round-up time, and I'm going to break with tradition and post these out of order - so that I can highlight my very favourite, a look at Piotr Grzesik's M8SBC-486.

It's a motherboard for an Intel i486 or compatible. But... scratch-built. Chipset delivered via , two ISA slots, it's capable of running DOS, Windows 3.x (though mouse support is a work-in-progress), Doom... Yeah. Wow.

There's this running thing where often I will plan to do laundry on a particular day but then when the day comes there will be sudden inclement weather that makes getting to and from the laundromat awkward. I assume this is like confirmation bias or whatever and not an actual effect.

Except *today*,

1.거인
기왕이면 막 3m 거인 이런것보다 행성과 크기를 견줄 수 있는 그런 초월적 존재가 참 맛있는 소재인데
2.장삼이사
그 누구도 특별한 존재가 아니고 명성은 그 이름 묶인 인간과도 별도로 움직인다
3.흔들리는 어둠
그림자 괴물이 원본에서 떨어지지 못하는 이유는 당신의 발 밑에 뿌리내리고 있어서가 아니라 원본이 없으면 더 이상 무엇이 되어야 할 지 모르기 때문이다

6년째 미네소타를 이끄는 크리스 핀치 감독은 "이곳에 있다는 것에 큰 자부심을 느끼는 사람으로서, 우리가 겪는 일들을 지켜보는 건 정말 힘들고 안타까운 일이다. 선수들도 나와 같은 마음일 거라고 생각한다"며 감정에 북받친 모습을 보였다. www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR2026...

I keep hand wringing about finding replacement services for Google, aws, GitHub etc, but what if I just run everything myself on my NAS and if I fuck it up, I fuck it up? If I run my own mail server will I spend all my free time trying to keep it running in a spam hurricane? Are any of my git repos really important to anyone but me, and if so I could just make a Jekyll page for them…

Last week I lost my job. It took me a while to process but now I’m ready to share.

If you or your company needs an experienced full stack developer who understands how the web works, knows modern tech, communicates well, please reach out.

My CV: pawelgrzybek.com/cv/

I'd appreciate if you could share. Thank you.

Weird that RSS readers look like email clients. Inbox on the left, message on the right, unread counts everywhere.

But email is people waiting on you. RSS is just... people talking, and you chose to listen. Nobody's waiting. There's no reply expected. It's a completely different relationship.

Why did we borrow the inbox metaphor for something that isn't mail?

I wrote about Minnesotans putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny.

Some thoughts from my new piece - angry and alarmed, but also hopeful and inspired:
