Previously we’ve run through how to open an online broker account and how to buy and sell ETFs. Today we’re going to look at purchasing an index tracker fund. Next stop, the world – muhaha! (Oops, did I say that out loud? I meant to write: ‘Next step, a globally diversified passive portfolio’…) What is an index...
I've been receiving lots of "Undeliverable Mail Returned to Sender" lately for Protohackers signup attempts. Protohackers login is via a "magic link", so attempting to sign up or log in results in sending an email. But none of the email body is user-controlled, so I don't really see the logic in abusing this form to...
Snowy mountain peaks in the Rocky Mountains, as seen from the summit of Flagstaff Mountain near Boulder, Colorado. The post Distant Snowy Peaks appeared first on 75CentralPhotography.
The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, likes to invoke international law. Imagine that one day, someone had finally responded to him. Not just anyone, but one of the founding fathers of international law. It happened just after the Ceuta incident, in July 2026, when tens of thousands people from Morocco surged...

The goal is always the same: The Qnap NAS should work only as network drive. In the future my aim is to switch from Qnap to TrueNAS. Learning I’m reading REST in Practice, a book I can...
I couldn't keep up with my weeknotes this year but I enjoyed writing them :( especially the media round-ups - books and film - as I found I often had something to say if I sat down and thought about it for a second or two. So here are the books I've been reading recently, and some other book related content. Riders...
The Gunpowder Plot is having a surprisingly good Fringe. Having already encountered TheatreGoose’s take on 1605 elsewhere in the festival, it is striking to find another company returning to exactly the same historical event. The approaches could hardly be more different. Where TheatreGoose used the Gunpowder Plot...
Saturday was one of those days where my twin brother Chris was living his best life somewhere down in Westward Ho! attending an all-day rave. Apparently the bass was so loud he could hear it while walking to the venue, which is more than can be said for the fish hearing him on his last three fishing trips. Three...
