In my last two posts, I outlined different stories about my experiences dealing with developers that had offloaded their work to low-quality LLMs, resulting in frustrating performance degradation. Today, I’ll be writing about a similar...
It’s Blogvent, day 5, where I blog daily in December! Today, an Issue I made on a repository 11 years ago was closed. Eleven whole years! The Issue hasn’t been solved yet (the team did say it’s on the roadmap though, so yay, and they had...

Last weekend I drove down to see my family. I have one cousin who has a ton of kids, so every time I see him, he's like, "Let's meet up for dinner away from the chaos." As soon as he and his wife sat down, they both immediately ordered...
Back in college I ran a service called Dog-a-Day, where I emailed subscribers a picture of a dog every day, along with a fun caption. This was initially just a Christmas present for my dad but it spiraled into a full service with some...

Tom’s post nudged me to revive my Digital photo frame that I set up last year. Turned it on this morning and it lit up like it was setup a minute ago. Love it! Took me a minute though to figure out how I’d initially set it up since I...
I am a worrier. A worrier that comes from a long line of worriers. I’ve spent a significant amount of time worrying, so I am practiced. With all due humility, I’m very good at it. And, in spite of my skill level, the outcome of this...
The suggestion, made by The Daily Aus (TDA), is that few Australians listened to local music in 2025. On Spotify at least. Zero local acts featured in Australia’s most listened-to artists, tracks, and albums on Spotify in 2025. You’ll...
The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading. Why read it? The First Letter to the Corinthians is Paul’s firm yet loving reply to a troubled church in...
I added an Ads.txt file to this site (see our Ads.txt file). That may sound odd. This site doesn’t have ads! That is true. But I like collecting text files and I learned how to create a properly-formatted Ads.txt file for an ad-free...

I recently took my old workstation out of storage, booted it and found it running Fedora 40 - so of course it was time to put NixOS on the machine and bring it into the fleet. I’ve probably been sleeping on the machine as a...

Almost exactly 20 years ago I installed and used Linux for the first time. The distro was good old Ubuntu 5.10, code-named “Breezy Badger” back in the day. The hardware was my faithful Apple iBook G3 bought in 2003, with a PowerPC CPU....

I just saw the post on Mastodon that the FSF Europe deleted their account on X (Twitter) and recommends their Fediverse accounts. On their news site they write: The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X. The platform...
Have you ever heard of Whamageddon? I hadn't, until the hashtag recently showed up in my Mastodon feed. According to the wiki site, it's a tongue-in-cheek survival game in which the player must avoid hearing Wham!'s Last Christmas from...

七年前我来到了日本，一开始因为词汇量不够，时常会有不知道准确的日语表达方式的情况，但是生活中使用日语的场景远多于母语的中文，渐渐地说话的时候想不起来准确的中文词汇的次数越来越多了。每次想不到准确的表达方式的时候，我都会非常难受。在试图究其原因的时候我发现，作为一个大学选了外语专业的人，我应该是有一些语言洁癖的。 我尽量避免说（不地道的）方言 汉语 我是一个东北人，但我除了和家人在一起的时候之外基本不说东北话。主要有两个原因：...

I started this blog to document and reflect on random moments from my life. Eventually to find that it was a poor medium for doing so. Though anonymous (to a certain degree), my page is public facing. No matter how much I tell myself to...
