Ok so it works in chrome, not in safari. Looks like you might have an issue with safari?

@CloudflareHelp the cloudflare dashboard has down for me for the last 15 minutes, it’s shown as operational on the cloudflare status page. Could someone look into this? I can’t even contact support without access to the dashboard

@abevoelker Hey I just wanted to say thanks for releasing v1 of devise-passwordless, it has so many improvements that I’ve either hand rolled in my own project or wished had been there from the start. Love it, thank you! ❤️

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

@lylo I’m doing the opposite but I’ve almost entirely switched to mastodon and it works just as well for me. Almost everyone I follow is there (lucky maybe?). I really don’t miss Twitter, especially the amount of noise from recommended posts

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

@adrianthedev @rickychilcott @davidlormor @sommer_of_love That’s very kind 😊 You’ve always been very welcoming, friendly and willing to collaborate on the code

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

@lylo @O2 I can relate. Also the reception is poor in SW London. I moved to O2 for EU roaming but I regret it…

@zeninternet Does the contact form on https://t.co/KRYaO61vfT work? In the last month I’ve tried twice to contact your sales team about switching to zen, both times I had an automated reply saying I’d get a reply in 48 hours and both times I never heard anything else.

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

I’ve just signed up for https://t.co/qo1T240Qfb on @joinmastodon

@schneems @rbates That’s the best explanation of hexagonal rails that I’ve ever read 😅

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

@TonyMarklove I’m using vips, which I think uses libjpeg. There’s some interesting conversion about how to replicate mozjpeg with vips here https://t.co/YlsV3qbHe6 but it doesn’t sound as good as mozjpeg itself

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

Webp is a great image format but it’s far slower at encoding files than jpeg, even at the lowest effort settings.

If anyone wants to migrate from heroku to dokku here’s a straightforward little guide

[Adrian Marin 🥑 avohq.io @adrianthedev]

Today I moved Avo's demo apps from Heroku to a @dokku instance.

Here's what I did 🧵👇

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

@adrianthedev @dokku Thanks for sharing!

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

This post is full of great advice about writing shell scripts https://t.co/1MvkW2p44I

@ismasan You mean your timeline isn’t all about cats???

[Dont Show Your Cat @DontShowYourCat]

experiencing technical difficulties

TIL cssbundling-rails works by adding `yarn build:css` as a dependency for `asset:precompile` rake task (but if you want to precompile other css files you need to add them yourself) https://t.co/Nqqw4O6Unx

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

I can't count the number of times that using git reflog has let me recover work I thought was lost 😰 It's definitely worth learning how to use it https://t.co/gB2TiABIER

I've been playing with the visitor pattern lately. Once it's set up it's easy to add more and more classes that navigate through your whole class hierarchy, without having to hard-code how it's structured. It's a very powerful tool

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

Yesterday in the middle of a Google Hangouts call I switched from slow wifi to fast 5G tethering, and it didn't interrupt the call at all 🤯

[Iain Beeston @iainbeeston]

@percysnoodle Yes but only within the borders of Great Britain (not in NI)
