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).
Mise en Place 06 Apr, 2026 Putting in place, a French culinary term I scoffed at as a home cook. I considered it a fancy step done by those who have never had to wash their own dishes, all the dainty little containers for every single...
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...
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...
The problem of high level playWhy do players struggle when they leave the dungeon and enter the wider world? RPG provocateur Sam Sorensen’s bsky thread on domain play prompted my thinking here. It's enough of a complete thought-arc that...

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 say that I don't write every day to maintain relevance would be a lie. I do want to stay relevant to my readers, but not for anyone else's sake—only for (You). Thankfully, my site is structured so that those who wish to leave can...

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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
I am back with Season 3, Part 1 of the Power User and Small Team track in my CybersecKyle Security How-To Series. This time we are treating accounts like assets: inventory them, remove stale access, and stop handing out admin rights like...
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...

A propos this, philosopher John Dupre writes with an update: The redundancy project is continuing at Exeter, with at least a heartening level of resistance from staff and the staff union. There is some hope that they will succeed: a lot...
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...
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...
Today I wiped my MacBook Pro to factory defaults. I love the feeling of a freshly wiped computer, a blank slate to start fresh with. A chance to break away from bad file organization habits, remove unneeded login items and cleanup the...

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...
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...

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...

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...
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...
