"Take Stuff from Work" by King Missile

"The government we call authoritarian is delivering what Western democracies struggle to: stuff that actually works. ... This breaks our Western discourse. We were told that democracy and development go together. That free markets require free politics. That our system was the "end of history.""

Just over a month to go till ASG! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Interested in presenting about interesting and forward-pushing low-level user-space Linux technologies? @all-systems-go.bsky.social in Berlin is the place to do it. CFP closes in a week.

If anyone is looking for a Switch 2 in Berlin, they have a lot at the Saturn @ Alex. I had preordered mine from Mediamarkt to pick up near me but haven’t gotten an email to pick it up yet so cancelling that one. 🤷

My IONIQ 5 was stolen last week in Berlin. 😔 This is the second one I've had stolen in 2 years; almost to the day. It seems that keyless Hyundai & Kia's can be stolen within seconds using a device. Although I was very fond of the IONIQ5, I'll not be buying another car from Hyundai/Kia any time soon.

Finally got my Prusa Core One. And now to go down the rabbit hole.

Back home in Berlin after 1.5 months of sailing and traveling. Feels good to be back but I'm sure all start getting antsy soon. Enjoying the comforts of home for the time being, though.

AI coding assistance have no tasty. But they are just an assistant, so that's OK.

A reminder that the All Systems Go! 2025 CFP closes on June 13th. Submit your talk about foundational user-space Linux technologies before the deadline to be considered. 👉 cfp.all-systems-go.io/all-systems-...

Sailed from the Elbe in Germany to Madeira over the last ~3 weeks. Included a ~7 day crossing over the Biscay and on to Madeira; almost all downwind. Have about another week till the Canaries. Plan to then take a quick trip to Morocco before heading back to Berlin.

This is how the Nuggets get their next rings. 😀

Gemini is a very good model. I've switched from OpenAI for pretty much everything. It was inevitable that Google (via DeepMind) would eventually make this compelling and overtake the competition.

Am I a prepper if I setup my printer's fax functionality?

I don't think Elon Musk has ever played Civilization.

Listening to Japanese (or any language) that is slightly above your current level is a great way to improve. For anyone looking for comprehensible Japanese input, I suggest けんさん's channel: www.youtube.com/@kensanokaer... He speaks to the listener like a child; strange at first but why it's useful.

Mid-Feb I hit a 500-day streak on Duolingo. That was my last time using it for Japanese. The last 20-30 days I was just going for the streak. I've almost completely switched over to Anki for app-based learning. With the right decks, it's so much more effective at actually learning the language.

I have no idea what the word "mendacity" means even though I've seen and looked it up many times. /me going to look it up once again.

Looking forward to another iteration of All Systems Go! this year. The CPF is open. So, if you want to present about any foundational user-space Linux technologies, get your submission in.

Got back from a month in Tokyo a couple days ago and have had almost no jet lag. Not sure how that happened. 🤔

I voted in 🇩🇪 German 🇩🇪 elections for the first time since getting my citizenship. A bit earlier than I'd thought. That and going through the automated passport controls for 🇪🇺 citizens are the only day-to-day things I've been able to do since becoming a citizen. But it's only been a few months. :)

These ppl make the most beautiful sailing videos on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV4a... Patagonia is so beautiful.

I have tickets 🎫 to see Hania Rani in Tokyo, Berlin and London. A happy coincidence we'll be in some of the same cities at the same time. #NotAStalker :) Here's an amazing performance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oZ...

Heads up! Headlamp 0.28.0 is out! 🎉 In this release we add the support for Gateway API and fix a gazillion bugs including the annoying terminal pop ups on Windows when using kubeconfig with exec. Update to Headlamp 0.28.0 now! #kubernetes #ui github.com/headlamp-k8s...

January 21, 1993: American track & field icon and 9-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis sings the national anthem before a Bulls-Nets game in New Jersey. The following day, ESPN’s Charley Steiner famously reacted to Lewis' performance on SportsCenter:

I charged my car at Lidl in Berlin a couple weeks ago and it took about 3 hours. It's a public charger. I just got a letter demanding I pay a 35 EUR fine because I was there more than 90 min. WTF! Is this how charging infrastructure works?

Getting transcripts in 2025 is SO easy! Just pulled a couple of my transcripts form US universities and it took a couple minutes to register and a few more to get the email notification that they were ready to download. I remember when this took calling, waiting on hold forever, then snail mailing.

When I want to focus on one screen I've gotten into the habit of loading this site to black out the screen: blackscreen.app Probably not the most efficient thing, but it's good for when you just need a a quick burst of focus.

📣 All Systems Go! 2025 will take place Sep 30th-Oct 1st. We are excited to move back to the venue we used for the first 3 years, Alte-Münze in the heart of Berlin along the river Spree. The 🗣️ CFP opens and 🎟️ ticket sales start in mid-March. 🎗️ If your organization wants to sponsor, please reach out.

This is one of our main uses for our Air Fryer. So yummy. Also, love doing sweet potato.

Man, the British pronunciation of "controversy" is all over the place. The one where they say "contravacy" where the accent is on the "tra" part always gets me.

Danzig: Mother

I was lucky to see Fugazi 2X. 1️⃣ in DC under the Washington Monument for a Janitors for Justice rally. 2️⃣ And then on the VCU 🐏 campus for a student organized concert. 🌅 The morning of the VCU concert, I went out to walk my 🐕 and Ian & Guy were sitting on my stoop. I just said "Hi." and continued. :)

Cancelled Duolingo family subscription. Let's see if anyone notices. ;-) Paid through Sept 25, though. So, will have to wait to know.
