Has anyone had a Golang server accept a non utf8 string that fails to insert into Postgres? I cannot reproduce this type of request for the love of all that is json

Only in #seattle
A pair of self-declared alcoholics stumble into a pizzeria with no signs, graffiti on the windows, and a broken down patio because they were drawn by the red lights like โ€œmoths to the old flameโ€

Ananas pizzeria/bar coming soon to first hill!

had some fun hacking around with #postgres text search on some #seattle data.

here's a streamlit + golang + postgres stack for lookups of emergency food locations.

Chatted with a friend working on mitigating social harm from tech and once we started getting into "an intimate threat actor already has access to the phone" I remembered why I don't want to go into security...

Always fun to find random test data in a project with names such as "Victor Wooten"

Been quite a day of #yakshaving on my personal setups, but happy to have gotten my blog update up onto github pages (https://home.gerardbentley.com/) with a build helper script for jupyter notebooks.

Also excited to connect my gotosocial instance to S3 storage, but disassociated all of my old media files in the process :(

Linode block storage didn't seem to work out of the box, but AWS is going fine; now to rip all those little jpegs out of my old vps!
