Aspen Abstract

There is something about the aspen forest in Colorado that draws my attention. This photograph represents somewhat of a dreamy state walking through these beautiful trees. This image was done without any Photoshop manipulations. This was done through a longer than normal exposure where I was able to imprint the details while blurring it at the same time.

Aspen Abstract

Imagine walking through a Colorado aspen forest in autumn. Tall, slender trees rise around you, their white trunks streaked with dark markings like brushstrokes on a canvas. The leaves above shimmer in golden yellows, catching the light as they rustle softly in the breeze.

Now picture this scene not as a sharp snapshot, but as if you’re drifting into a dream. The photograph uses a long exposure, so the trees appear both present and blurred—details imprinted yet softened, as though the forest is gently swaying even while standing still. The effect is surreal, like memory and reality blending together.

The mood is calm, contemplative, and slightly otherworldly. It feels less like looking at trees and more like feeling their essence—the rhythm of trunks rising, the glow of autumn light, the quiet mystery of the woods.

Today in it's the venerable ssh(1)/sshd(8)

While I grew up in an age where telnet(1) was my only option, the ssh folks made it a pretty drop-in replacement for the sorts of things I did with telnet, so switching was easy.

With the exception of when I'm rebooting or our ISP is having issues, I almost always have at least one SSH connection open and likely more than one connection to other hosts. Even in the "security" of our LAN in the house, I still SSH between machines rather than use unencrypted connections for transfer.

I love being able to run things remotely and use them locally, such as

$ ssh me@remote dmesg | xsel -ib

to put the remote machine's dmesg output on my system clipboard or

$ tar czvf - /path/to/data | ssh me@remote 'cd /destination/path ; tar xzf -'

to transfer a directory tree to a remote machine.

It generally has sensible defaults, allows me to force key-based authentication rather than username+password auth.

It allows me to limit $DAYJOB customers to SFTP-only access within their designated chroot directories, insulating them from each other.

I use it to tunnel into work and forward my RDP VM's screen so I can access it locally with rdesktop(1)

So many delightful little uses.

Definitely worth reading @mwlMichael Lucas :flan_set_fire:'s SSH book to learn more: mwl.io/archives/3126

Schedule for Social Web Developer Room at FOSDEM 2026

Evan Prodromou @evanprodromou@socialwebfoundation.org

The schedule for the Social Web Developer Room at FOSDEM 2026 is starting to be populated as the speakers confirm their availability. We had a tonne of great submissions for this year's track, and even with double the time from last year, we still had to leave some great talks on the cutting room floor. But we still managed to fit in 24 great talks, large and small. We're going to see some additional events happening as FOSDEM 2026 gets nearer. Watch the #SOCIALWEBFOSDEM hashtag for more news […]

其實一些中國的網路小說還是寫得不錯的,問題是常常會突然冒出各種莫名其妙的民族主義情緒。

本來寫小說多少帶點民族主義情緒也不算什麼,但問題是中國網路小說的民族主義都很奇葩,比如奇幻小說,就會表現得日韓的法術都很弱然後中國超強,這就很荒誕;不然就是外國人都是壞人只有大中國的人是好人就是大中國做出了跟外國人一樣的壞事也是反擊剛好而已。

重點是越好看的網路小說遇到這種事情時就越噁心,就像本來吃飯吃得還算開心的時候突然灌入了一口屎。
