I came across an odd bug in Apple OSX Messages and reported it to Apple a few months ago, but I am sure they have had other liquidy things to focus on at the moment. I use Messages on my Mac OSX desktop quite a bit as I find typing on the keyboard more convenient when I am working on the Mac. It is also a bit easier...
Das war mal wieder ein wunderbarer Cineville-Monat; mit dabei ein Anwärter auf meinen Film des Jahres und zwei echte Klassiker—alles in den Lichtspielen Kalk. The Legend of Ochi (OmdU) Ein Familienfilm mit einem A24-Twist, würde ich sagen. Zwar ab 6 Jahre, aber mit einem Grundschulkind würde ich da nicht rein...

Asistí al IV Encuentro AlumniUAH 25 Aniversario de la Promoción del 2000. Una oportunidad de reunirme con las personas con las que compartí aulas, laboratorios y jornadas de prácticas de campo durante mi formación universitaria en Ciencias Ambientales. Un torpe e indisimulado evento comercial por parte de la...

Day 8, What is the funniest book or TV show with which you are familiar? Recently I recommended Calvin and Hobbes. Once again would recommend that and Minus, from beats by kiwi. Outside of that the most recent book I read that had me laughing was the black tongue thief.

I made Anubis, a lightweight, open-source Web Application Firewall designed to block automated bot attacks without frustrating real users. Anubis uses techniques like TLS fingerprinting and JavaScript proof of work to keep your site safe while staying flexible, fast, and easy to deploy.
I’m making progress on the Java decompiler I’ve mentioned in a previous post, and I want to share the next couple of tricks I’m using to speed it up. Java bytecode is a stack-based language, and so data flow is a bit cursed, especially when the control flow is complicated. I need to analyze data flow globally for...

Edit: Please avoid buying TRMNL It turns out some people behind TRMNL are not something I want to support. See: https://social.lol/@adam/114959554043586459 Archive link: https://archive.is/3Nu1c I do not want to support a company that allows and endorses this sort of behavior. You are allowed to do what you wish,...
If you’re an experienced web developer looking to go freelance, or just line up a few solid side gigs, there’s a simple shift that can make your life much easier: stop targeting upwork / individuals / mom-and-pop shops, and sell to businesses. Focus on clients who already know how to work with developers and have...
¶1. Everybody uses it: “I’m passionate about …” It’s become a cliché. Please, just avoid it. ¶2. Missus and I went out for breakfast yesterday. A treat for Dia dos Namorados (Brazil’s Valentine’s Day.) Oh, day before that, I brought her a piece of cake home from her favorite store. Gotta take care of each other. ¶3....
Last April (2025), Google introduced Firebase Studio. It is an AI tool that allows you to create (web) apps by giving prompts, just like with ChatGPT. There are other vibecoding tools, such as Bolt and Lovable, but unlike Firebase Studio, they are limited to a number of prompts/tokens per day or…
arrivederci perché una migrazione non significa un addio e il grosso dei miei contatti nel fediverso fa parte di Livello Segreto, che dal 2022 è stata senza dubbio la mia istanza preferita (spoiler: tutto sommato lo è ancora).
Because I hope…I don’t know. I hope. Also I worked hard to try and make it funny, both because that’s how I keep myself interested in tasks, and in hopes...
Hay que vivir dos vidas para… Escribo el segundo día de Apagón a sabiendas de que no es necesario porque nuestras mentes están conectadas. Escribo aquí, en el cuaderno que compré durante mi última visita al Chiado de la Ciudad … Sigue leyendo →
