And it is fun to see, again in real-time, what other people are working on and struggling with. In truth, Discord is no harder to sign up to than Slack, Matrix, Gitter, IRC, or whatever. And of…

How I run my servers (2022)
I've been writing recently about servers and internet infrastructure 1 . A lot of this writing is predicated on running server software on a VM or physical machine, rather than using a more cloudy solution, which is somewhat unpopular these days. However, I think it's a pretty reasonable way to do things, and it's not…

The pull request hack is fucking magic
I don't have time to keep up with all the daft Open Source projects I release. I wish my skill and my energy was as wide as my ambition.
