We've upgraded the Tuscolo CT log to Debian Trixie. Took 3m of downtime. Tuscolo is a single machine and currently has better uptime than multiple distributed high-availability CT logs. "One big, good box" is a terribly underestimated architecture.
Planned maintenance on Tuscolo CT logs: June 7th

Converted a Windows 10 machine to ChromeOS flex in like 45 seconds. This seems impossible.
The folks who made Chrome OS Flex should be tremendously proud of what they built. It is so much better than my expectations, which were not low.
Living in the EU comes with some strong consumer protections. For example, you can: • Return online purchases within 14 days • Get a minimum 2-year legal guarantee • Benefit from the right to repair • Claim compensation for transport delays or cancellations • Roam across the EU at no extra cost

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective. The vaccine protects against the high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cervical cancers and have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and #CervicalCancer
Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Look I am still in favour of the Zuck/Elon cage match occurring and Zuck kicking Elon's spine entirely out of his back, but I do also want to make it clear that I then want Zuck to trip over on his way out of the cage and end up in a unrecoverable coma
