Ape PI: A digression: https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/08/13/ape-pi-a-digression.html

I fixed an issue on my blog where the archive and photos pages didn’t go anywhere. Please enjoy.

Started reading: The Dark Tower 7:The Dark Tower by Stephen King 📚

Finished reading: The Dark Tower V Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King 📚 Things are really heating up, and boy does King go hard. If you know you know.

Silly dream: I want my domain, chrisdeluca.me, to return something for every protocol supported by curl. 💽

What do you call an undead creature that sucks your nose? Nostrilatu.

Today I learned about the Trivial File Transfer Protocol, and the matching tftp command. It’s like FTP, but much more simple, less secure, uses less memory, and is sometimes used in initial bootloading on low memory devices. It ... https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/08/08/today-i-learned-about-the.html

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, 2025 - ★★★★★: https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/08/07/nirvanna-the-band-the-show.html

I saw Dan Deacon for the first time last weekend, and man does he put on a great show. The fans were genuinely kind and fun, very good vibes. No small feat!

I’ve really been getting into The Hellacopters recently. So far I’ve been working through their releases on Bandcamp, with Head Off and Grande Rock the primaries, but I’m looking forward to expanding my listening beyond that. 🎵

I used the unix look command to find every SASS variable in a file: look '$' my-file.scss. Kind neat, but the use case is pretty narrow. Anyone have a more wide use case for look? 💽

Focus on the cat, ignore the mess. 🐈

I got my signed copy of Difficult People. Great comedy on physical media won’t solve waves hands, but it sure helps.

I discovered the uuidgen command, which generates a unique ID like 3E7FE9F8-9D26-42BE-999D-43D2D34697BC. This seems like it would be great to use in some shell glue script or another. 💽

Hairspray, 1988 - ★★★★: https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/08/01/hairspray.html

Pure mood 🐈

The drama of soccer.

Alt-comic God Brian Poseidon. Is that anything?

I think Corey Doctorow is right about the corporate motivations and economic implications of AI. "AI can’t do the jobs it’s replacing: AI is predicated on the premise that the monopolies, duopolies and cartels that control the ... https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/07/30/i-think-corey-doctorow-is.html

Thomas Frank writes about politically noxious nostalgia for Harpers. It’s connects the bicentennial in 1976 with our current impoverished political moment. I think it strikes a chord. "Donald Trump didn’t invent the... https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/07/29/thomas-frank-writes-about-politically.html

NYC Bands 🎵: https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/07/28/nyc-bands.html

I’m just endlessly fascinated with the Hell Gate bridge.

I don’t think I ever posted this: Hellgate NYC, a great, local, journalist owned New York City news site, sends incredible T-shirts to their subscribers.

Don’t fear git rebase 💽

Following up on my God of Thunder post, it included some wonderful BBS information. You gotta love it.

God of Thunder for DOS 🕹️: https://www.chrisdeluca.me/2026/07/26/god-of-thunder-for-dos.html

My roommate and I watched Converge’s What’s in my Bag, and both wanted to look up all their picks online. That reference doesn’t seem to exist, so I made one. To the highly specific demographic for which this is useful, you’re welcome. 🎵
