RE: https://hachyderm.io/@davidculley/116984144382730224 I agree that there's a lack of understanding democracy in some circles. #codeberg's members made a collective and democratic decision, and there's nothing wrong with that. What I have a harder time is the argumentation that's used, and […]

So it seems that #codeberg decided to participate in the #ai polarisation. I don't judge them for that, it's their choice, of course. But, I can see how that will cause another exodus. More network drama, more polarisation. Will the next place also be (quasi-)centralised? I prefer to self-host […]

On the topic of bad design: f-ing low contrast. What the hell were the designers thinking?
So, it appears that crates.io has you depend on github. That's rubbish, and doesn't increase my enthusiasm for #rust.
I was at #suomiareena today, and listened to Justin Trudeau talking mainly about democracy and its values for an hour. I could have listened for longer. He's one of those that, at least in my mind, will be remembered as one of the great and good people of this era, alongside Barack Obama.
[sigh] watching someone trying to register their f-secure license key. I starts ok: https://myf-secure.com/register/<LICENSE-KEY> But then, this redirects to a completely different URL, starting with http:// Security in 2026 is found wanting...
According to https://no-color.org, setting the environment NO_COLOR means strip away the ANSI *color codes*, not *all* ANSI style codes. It seems, though, that too many confuse bold, italics and similar with color, i.e. strip away *all* ANSI style codes when NO_COLOR is set. This seems to have […]

If I say "I'll be there by nn", and you think you heard a precise time, then you didn't hear me.
Do I want to get into the AI debate? ... Nah. Move along, nothing to see.
Ok, rant mode on... Why. The F*CK. Does. Everyone. *Assume*. Dark mode? Yeah, I know, "everyone" loves dark mode. I. Don't! But apparently, I'm supposed to. So here's what I get for just starting a new tool I wanted to try out. Completely f*ing unreadable.

In Sweden, you may here people say "katten paste" (in english, that would be "the cat paste"). Seems like nonsense to the non-Swede, and yet... See, the "cut'n" in "cut'n'paste" sounds very much like the swedish word for "the cat" (you guessed it, it's "katten"!). I hope you enjoyed this […]

Utvisningspolitiken är nu så omänsklig att den strider mot grundlagen, anser professor Ludvig Beckman som hoppar av Migrationsverkets etiska råd där han suttit sen 2019. ”Utvisningarna har löpt amok. Jag vill inte legitimera det”, säger han. www.dn.se/sverige/han-...

In Bruxelles, someone from Sweden needs to learn not to wear so warm clothes. I'll learn, any decade now...
I'll be at FOSDEM this weekend. On Saturday, I'll spend quite a bit of time at the OpenSSL stand. Come say hi! On Sunday, I plan to hang quite a bit in the local-first devroom (see https://openlocalfirst.org/).
Open Local First
For the first time this year, the FOSDEM conference will host a devroom for Local First, CRDTs and sync protocols and sync engines. FOSDEM is the biggest Free and Open Source conference in Europe. This is a great opportunity to learn from the best speakers, and meet other developers interested in Local First software. Checkout the program of the whole devroom, on Sunday 1st of February 2026.

Not holding policemen accountable when they kill someone has two effects: 1. Other policemen will hesitate less before killing someone. 2. Citizen will be more afraid and protest less in front of policemen. (the more the news speak about it, the more afraid they will be) 3. The few remaining […]

Between LLVM, LVM and LLM, sometimes my head's spinning... especially when tired and doing an 'apt full-upgrade', seeing that 'llvm' will be updated, and somehow wondering when the hell AI invaded my Debian laptop. #tired
