Beat the second level of Hades 2 🙌 That boss was difficult ngl.

Tor/onion routing is such a cool concept once you read it and understand how it works. But it also relies on trust. If a bad actor ever manages to get his hands on the start and end of a Tor circuit, they can analyze traffic to figure out who you are and what you accessed. (Germany did this once.)

Going on a Muse binge. I grew up watching their music videos on TV and the Uprising teddy bear was seared into my memory. They're one of those bands with a truly distinct sound.

I have an idea for a song: repeat the phrase "black hole sun" 2000 times

In my first real blog post I wrote about applying fluid typography without generators or build tools. Just CSS variables, calc() and clamp(). simoncoudeville.be/blog/a-css-o...

I plan to do a cover + guitar tutorial for this song soonish, which will actually be a first for me. It has one tutorial on YouTube but it's not super easy to follow. I learned this song through tabs and watching the live recording. open.spotify.com/track/5V25JN...

Slowly getting better at barre chords. No pain no gain. Also I started taking local lessons and that's helped a lot.

I, for one, am very grateful to President Trump for ending the war between Aber-Baysian and Albania. Too many people had died. Both Aber-Baysianese and Albanianianians.

As an Armen- Albanian, I am deeply offended. But not surprised.

I am frankly tired of seeing JavaScript framework authors in my feed arguing over who innovated first or who innovated better.

"Can't violate free speech if there's no free speech" is where we're at, for those not following along

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

We're all just sorta coasting along and hoping the general state of the world eventually improves, right? At least, that's how I feel and it's the impression I've gotten from my friends. Lots of folks seem to be unhappy rn with their jobs and life in general. Things just suck across the board.

Current queue of songs I'm practicing on guitar: - Fade Into You (barre chords, yay) - Karma Police (more barre chords!) - Summer Wine (did I mention barre chords?) - Hair & Skin - The Sad Mafioso - The Stable Song Sometimes I worry I'm doing too much, but I can't stop, I'm addicted.

Just do what I do and never upgrade your dependencies and ignore all dependabot alerts, ez pz problem solved.

Another week, another supply-chain attack. Someone please explain to me why npm doesn't require 2FA for publishes by default. Why run this risk?

This is a wonderful post explaining how to make animations feel "right" (or why sometimes you don't need to animate at all). 👇 emilkowal.ski/ui/you-dont-...

A lot of messages, tags, and replies have been disappointing and discouraging to read the last few days. My notifications range between gaslighting, reports for hate speech, emotional blackmail to direct threats to my personal safety. All for sharing my feelings after watching footage of murder.

I feel like almost any time I open an issue in a repo I am not a member of, people always react so hostile and dismissive. I'm always very careful with my word choice to avoid suggesting I'm being critical, and yet this is a pretty typical/common interaction for me in tech. It happens all the time.

Fantastic article! I never gave "content" vs. "items" much thought but this cleared up a lot of implicit assumptions I was making. (Aside: I wish we had clearer terms instead of "align" and "justify". I think that's partly why this is all so confusing for beginners.)

If you want to see just how problematic Bluesky has become, just look at all the replies to this post. People are openly defending the assassination of their political opponents. That is not okay.

I just got the 2FA code 472274 I won

Isn't the fix for these supply chain attacks to just require 2fa for all npm accounts, no exceptions? Iirc npm already does but only for popular packages.

You just know some absolute madman is gonna beat Hollow Knight Silksong using only pogo jump

I wake up and all I can think about is guitar. I work and all I can think about is guitar. I go to bed and all I can think about is guitar. I am so madly in love with this instrument. I'm probably driving people crazy by talking about music non-stop 😅

it is time

Not me constantly refreshing Steam to see if Hollow Knight Silksong stopped crashing. I am part of the problem.

Attempt #2. I didn't like the first one as the chords weren't accurate and the tone felt off. This is a bit closer to the original song. Not perfect, but making progress!

Radiohead is doing a 2025 Europe tour radiohead.com

USPS lost my vehicle title, so now I have to go to the DMV and pay $5 to get a certified replacement for the title that I *already paid for* when I bought the vehicle.

One of the next songs I'm learning on guitar. This is the intro to Mazzy Star's "Hair and Skin."

Bought a new friend for my acoustic

My guitar cover of Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead I'm still a beginner at barre chords and there are two back to back in this song, so I flubbed it a little, but hopefully it's not super noticeable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOCR...

All my best takes are off camera, and all my worst takes on camera. I hate the record button. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

USPS has had zero trouble delivering 5+ vehicle warranty scam letters to me, but the one important document I was supposed to receive yesterday according to Informed Delivery hasn't arrived. Smh.
