Hello fedi from 🇭🇰 👋

Gosh I'm so excited for this trip

Taking a 3h Mandarin class while being severly sleep deprived is def an experience haha

2026 and I've never used a passkey nor have I ever been prompted to set one up

New idea: Neobank specifically for digital sovereignty, from the app running on Linux/without SafetyNet and other nonsense to the servers running on local infrastructure

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@tinker/116142810017259522 Det er netop det sidste: at mennesker i underklassen der tager jobs som bud, rengøring, fabriksarbejdere, ikke har noget valg når den uendeligt mere magtfulde arbejdsgiver siger: identificer dig med Persona. Vi der har valg, er moralsk […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@hacker_news_bot/116145409566346173 This is just wild

My big TODO list Markdown file got too hard to keep track off so I'm finally switching back to CalDAV in order to get tags and things thanks to the great #planify app, tasks.org on Android and the fact that Nextcloud now has a great web tasks manager too 🥳 […]

Learned a lot about sysext tonight. For some reason actually building the BuildStream elements with `sysext-build-element` is glacial for me still (it keeps on querying/building caches for almost a minute each time and I don't think I can pass in `--no-strict`), but other than that it seems like […]

The @torproject VPN app for Android is now available in @fdroidorg and therefore guaranteed to be fully Free Software, rebuilt from source.

It's 2026 and my website finally has a proper RSS feed!

Oh, this is neat! Turns out you can actually verify your #Codeberg account while still keeping your primary URL on Codeberg your website: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/profile/ All you need to do is add the link with `rel="me"` to your .profile repo! […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Whenever I switch my tooling around it takes me so long to get into a flow state again, but when you finally manage to get into that new state again _and_ you're better at fixing problems than before it feels great

The best aesthetic for any modern city has to be body of water, grass, trees and towers of glass

So funny that my the first 10 Gb/s system in my home network will be a RISC-V system

I really wish Firefox shipped that RSS button in the headerbar still. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/want-my-rss/ is so cool

Damn, Servo is like actually fast nwo

I somehow managed to forget to make coffee this morning

Bridgy Fed is so cool

You know, I don't actually agree that using an LLM to edit code should be banned by a project. Sure, running it on autopilot, yes. But as an editor? No. Being able to say search for a symbol without knowing it's name exactly or start a big semantic search and replace or copying and filling out a […]

Normalise being constantly in awe of the world

#puregotk has moved to Codeberg! I've just opened the first PR to it: https://codeberg.org/puregotk/puregotk/pulls/42 Gosh it is nice to have a usable signal/noise ratio on a forge again ...

Young Sheldon is such a fun series to watch

The new Vercel dashboard feature where an LLM evaluates your query and selects the right setting for you is really nice. Like keyword-based search but on steroids.

I've changed my mind on so many things this year already it's kind of crazy

Writing documentation is so so much fun

RE: https://fed.interfree.ca/notes/aj5qz9mn47zts5m4 You also notice this with vibe-coded things from people in different domains. The best example to me might be mise, a PM that's been getting popular in SV circles. It's fully vibe-coded, has an extremely large feature set that PMs […]

AI is both impressive and ridiculous. I have a little command line Python script that does some basic text reformatting stuff for me. I wanted a version that I could use on my phone. I gave Gemini the script, and asked it to make "a version of this program with the same functionality that I can […]

New video out on the Broadway detour aka Vancouver's busiest shortcut, from our good friend @nicthedoor.bsky.social

The new Firefox Android interface is so so much better, damn

RE: https://tech.lgbt/@yjeanrenaud/116122129025921096 Neat app and I will be using it, but just a heads up the app for anyone also planning on doing so the app is not open source as it says in this description: https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses/blob/main/LICENSE

Feeling called out by all of the plastic surgery ads I constantly get on Instagram lol

The new For All Mankind trailer looks so good omg

Small micro-adjustments and improvements for Sessions are part of my OSS commit tonight. As was noticed by the circle review, the notification was missing a symbolic icon which I've now added, there is a body, the icon has a more readable numeric digital […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/116122781303627956 Honestly this might be the worst case of LLM psychosis I've ever seen in practice.

I'm starting to radicalise from my previous position ("the only way you should be able to ask for a person's identity to be verified is via eIDAS") to "the only one that should ever be allowed to ask for you papers is the government"

It's such a beautiful day out today. Sun! I missed you!

Such good news from the stop killing games initiative today

Honestly, the Palm IIIxe might be my favourite Palm device as in how it fares in daily use so far

I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do. So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired […]

So many problems in the world. And it's so much fun to fix them.

Wow, day 2 of great energy despite little sleep

Honestly ... I don't think "vibe-porting" things from say C++ to Rust is a bad idea if your code base has tests that you can use to verify behaviour before and after a migration (without porting the tests themselves as well). Yes, the resulting code will initially be non-idiomatic, but that […]

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@davx5app/116119385541472675 If you have the chance, please sign this. Yes, Android is a broken platform in many ways, and it will probably never liberate us. But it is also, for so many people, the only computer they have access to. Keeping that system as open as we […]

One good way to test how digitally sovereign your day to day stack is in reality is to disable IPv4. I don't know exactly why this is, but the more decentralized and open an ecosystem and community is, the more likely it seems to be that they have IPv6 working. Especially visible when you […]

Charli's new song is incredible

I think the reason why some people really like things like OpenClaw is just because of the fact that they seem ... liberating in a way. The idea of you being able to have your own interface, commands, and automations, all customised, open, running on your own systems ... it's like a dream. It's […]

I have so much energy for some reason tonight. Maybe it's the late night coffee but damn!

It's so fun reading AI 2027 now. Both about how absolutely wrong they've been re:China, and also how not even the late 2025 prediction has turned out to be true.

As someone who used Matrix before they ever used IRC, IRC is absurdly confusing. Why is there a "nickname service"? Why can I not upload images? Why is everyone on 3 big servers?
