Xe Iaso
I'm Xe Iaso, I'm a technical educator, conference speaker, twitch streamer, vtuber, and philosopher that focuses on ways to help make technology easier to understand and do cursed things in the process. I live in Ottawa with my husband and I do developer relations professionally. I am an avid writer for my blog, where I have over 400 articles. I regularly experiment with new technologies and find ways to mash them up with old technologies for my own amusement.

I don't have any contacts at Zendesk, but I'm noticing another massive wave of spam from their platform: If you're seeing this and either work at Zendesk or know someone that does, please have them actually treat this as an issue and not hiding behind "just delete the emails lol".
Bluetooth headphones are great, but they have one main weakness: they can only get audio streams from a single device at a time. Facts and Circumstances™️ mean that I have to have hard separation of personal and professional workloads, and I frequently find myself doing both at places like coworking spaces. Often I...
I don't know how to properly raise this, but I've gotten at least 100 emails from various Zendesk customers (no discernible pattern, everything from Soundcloud to GitLab Support to the Furbo Pet Camera). Is Zendesk being hacked? I'll update the post with more information as it is revealed.
Hey all! We've got a Discord so you can chat with us about the wild world of object storage and get any help you need. We've also set up Answer Overflow so that you can browse the Q&A from the web. Today I'm going to discuss how we got there and solved one of the biggest problems with setting up a new community or...
I don't like being interrupted when I'm deep in flow working on things. When my flow is interrupted, it can feel like my focus was violently stolen from me and the mental context that was crystalline falls apart into a thousand pieces before it is lost forever. With this in mind, being asked to do a "quick" 5 minute...
My coworkers really like AI-powered code review tools and it seems that every time I make a pull request in one of their repos I learn about yet another AI code review SaaS product. Given that there are so many of them, I decided to see how easy it would be to develop my own AI-powered code review bot that targets...
TL;DR: 2026 is going to be The Year of The Linux Desktop for me. I haven't booted into Windows in over 3 months on my tower and I'm starting to realize that it's not worth wasting the space for. I plan to unify my three SSDs and turn them all into btrfs drives on Fedora. I've been merely tolerating Windows 11 for a...
Recently Sourceware had to disable git clone over HTTP due to an attack where lots of random Git clients are cloning repositories. This was surprising to me, I thought the Git client didn't need any smarts on the server and most of the "magic" was just serving flat files based on the client needs. It turns out that...
Spoiler WarningIf you want to go through the Final Fantasy 14 duty Hell on Rails (Extreme) blind, don't read this guide as it spoils how to easily solve one of the mechanics in it. If you don't play Final Fantasy 14, most of the words in this article are going to make no sense to you and I will make no attempt to...
I just discovered a new way to tell if a blogpost is AI slop or at least if someone blindly copied and pasted commands from Claude Code: the first line of a group of commands isn't indented but the rest are, like this: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt autoremove sudo apt autoclean This happens because the...
Today was a big day for gamers as Valve just introduced three products: the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame. When you add this alongside the Steam Deck, I think it's safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation. Steam Controller I have basically nothing to say about the...
