A poem arrives on thin, pale paper, bound to a withered branch. It speaks softly of the exhaustion of too much care, the heavy burden of words. One should read it, let the sleeve fall, and simply watch the rain. Instead, the receiver,...
Gisteren verscheen de brief waarmee de staatssecretaris van Economische Zaken en Klimaat liet weten dat ze de overname van Solvinity door Kyndryl ging verbieden. Een forse cast mensen, waaronder 200.000 ondertekenaars van een petitie,...

On the NES version of Clu-Clu Land, Bubbles goes to a rave between levels as the background screen rapidly cycles. That might’ve looked okay on CRT but does not look good on OLED or LCD. Clu-Clu Land is my favorite game but I never heard...
Coming to Bear is my first encounter with the small web, or indieweb, as a creator, and I have learned so much these past couple of months. First of all, I have learned that Bear is much more than a blogging platform, it's a town square...

最近手机电量掉到 5% 以下时，我依旧不太慌。有时甚至会坐在路边，把最后一点电量用完，看几个短视频，然后慢慢走回家。 大概就是在这样的时刻，我意识到自己开始熟悉这个住了一年多的小镇。它不再是个游客城市，变成了一个让我有安全感的地方。 还有一些很小的事情，也会提醒我这一点。 英国的移动网络信号很不可靠，特别是在非伦敦区域。即使在镇子中心，也经常没信号。刚来的时候，我会因此很无助，拿着手机到处走，只想快点找到一点网络。...

So there I was, in the supermarket car park, gazing happily at a tough-looking low-growing shrub covered with tiny white flowers (maybe a Contoneaster of some kind) – and there, drinking their fill of nectar, were three glorious Painted...
As a heavy emacs user, Guix system seems to be the logical place to rest one’s head in the perpetual distro hop. As an all-or-nothing type guy, I’ve been running NixOS for the better part of a year now, but Guix seems to philosophically...
This is the tin some markers came in. It was sturdy enough to keep and perfect because it has a window so I can see what’s in it. But the tin was printed with the info about the markers and I didn’t think that looked very pretty. So I...
