Okay the world and my inbox is too much.

This year, I’d like to read at least:
- one [achievable goals!] nonfiction book
- one novel that is neither SFF nor mystery.

Ideally books that will not make me feel even worse about reality.

Who’s got a rec in either category you love that I may love?

Spend enough time in certain circles (*cough* LinkedIn *cough*), you’ll no doubt come across a rather peculiar line of argumentation extolling the world-changing virtues of the slop machines.

We are told that these services aren’t to be lauded merely on the merits of what they can do for us in the course of performing creative work, but also for this reason: armed with access to these services, you can Take Down The Man.

And by "The Man", they mean…artists.

Today, I lived through one of those (not only IT) horror stories. It's not over yet, but it’s definitely going to end up in a blog post. It's one of those situations where the 'horror' has already happened or is still going to happen, but this time, I'm the one handling the rescue. I couldn't prevent the disaster itself, but I managed to save the data.
What-a-day!

yesterday I was talking to someone from cl*udfl*re and they mentioned the "three sites" they'd banned, and the third one was 8chan
but since it was noisy I thought they said "HN" and I was momentarily really happy that amongst the transphobia site and the nazi site, their horrible employer had banned hacker news.

sadly, it was not to be

I wrote a photo essay with 20+ of my favourite tech museums in the world, and tried to figure out what makes a great museum in the process.

I am very curious what tech museums you like – and why!

Maybe you want to boycott U.S. products. Or you’re concerned about security and privacy. Or you’ve seen the Trump administration retaliate against political enemies by cutting off their access to U.S.-based digital services and don’t want to be vulnerable to the same sanctions.

Whatever the reason, you may find this very useful. https://www.threads.com/@parismarx/post/DTGdaPDkpos

oh my, it's only the 5th day of the new year. i'm already exhausted.

Need cross-thread synchronization without freezing the main thread? 🥶

Atomics.waitAsync() returns immediately and resolves when another thread calls Atomics.notify().

Perfect for coordinating workers with SharedArrayBuffer.

Okay, 2026 is the year I am going to actually get back into writing.

I have three ideas for articles lined up.

1) Advanced, and often crazy, networking under FreeBSD.
2) MPLS on JunOS in my home, the how and why.
3) A brief history of IP Networking; Classful vs CIDR and FLSM vs VLSM.

Now I just gotta do it.

I can't honestly say I have any sympathy for people who feel betrayed by #GitHub, considering that GitHub has always been a #proprietary platform.

If you are a #FOSS coder, why on Earth would you ever host your FOSS code on a non-FOSS #infrastructure system??

It's a recipe for betrayal. Andreesen Horowitz invested $100M USD in GitHub all the way back in 2012, and *now* you're upset?? #VultureCapital

#Optique 0.9.0 is here!

This release brings #async/await support to #CLI parsers. Now you can validate input against external resources—databases, APIs, Git repositories—directly at parse time, with full #TypeScript type safety.

The new @optique/git package showcases this: validate branch names, tags, and commit SHAs against an actual Git repo, complete with shell completion suggestions.

Other highlights:

• Hidden option support for deprecated/internal flags
• Numeric choices in choice()
• Security fix for shell completion scripts

Fully backward compatible—your existing parsers work unchanged.

Periodic reminder that RSA had Kristi Noem keynote last year, and as the 'will you be at RSA?' emails start to roll in, the answer is of course, 'hell to the fucking no'.

I want to mumble for a bit about "worldbuilding". Of course the term is vague and disputed, but I find a lot of folks seem to think in terms of 'players/readers that like it and those that don't'.

I think this idea is a bad one, because I hear devs talking about making worldbuilding stuff for that group, or avoiding it because of the other group.

Seems like a bad way to organize your process.

Worldbuilding is useful in specific ways, and useless if done without those goals. 🧵
