I miss when people actually gave a fuck about reliability

In the past week

1. Found a lump
2. Had a biopsy + learned what BI-RADS is
3. Stressed. A good bit.
4. Had confirmation I am totally fine

So just a reminder to check yourself if you haven't for a while, and get medical attention if you need to <3

working on rendering our inline TUIs on top of terminal content, without first clearing space or using alt screen

Our longest downtime in ~5yrs. Sorry for any impact 🙁

We're migrating back to Hetzner.

💅 we built a new sidebar, saving some space + making things look a bit more polished

🛜 better SSH config support - still not 100% parity, but lots of SSH connection config can now be handled via the runbook

✨ ai assistant for authoring + editing runbooks. we had a bunch of people ask about this, so started to experiment
