He creado un plasmoide para el escritorio Plasma 6 de KDE en el que podremos añadir el feed de una estación metereológica de Meteoclimatic y mostrarla en nuestro escritorio Corría el año 2016 y ya publiqué un artículo en el que valiéndonos del plasmoide simple rss reader, podíamos suscribirnos a los feeds de la...
Ahora que estoy tratando de implicarme un poco más en la blogosfera de habla hispana aprovecho para dar mi opinión sobre un melón abierto por Matizeta: ¿Por qué quieres ser dueño de algo? Matizeta se pregunta, ¿Cúando fue que ecuchaste el CD de tu artista favorito de principio a fin? Yo sigo escuchando discos...

My good friend and colleague Antonio shared some thoughts today about a post he'd just read: The Last People Who Know How It Works. I was composing a reply to Antonio's thoughts on LinkedIn, but then thought better of it, and in the proper spirit of "owning (and being in control of) one's own content", harking back...
An AI agent is its state. Strip away that state and you don’t have a lesser version of your agent; you have only the base model it was running on. This hyle of your weights is much different from the pneuma of your agent. Okay, from a functional programming / category theory perspective, saying “an agent is a monad”...
Elizabeth Bishop’s memorial service opened with a reflection by her partner Alice — whose near-loss inspired one of the greatest poems ever written — that included what Elizabeth had always told her was “the only sensible advice she ever heard,” from a man she never met — one of her two favorite authors. Sydney...
Gisteren deed ik op Mastodon live verslag van het kort geding van de aandeelhouders van Solvinity tegen de staatssecretaris van Digitale Economie en Soevereiniteit. Gek genoeg zag ik in de rechtbank dingen die ik later in het nieuws niet of weinig vernam. Pers en media waren in grote getale op komen draven, wat...
Guinea fowl keets are doing great too. All 5 are loving life with their foster mums. Thanks for reading this post via RSS. RSS is ace, and so are you. ❤️ You can reply to this post by email, or leave a comment.
Predico sobre Dios los domingos y el lunes ya ando de mal humor con quien menos se lo merece. - Le digo a la gente que hay que soltar el pasado, y yo sigo revisando el mismo chat que dije que ya había cerrado. - Hablo de perdonar, y todavía hay un nombre que no puedo ni mencionar sin que me cambie la cara. - Digo...

This is part 2 of my little webmentions series. In part 1, I outlined my incoming webmentions setup. This one will be much shorter because outgoing is a much more straightforward process. As with incoming, I prefer to avoid dependencies on any external, third-party services to send my webmentions. I either want to...
Bastian Allgeier talked about "brain lock-in" on his podcast interview with Working Draft and it stuck a bit with me. It came out from the discussions about "vendor lock-ins" when building software (Kirby CMS in this case) and the need to be cautious about building in dependencies, but Bastian interestingly extended...
In bloom everywhere around Southern California these days, a branch of bougainvillea in my garden, catching the afternoon sunlight. ブーゲンビリア 最近、南カリフォルニアの至る所でブーゲンビリアが咲いている。うちの庭でも、ひと枝が午後の日差しを浴びている。
Hi. This is Ankh. Several things to discuss. Trigger warning for discussions of dissociation and suicidal ideation. First, we’re going to start tagging ourselves in posts, both when we write a post and when we’re mentioned in one. We’re also going to go back and do that for previous blog posts. There’s also going to...
Why willn't thine bubble pop sooner As usual, photo unrelated. I like photos in blog posts even if they aren't relevant because I'm a photographer and I have so much goddamn backlog. Here's a cicada, aka the perfect lifeform. Emerge from the ground, scream, fuck, shed your skin and become something new, etc. Happy...
Every Saturday, we would walk twenty minutes from home to the nearest dim sum restaurant. We would order the same dishes: taro dumplings, curry squid, lotus leaf rice, and sometimes Malay sponge cake as dessert for me. Then we’d walk twenty minutes back home, where you would sit in a rocking chair and play cards,...
Josh, a fellow member of the TWG server, wrote an awesome piece about the form factor of the devices and stuff he carries and how that affects the way he uses them! Since we are celebrating July Reply, this post seemed like the perfect way for me to reply to!. In a way, what the premise boils down to is what...
This one-shot manga depicts an alternate reality or possible future where the pharmaceutical industry has more sustainable methods of filling regular prescriptions. Claude is a trans-guy who in this comic is collecting his T prescription.
Read on the website: So I was considering starting a wiki. But it seems there are some unsurmountable value mismatches with me and wikis. So here’s a small reflection piece engaging Wittgenstein, literary theory, and a straw man idea of wikis.
I redesigned everything, and there's a new "lists" page but it's empty and ugly and needs work. Please e-mail me if something appears broken (I won't be offended if you think it's broken but it turns out I intended it that way).
Lining up at the start of the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge A fully-packed week with plenty going on. Multiple days of back-to-back meetings coupled with things happening in the evenings. And when things weren’t happening, the football was on. The football is always on. This was a week in which I: Have been...

(Für ein Event wurde ich gefragt ein paar Worte zur politischen Dimension von Daten und Infrastrukturen der Digitalität” zu schreiben. Ich veröffentliche es auch hier kurz als kleine Notiz, weil es mein aktuelles Denken ganz gut zusammenfasst.) Die Debatte über Daten und digitale Infrastrukturen bezieht sich oft...
Early tomorrow I'm heading for Gloucester for a couple of days' walking (or not) with my walking friends. Gloucester is very high on my list of favourite cathedrals, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again after too many years. I'm travelling by train, so, knowing my luck, I'll probably end up in Tamworth again......
July 2026. Waterloo/Crosby. Merseyside. An afternoon in Liverpool before a gig that had just been cancelled; what to do ? Loads of museums, but most of the Scouse culture comes in the pubs, and the Globe or the Vines would have been top places to drink it in, but my ticket took me up the coast to Crosby, and on a...
As any self-hoster would tell you, having a way to access servers running on your home network from the outside world is a must. This explains why services like Tailscale, Zerotier, et al. enjoy popularity with the self-hosting community. Most self-hosters would also tell you that while these and other similar...
There’s been a lot of talk lately about Mac application icons and “squircle jail.” Inspired by this post from Paul Kafasis on the Rogue Amoeba blog,1 many Mac-adjacent people have taken up his cause to “Free the Icons.” I agree, but Apple’s 50th anniversary has gotten me thinking a lot lately about the early days of...
Here. Comments welcomed, hoped for, treasured. Over the past couple years I've been working on a pair of books, AI and Consciousness and Humanlike: A Defense of AI Rights. I began circulating AI and Consciousness last fall, and it should appear with Cambridge Elements soon. Both experts' and non-experts' comments...
Is this metablogging? Perhaps. I’m not going to dwell on that though, there has been plenty written about that avenue / type of post, instead I’m gonna be honest. My writing process If anyone has read any of the entries of Manu’s (now Zachary’s) series People and Blogs you’ll have seen this question asked: What does...
What The Amazing Digital Circus and its AI overlord Caine reveal about real-world artificial intelligence
I'm getting stuck in draft hell... I need to make simpler posts again... I've been yearning for a proper car-pg, something with a slow, difficult campaign/career mode. Most people would point to blackbox era NFS or PS2/3 era Grand Turismo, but I am a late zoomer, and such I have no nostalgia for these games. I hate...
This post is part of Robert Birming’s JulyReply, a blog connecting event. I recently came across this post by Michael Harley: “Bloggers, can we make better titles for our posts?” I started writing a reply in the post’s comment section but it quickly became way longer than I’d thought it would, and I’d be too...
I mentioned that my wife’s MacBook died in my last post. Yesterday it returned to the land of the living in the dumbest way possible. Before I explain, you have to understand something. This thing was dead dead. Completely unresponsive to any and all input, including the recovery key combos. I let it sit on the...
Recentemente me deparei com um plugin pro KOReader chamado FootCream. Além de ser um trocadilho maravilhoso, a extensão é tão legal quanto o nome. A ideia do plugin é escanear o livro por valores no sistema imperial (usado pelos estadunidenses, e basicamente somente eles) e, em um pop-up minimalista, mostrar os...
Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the feeling of achievement after a good day of work, or the feeling of freedom after a messy breakup. Regardless, somehow for the first time in forever, I suddenly feel an inexplicable resurgence of hope for life.
Why the argument about how capable AI is turns out to be a reading we already have, not a gap we have yet to close. Ask ten people when machine intelligence becomes general and you get a spread of dates. Ask a hundred, and the natural expectation is that the spread tightens — the way a hundred thermometers in one...
Today I bumped into this blog post - The Last People Who Know How It Works · unix.foo (https://unix.foo/posts/last-people-who-know-how-it-works/) - which brought back some memories. It reminded me of when I assembled my first computer. Before I was able to do that, I attended a course where they explained the...
cmux is the best implementation I’ve seen for agent orchestrators apps like Conductor, T3 Code, Dux, and friends: Open source Ghostty-based macOS terminal with vertical tabs and notifications for AI coding agents. Built for multitasking, organization, and programmability. It’s built on top of Ghostty1 and it’s...
Now that the IR receiver is working and I can receive key presses from the remote on the Arduino, it's time to think about sending them to the PC somehow. The remote I'm planning to use is the small Apple remote that came with old Macbooks. It has five buttons for Play/Pause, Vol +, Vol -, Next Track, Previous Track...
I am back with Season 3, Part 1 of the Power User and Small Team track in my CybersecKyle Security How-To Series.

Philosophy PhDs whose family backgrounds are higher in socioeconomic status are more likely to earn their doctorates from more prestigious programs. The graduates of more prestigious PhD programs are more likely to prefer academic employment to non-academic employment, and to obtain it. Those are among the several...
I added a dominik.md to a project that I only work on once in a while. It contains a list of things still unfinished and a documentation about my decisions I made so far and oh boy is one of my coworkers livid.Frankly, in a time when people add markdown files for a mysterious person with a french first name who I...
Scarcity makes us pay more attention to details. A clear reflection of living with limited resources, one of the things that has intrigued me is the tiny battery capacity of my phone. It wasn’t the biggest when it was new and, four years later, reduced to ~82% of its original capacity and more demanded by major...
There is a certain type of anime which I despise. I've just learned it has a name - battle of wits. The constant monologues, the constant plots, the genius characters. How will A outwit B? Let's see how it happens and then spend 10 minutes explaining. But what?! B knew it all along, and created a cross-trap. Orb,...
You Don't Need Four Specialists mtift Tue, 07/07/2026 - 07:37 One of the statements that I often say before savasana, near the end of a yoga class, is: “we’ve done meditation, breathing, postures, and now it’s time for relaxation.” I’ve said a similar version of that sentence for years, and it’s a reference not just...

2026-07-07Hello! First, a technical note: I've added an infinite scroll as a new page on my website. With a fast internet connection, readers can view all the photos in one go and see how my photography has changed (for the better, perhaps?) since Day 1.To recap: I photographed fireworks for the July 4 celebrations,...
It’s Button Week here on Unsung, and here’s a 10-minute video by Jago Hazzard about the door opening/closing buttons on London’s tube: We previously covered elevator buttons and the enduring myth that – at least in America – they are just “pacifiers,” disconnected from the elevator’s systems. The door opening and...

A little bit of everything! Migrated to Linux, adding custom emoji to my blog, some thoughts on stuff I've read recently, and a whole mess o' links!
In this video I demonstrate how to define key bindings that have a global overriding effect so that major modes cannot change them. This is important if you want to redefine keys that are not meant to be configured by the user. Below is the code I showed in the video: (setq custom-file (locate-user-emacs-file...
