What I have learned from people who have lived through dangerous times is that you believe you have nothing to hide, but as fascism creeps even the most innocuous thing can be used to harm you.

I'm Irish. When you see Irish characters, or Ireland, written about by British people for a British audience, it's all just... wrong. They get so much wrong, at best. At worst, it's ridiculously offensive and racist.

I'm a trans woman. Same thing happens with cis people.

И встретишь ты, когда не ждёшь,

И обретёшь, не там, где ищешь.

Ты просто так вперёд идёшь

И просто так ты дышишь.

И встретишь ты когда-нибудь

И обретёшь, уж не тоскуя,

Заканчиваешь длинный путь,

Ну, а сейчас… всё в холостую.

И встретишь ты, когда ни в чём

Тебе помочь никто не сможет,

И обретёшь, когда лучом

Солнце коснётся твоей кожи.

И встретишь, больше не беги

С извечным криком:"Я не верю!"

Ты обретёшь, когда шаги

Happy #Caturday! Here’s the obligatory “how it started…” post for our new housemate, who is doing quite well as a now-inside cat. But it was a stormy Halloween when he came to the door.

The argument shouldn't be:
"I don't have anything to hide, so you can surveil me,"

Instead, it should be:
"I don't have anything to hide, so you shouldn't surveil me."

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking. Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals… All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it. We CAN change things.

The ‘Hidden’ Microphone inside the Sipeed NanoKVM

Dare to be inconvenienced.

We have been trained to prioritize "seamless" experiences over ethical ones. But every convenience has a hidden cost, whether it is labor rights, environmental impact, or the erosion of privacy.

Efficiency is a metric for machines, not for a meaningful life. When we stop choosing products solely for their convenience, we reclaim our agency. We choose local over global, human over algorithm, and sustainable over instant.

What would happen if we stopped using services that do very little good for society, even if it means taking the long way around?

Now the MOST critical piece of Canada's climate policy...so let's just open it up for comment while most people are away on vacation or taking time off to spend with family, etc.

Opened on December 19, 2025 and will close to new input on January 30, 2026.

SMH. Are they hoping this flies under the radar?

I really enjoyed my visit to Bologna this year.

So if you want a reason to check out this lovely city, i encourage you to pitch!

Anna's Archive backed up Spotify. They got 99.9% of metadata, and 300TB of music representing 86 million tracks - original 160kbps OGG for tracks with popularity>0, and re-encoded 75kbps for popularity=0. absolutely wild project.

the metadata in particular is a hugely useful data source. MusicBrainz catalogues 5 million unique ISRCs (like ISBNs but for music releases), whereas this archive has a whopping 186 million.

The CFP for PyCon is still open…
just not the one in Long Beach 🏖️

Jokes apart, you can present your talk in Bologna at PyCon Italia 2026: English talks, 1k+ attendees, late spring weather, great food, and a historic city 🇮🇹

Want a 45U server rack?

It's FREE!

But you have to come get it from my workshop in Everett

Seriously this thing is taking up a big chunk of space and I want it *gone*

If nobody takes it by Jan 4th I'm just gonna push it out into the alley way and let nature take its course

TIL that “curb weight” is American English and British English spells it “kerb weight.”
