Não acredito que depois de um semestre eu finalmente consegui terminar de ler meu segundo livro do ano. O que é um absurdo comparado com o ano passado que eu li um número inacreditável de livros (pra mim). Não teve um motivo em...
Dear reader,Discussions about private email providers center on two providers:Proton and Tuta. During the last five years that I used Proton Mail, I accepted the premise. However, Proton’s limitations on the free plan, the focus on AI...
It saddens me that many people do not see far enough to understand well what we are losing while losing privacy rights and trivializing data protection. It is so much more than most think. This affects our intimacy, our safety, our...
My regular morning view from the hotel gym, looking out across the Rosebank suburb of Johannesburg. When last week’s Sun City-based conference was announced, I decided to extend my stay in South Africa so that I could spend some time...
Trailing dots after hostnames in URLs remain my worst enemies. I wrote about several problems with them in the past that involved those nasty things. They are still painful. When we shipped curl 8.21.0 on June 24 2026 we fixed at least...

Someone reminds Yang Zhenghui, who runs an online channel about true crime, about his ex-girlfriend Vivian, so he decides to look her up to see what she’s been doing. To his surprise, he realises that she has disappeared. His amateur...

Brains, eyes, environments, and why no trajectory of intelligence we can actually inspect supports the idea of monotonic improvement toward “superintelligence.” Start with an animal that should embarrass us. The mantis shrimp has twelve...
The new social network W Social - which purports to be a healthier alternative to Elon Musk’s X, “made in Europe, for the world” - would be a fascinating case study for future business school seminars. Its debut has been messy, filled...
I've just made an initial release of a new library related to my ongoing project to build my own Gemini protocol browser. Initially, the code to parse the hypertext format used for Gemini sites, lived in the Rogallo codebase. But despite...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. NOTE: I’m attending ALA this weekend with Words & Money, wearing my “occasional journalist” hat, so if you see me around, say hello! Also, my last “newsletter” was linked to and shared by several...
Hiking with Wallace, my 6" f/2.8 corrected dobsonian.
I’ve had an email list for years, mostly for my business. But as I’ve consolidated my output it’s time for me to get rid of my old list. So I’ve setup a series of blasts for this/next week. Some have moved over. Many haven’t. But it’s...
Things like this don’t bother me much; not any more. I’m past the stage where I care. Trolls will always troll, and some people on the Internet will always be as nasty as they can possibly be, safe in the knowledge that their words can...
Es ist zu warm heute. Die Wetterapp sagt die Temperatur liegt 13ºC über dem Durchschnitt für 15. Julis. Muss wegen des Wetters morgen nicht auf Arbeit, aber die Uni fällt nicht aus. Das Seminar wurde ins Erdgeschoss verlegt, ich...
