Eventually loneliness and snow became the same thing in her mind, lighter than air, made of nothing; only upon tackling the stuff did you realize it had piled too heavy to yield.
Day 39, What do you like to read? Books, newsletters, doomscrolling, blogs, paper magazines? I love to read books, YouTube, and blogs. I wish I had a better alternative to YouTube, but itâs still a great place to learn new ideas and technology. Even as much as I hate going onto ex-Twitter, I still find myself coming...
Previously. Whenever I am submitting forms in the Web, I have the habit (tendency?) to keep hitting Cmd-A Cmd-C every once in a while, with the goal of saving all the text Iâve typed so far in a given text input field to the system clipboard. This practice, when paired with a clipboard manager, acts as a backup...

We often see and hear a lot of hype and â unfortunately â enshittification when it comes to GenAI. Despite knowing that there are indeed some valuable use cases for the application of AI to solve some issues, I rarely read about a employee friendly adoption of GenAI.

Lake Averno is a small volcanic lake in the Phlegraean Fields, near Pozzuoli. It is considered the entrance to the Underworld in Greco-Roman mythology: it was a place of worship and rituals connected to the afterlife. Now it is (not only, but above all) a beautiful and relaxing body of water, just steps from the sea...
October 2025. Chaddesden. Derby. Back at Derby station from Tutbury, I reckoned it was worth chancing a dash to the Hoppy Place, Derbyâs lone new GBG tick a couple of miles east. Out the stationâs back entrance, through the grim light industry and Tier 2 football of Pride Park, over the Brian Clough expressway viaâŠ...
It was this or a blurry picture of a chocolate dessert with candle, a surprise at a local Italian joint we'd been wanting to try for some time.Currently Listening: The 1975 âFallingforyouâReply via email
Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another. - Alfred Adler The world seems to be operating on a shortage of empathy these days. Empathy requires a level of understanding. Not that you've "been through it," but that you can fathom the...

When I first heard of Affinity I thought to myself, âWow! What a nice competitor to Adobeâ The bundle was paid with a perpetual license. Pay once and boom. And I DID pay for the iPad bundle. I donât want to admit it but here we are. The thing about this is that Serif (the [âŠ]

Check out As in guillotine... for more. Resistance is never futile. More importantly, it can be contagious. Understanding what âI am not âanti-AIâ⊠I am pro-craft.â means to me, by Guy LeCharles Gonzalez, was originally posted on As in guillotine....
I gave a talk at the 2025 Tracing Summit last month titled âPerfetto: The Swiss Army Knife of Linux Client/Embedded Tracingâ. My goal in this talk was to show how Linux kernel, systems and embedded developers can use Perfetto when debugging and root-causing performance issues in their respective domains. Even though...
Roshan: I got recently annoyed with iTerm2 encountering random lag and using infinite CPU slowing everything down. It happened at a moment of personal exasperation so I decided to try out [https://ghostty.org/ Ghostty] since I've tried [https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty alacritty] before and it was too minimal...
I often use music as a motivator, when I don't have energy to do things, no mater what it is, I turn the music on and I gain a sense of strength I can't have with anything else. Somehow I can suddenly keep pushing through the day, so music is my energy as if I were a robot that can charge with it. There are certain...

What started as an idle idea I was entertaining while riding my bike from NUE after a day of airplane photography turned into an amusing application that pleases me to no end. I'm talking about RetroPPI. Similar to tar1090, it visualizes ADS-B receiver data, but unlike tar1090, it emulates a vintage-looking PPI....
Kroki is a wonderful tool I discovered during the time I worked as DevRel: itâs a small open source containerized application (compatible with OpenShift off-the-box) written in JavaScript, that encapsulates as many textual diagram formats as possible under a single unified API, offering a convenient way for users to...
I feel this. Iâm the type of person who will willingly go on Twitter (even though I hate Twitter) just to find spoilers for whatever show Iâm watching. Back when Castle was on, I visited TVLine almost every day looking to see if they had an article on what was going to happen in the next season. I also frequently...
There was something about Monday. You could just feel it. I got to the office, checked my diary, and for the first time in months I saw a meeting-free afternoon stretched out before me, full of possibility of all the productive things I might do. It wasnât to be. John Steinbeck described such a day in his novel...
Minimalism is something Iâve always strove for. I never followed it to the letter - instead just applying the core principals of it. Keep things small, light and utilitarian. Sparse, white and gray were the keys. I wouldnât say itâs been something Iâve always followed instead, my tendency went for and against as...
A while ago, I reflected on my troubles during my commute with other autistic people I know, and it helped put things into words that are difficult to talk about. It also helped to realize that they experience it too. My commute via tram is an hour long. A good experience for me is when the sun is rising, the tram...
Hey everyone, it's Halloween! Except it's not, because I live in Germany and we don't have Halloween, even though the media has relentlessly and with some success tried to introduce it over here as well in recent years. When I was a kid, Halloween wasn't a thing at all. We had a different tradition though in the...

Finally, an enemies-to-lovers story that has teeth, and an actress who could embody a deadly female general. That was already fantastic, but Fated Hearts also has a coherent storyline and wonderfully written characters - such a rarity in CDramaland these days.
Iâm introverted, and asocial. I like spending time on my hobbies. Iâm the type to finish off all my work first, then relax. Iâm the type who eats all the boring stuff off a plate, before relishing the good stuff. I have a high-speed routine of how I get ready, and how I unpack when Iâm home. I know how many minutes...
I saw a docu about a nun whoâd spent 25 years in a Carmel cloister. Which for Sweden is unusual. Obv I was fishing for info about digital minimalism but the docu didnât deliver what I wanted in that regard. She says at one point âWe donât have radio, TV, or newspapers, and we use internet very sparinglyâ. I was like...

For a long time, I have been using Celery to do background tasks. It does work, but has limitations. Limitations become apparent when you teach it to someone or when someone new tries to use it. So I am always looking for simple (not trivial) and easier ways to achieve this. I have...
Howdy yâall, I hope your October was not as hectic as mine. Mine was ridiculous! Itâs been a super hardworking year overall, and Iâm looking forward to a trip with my family at the end of the year. We are going to spend December in Sri Lanka, so if you have any tips and recommendations, ping me on Mastodon, Bluesky,...

When a patching platform turns into an initial-access vector, you are looking at failure stacked on failure. That is exactly what CVE-2025-59287 did for Windows Server Update Services (WSUS): an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw from unsafe deserialization, actively exploited in the wild, with an emergency...
I am surprised I haven't written this sooner, especially since I have written about How I Write HTTP Clients. It was inevitable this post was going to be written. With that said, I want this post to follow the same format so a lot of this will read very similar since I copied a lot of the language from it and just...
PumpkinOS is a re-implementation of PalmOS. In a short Halloween-themed post, I built it from source and ran it on Linux.

I feel like one day we all woke up and decided to stop eating gravy (I also feel this way about casseroles). Maybe it's generational, but lately I only see people making sheet pan meals, pastas, or stir-fry. If they're feeling adventurous, maybe I'll see a big pot of soup or crockpots full of chicken or chili. I...

As part of my mission to find, discover, and expose cool things, Iâve decided to start sharing the cool stuff I have found on the internet once a month with the rest of you. Unfortunately, in October, I had this idea rather late, so the pickings are a mite slim.
