FastMail is a good, Google-free provider of e-mail, calendar services, and the like. But it isn't the only one, and it's due for a price increase in 2025. Is it time to switch?

The short version For decades, governments and organizations could run services based on servers we actually owned. These days, we’ve allowed the IT world to convince us no computing is possible outside of US-style clouds, for which we have no European equivalents. And because of this conviction, we are now moving...

He leído “Deja que te susurre algo verde” una recopilación de relatos de José Galindo Gómez editada por Tébar Flores en su colección Terralibri. El conjunto es bastante equilibrado, con relatos más optimistas y otros algo más duros, en la línea de lo que pudimos leer en Relatos Ecoanimalistas o las reflexiones que...

Listen to the 'Accessibility' Link is a Lie It should be noted that I utterly loathe corporations. It's important, though, to keep in mind when reading, that a corporation looks and acts very differently than a small business trying to do the right thing. In the corporate world, there's a special kind of lie. It's...

Website-documentation of the in situ piece “Comment j’ai appris à ne plus m’en faire et à aimer la révolution” by Marc Buchy.

let's be honest. people that work at tech are obsessed with impact. we live by metrics, fight for roadmap items that will "move the needle", and feel a genuine rush when we ship something that customers love. we pour our evenings, our focus, and our creative energy into building something of value. but then, a...

I came across this brilliant little MacStories article on using a tiny 8BitDo Game Controller for automation and control on a Mac. “What a neat idea!”, I thought. “I have one of those, I’ll see if I can use it for anything.” Sadly, I got a bit confused about how to set this up and so I want to add the missing pieces...

La Gnosis y las Escuelas de AutoconocimientoEn la antigüedad autoconocimiento = ciencia = espiritualidad. En la actualidad no reconocemos que estamos conectados con todo lo que nos rodea; las personas, la naturaleza, las historias. Esa desconexión dicta el ritmo de vida de la persona promedio en la actualidad...

Last weekend, planted firmly on my regular spot in NUE, waiting for something to capture, I was wondering about a sudden, and seemingly inexplicable, increase in number of blurry frames. To paraphrase: We have met the culprit, and he is us. I glanced at my lens and noticed that the VR switch was set to OFF. 🤦‍♂️ No...

Every time I set up a new Mac, I follow a specific process to install my command-line programming tools. My goal is simple: create a development environment that closely mirrors the RHEL web servers I work with daily. This guide outlines that process. This guide outlines how to install three prerequisites to working...

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth...

I share photos of test prints - an art board print and coasters.

This week we lost Ozzy, less than three weeks after he was on stage for his farewell concert. That was quite a shock, because while he definitely looked frail due to his illness, he didn't look like a man who was going to die two weeks later. The outpouring of love and appreciation for him throughout the music world...

There's an old interview with the Olsen Twins that lives rent-free in my brain. In it, the girls, who are about five at the time, are being interviewed by Regis and Kathie Lee (remember them?). The interviewers are struggling because the twins aren't your stereotypical precocious stage children. They're shy and...

Un variopinto genere musicale. Bene, se vi interessano le definizioni oggettive potete fermarvi qui, perché tutto il resto è pure più personale del solito.

The yellow bits are chub Back in May I had a DEXA scan done. I liked how the radiographer made me turn my toes in for the scan. It enhances the unsportsmanlike physique. I had absolutely no idea what my fat to muscle ratio would be or, even what it should be. I suspected there would be room for improvement. The DEXA...
