely enjoyed it from start to finish and ended up completing it in just 2 sittings.

@epiczahid47 Fair enough. I've played Hitman Blood Money and the games before it as well, so I get the comparison.

Even in 2026, building a YouTube downloader that actually works on a website is much harder than I expected. Nothing works reliably without cookies anymore.

If you're not making much money, in most cases you are the only reason for it.

People love to believe that one day their life will magically change. It won't.

Without increasing your output, doing the uncomfortable things results will never come.

@ravikiran_dev7 Such a ragebait post!

Still on a 2015 Intel MacBook Pro in 2026. So this is what happens in every few months:

• Mac gets slow
• I reinstall macOS
• Promise myself this is the last time doing a reinstall
• Start coding again
• Repeat
Manifesting a new MacBook before 2027.

@AlexTheGoodman Happy for you.

So far, @Cloudflare has been my favorite company while building solo products.

It's one of those rare platforms that keeps giving more than it takes.

Hope it never disappoints.

My dumbphone which I am using for years

[Nathan Covey @nathan_covey]

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

Finally migrated to R2.

Too painful to move the server between providers, setting up all again from scratch, from rendering pipeline to storage, all because of the AWS verification horror mostly.

[ahanaf @ahanafdotcom]

Storage migration journey of https://t.co/wjH4Pgj2lw:

Started with Cloudinary → too expensive for an early-stage product.

Tried AWS S3 → got stuck dealing with account verification.

Now moving to Cloudflare R2.

@nandantechtwts Ragebait?

[ahanaf @ahanafdotcom]

Update:

Spent the last 2 days moving my SaaS stack to Coolify + DigitalOcean.

Successfully migrated most of my SaaS apps from Render.

The setup took some effort, but now I have more control.

[ahanaf @ahanafdotcom]

Thank you, @render, for suspending my account without any prior notice or clear explanation of what policy I allegedly violated.

From my perspective, I wasn't engaging in anything that violated the rules.

Looks like it's time to move toward self-hosting.

I think I finally cracked how to get US audience in TikTok.

[ahanaf @ahanafdotcom]

This entire video was generated in 1 Click using the tool
