Hi everyone, as I spent a substantial amount of time in the console, even today, i sometimes need to think of some complex combination of git/find/ffmpeg/xargs and friends and so i've been using https://github.com/kagisearch/ask for some time. Since it appears to be unmaintained i started my own version (yes, thanks to some LLMs work) and i am quite happy with it. It appears to have gained a lot more features than i initially thought but there it is.

So I decided to make it simple, just a list of products and some filters to find what I need. If you value a distraction free, no clutter way to find what you need, check it out: https://findpcpart.com In the future, I plan to extend it and provide more…

In this deep dive I build real tenant isolation into EF Core 10 - two real tenants with real registration, login and invite flows (no dev-token shortcuts), a named global query filter that scopes every query automatically, and a SaveChangesAsync override that stamps TenantId on every insert so it's never left unset.
