I've written a new blog post: It's 2026, why are vendor prefixes still in your CSS?
It's 2026, why are vendor prefixes still in your CSS? — Max Glenister
I’ve spent more time over the last 20 years working on front-end asset pipelines than I’d care to admit. One thing that kept coming up when inheriting older codebases was CSS full of vendor prefixes that hadn’t been necessary for years - -webkit-border-radius sitting above border-radius, -moz-box-shadow doubling up on box-shadow.

Too Much Color
I spent too much time looking at too many colo(u)rs to try and optimise them
for csskit. Here are some interesting findings.

New blog post: "The DS Pico might be the last DS flashcart you'll ever need"
The DS Pico might be the last DS flashcart you'll ever need — Max Glenister
In 2007 I was deep in the DS flashcart scene, cycling through a string of carts. GBATemp threads, firmware drama, custom skins, compatibility lists. By 2009 I’d moved on. Nearly twenty years later, the DS Pico has pulled me right back in. Open-source, built around an RP2040, and around £10 from Chiscart on AliExpress. I’ve bought three.

New blog post: "Reducing commit log noise caused by a GitHub Action"
Reducing commit log noise caused by a GitHub Action — Max Glenister
I have a “now playing” widget on my /now page that shows the last track scrobbled to Last.fm. It’s powered by a GitHub Actions workflow that polls the Last.fm API every hour and commits the result to the repo. It worked fine, but quietly polluted my commit history.

New blog post: "Building a Home NAS from Mostly Spare Parts"
Building a Home NAS from Mostly Spare Parts — Max Glenister
I’ve had a SNUNMU GK3 mini-PC kicking about since early-2023, barely used. An impulse buy that ended up on a shelf, alongside a drawer full of old drives from various machines and NAS attempts that never quite came together. Picking up a 5-bay USB enclosure finally gave me a reason to use all of it. It’s not polished and it’s not redundant, but it’s simple, flexible, and entirely under my control.

Thanks Youtube, I needed this.
