Holy fucking hell we are in deep shit, Will Robinson.

"Age verification" is a Trojan horse for the END of digital freedom.

A must read thread from @sleepyowl@chaos.social, particularly for anyone laughing off the "oh they're trying to enforce age verification at an OS level, well I'll just change my open source operating system settings" Y'all, this is the game where we get LOCKED OUT of having ANY real FOSS operating system we control AT ALL The steps have been being put in place for this for over a decade now. And who controls the supply chain? We have to fight this stuff tooth and nail.

Remember in the late 1990s, when Intel announced unique hardware identifiers on each CPU?

The compliant types screamed, "It's fine, it's just cookies in hardware! It's actually good for consumer safety!"

Yeah, back when cookies were considered harmless by most...... It was of course far more than just cookies in hardware, it was so much worse. But some of us saw the problems. Some of us saw it for the hell that it was.

We are the same people saying this new shit is bad.

You gonna listen this time? Just because we are paranoid doesn't mean we aren't fucking right.

I don't know if this is a real effect or not but "Zeigarnik effect" seems like a good name for a subjective feeling that I bet everyone finds familiar.

For example, an unfixed bug stays uppermost in your mind but the moment it's fixed I feel like it quickly fades - annoyingly so because sometimes you feel like you've just met the same problem again but can't remember the previous time.

And on a sadder note, unfinished conversations with people who passed away. I feel almost haunted by a couple.

🙄 South Korean Police Lose Seized Crypto By Posting Password Online

｢ The operation originally resulted in the confiscation of crypto holdings worth about 8.1 billion won, or roughly $5.6 million. However, officials later issued a press release to showcase these efforts in recovering delinquent taxes, and the release included photographs of Ledger hardware wallets taken into custody along with handwritten notes that displayed the wallet seed phrases ｣

最近在讀 Oliver Burkeman 的《人生４千個禮拜》（Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals）。作者很擅長引經據典，其中引用了文豪波赫士寫的一段話，讓我產生好奇，找了原文來讀，驚覺實在很美。不愧是文豪啊。

“Time is the substance of which I am made. Time is a river that sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that mangles me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges.”

Jorge Luis Borges, “A New Refutation of Time”

Loup-Vaillant wrote this on Lobste.rs in a dumb rant about my Matrix disclosure:

Personally I would actively avoid the check,

Hmm. What a weird thing to say.

Loup-Vaillant wrote a cryptography library called Monocypher, which famously had an EdDSA vulnerability mostly caused by their insistence on rolling their own custom EdDSA variant to avoid SHA512.

"I wonder how Monocypher holds up in 2026?"

Who said that? Well, anyway:

Surrounded by elaborate sewing projects in my office as I work on a new website and relaunch for Catharsis really brings home the vibe of what I want my next professional chapter to feel like. Gorgeous, bespoke, artful, ambitious, exceptionally functional, more than a little badass

Wrote a blog post to give a status update on WASI support for CPython as PEP 816 got accepted!

State of WASI support for CPython: March 2026

It's been a while since I posted about WASI support in CPython! 😅 Up until now, most of the work I have been doing around WASI has been making its maintenance easier for me and other core developers. For instance, the cpython-devcontainer repo now provides a WASI dev container so people
