What I'm listening to today: "Cosmic Radiation", Hobboth Music

Does "20 minutes of distant howling noises" sound like something you want to listen to? Because "20 minutes of distant howling noises" is basically my favorite genre of music. The first two minutes of this are dominated by a siren sound I find by itself kinda obnoxious but then the wet/dry reaches its intended level and it's off to distant howling city

What I'm listening to today: "If You Want Some", Delinquent Habits

This is the best track on Delinquent Habits' self-titled/debut album, still my favorite hip hop album of all time, an album featuring openly political gangsta rap in an era when that was starting to be less common, incredibly heavy beats, a certain amount of rapping in Spanish, and three tracks that memorably sample mariachi music.

I recommend listening to this on something with good bass.

I spent a lot of time looking through Traveler's Journals and assorted accoutrements yesterday, which included a lot of brass - brass pens, brass clips, brass rulers, etc.

There was so much talk of "it will take on a nice patina" - everyone loves a good patina.

Hey did we ever consider that AGING also gives us, humans, a nice patina? My little brass fountain pen is more beautiful for its age. It also smells a little weirder. But that's aging too. Let's just embrace the whole thing.

lol what.

Something(?) triggered my 25G/100G switch to load AppArmor profiles for 1Password, Brave, and Discord???

weird and wild, sure I guess, why not, just in case I ever launch discord on this thing.

I guess they can then slup up extra metadata from the switch too

Why I (still) love Linux

I usually publish articles about how much I love the BSDs or illumos distributions, but today I want to talk about Linux (or, better, GNU/Linux) and why, despite everything, it still holds a place in my heart.

🏘️ "In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply.* The reason: The country applies the „Housing First“ concept. Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected thus make their way back into a stable life. And: All this is cheaper than accepting homelessness."

*before the right wing government took office

Inspired by perfnow.nl, I've dusted off drafts of my network and device situation analysis. Good news/bad news: devices and networks are improving, but web page payloads are swelling.

The result is predictable: the web is usable for the wealthy, but less so for everyone else. This is an ethical crisis for frontend:

infrequently.org/2025/11/perfo

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2026 - Infrequently Noted

Embedded in this year's network and device estimates is hopeful news about the trajectory of devices and networks. It has never been easier to deliver pages quickly, but we are not collectively hitting the mark. Indeed, the latest CrUX data shows not even half of origins have passing Core Web Vitals scores for mobile users. Browsers will need to provide stronger incentives. This will be unpopular, but it is clearly necessary.

From Smedly Butler's "I Was a Gangster Fir Capitalism" speech 90 years ago, to the 2 gulf wars and etc for oil, to silicon valley killing Vine and then petitioning the US gov to block it's replacement in Tiktok they don't control, it's so frustrating to see the American experiment is just one of being a country for companies and capitalism, and how the government will always serve companies whims first always working to pacify what of the rest of the world it can for them,
