饮料极简主义 多喝热水 🎵 那沙漠里的水 - 方大同 我不喜欢喝白水，总需要水里有点味道，或是咖啡、或是茶、或是啤酒、或是可乐…… 又想喝三得利的无糖乌龙茶了，打开外卖平台，纠结了半天如何可以更优惠，最后还是没买；站在饮料柜前，选择很多，纠结半天，最后还是买了瓶三得利乌龙茶。 奶茶和可乐，含糖量高，容易得糖尿病；酒伤肝；咖啡和茶喝多了容易睡不着。不管哪一种饮料，都会增加身体的负担，唯有白水是没啥负担的。（除非一下子喝很多） 白水几乎是随处可得的，无论是家里、公司、便利店、火车站……；白水可以有各种温度，也几乎是随处可得的；白水大多时候是最便宜的；白水融入什么，就会变成什么味道。 饮料 极简主义...
Haha, it was week 45. For once I’d be quite happy with a boring, normal week in which I have nothing to talk about. Maybe next week? The most exciting entry on my calendar for next week is a reminder to take out the garbage. Work-wise things keep being slightly irritating and often just weird. Yesterday was a...
From gixy to Gixy-Next gixy is an old static analyzer for nginx configurations, which allows the operator to automatically discover vulnerabilities in statis nginc files. It works by reading the configuration into memory, and performing various static checks on the serialized, full configuration, with plugins...

John Salley stated that Dennis Rodman refused to guard him in his 1992 return to Detroit after being traded to the Miami Heat. I decided to investigate when a couple of things did not add up.
I have been robbed, and I cannot complain. I got the notification today morning that daylight savings has been activated (deactivated?). That was a surprise to me because 1) I didn’t fully understand what that meant, 2) I still don’t fully understand what that means, and 3) I woke up surprisingly fully rested on a...

This is a very handy tip that I stumbled upon today. With the Jellyfin client for Android TV, I could not delete watched movies and episodes. To do so, I would need to log on to the Admin page in my browser and do it from there. This is not very convenient for situations where, for example, the kids have watched...
I just expanded the manual of the modus-themes with complete step-by-step examples on how to define a derivative theme.

Someone in the weather division keeps cranking the saturation up
So, when trying to come up with a topic for today, I had several in mind. One thing I’ve taught myself to do, however, is check my Archives page to ensure I haven’t written about a topic before. Now, I don’t see anything wrong with talking about a topic more than once. Goodness knows, I’ve talked about notes on this...
I’m pretty happy with the look and feel of my website but, looking around the indieweb, I see so many creative and fun websites with neat animations and interactive features. Reader, I was jealous; I wanted my website to be more fun. The flying toasters just weren’t enough anymore. My first thought was to add a...
Embracing the existentialists in the face of subservience to AI.
It’s sublime, to go into another room and make pictures. It’s magic time, where all your weaknesses of character, the blemishes of your personality, whatever else torments you, fades away, just doesn’t matter. You’re doing the one thing you want to do and you do it well and you know you do it well, and… […]
I read Robert's post about The beauty of a simple hello, and could not agree more. So many people move through life in their own bubble. Focusing on their own passage. Ignoring the wider surroundings. For me, I like to embrace life more widely. I often say a random hello to people. It can be as simple as passing...
Tatiana Siegel, Brent Lang, and Matt Donnelly, writing for Variety: The hope is to have a fresh “Star Trek” movie, though the studio has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot. The news probably comes as no surprise to […]
🗓️ // November 2 - November 8, 2024 This week’s Week Notes feel more like proof of life rather than proof of living. If you're following along via RSS, you might notice this post is backdated even though I'm writing it on 11/13, several days after the week technically ended. The truth is, I really didn't want to...
Large language models like ChatGPT are not conscious, but there are other “serious contenders for AI consciousness that exist today” Furthermore, “AI development will not wait for philosophers and cognitive scientists to agree on what constitutes machine consciousness… There are pressing ethical issues we must face...
After starving myself for over twenty-four hours last week ahead of a colonoscopy, this week I once again found myself going without food for a whole day. Unfortunately, this time it wasn’t planned. We’re not sure whether it was food poisoning from the prawn-based dish we cooked on Sunday night or some kind of...
Updates from the Bridge: Saw some of the drama surrounding Omarchy recently and decide to share some thoughts on the distro and distro philosophy in general I've been playing around with my home server (a BeeLink SER8 which I've named Benson... as in Barry Benson) and this weekend decided I wanted to add a window...
I spent the majority of this week at a conference and in dinners and networking events, and as a result, I have fallen woefully behind my regular catching up on news and reading. Opening my RSS reader to see 400 unread articles was a little overwhelming, but it gave me an opportunity to reflect on what I do really...

I just reorganized my library, so what did people gift me for my birthday? More books, of course. I guess nature really hates a vacuum. Apps Affinity. I was fully expecting Canva to radically simplify the Affinity suite, but i wasn’t expecting it to merge the three separate apps into a free all-in-one picture,...
Google wants RSS dead 2025-11-10 I really like RSS. It’s a piece of technology that really embodies the beauty of the web: small, simple, but powerful and ubiquitous as a result. I use RSS every day to find new things to read, by way of Miniflux and NetNewsWire. Here is what I do to subscribe to a website: I go to...
This weekend I knew we needed bread, but I couldn't get myself to the store. I just didn't want to, so I made it homemade instead. We had milk, and while I enjoy and the kids love the everyday bread I wanted something that was a little softer. So I grabbed the church cookbook and moulded 3 recipes into a 4c dough...
A few months ago, in my post Using GitHub as Commenting Platform, 2025 Edition, I explained how GitHub Issues can be used quite easily as a commenting platform: Create a GitHub issue for each post that contains at least the post URL Add a syndication link to the issue on the post page Let Brid.gy and Webmention.io...
Read on the website: Ed is customizable, actually. It can have syntax highlighting, interactive commands, and build/REPL setup. Enter rlwrap.
My morning routine has evolved in a lovely way. It's not complicated, and really centers around 3 essential things after I get out of bed. Yoga, this is compulsory because I've been a desk jockey all my life and my hips have had enough. If I don't do every morning …
Last night I dreamed that I traveled far and wide through many distant lands. What did I see there? A scientist named Professor Meme and his friend, who went by Joe or Jake or if it was Robert—you know how dreams can get fuzzy—and their buddies, a couple of clown comics of yesteryear. They explained to me that...
In my youth, this album was a favorite. I just heard it again this morning I find myself wondering: “Whose ass were they kicking?”
October 2025. Ladybarn. Manchester. That’s my view from a £17 a match season ticket at Manchester City a week ago, for one of the most exciting games I’ve seen at the Etihad. Staying over near Stockport meant I had time to join the 15% of the crowd who stay to the final whistle to applaud… Continue reading LADYBARN...
From a November 4, 2025 CNBC report: Perplexity AI accused Amazon of “bullying” on Tuesday after it received a letter from the e-commerce giant demanding it prevent people from using its artificial intelligence browser Comet to make purchases on their behalf. I do not often agree with Amazon on these sorts of...
Afternoon light across the platforms, tracks leading toward the mountains in the quiet between trains. 午後の光が差し込むホーム、山々へと続く線路、列車と列車の合間の静けさ。
摘抄 0813 Every instant of every day we are bombarded with information. In fact, all complex organisms, especially those with brains, suffer from information overload. Our eyes and ears receive lights and sounds (respectively) across the spectrums of visible and audible wavelengths; our skin and the rest of our...
Two things came together over the past few days. First was my longstanding belief that winters here in the Chicago area were snowier when I was a kid than they are now. I’m not sure why that popped back into my head, but it did. Second was my concern that I’ve been losing my Pandas skills since I retired and stopped...
You write a long document. Perhaps it’s an ad, or a legal contract, or a design document. Problem statement: You would like to ensure, to a certain extent, that your audience has fully read it1. I like the following trick2: insert the following paragraph somewhere in the middle of the document: If you are reading...
