I do not enjoy Commander. I know that's the way everyone likes to play these days and what most of the events are. The whole reason it's played so readily is because you can use your older cards from a much wider pool than standard. I know about Pioneer, Pai Gow, Modern, Pauper, etc. I don't have any friends that...
The new iA Writer is excellent. I love the command palette.https://ia.net/topics/search-to-navigateAlso it looks like they added the option to change the highlight color, which of course I immediately changed to green.Reply via email

En esta versión 22 de Agama, el nuevo instalador de openSUSE/SUSE, las novedades se han centrado en pulir la interfaz de usuario, aunque también se ha trabajado en otras áreas. El pasado 16 de junio se anunció la nueva versión de Agama. Veamos qué mejoras han incluido en Agama 22. Rediseño de ciertas partes de la...
It’s been a whirlwind. All these ideas in my head, all these desires and none of the skill to execute. I’ve always tried to stay curious. Learn. If someone else can do it, what is preventing me from doing the same, or better? Copy. Deconstruct. Question. What I’ve achieved over the past couple of months is – by my...
I have been thinking a lot lately about this blog, the things I publish here, and how I share them with everyone afterward.I enjoy writing. Sometimes I am explaining a cybersecurity issue that I believe deserves more attention. Other times I am documenting a technical problem I had to solve, sharing something...
Everyone talks about how people are lonely because they're missing a "third place." I grew up in a town where the only "third place" was either church or the mall, but lately my town has been making more of an effort to get people to leave their homes. Close to my parents' house they built this little place that has...
Sadly couldn't attend re:publica 26, but the talks have been recorded and uploaded on YouTube. If you don't know: It's a conference in Germany with workshops and talks that deal with internet topics, specifically digital rights, media culture, online presences like blogs or social media, and our general information...
Where we go when we go to sleep and why we go there is one of the great mysteries of the mind. Why the mind at times refuses to go there, despite the pleading and bargaining of its conscious owner, is a greater mystery still. We know that ever since REM evolved in the bird brain, the third of our lives we spend...
I looked at the words I’d spent a year exsanguinating. There were rivulets of loathing—a rainbow of rust—but there was a smattering of red and yellow and green, too. I thought the capillaries would become rich with prismatic brilliance now that the murk had been drawn out. Now’s your chance, I thought. Now you can...
From the moment the technology arrived to allow personal digital assistants (PDAs)1 a connection to the internet, people started connecting them to the internet, as is the natural order of things. Initially their connections were just for the most fledgeling of information fetching, but as the ’90s progressed and...
You’ve probably heard the term. It’s meant to convey how difficult it can be to start something. “Blank page paralysis”. But for my money, beginning is easy. Finishing is the hard part. In software, they call it “the last 90%”. In logistics, they call it “the last mile”. It’s that final stretch that’s...
We recently had a test photo shooting with our wedding photographer. The photos that came out of this session are beautiful. I took the chance to finally update my profile picture (the last one was from 2022) with a cropped version of one of the new photos. My appearance has actually changed quite a bit, especially...
A chronicle of country-music legend Johnny Cash’s life, from his early Arkansas-cotton-farm days to his rise to fame with Sun Records in Memphis, where he recorded alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. The story about the Man in Black masterfully played by Joaquin Phoenix and for which Reese...
I am back from Chennai. It was fun meeting lots of students, hearing what they think, etc. This time I met some old-time friends, which was a bonus. Conducting the workshop was also fun. I hope to build on that workshop to demystify LLMs further and offer it again. In the last week, I had not attended to my email...
I miss being outside. I miss pre-pandemic me. I miss public daylight events in the old downtown area that felt like this picture. The sun setting, some weird band playing on the stage, me and a couple of friends sitting by the riverside, the breeze keeping us cool. Friends are now all living in other states or...
I've been trying, on and off, copilot.el. I'm kind of 50/50 on it most of the time. Sometimes it seems to really understand the code around what I'm working on and does a good job of helping complete the thing I'm about to type; other times it makes wild predictions that just annoy me and get in the way. It's...
June 2026. Cambridge. Dad’s appetite was back on Sunday afternoon, and ours was raised by the sight of the Wrestlers opposite our £25 Travelodge on Newmarket Road, a rare Cambridge bargain. Charlie Wells have subtly worsened the sign after what feels like 30 years, but the menu is unchanged since my first Pad Thai...
Bubbles —a site I am increasingly fond of as it’s turning up some wonderful posts and sites and people— was recently mentioned on Hackernews. I’ve followed Hackernews for a long time as a way to keep some form of view on the tech world (to which I am adjacent) but only check it every week or so. So I missed the...

In the end, it wasn’t even close. I rarely talk about politics here. Not real reason – I believe we should talk more about politics and how things affect us: a blanket “no politics” rule kills a safe space for marginalised communities, but for whatever reason I feel like the permanent nature of blogs and the...
I love Metroid. While I was aware of emulation from a young age, thanks to Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64, I never quite understood that there’s more emulators out there besides the old Project 64 until an older friend showed me his computer running them. Along Pokémon Fire Red and Final Fantasy I & II, Metroid...
2026-06-19Hello!It's fitting that today is a federal holiday in the US, and I meant to publish article for Juneteenth today. I ended up publishing that article a few days prior, and it's more connected to the history that I learned regarding Juneteenth.While traveling north, I stopped by Augusta, the capital of...
I was recently reading Max Justicz’s blog post, where he outlined how he was able to hack the unpkg.com CDN by getting the service to extract a tar file which contained: A symlink to a directory on the system, followed by a file in the symlink/directory, A hardlink pointing to a known file on the system, followed by...
Even the dullest of people—like myself—are bound to learn a thing or two if they spend the whole summer working for Albert in the backroom of Benny’s Vacuum and Fax Machine Repairs, which is a small and typically empty business, smack in the middle of Widgeons Crossing.The learning never really stops when one works...
I wrote an essay for The Empty Cup about longplays Read it at The Empty Cup
The next best thing to actually visiting a museum My memories of my younger years are largely lost to time. What little I can recall, is mostly what other people remembered about a younger me. I hope you’ll enjoy this secondhand memory I remember via my mom, about a visit to our museum of natural history, Naturalis....
Hoje eu acordei pensando: "E se eu me render finalmente a IA?" Por sorte eu estava sonhando e acordei logo de um dos piores pesadelos que eu já tive nos últimos tempos. Nada pior que sonhar com algo realista como isso. Porém com esse pensamento, eu fiquei cogitando, como será que as pessoas realmente usam essa...
(Nota bene, my lunchbreaks for the last while have been occupied by exercise, so the last few entries in this are going to be more like Watching Avatar: The Way Of Water On Juneteenth But Broken Up Into Lunchbreak-Sized Chunks Just So I Don’t Disrupt The Format Of The Series; thank you, as you were) ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ THE...
I took another stab at creating an 11ty site, and this time succeeded. Not only that, but I’ve decided to grow the Neocities blog I made into a work of fiction complete with story and character arc. There are many 11ty tutorials, but the one that caught my eye was this one from Flamed Fury: Create A Static Site...
I've been taking a break from most things creative while I've been doing a lot of reading (those library books aren't going to read themselves, except for the books on tape ones), but I did buckle down and do a little art work the past few weeks. Since I haven't posted any of them to the blog in a while, I figured...
A seller-side report from the vote market. Yesterday’s essay reconstructed the vote market from its transaction records — responsiveness regressions, the forty-year evangelical purchase, the post-1998 European repricing. Transaction records have a blind spot: they show what cleared, not what it felt like to be the...
A funny and occasionally spicy 15-minute video by Nerrel from October 2024 about some of the nuances and legal fights surrounding Nintendo’s fight with community-made emulators: The video paints Nintendo in the harsh light, highlighting their double standards and willingness to throw their corporate legal weight...
A few months ago, I took my gravel bike apart and put the frame up in the attic. I liked riding it, but I rode it less and less. Earlier in the year I'd been thinking a lot about handlebars, mostly as an aerodynamics thing. My gravel bike was about going fast(er) or at least far(ther) and we all know aero is...
Homebrew Website Club: Eastern June 17 2026Last Thursday, David (an IndieWeb regular) couldn’t make it due to an emergency. Luckily James, another regular, caught me before I went to bed the night before to tell me the technical details on how to host the remote Zoom meeting. It was a success; luckily no technical...
Oops I was too lazy to mark updates for three weeks. First of all, HAPPY MIDSUMMER or Ukonjuhla! I added epithets onto the pages of most deities. I added the runosongs for Origin of the Stone, Origin of Beer, Origin of Rheumatism, Origin of Noita/Shaman, Son of Väinämöinen, and the Berry Song. Added more alternate...
I’ve been thinking about 1984 lately—the year, not the novel. What got me thinking about it was the reduction in gas prices over the past few weeks, and this article in the New York Times about Donald Trump’s declining poll numbers among white working-class voters and how that might affect November’s elections.1...

I was listening to Late Night Linux 390 during my evening walking with the pooches tonight, and they were talking about (among other things) Kagi search. I've tried Kagi myself, but ultimately cancelled my subscription as I didn't really see the point in paying for it when I could get similar results with...
Every year when the summer starts it brings with it guilt. I finish work, come back home from the office, stand in our balcony looking onto the building's little internal patio and wonder: should I be outside, enjoying the summer? Getting your feet wet in the ocean feels like a proper summer activity and, as I lived...
Puede que estas declaraciones te parezcan extrañas, pero ha sido una larga lucha por alcanzar la estabilidad de este pequeño blog. Ten en cuenta que administro casi todo de forma personal, es un VPS, asi que si hay algun problema, sin duda alguna es culpa mia, pero si hay una solucion, esta en mis manos alcanzarla....
