- Books: IP words
- Music: IP notes
- Paintings: IP brush strokes

W3C friends:
I remember TimBL talking/writing about a metaphor for the Web which was like a mashup of Dunbar’s layers: like, the concentric layers of a web could represent your family on the inside, then your neighborhood, your church, etc. all the way out to global scale.
Does anyone else remember this? If so, where is it from? I looked through Weaving the Web and his site and couldn’t find anything.
OH: "you should be allowed to place down a headmate like an IP core"
생각해봤는데 현대에 가장 안전한 운영체제는 윈도우 3.1같음. 유튭에서 사기꾼하고 장난치는 아죠시가 있는데 할머니 목소리로 바꿔 윈도우 3.1 기계로 상담원이 시키는대로 뭐 설치하려고 하는걸 생각해보니 그렇다. 윈도우 3.1 매우 안전함 (......)

I was at the grocery store the other day, wearing a mask, as usual.
A woman stopped me and said, "thank you for wearing a mask when you're sick."
"Oh, I'm not sick."
A realization seemed to come over her face. She then said, "oh, so you don't get sick."
I haven't been sick in over 5 years.
I'm once again begging people to stop blaming the victims of shitty techbro nonsense. Switching cost is never zero.
Spicy take:
Normal people shouldn't self host.
From an energy use perspective, the users per watt are WAY higher in a data center.
People are already awful at running patches and doing security updates.
OMG are people awful at doing backups.
From an ewaste POV, consumer electronics just don't have a very long lifespan, fail more frequently, are rarely upgradable, and easily broken. Enterprise grade servers in a data center are better.
Hosted services actually have a SOC to monitor what the fuck is going on and investigate unusual things. An individual normal user would never notice their self hosted server being popped for forever, and we already have far too many zombies.
Sure, megacorps aren't trustworthy stewards of key internet services like email either. But telling everyone they need yet another home appliance, but one you're going to have to fuck with several hours per month to keep running.
Dynamic DNS suck balls, IPv4 is running out, hosting shit being a NAT and reverse proxies and shch is its own thing, and lots and lots of people don't have very good home internet links.
Up front cost - yes, I know people "pay" for their social media and email with their privacy and advertising. But that means that saying they need to spend several hundred on a whole new computer and find a place to put it or rent a VPS or ...
Fact of the matter is, some sort of SaaS setup for web services IS the right solution for 97% of users. Scolding people for being abused by unregulated tech companies isn't solving anything. The right solution is to make people become more aware of the intentional and malicious enshittified bullshit techbros are cramming down their throat, and lobby the government to strengthen regulations.

A report of >3M finance & tech workers at companies that rolled out RTO mandates found women's turnover is 3x as high as men's & women more likely to take a lower position if they leave. Many left for roles in industries they had never worked in before. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/10/11/rto-mandates-gender-wage-gap/

I like going to hotel gyms in the US. With the local nonsensical measurements for weight and distance you feel like the friggin Hulk lifting those high number things.
I disagree with a lot of people here, and that's fine. We can disagree on what tax rates should be. We can disagree on the best mix of public and private ownership. We can disagree on the amount of government involvement in markets. We can disagree on what privacy rights need to be protected by governments versus which need to treat the government as the adversary. We can disagree on which OS is best. We can disagree on the best way to build a Free Software ecosystem (we can even disagree on whether that's a desirable goal).
But we can't disagree on which people are people. If your perspective is that some people are not people, there is no way that we can still have a meaningful conversation. That's not a 'there are two sides' kind of debate. That's a 'no, this isn't a debate and we can't build a functioning society if you disagree' kind of debate.

Hearing talk of how AI is causing software quality to plummet, the most disturbing thing for me is that software quality—when considered next to other engineering disciplines—has never been very good.
I’ve long said “If we built bridges like we build software, people would die.” but more and more, people depend on software to work in critical situations just like we depend on bridges to not kill us when the wind blows too hard.
Relatively, this software quality slide is even more terrifying.
Accusing someone you know is transmasc of mansplaining is a form of malgendering.

@perikitapreta that's not what I mean, your post originally was in English but he didn't understand the context and understood you were saying something that you were not. Its really ok I would just let it go and move on

New blog post! A look at the region converter hidden in some early NES games, an analysis of an NES epoxy blob cart, and an attempt to repair a broken Famicom cartridge. A bit disconnected but I hope you enjoy! https://nicole.express/2025/not-just-for-robert.html

I made a tour of an obscure window system called Bellcore MGR, made by the Bell Core Research and bearing a strong resemblance to Plan 9's 8.5.
The tour also comes with a short overview of the $HOME MOVIE film authoring tool from 1990. There are many screenshots, a 40-minute long video with Mozart and Liszt, and a hard disk image for 86box.
Like, share, boost, comment <3

Absolutly heartbreaking to see the stream of pictures of Palestinians getting back to their houses and all that's left is a pile of rubble. Fuck every last perpetrator of this horrendous genocide. More harm has been done in the last 2 years then I can possibly imagine.
I adopted a cat that used to live with a blacksmith, but the first thing she did when we got home was make a bolt for the door.
