Any online #solarpunk reading groups out there? I started a kind of proto-solarpunk group called Utopia Cafe before I left the UK but for various reasons didn't keep it up. Also I haven't been reading as much or as widely as I'd prefer and would like exposure to some new stuff I haven't read […]

If you wanna know how visiting the UK went for me, suffice to say I was listening to "Lipstick on the Glass" half the time https://youtu.be/KX_QelwuC8I #music

Back in Taiwan after a 3 week trip to the UK to ask the government permission to get married... 25 celcius at 7:40am, standard. #taiwan #uk

my tui looked bad in tmux so like a sane person I compiled tmux from source to get a december 17 update #programming #tmux

We are now officially using @forgejo! The Fedora Forge is ready for contributors to start migrating to. Cutoff for switching from Pagure is by Flock to Fedora 2026. New chapter :) ➡️ https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/the-forge-is-our-new-home/ #Forgejo #fedora #opensource #linux

TIL that lofi and most ambient genres sound fine even if you have earplugs in, which is gonna be a big help for my upcoming flights #music

Feel vaguely threatened by trains saying they will take me to my FINAL DESTINATION

What if courts decided that AI models trained on public data should be publicly owned resources? What if everyone received a dividend from the use of AI models for commercial activities e.g. through a state-run fund? (sorry, rare AI post, writing an article about the weird economics of […]

Replaced a broken mixer tap in my shower this morning. I guess this technically counts as maintaining and improving production pipelines? #devops #programmer_humor

- be me - decide to compile linux from scratch - forget ur on a laptop - set make to use all cores - compile gcc - why is my CPU at 92c #linux #lfs #iamverysmart

How viable is it to daily drive a distro where you e.g. replace GNU coreutils with BusyBox and systemd with OpenRC? I am LFS curious but also don't wanna maintain a distro #linux

Watched One Fight After Another, enjoyed it a lot despite some silliness. (I also like Pynchon so might read Vineland since it's a loose movie adaptation.) It strikes me that the #fediverse kind of works like the underground organizations in that movie, probably not by accident.

Comfy.guide seems cool and has some succinct guides to self-hosting https://comfy.guide #selfhosted

Something interesting I didn't know before: it seems that there is a strong overlap between my readers and people who use Kagi. For some reason Kagi was only mentioned as a referer when I switched to Umami analytics 🤔 #selfhosted #opensource #foss

Last week I promised I'd write up the messy process of setting up Isso comments for my blog, so here it is! Covered the whole process from design (and why I didn't use AWS) to hosting to config. My hope is that this is also helpful to someone who wants to get started with self (managed) hosting […]

Set up self hosted Umami analytics on my blog, working well for now and seems more than powerful enough for curiosity. Will run it in parallel with Google Analytics for a bit and if they give similar results remove GA later. https://umami.is/ #selfhosted #foss #blog

Philosophy article from 2011: wow, that's pretty cutting edge! Computer science article from 2011: wow, that's pretty dated... #tech #philosophy

Have been trying out MarkText for taking simple notes, it works pretty well with Johnny Decimal as a very simple way to deal with writing and organizing in a very pure way. Not gonna replace Neovim for power usage but for staying focused on actually writing stuff it's great […]

SLAs: ✅ Service level agreements 😱 State level actors #tech #infosec #security

I don't produce much video, but if you do and don't care about the YouTube algorithm, it seems pretty viable to self host (with European / self hosted providers) nowadays, if you have the credits: - BunnyStream if you want an all-in-one solution - BunnyCDN and Video.js if you want more granular […]

Hetzner + Isso setup went so well for my comment systems that I am considering replacing some core site components with EU / FOSS alternatives: - Vercel to bunny.net CDN - Google Analytics to Umami - Route 53 to some EU registrar Might lead to some risk but tempted to take the LTT approach of […]

Interesting site presenting European alternatives to big US tech companies for infrastructure + services https://europeanalternatives.eu #europe #tech #eu
