Con la reciente e histórica visita de Trump a China se ha vuelto a poner sobre la mesa el futuro de Taiwan. Mientras que EEUU siempre ha visto a la pequeña isla como un aliado frente al gigante chino, estos últimos la dan por anexionada...
Une semaine riche en vidéos, en candidatures pour trouver du taff et en administratif. J’ai failli sauter la semaine et au final regain d’énergie pour tout éditer ce mardi ! Je redoute la première semaine loupée, alors que je devrais...
Oh, dear -- another server for the Gemini protocol. What use can that possibly be?
tl;dr: With panoramax.libre.net.ar we have set up the first (public) Panoramax instance in the Americas. It allows the collection of street-level imagery in the Argentine territory. Una versión en español es disponible en OpenStreetMap...

it’s as though i forgot too soon. not forgot. forgotten would have meant having no memory of other lips on mine — their texture, their warmth, the breath i steal. it would have meant not knowing the sound of my name from a deep voice,...
Have you ever found yourself -- a nearly-thirty-four-year-old man -- standing naked in a dark bathroom because the power went out when you were halfway through scrubbing three gross pairs of Crocs while you showered? And were you...

In the navigation, a new section for "later folktales": folktales which are mostly prose but include some runosong lines. I added more to "kade" in glossary explaining how it's similar to the evil eye. In cosmology, added a page for...

2026-05-03（日） **本次高光：**轮转稽古的时候打到了去年年末友谊赛冠军一本面。 最近拿到了教士称号的 MY老师说我最好的地方就是会积极地找所有的老师稽古。还记得去年我刚开始一周二到三练的时候，他夸我进步很快，还说一定要帮助我变得更强，这让我怎么能不更积极地去向各位老师讨教。 2026-05-06（水） 黄金周给自己定下了稽古两次的目标，轻松达成了。 最后一天久违地去了 K剑，和好久不见的 KI大叔地稽古了，发现我可以看到他的一举一动，甚至打出了几本...

So the other day I started something new, to coax creativity out of me. I made dotty art, wrote about that on the blog last week or so. And I loved it. So much that I bought a larger canvas and some new markers with a dot and a brush...
If you're even remotely into Kubernetes, you've probably heard about the ingress-nginx retirement. It's no longer maintained so it has to get replaced with something else. That something else is obviously something to do with Gateway API...
Payment terminals, ATMs, Amazon, international transfers, currency exchange apps. Whenever you get the choice, never agree to an automatic currency conversion. It's called Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), and it works like an airport...
Tonight I'm feeling rather flat. I'm normally a happy, cheery, efervescente kind of guy, but tonight nothing interests me. There's no specific reason. I'm just listless. I always have so many little projects and activities on the go, but...

Zine#49 🎶 嘿！岛 (Black Island) - 表情银行 MimikBanka 启明星 一定很孤独吧 孤独中 搁浅的你我啊 黑暗里 望眼欲穿向白昼 漫漫长夜 教我如何不泪流 浑浊的 黑夜赐予我疼痛 这疼痛 像雪一样正消融 睡魔啊 他唱着遗忘的歌谣 破晓时 就带走我的噩梦 哎呀呀 漫漫长夜 教我如何不泪流 闪电划破阴天 晨光驱散黑夜 在这世界的普通角落 我满不在乎地活下去 和你一起 和你一起 浑浊渐渐沉淀 一切清晰可见 在超越绝望的远方 比希望更远的地方...
Previously. I’ve been self-hosting atuin for quite a while now. As such, I no longer need an account in the official server (created a long time ago). Problem statement: delete that account. Note that I am currently logged into my...
Today was my third presentation here. It means I have only one more to go before I can leave this place and pretend it never existed. It did not go how I planned or how I hoped it would go, and that knowledge is making me writhe in...

A recent visit to Teotihuacán — the ancient Mesoamerican city in present-day Mexico, built by earlier cultures around 600 BCE and later rediscovered by the Aztecs — left me wonder-smitten by the see-saw of our search for truth and our...
I see that the charity Butterfly Conservation is running a poll to find Britain's Favourite Butterfly. At present, the Peacock is leading the vote, unsurprisingly, and in second place I'm delighted to see the Orange Tip, ahead of the Red...

La otra vez en reunión con amigos, uno comentaba que había borrado la app de Instagram de su móvil pero que no podía volver a instalarla porque no recordaba su contraseña, ni siquiera con que email se había registrado. A lo que muchos...
This is a very strange essay. Alex Rosenberg writes that narrative history “fails to explain anything because it attributes causal responsibility for the historical record to factors that contemporary neuroscience reveals to be fictions...
Any arrangement of stabilized commitments operating in an environment that changes faster than the commitments do will eventually face a structural problem: how to acknowledge that operational practice has drifted from the commitments...

初体验这次做了一个基于 Nexus 的激战2中文转换插件： https://github.com/DayuGuo/lang5-nexus-cn 起因是 lang5 原版插件在 macOS 上的兼容性不太理想，而 Nexus 系列插件对 macOS 和 Linux 的支持都比较好，所以我就尝试把它迁移到 Nexus 框架下。 之前我做过不少 WordPress 插件，但游戏插件还是第一次尝试，体验很不一样。 一开始，我也试过直接优化 lang5...
