A personal hypertext of Bryan Schuetz.https://distresssignal.org/en-ushttps://distresssignal.org/term-in-progress/https://distresssignal.org/term-in-progress/Mostly, I feel like time is flowing way to fast—I just want to slow things down. There is one context though—where things couldn't go fast enough. So I built a little Raycast extension to show me this particular countdown whenever I toggle the window open. Wed, 18 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/this-machine-kills-fascists/https://distresssignal.org/this-machine-kills-fascists/Finally got around to re-building my BauerLite 0 with Dynacap EC switches. Unlike traditional mechanical switches EC switches activate by detecting changes in electrical charge, or capacitance, without physical metal contact points. A true 'oneness with cup rubreh' is the result. Sat, 31 Jan 2026 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/going-subtle-with-zed/https://distresssignal.org/going-subtle-with-zed/People love to hate on generative AI, especially when it shows up where it wasn't before. Something like 60% of global venture capital is invested in AI—yes, AI Enshitification is real. So there's a lot of smoke there, but there's some fire. People who use text editors for writing code are right in the middle of that fire. This is fine.Mon, 05 May 2025 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/infinite-scrolling-with-turboframes/https://distresssignal.org/infinite-scrolling-with-turboframes/Infinite scrolling is a dark pattern, and traditional pagination controls are anachronistic on a modern web page. There is a better way. An infinite scroll (with user controlls) and a sensible NoJS fallback. The venerable [Turbo](https://turbo.hotwired.dev/) library makes this kind of thing super easy to implement in any framework. It has been my go-to pattern for pagination for a while now. Mon, 28 Apr 2025 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/astro-and-eleventy/https://distresssignal.org/astro-and-eleventy/**Allow me to say up-front**: I'm a fan of both Eleventy _and_ Astro. They occupy a very similar conceptual scope in my head and place in my heart. Recently, I was playing around with the charts from the [State of JS 24 survey](https://2024.stateofjs.com/en-US) and I was struck by this one that plots interest in both Astro and Eelevnty. Wed, 10 Apr 2024 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/rolling-my-own-hey-imbox/https://distresssignal.org/rolling-my-own-hey-imbox/I think the email screening features of Hey.com are super useful. I couldn't justify the monthly cost of a subscription there, so I decided to roll my own local versions. Using Applescript, Mail.app, and Raycast, I was able to pretty much replicate the workflow I had when I was using the trial version of Hey. I've been using this setup for a year or so and it's ofically not bad. Wed, 10 Apr 2024 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/astro-dev-toolbar-breakpoints/https://distresssignal.org/astro-dev-toolbar-breakpoints/I made a stupid little app for the Astro Dev Toolbar. Basically, it just shows the current viewport width—expressed as a tailwind class—in the toolbar. Fri, 05 Apr 2024 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/keyboards/https://distresssignal.org/keyboards/At this point, talking about keyboards seems a bit cliché. Still, like the hipster who was a fan of that band before they made it big and sold out—I do feel compelled to pull out my recipts and say a few things on the subject. As a child of the 80s, I grew up with some [cool keyboards](https://deskthority.net/wiki/Radio_Shack_TRS-80_Model_I). The caps were tall and shiny, the layouts were odd, and the cases were loud and full of echo.Tue, 09 Jan 2024 17:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/brackets/https://distresssignal.org/brackets/I missed the first two matches, but I'm in [for the rest](https://twitter.com/xkcdbracket). If I'm right, I think Volcano Vs. Predator and Octopus Vs. Zombies will be the closest matches of the tournament. But who knows what will happen—any given Sunday and all that.Thu, 10 Oct 2019 22:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/github-actions-redux/https://distresssignal.org/github-actions-redux/Late last year—after I got my invitation into the beta of Github Actions—[I wrote up](https://distresssignal.org/github-actions) a quick little action and workflow for building and deploying a Jekyll repo back to its gh-pages branch. Mostly I just wanted to see how actions worked. But, this was also a nice way to build a Jekyll site with my own custom gems and buildscripts while still keeping the enitre workflow on Github—which is my preference.Sat, 05 Oct 2019 22:00:00 GMThttps://distresssignal.org/dry-the-rain/https://distresssignal.org/dry-the-rain/"I will now sell five copies of The Three EP's by The Beta Band".
