Wind storms last week set in motion disaster recovery plans at NIST, and almost took out a primary time reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRB7pjRVVkI
I'm sure the folks at NIST running the Internet's time clocks were feeling the pressure, and they handled it well.

This is my face when some versions of Firefox on Android send a HTTP 'Accept: */*' header if you ask them for a reader-mode display of a page. Yes, they re-fetch the page to do so, unlike desktop Firefox.

Currently finishing drafting the OS 8.1 announcement mega thread. When I’m done should I make the website live a little early?
as promised, here is a repository that lets you quickly turn any random VPS into a Forgejo Actions runner in under 30 minutes, for use with Codeberg or your private forge! https://codeberg.org/whitequark/nixos-forgejo-actions-runner
it uses NixOS internally, but Nix knowledge is neither required nor assumed, and the README walks you through the entire process.

After years of careful observation and listening, I am firmly and deeply convinced that neurodivergence is real.
I have serious doubts about the existence of neurotypicality, though. 🧵

It's been, uh, a while, but I have a new newsletter out, based on some conversations here, about the irreconcilable experiences of LLMs that different groups have had and how that all boils down to afordances and how 'AI' is a terrible name and an even worse UX metaphor.
"AI" is bad UX

Getting together with family is a GREAT time to talk about familects — the words and phrases you use just with your family that nobody else would understand.
Ask your elders! Why does our family say "we're on Edgar" when the gas tank is low? Why do we say something is "blondie hot" when it's extra hot?
