## THE THIRD SATELLITE OF PLANET EARTH The press room of the World Space Agency was full to the brim. To my left there was an old man wearing small, golden glasses writing something in a notebook; to my right, a powerful woman, stiff like a stick, wearing black shades and camouflage clothes […]

What's up? I am working on the next techno-mage issue, which will come out as a complete story sometime in April. I like to think this will result in a more enjoyable experience as opposed to rushing out parts and pages. https://analognowhere.com I am also […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

May you live in interesting times... https://no01.substack.com/p/march-19-21-god-is-a-comedian Three weeks into the Iran war, reality has passed through the looking glass, out the other side, and is now selling tickets to the gift shop. What follows is not satire. Satire requires exaggeration […]

"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go. That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in. snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a […]

Dear friends of #bsdcafe - the BSD Cafe Journal needs some attention. This isn't the best time for me to revive it myself, and that's exactly why I'm counting on you! I'm sure you have great ideas, thoughts, projects, and articles that would fit perfectly in that space. So don’t be shy 🙂 The […]

Wow. So Bill Gates is a garbage fire of a person. Who could have imagined this. Also, water is wet, or so it seems.

I’ll probably release the first alpha of #mastoblaster later next week. There are bugs. There are missing parts. But it works!

Nikolai Kardashev was a Soviet radio astronomer and astrophysicist who wanted to know how one could even detect extraterrestrial civilizations at all, the “SETI problem”. He concluded: by energy consumption. The Kardashev scale is therefore not an ISO standard (ISO = Interstellar Standards […]

The time is probably right. Back in 2022, when I was still using iOS, I wasn’t completely happy with the Fediverse apps that were available. I was mostly using Akkoma, and the interface I liked the most was actually its web UI, even on mobile. So I started playing with Xcode and put together […]

Remember "don't print this email" in signatures that was a bit cringe? It doesn't feel that cringe anymore in retrospect. I'm doing an experiment now with this new email signature :D Anyone doing something similar? Could it catch on?

## CASTING NO SHADOW He felt bored one day and decided to go see a movie, no matter which one. So he walked down Martín de los Heros street, entered a cinema and chose a random French film. This was the most important decision in his life: almost instantly, he fell in love with the actress. She […]

A few days ago, a client’s data center "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G. I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an […]

## DON PASQUALE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VAMPIRES My taxi crawled through a winding road. There were cypresses around, dark and quiet. Light was warm orange. What a beautiful country. I was left by a big house, made of pale stone. The car disappeared behind a dust cloud. By the door there […]

I'm in love with The Sea. It's a bit strange, as I'm from Madrid; it's a dry and stubborn land as far from the sea as can be. Or, who knows, maybe that's the reason of my love, the love of the dispossesed, the love of the forsaken, the love of the abandoned; a loved one, a desired one, as far as […]
