Coleccionismo y acumulación Matizeta nos trae un tema del que había visto poco acá en las redes blogueras, y que mueve mucho las fibras psicológicas. La línea delgada entre coleccionar cosas, y luego acumular. El coleccionismo social, donde muchas personas nos unimos a algo en común. Y también ese sentimiento de...
The moment when you finally deploy a change on which you worked over some days, trying to think through every possible use case and scenario, and you just hope it’s working flawlessly. 🙏 Such a moment was just now for me! I finally and drastically improved image optimization with GoBlog. Responsive images and AVIF...
My friend Edward Mendelson knows more about Auden than anyone ever has, and probably more than anyone ever will. Certainly he knows far more about Auden than I do. Keep that in mind through what follows. Some years ago Mendelson wrote an essay about Auden’s secret acts of kindness and charity, an essay that contains...
I've been thinking a lot about publishing photos for myself and my close circle, and in a second iteration of memories. The principal lines of thought are these: Privacy This is obviously the main thing, but to put up photos online we kinda renounce the notion of privacy. I already settle for owning the platform...
I think I say this every year, but I'm really not a fan of summer. At least not when it's over 30°C, that's just too hot for me. Well we just had a week of 30°C and more, and it's not even June yet! If that's the temperature in May, I'm really not looking forward to what we get in July and August... maybe it won't...
John Lanchester at the London Review of Books: Since fewer and fewer people are using banknotes, it follows logically that fewer banknotes are needed, and therefore that fewer banknotes are being printed and put into circulation. Right? Wrong. In the UK, there is £1300 cash in circulation for every single one of us,...

Una mezcla de eventos personales e información interesante. Quizás le cambie el nombre más adelante.
You’ll find me suspended in the pause between heartbeats and the beat of a worn drum. Searching for what was sacrificed to reach the complacency of tomorrow, to recollect the fragments of a youth spent wanting, yielding the better parts of myself in service of all I thought I needed to be. I’ve become that which...
2026-05-28Hello! Short article today. I've talked enough of this historical factory, the annual market event, and the field that surrounds it.In the upper floor of the factory, I saw this room. It was as dark as the photo makes it out to be. It actually reminds me of the abandoned warehouse scene from Disney's Big...
A day filled with simple good things and a tangent about Sigur Rós.Currently Listening: Sigur Rós “Hoppípolla”Reply via email
from the breeze against my skin, I sense the [north] edging into inescapable heat, rushing in bursts between rain and faint rainbows. I am transported back to the first days of spring, when the chip of winter fell from her shoulders.
Looking over the Kamogawa river and Sanjo Ohashi bridge at blue hour after sunset. The paper lanterns on the outdoor dining terraces (kawayuka) are all aglow. 日没後のブルーアワー、鴨川と三条大橋を眺める。川床の紙提灯がすべて灯っている。
If you customise Tmux a lot, inevitably you will run out of ways to cleanly map keys (or they have become a mess) and you will yearn for another “leader” or “prefix” to bind to moar mappings. For some, it’s a case of when, not if. My current 1 recommendation: meta+key. By “meta” I mean option / alt and by “key” I...
Last Tuesday, I completed my latest PACT: Committing at least once a day to the Morgenblau repo (the RSS reader I’m building) and posting about it over on Bluesky for 30 days. Whilst I’m nowhere near a finished product, I did make significant progress: Moved off TanStack Start to Laravel + React Eventually also...
“If you are now wondering where to look for consolation, where to seek a new and better God… he does not come to us from books, he lives within us… This God is in you too. He is most particularly in you, the dejected and despairing.” “Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life — is the...
Rishabh made an AI blog question challenge and invited me to fill it out. Let's go! 1. How was your first experience with AI models? I used to have fun playing around with NeuralBlender, and used it to inspire glitch art of mine that I drew. Back when ChatGPT launched, I used it to teach myself HTML and CSS. 2. Do...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. NOTE: I’m pretty public about my “AI” skepticism, but there are a handful of people I trust to have informed, nuanced takes that help challenge and refine my own thinking. (Two are featured below.) I’ve also had several private conversations with friends and colleagues about...
W3C today announced that Seth Dobbs is stepping down as CEO of the organization. — W3C leadership transition. When moving fast, talking is the first thing to break, by Dave Rupert.

Now that BlogMore is so obviously feature-complete and there's nothing else I could possibly need to add to it... here's v2.32.0 with a quick new feature. The work to add the relatedness of posts got me wondering about other things that could be measured about the content of posts, and a bit of reading and looking...
Boredom is mostly seen as something negative. We want to kill boredom, because it feels bad. It is the signal that we are starved of engaging activities. My view on boredom is different now from when I was younger. Although the feeling itself is still uncomfortable, it is a privileged position to be in, because it...
So I have a few sites with SiteGround. They’re largely sites that don’t get a huge amount of traffic (with the exception of All Rumble Stats, which gets 20k a month). Hosting is a bit like your bank account or your broadband provider: they are there and as long as you don’t do much to annoy them, then you stick with...

Time passes, and human civilisation is slowly heading towards destruction. Some of the most significant forces in the world are religions, and it is their duty to do what they do best: recruit Earth’s entire population before the inevitable end!In Religion, the Board Game, you play as one of five ^^Religions^^...

This is my monthly link dump, a regular monthly series containing a mix of links to interesting blog posts I’ve read from the past month covering arts & culture, myth, folklore, landscape punk, hauntology, anarchism, utopianism, the gothic, neo-fabulism, and the Weird - all discovered through my RSS feed reader...
Abstract Identity puzzles like the Ship of Theseus turn on two questions, not one. The first is a question of ground: in virtue of what does an object remain the same—the persistence of its matter, or the persistence of its form? The second is a question of cardinality: how many bearers is the situation allowed—one...
I’m playing together a cover/strap for my small water bottle so that I can wear it on my walks and trips to the gym etc. I’ve started and frogged this so many times, every time finding some way to make it better. I don’t mind the tangle of threads on my lap, warped by the crochet stitches, in fact, I love it. It’s a...
How do we secure massive, complex supply chains without slowing your developers down to a crawl? This talk provides a simple preview to Red Hat’s Trusted Software Supply Chain, based on three pillars: Transparency through the Trusted Profile Analyzer; Identity, thanks to the Trusted Artifact Signer; and Guardrails,...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Christ, a few Daily Dex posts ago I was like "I wanna do these a bit more on a schedule" and then got distracted by time off work, going to a few movies, cleaning my house etc so - here's fucking eight pokemon I drew over the last week+, finally...
I like passkeys. Let me get that out of the way first.Passkeys are one of the better authentication improvements we have seen in years. They reduce password reuse, make phishing harder, and remove one of the ugliest parts of account security: the shared secret. A password is something you know, something you can...
The heat wave of the past few days has also hit this part of Europe, and judging by your blog posts and social media updates, we’re not the only ones dealing with it here in Germany (warm and sweaty greetings to England). The little stream in front of our house is clearly running low on water, and overall, it’s much...
It’s been a while since I’ve done a post sharing what my home screen looks like, and a lot has changed since then. Last year I shared what’s on my phone, but it was more of a listicle that didn’t really go into the reasoning behind my choices. In any case, that’s what I plan to do here. at least for the homescreen I...
Eu tenho reparado ultimamente em cores, não em algo específico mas quando eu estou no ônibus eu tenho esse tempo de reparar em muita coisa e cores tem sido algo que eu tenho notado demais esses dias. A princípio eu comecei a reparar como os carros na rua não tem cor. Toda sequência de carros que você repara agora é...
I have blogged before about why I like to support as many of the small, independent developers that I can. Specifically those who develop software that I actually use. Nothing is really free, and people have taken a lot of time and effort to produce some of the amazing tools I use every day. Of course, as part of...

Favorited I learned about an interesting YouTube video about visual novels titled A Defense of Visual Novels: What are They and What They Do Well through an email exchange with the creator. I have been collecting materials for a future article on making the most of the visual novel medium, so I can now add this...
Ayer cambié el color de acento del blog (quien vea el sitio Web se habrá dado cuenta ya), y he vuelto a virar a tonos melocotón, como hice el año pasado, aunque este año lo he adelantado mucho respecto del pasado. Y tiene su razón. El calor de estos días ha precipitado que haya pasado del mood de primavera a algo...
Getting curl developers and related enthusiasts into a single room to hang out in the real world for a whole weekend once a year is awesome. We find inspiration, we share experiences, we learn from each other and we dream and plan of future endeavors and things to work on. Seeing faces, hearing voices and watching...
At this time last year, I was scrambling so hard to get everything done that I straight up closed the library for the last week and a half of school. This year, I'm better at my job. Better enough that instead of closing the library, I'm mostly sitting here being bored in it. It is a library. It is hard to stay...
Me está dejando de gustar trabajar de programador, gracias IA Mis primeros recuerdos como programador son de cuando era bastante niño, con el Spectrum y su libro de Basic que me regalaron mis padres. Después de ahí vino Perl, PHP, Javascript y Python. Siempre de forma autodidacta, leyendo tutoriales y documentación...

You might hear someone say “I ran hydro to that building” or “they put new hydro lines in.” Water? No. Electricity. Why?!“Hydro” is a shortening of “hydroelectricity,” which is electricity generated from dams using gravity and a turbine. In Ontario, the word gained popularity when the Hydro-Electric Power Commission...
May 2026. Sibiu. Central Romania. Sadly for my readers keen to read about Wetherspoons breakfasts and suburban Bass houses, the law of the diary-based blog requires I get to the end of this Romanian week, so come back, ooh, next Monday if you’re bored of nasty foreign bars. Sibiu doesn’t have any cask beer, so...
Do you remember the video I once shared about making a song in Strudel? I recently stumbled upon this 20-minute YouTube video by iSongs of someone recreating Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” in GarageBand on their iPhone: Like the previous video, I believe this is so tight as it was previously rehearsed/prepared, which...
Această scrisoare este pentru tehnologie, pentru altceva poate o să apară în viitor. Nu știu exact de unde să încep, dar am simțit de ceva timp că trebuie să scriu asta. Nu pentru că ar fi ceva spectaculos de spus, ci pentru că e ceva ce merită spus cu voce tare, sau măcar scris undeva unde să rămână. Mulți dintre...
Recently, I've been blowing bubbles at work while on break. I sit in this sweet little park outside my office building, and blow bubbles to de-stress. Of course, children react positively -- they smile at me and try to pop the bubbles, or light up when they see my bubble wand. Most adults ignore me, but some are...
As much as the Right accuses the Left of "identity politics," leftists also accuses the Left of identity politics whenever anyone suggests that tensions in society are not limited to and complicate that one between proletariat and bourgeoisie.
I read a lot of blog posts in my RSS reader of choice —NetNewsWire— but for those I want to revisit I tend to open the post directly in Safari so I can go back to it later. Yes, I KNOW, there are a myriad of ‘read later’ apps available. The trouble is that some […]Thanks for reading and keeping RSS alive. Visit my...
