This will end your night on a good note. Gratitude. 🚀 🌕

#NWBchallenge day 31 - I’m cycling! Kinda 😆

Hands up if you have been predicting 2026 as the year of Linux on the desktop 😀 mastodon.social/@linuxiac/11...

I had been wondering if I’m missing out having left a while back, but this reassures me that even though some folks on this site can be pretty shrill, it’s a lot better than over there

🩼🦶🩼 Four weeks into the #NWBchallenge. Today I tackled the obstacle course that is my office for the first time so I could reach my drum kit! Hi-hat pedal is off limits for the moment 🥁

🚲 @londoncycling.bsky.social's campaign Streets for Cycling is calling on local election candidates to make cycling in your borough safe for everyone! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🧑‍💻 Email & ask your candidates to pledge to build a safe local cycle network today action.lcc.org.uk/streets

❗Basically, don't trust anything or anyone these days. Entire teams of fake people are being automated on legit-looking Slack instances to persuade you to collaborate with them 😱 opensourcemalware.com/blog/social-... #opensource

There is a lot of good and seemingly transparent discussion of risk in this Claude Mythos Preview System Card from @anthropic.com www-cdn.anthropic.com/8b8380204f74... Lots of description of how they evaluate threat models, and acknowledgement where their confidence levels are uncertain

🍫🥚Easter egg hunt is a special event during the #NWBchallenge

Today is day 22 - I’m over half way through! 🎉 #NWBchallenge Right now my foot feels fizzy & tingly, like pins and needles. ChatGPT says this is nerves healing / waking up, and absolutely normal. AI has been super helpful and reassuring for me through this process 🤖

Looking at a repo that describes the leaked #Claude CLI code and it has taken an unexpected turn: 18 species of "buddy" randomly assigned, with a 1% chance of being "shiny" - I'm beginning to think it's not Claude but Pokémon? github.com/Kuberwastake...

Somehow the @cisco.com Tech Stories team persuaded me to tell the story of how I learned, early in my career, about the importance of backing up your work... and then talk about #eBPF of course open.spotify.com/episode/3Jyb... @community.cisco.com @ciscosecurity.bsky.social

lima has come on a long way, such a good tool www.cncf.io/blog/2026/03...

I thought maybe I was just getting less good at using computers, but this explains a lot about why I keep finding the UX on Apple things non-intuitive tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

Day 15 - cast upgrade! #NWBchallenge

#Cilium 1.19 added native mTLS support, bringing inline mutual TLS directly into the Cilium datapath and unifying authentication and encryption into a single operation. Read more about the effort to bring ztunnel to Cilium: cilium.io/blog/2026/03...

🩼🦶🩼 I’m 1/3 through my #NWBchallenge - getting a cast upgrade tomorrow!

People are sending photos, and I spy a lovely eBee up for grabs on the @isovalent.bsky.social booth at #kubecon 😍🐝

It’s a little-known fact that many traditional English kitchens include a load-bearing Aga

#CiliumCon is today! Will you be there? 🌷 Co-chairs Hemanth Malla and Mahé Tardy will open the day of talks, project updates, and production user stories with #Cilium & #eBPF. We're excited to see everyone today from 13:25 in Elicium 1: lnkd.in/ehkRKuDb

Outlook decided to suicide by beachball rather than let me submit this 1/5 rating to @microsoft.com 🤣

I’m outside! #NWBchallenge

I'm seeing a lot of these fake Donald Trump truths being posted on BlueSky (and lesser sites) at the moment. Its pretty easy to check, and you owe it to yourself and other people before sharing it.

Day 10 of #NWBchallenge and I’m feeling a lot more energetic now I’m off painkillers. I’m a quarter the way through this already! 🩼🦶🩼

💯 and I kinda fear that @bsky.app already missed the opportunity to do this. Ordinary people couldn’t stand X/Elon during the DOGE fiasco, but they don’t always hold a grudge for long. You need to do some work to get big brands/governments/public figures over here

Day 8 of #NWBchallenge and apparently codeine withdrawal is a thing. Feeling simultaneously exhausted and wired and headachy is not a recipe for successful sleep. But this thread cheered me up no end!

#NWBchallenge shopping opportunities - buying trousers that fit over my cast 🛍️

Can’t tell you how thrilled I am that our next door neighbours have construction work happening (again) while I am trapped at home #NWBchallenge 🔨🛠️🙉

I should do a YouTube video “I tried not using one leg for six weeks” #NWBchallenge

We've already got a stellar lineup of amazing guests in 2026 including: @lizrice.com Sam Newman @matthewskelton.com @anil.recoil.org @charleshumble.bsky.social @hollycummins.com @saraemilybergman.bsky.social @jamiedobson.bsky.social

Sadly I won’t be making it to #KubeCon in Amsterdam as this foot will be non weight bearing for a few weeks, but the good news is that I still have the expected number of feet 🦶

Just skimmed two recent @thenewstack.io articles. Different authors, but both similar tone, with click-baity titles and non-sequitur arguments along the lines of “They told us X! But it was Y all along!” where X is not what anyone was saying, and Y is totally different, and vendor-y. AI slop?

Getting back up to speed with the @cncf.io governing board www.linkedin.com/pulse/gettin...

Apple Watch thinks I’m sleep-walking for 3h a night 🚶‍♀️💤

I am really disappointed to hear that “all” the interesting AI/agentic security discussions are happening on the bird site, and apparently someone I generally respect has gone back over there. I don’t even want to look 😢

Is it true that newer stolen iPhones are easier to reactivate than old models? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Sad to be getting AI-generated security reports that fundamentally don’t understand the technology they are dealing with

Just hearing Suede’s “Antidepressants” on @laurenlaverne.bsky.social BBC 6 Music. Brett Anderson’s voice sounds really different?!

Made an omelette with a dash of soy, a few chilli flakes, and pinch of the Katsuobushi flakes that were a Christmas gift. It wasn’t a photogenic omelette, but taste-wise: OMG, life-enhancing!
