RE: https://social.itu.dk/@AndrzejWasowski/116350874675626708 My gmail is truly down from 5.5GB to 0B (not just Inbox but all mail gone). Google should be grateful that I'm no longera burden ;) I still have to sort and clean this all up. Right now it is all in my inbox on a #selfhosted server […]

After git is done, started on a new hobby project: self-hosting my mail storage. I think this is also going to take more than a month. But the first step is done. Dovecot and fetchmail are buzzing and ... the pic! This is not #inboxZero (yet! wait for it!). The […] [Original post on social.itu.dk]

140 repos out of github to #selfhosting. Another good day! #eastercleaning #springcleaning

Another day, another 100 repos deleted from GitHub.com and bitbucket.org. I am almost done with my data cleanup. #selfhosting

I have just deleted a workspace with 237 git repositories from bitbucket.org. These have all been migrated to personal hosting. What a thrill! Quite some emotions! gh.com is next :) #digitallyselfsufficient #digitalfreedom #digitalsovereignty

RE: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/116261526543583522 The reason I joined the Android team in 2010, and that since 2008 I’ve carried Android not iOS devices, was that I could just download software. And other people could download mine. This new process is a massive breaking of faith with […]

They say Bluesky is an echo chamber, but I've just been having a conversation here with another academic about homemade hummus.

Surreal commentary about #Oscar awards 2026 on most #Russia media, including e.g. KinoPoisk, a portal dedicated to film industry, who simply pretend that the film “Mr Nobody Against Putin” that actually won the “Documentary” category… does not exist. Below […] [Original post on agora.echelon.pl]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fm_volker/116233825011330656 This is why we should mandate open communication standards for long living products. For now, just don't buy Nissan

I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invitation of elastic.

Actually, a very nice initiative from FSE 2026 that allows presenting ASE/ICSE papers if you couldn't present there for visa or illness reasons. https://conf.researchr.org/track/fse-2026/fse-2026-rerouted-presentations-from-the-past-year

Wow, who would have expected a _Dunkelflaute_ in March? But here it is: * #Germany - the “energy transformation leader with the most renewables in Europe” - **604** gCO2eq/kWh * #Poland - old coal baseline country that is heavily investing in wind and […] [Original post on agora.echelon.pl]

I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works. I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little […]

I chatted with claude about HICCS, just for fun. I love the its conclusion: "Once is a conference trip; twice is a pattern; three times is a holiday strategy." :)

An unsolicited career tip: when preparing academic job applications keep font size well above 7 points, and match the margins and line width to keep it readable on 32" screen without a magnifying glass or horizontal scrolling. This wildly increases your chances with some application evaluators.

Right now our ebook "Domain-Specific Languages: Effective Modeling, Automation, and Reuse" by Springer © 2023 is available for 13 EUR (instead of 51.35 EUR). The price that Springer gives you might depend on your location. This is what I see […] [Original post on social.itu.dk]

An Iranian man left this comment on a YouTube channel. "As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the […]

I have spent some time cleaning up my home-grown #bayesian inference library for public consumption. Enjoy: https://codeberg.org/wasowski/probula The story goes that I needed a pure Scala3 replacement for #figaro, that I can use for teaching purposes. The status is: - can handle regression […]

A very nice broad perspective on "What is a bug?" by @clegoues and @davidthewid The title is slightly misleading but the subtitle has it all: On subjectivity, epistemic power, and implications for computing research. I especially like the less positivist perspective on software research, and a […]

If you had invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2010, by now it would be worth $2 million to the people who had stolen it from you meanwhile.

I don't understand the point of publishing a paper about a great innovative tool that you developed if you're not going to make that tool available to anyone. And I don't understand the point of citing this paper as a example of a great innovative tool, either. If it's not available, it might […]

Please do not leverage things. At least if you coauthor with me.

I never "radicalized." I'm simply a Canadian whose idea of the social contract remained unchanged while America dragged the Overton Window to the right. When the Overton Window moves, it doesn't stretch. Thus, while previously unthinkable ideas become acceptable to explore, others shift to […]
