Read Too Many Mystics now!Can you tell us a little bit about your Superworld Universe and how this ties into it? When my four children were small and we’d go on long trips in the car, I’d tell them stories about them being superheroes....
Today is Send a Friend a Webmention Day! Webmentions are a way to make posting on your own website more social, and I think they're pretty neat. I have a page with a bunch of info about setting them up on your site — the basics are...
Man, I'm exhausted. Last night, I spent a fair portion of the evening alone in my car in this parking lot I frequent. The spot I go to is nestled in a small corner of the strip mall. I like it because it's a bit secluded, mostly private,...
Himbeer-Torte mit Kokos Ich hatte mir eine Torte gewünscht. Eine Himbeertorte. Fruchtig. Sahnig. Mit Kokos im Boden und auch auf der Sahne. Und einem knuffigen Biskuitboden. Alles ganz einfach. Und wenn sie direkt aus dem Kühlschrank...
Sometimes, I have a really strong urge to write a small, quick poem. And sometimes, I just find the right inspiration, as in the following case, on a night when I wanted to play with words but my window and the night outside felt dull:...
Azi noapte m-am pus să dorm la ora 02:00 și nu pot spune că am făcut mare lucru. Am citit blog-uri, m-am uitat la câteva clipuri pe YouTube și am mai făcut câteva setări la noul forum de la Linux România. Din păcate nu am putut să dorm...
♠ Problem statement: a newly created Route 53 record resolved through public DNS, but Chrome Brave and macOS still returned DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE. It smells like a DNS caching issue. Flushing mDNSResponder did nothing though. The system...
Sam from TheTangentSpace published a post a few days ago about his participation in the Blaugust Festival Of Blogging. I remember this from seeing the #blaugust hashtag in previous years, but I never participated, so I thought this year...
A hotel manager once told a marathoner he could run a six-minute mile. The marathoner — who had raced twenty-six miles at 7:35 pace and knew exactly what a six-minute mile costs a body — called bullshit. The manager didn’t retreat to...

I've updated Rogallo to v1.4.0. The main change in this release is to how server certificates are handled, which in turn should solve a bit of friction Rogallo had when using some popular Gemini capsules. Until now, Rogallo simply used a...
From Alex’s post, The Productivity Mirage (HN discussion here): I remember this legendary software engineer at Facebook. His name is Bob. Bob is a prolific engineer – he was responsible for shipping Facebook Groups (among other things)....
Software is hard. I’m getting close to 50. Tech has developed a new religion. The power dynamics have shifted, yet again. I asked myself in the last two years, what does work look like? What does it look like for me? I’d been working as...
With the window open and the breeze flowing through, I hear the calls and songs of birds. A calling pigeon in particular stands out. I love the calls of pigeons in the evening. The sound reminds me of childhood, looking out the window,...
On Friday I finished Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Atmosphere, a sapphic romance set during the early days of the Shuttle program, and really enjoyed it. In addition to the obvious reasons (space! lesbians!), the story’s focus on an...
So many links in one post. I ended up going down all kinds of rabbit holes off the back of this single post (also the second time I've linked to Sal's blog today 🙃). I discovered Coyote's blog, and Sylvia's. So went ahead and read some...
Anastasia has been very vocal lately, much more than usual, and it’s been worrying us. She’s been yeowling a lot at night, and both before and after using her litter box, and has been especially clingy, which is a lot given I usually...
Recently I gave two presentations in quick succession to the Dutch Network of Public Service Providers and the Dutch Advisory Council for Science, Technology and Innovation about AI. In these two different and brief presentations, I...
Blaugust 2026 It’s August already! The month of Blaugust starts again. I’ve been debating a bit if I would join again or not this year—just like last year. But before I get into that, Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place each...
Once, I spent a year walking Brooklyn’s historic Green-Wood Cemetery daily, winding between the marble tombs engulfed by tree-roots and emblazoned with the surnames of the dead, each followed by a full stop to demarcate the terminus of...
And with slowly I mean slowly to the point where it actually not bothering me enough to take action immediatly… Did you ever had that? A piece of Hardware slowly losing it’s reliability but refuses to die properly. It just dies enough to...
Reading Kali’s post about ownership triggered me to write this post about my memories of owning games and other types of media in my lifetime. The future is bleak. GamesGrowing up, I was a video game addict. Browsing the aisles lined...
I originally planned to host an HTML day celebration and mini-workshop for HTML Day: https://pan.rent/@tommi/116755244186938844 Unfortunately, I had too many things on my plate and I could not do it. If I was in Rotterdam (where Sevgi is...
July 2026. Sheffield. I drove down with the boys to see Dad a week ago, and back the same day. Dad didn’t recognise us, but was enjoying the company and the fishcakes, which is what matters. Now Sunnyside is sold I’ve no need to stay in...

In about 40 minutes from now I will do a live stream with Christian Arzu from the @linkarzu channel on YouTube. The video will be recorded. The topic of our meeting revolves around how Christian uses NeoVim and Kitty to handle sessions...
This was previously published on Writer's Digest. The column instructed us to be a clueless literary agent. This was accepted, and I was so happy my satire was accepted, I bragged about it to the grass and to gravity itself. The...
A “record” El Niño event, presently wreaking havoc in the northern hemisphere, is expected to lead to an excessively warm and dry spring in Australia, and, no doubt, other regions south of the equator. We’ve barely had a winter in my...
July has been left behind, Mexico didn’t make it further in the World Cup, but at least Spain won instead of Argentina. It does seem like the U-20 team is doing pretty well in the CONCACAF Championship though! group leaders and ready for...

Ako imaš resurse i imaš ideju, treba provjeriti isplati li se ideju implementirati. Prvo gledaš da ideja nije očita, da te neće "ubiti" ako propadneš i na kraju može li se kako pretvoriti u magičnu fabriku para.

Mientras investigaba si podía mejorar la latencia de mi servidor de WireGuard, encontré muchas cositas interesantes. Por ejemplo, no es raro que los ISP contraten la ruta más barata para llegar del punto A al punto B. Pero también que...
In the early days of high school, I knew what I wanted to do as a job. I had a hobby, though, and figured that it could be developed into a type of thing I would do on the side. You see, like most 15-year-olds, my taste in music was so...
I finally reached Level 5 on Dreaming Spanish (600-ish hours), and to celebrate, here's a list of some Spanish words I like at the moment: Conquistar This word means exactly what you think it means, however it's used in place of "winning...
Read on the website: I dedicated this July to not using my laptop (and definitely not watching YouTube!) It’s a tentative win!
Today two colleagues said goodbye. It is hitting me harder than I thought. I cried. Nikki and Anouk appreciated my honesty. They were honest with me too. That is rare. Honesty is not a given in the world today. It is full of fakes and...

Was hanging out on the beach tonight and saw a SpaceX rocket. I’m not sure the world needs more Starlink satellites but it is a cool sight to witness. It’s interesting to see how the rocket changes as it gets higher into the atmosphere....

While I mainly used the PDF reader integrated into Firefox on Android to view PDFs on my phone so far, I now have a new favorite PDF reader. What bugged me about the reader in Firefox was especially the performance when viewing big PDFs...
