Strava seem to have removed their activity map styles of ‘Black Lives Matter’, ‘Pride’ and ‘Support Ukraine’. Presumably this is part of getting ready for their IPO and not wanting to have a potentially damaging narrative about whether...
Five days ago, I wrote about ordering Copper Moon White Christmas coffee after an entry in my feed reader caught my attention. The coffee has arrived. It arrived as promised, well packaged and all. I appreciate the little postcard with...
A while ago, the European Commission launched a Digital Package on Simplification. The goal was to focus on regulatory and administrative issues in the digital law space ('digital acquis'): Reducing burdens on businesses and citizens,...
Tantra and Ch’an teacher Daniel Odier explained in one of his videos how the unexpected is the doorway to revelation. (This is, again, a very personal post, so if you came here for Linux and Cloud Native shit, you might want to skip.)...

To jest pierwszy z chaotycznej serii wpisów na temat mojego homelaba. Ten mój homelab to tak naprawdę ledwo istnieje, a jego fundamentalne założenia ciągle się zmieniają, ale nie przeszkadza mi to - to nie jest tak, że ktoś mi za to...

Earlier today I was doomscrolling and I came upon a video that was pretty standard Filipino humor: lip syncing to a classic karaoke song about how some other girl is going to snatch up the guy you've got your eye on. What caught me,...
Tech talk ahead. Short version: I've turned off comments and other minor features to improve site performance here because I think AI bots are hogging things. Currently Listening: Jeff Russo “Procession”Reply via email
Posted on November 14, 2025 After I set up my homelab I was casting around for ways to do monitoring and alerting. I didn’t want to use anything that was fiddly to set up, I did want something that could send email and ping my phone, and...

After a few hours the road began to be rough, and the walking grew so difficult that the Scarecrow often stumbled over the yellow bricks, which were here very uneven. Sometimes, indeed, they were broken or missing altogether, leaving...

I wrote about starting Dreaming Spanish earlier this year and wanted to give an update since I've just reached (drum roll) Level 4! I'm currently at around 350 hours of input and watch around 90 minutes of Spanish content per day. So,...
I don't think there is a need for an introduction of this book, as hollywood already has a legendary movie, The Shawshank Redemption, based on this book. Its a pity that I was completely unware of the existence of this book even though I...

I have many concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and LLMs in their present state. I'll elaborate on these concerns in future posts, but I wanted to make it clear that until my concerns are resolved, this is an AI-free blog. I do...
Above the clouds in the Peruvian Andes there is a town named La Rinconada. It holds the title of being the highest year-round settlement in the world. At one point swelling to 30,000 people, the population has dwindled some now near...

When I am in Kansas (my home state) I enjoy going for a drive in the country. I typically depart with a general direction in mind (say Quivera National Wildlife Refuge) but without a specific route for getting there. I'll choose any of a...

As outlined in my previous two posts: scrapers are, inadvertently, DDoSing public websites. I've received a number of emails from people running small web services and blogs seeking advice on how to protect themselves. This post isn't...
I love coming up here and looking down at the Katsura/Oi/Hozu River (it changes names) as it winds its way through the gorge. I've taken many photos from here. 私はここに来て峡谷を縫うように流れる大堰川を見下ろすのが大好きだ。 ここからたくさんの写真を撮ってきた。
My ideal browser 2025-11-14 I love Qutebrowser. It’s a very cool, minimal, get-out-of-my-way kind of tool. Most importantly, it is designed to be used exclusively with the keyboard. But I am missing a few things, mostly things that you...

As the BBC's lawyers try to find a form of words that will appease the Orange Man Across the Water – to the BBC an embodiment of all that is wrong with the world – and thereby avoid having to pay him extremely hefty damages, I find...
You know that moment late into the night when the body, famished for rest, is kidnapped from the land of sleep by a mind aflame with rumination, paging through the ledger of regrets — the message you shouldn’t have sent, the hand you...

It's been a long few weeks here in the woods, and the main reason is because my body has decided to try and murder me. Well, perhaps murder is too strong a word. Incapacitate is a little closer. The short version is that it is suspected...

November 2025. Eastbourne. Not a great pub town, bar the Lamb, but Eastbourne has Beachy Head up the road, 2 good Spoons, and a gem of an art gallery. Mind, the exterior of the Towner is better than the interior. Only the exceptional...
