Small world when I was chatting with someone at GitHub and realized they created the first unit test runner I ever used for .NET... 23 years ago.

Backblaze B2 is nice for dumb blob data storage but use a different client like Arq, Restic, whatever.

I went to my eye doc last week for some minor eye issue, so I rode my bike as it’s bike accessible. He saw my helmet and got excited and thought it was great I didn’t drive. I lamented there was no place to secure my bike. A week later and there is a bike rack in the corner of the parking lot.

I've been mulling on this all weekend. Ultimately I think I am not informed enough on lattice cryptanalysis to choose, so I'll just donate $1,000 (500 me, 500 employer) to the EFF and Internet Archive (each) today and enjoy the spectacle.

Any children’s toy that depends on proficient use of suction cups is immediately on my shit list.

4/5.

Shutting out the Pens is my preferred way for Ovi and Sid to have their (potentially) last game.

Both Protas brothers got a score today. That’s something cool at least.

Caps are going to lose 5-2.

Yessssss

1. Injure eye slightly on Monday 2. See ophthalmologist on Wednesday. Get prescription eye drops 3. Poke eye with eye dropper

The science in “Project Hail Mary” the book is interesting because it is very obviously not anywhere near plausible but it is _good enough_ that the story and world building works.

Welp.

Someone once described “fat and salt” as the difference between “cuisine” and “hot groceries”. That stuck with me.

“%*#>% woodpeckers” is a little-known closing tag in ASP.NET WebForms.

“We have a population that has learned — correctly — that pharmaceutical companies have lied, that institutions have failed them…But the response has not been better skepticism. It has been the migration of trust from one set of financially motivated actors to another.” Great point here

This is pretty close to the premise of this @smbccomics.bsky.social comic.

Neat find.

It's always ̶D̶N̶S̶ Kerberos.

WMATA had a pretty good April Fool’s. xcancel.com/wmata/status...

Hm. Seems like macOS 26.4 totally broke Arq backing up to SMB on all four family computers. Hopefully an update will fix it. Guess I need to figure out another protocol for now.

This is nice. Works really well on the Neo and seems to be sitting at ~65 MB of memory.

We got a really cheap and crappy little robot vacuum. No Internet, app, nada. It just drives around like it’s getting a DUI every 7 seconds. It’s great.

wut

Still annoyed by this.

NEW EPISODE! The gang learns a bitter lesson about AI and bug finding! Returning champion Nicholas Carlini is back to talk about Claude for vulnerability research. securitycryptographywhatever.com/2026/03/25/a... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IDb...

I’m convinced that salt and tomatoes are two of the most “misunderstood” ingredients I see people try to cook with.

give Ms. Rachel a gundam

Apple Music in iOS 26.4 has some nice UX fixes.

Oh wow did Amazon finally fix their passkey implementation? Signing in with a passkey no longer asks me to do an SMS or TOTP step. Passkey and done 🚀

This is the 3rd time I have recently read someone say they like the Quiche browser. I have never been able to tear myself away from Safari but I guess I will give it a go.

Huh. The TechEmpower benchmarks were sunset. github.com/TechEmpower/...

I think deep down people know driving a car sucks. It’s annoying, stressful, and one of the biggest risks people take daily. Where things go wrong is people wanting cars to get better instead of just reducing our dependence on these things.

> "Install SLOW LLM on your computer, or the computer of a loved one, today!” This kind of implies installing a browser extension for 'loved one' non-consensually which is a really sketch thing.

I could never be a podcast host because I would simply start foaming at the mouth 7 minutes in.

The MacBook Neo is making me inventory all of my helper applications * Spotlight on macOS 26 is 'good enough' and I can live without Raycast * Can't live without Moom * Don't need a Menu Bar app like Hidden Bar. The macOS 26 functionality is all I really need.

Me: “I don’t have seasonal affective disorder I am just crankly because —“ *Sun comes out* Oh.

Buying any kind of surge protector or extension cord on Amazon is an exercise of “find the one that won’t burn down your house”.

Okay so after like a week and some change of using the MacBook Neo for personal coding tasks i think it is very good. Just by itself on its own merit. When you factor in the price it is incredible.

ML-KEM, including the X.509 PKI RFC 9935 support will be fully stable in .NET 11. It won't be attributed as [Experimental] going forward.

Fund more Final Fantasy remakes. Starting with VIII.

Matter / Thread has been mostly a success for me, but it was pretty rough a few years ago. Only using three different vendors for devices and using Apple border routers exclusively has, I think, helped.

The second most brutal Irish curse I’ve ever heard, in case you were wondering, is go scríobha do scéala báis le fual na bláthnaide gallda. It means “may your obituary be written in weasel’s piss.”

This looks like a scene from Severance season 2.

🚨 it is drizzling outside 🚨

Half of my Teams conversations are asking”which one” when someone says something is going to happen in Q1 2027.

It was 83F yesterday and today it is snowing.
