A Nigerian designed this.
Want your own Slack for $0? I open-sourced Ember. It deploys to @Cloudflare’s free tier in about a minute, works with Slack-compatible payloads, and includes an AI assistant and media attachments.

I still think back to this, we're seeing UGC channels open organically @costgraphai
Our launch went far and wide, grateful to everyone that reposted and supported us.
We had inbound signups and billing setup on day one alone, excited for the future of what we'd deliver to customers.

Take a tour of database internals. You will come to understand why some things are designed the way they are, how databases interact with the operating system layer, which OS APIs are utilized for I/O operations, and the engineering trade-offs involved with a couple of other things.

Some minutes before 9 to 5 starts..but before I switch into work mode.. I just finished something I have been working on for years..
A complete 100% open source of my solar setup. Including detailed schematics, component I used down to every MCB and alternative you can use. where I got them, official distributors I used.
I worked with claude over the weekend to push this over the line.
I added a complete list of bill of materials. I made it very easy and simple to follow. as you know.. I would be releasing this out with a blog post.
Also open source is how I built this so anyone can also use same format to publish their own system.
I started this journey 10 years ago knowing zero about electricity.. everything I learned as been someone sharing their knowledge.. this is just me giving back.
see you at past 17:01
before then a sneak peak..

Reminds me of a celebrity who sent “hi.” I didn’t reply, expecting more, only for him to text again asking why I hadn’t responded, saying he wanted to discuss my football career (in a messiah tone), calling me a “funny boy,” and wishing me good luck.
I replied, “Thank you very much for your kind wishes,” and that was it.
This is one of many cases where people talk to me as if they’re doing me a favor and I won’t amount to anything otherwise.
I am not a worthless person and know I am valuable—that’s why you reached out. Trying to spin it like I am a nobody that you want to make somebody will not fly.
As the Van Gogh saying goes: “If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
I am Hakeem Onitọlọ; there was never a time I was a nobody.

Don’t message her. Go to her following list & dm this information to every single person she follows. People like this only care when other people who know them know their behavior.
She’s not Nigerian so calling her out in a Nigerian dominated space won’t matter to her.

I found this out earlier this year when I bought a cartons of Peak milk and Three-crowns milk directly from a WAMCO depot.
99% of what we’re ingesting in this country is counterfeited and straight up poison.

This video came out a decade ago and till today it perfectly captures how men can tell if the woman is into them. Hope it clears things up for you.

Save these tips if you plan to visit IITA (from Lagos)
1. Take the train. You can only book within a 48hr window of your trip. First class has ton of leg room but the coach cabin isn’t bad as well. I did both
2. IITA itself is best reached for bookings over email. As of Nov 2026, their rooms start from N125k (single). The one bedroom is N160k. I stayed in both but preferred the one bed as it has a kitchenette
3. The food in the International House cafeteria is quite nice. Don’t miss the sea food okro, pizza (they have a proper wood-fired oven), the meat pies (baked fresh at 11am every day), suya and all the different varieties of pepper soup. There’s also fresh palmwine on some days and this delicious pineapple drink you absolutely need to try.
4. The tennis coach is amazing. Book a class with him. He is also super beginner friendly.
5. Don’t miss a tour of the grounds. If you are lucky, you’ll get someone to show you around the farms as well.
6. Sunset at the lake is a must-do. Ask to be taken to the peninsula and also the dam as well.
7. Please be respectful of the grounds. It is a quiet research environment. It is also plastic-free so dispose of all your trash in the designated bins.
8. The forest walk is also a cool thing to do but you need at least two people for that. I was solo so couldn’t do it this time
9. The cafeteria dj comes alive in the evenings so don’t spend all your time in the room
10. The staff are incredible. Tip if you can

Former PlayStation CEO Shawn Layden claims Sony making a powerful PS6 may be a mistake.
"I think we have enough power in the machine. The innovation needs to come not from making the PS6 for $1,200, it's to make another PS5 for $300. Now, that would be true innovation."
