On my way to Prague for Open Source Summit with the České dráhy (Czech railways). Fabulous dining as always (in first class* so they bring it to my seat)! * sounds posh but the ticket was about €70.

if polanski can’t put a stop to this, the greens will go down badly and deservedly so. it’s possible to clearly object to the actions of the israeli state without descending into antisemitism. but it needs a leader who both understands what is going on and has the strength to enforce moral clarity.
Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · last wk.Just so dispiriting to watch the Greens be corrupted by the same poison that took over Labour. All the same shit: the excuses, the mealy-mouthed justifications, the tortured position statements, the deafening silences. Like a historical reenactment.
From Politico. That motion is absolute fucking poison and by failing to stand up to it, the Greens have allowed that poison to seep into the party.
I think all the time about what my life would have been like if I had been born a boy. If I was praised for my leadership abilities instead of getting in trouble for being bossy. If I hadn’t been harassed out of the computer science department. I think I would have taken over the world by now
maura quint@mauraquint.bsky.social · 2w agoYes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This weekend’s project: DPDK + WireGuard 🤓 I wired wireguard-go up to my packetio library and got a single tunnel to ~30M pps clean, peaking 40M pps. That’s 70× what kernel WireGuard can do! Wrote it all up here if you’re into that kind of thing: toonk.io/wireguard-dp...

Dave Keating@davekeating.substack.com · 4w agoCarney closes with a story of how Canadian soldiers returning from fighting in Europe in WW2 came back with acorns, planting trees that now grow in both Canada and France - proving what can survive even in the harshest winter. A standing ovation from MEPs.
this is it, your moment of zen. (I love fluffy white clouds)
some hold that the role of PMs is diminished in a world where AI enables anyone to instantly code up an idea. the converse is true: a PM that can say “stop! let’s understand the customer need first“ is more important than ever. when code is cheap, the judgement to know what to release is critical.

here’s something I just learned - the shingles vaccine doesn’t just protect against shingles, it significantly reduces the chance of dementia. loads of papers on this, e.g. www.brown.edu/news/2026-06...
Study suggests shingles vaccine may lower dementia risk
A study led by Brown University researchers found that older adults who received the shingles vaccine currently used in the U.S. were less likely to be diagnosed with dementia within four years.
