I feel this. I do not like them and do not use them. However, I come to think that that's a privilege I have. The most prolific voice noters in my life are all heavily dyslexic. Others are occasionally in crisis. I can live with that, I think.

If you're someone who cares about open source software, data privacy, and/or just general health data nerd stuff (or all of the above) I can't recommend watching @bennettoxford.bsky.social CTO Seb Bacon's inaugural lecture enough. It was fantastic. Link in here: www.bennett.ox.ac.uk/blog/2026/06...

The @bmj.com asked for my opinion on the single patient record as the NHS modernisation bill heads into its second reading. So here is my opinion www.bmj.com/content/393/... That the NHS needs better information continuity is undeniable, but the programme is also at risk of repeating past mistakes

There's only one correct way forward for handling the introduction of MLKEM into TLS, and, indeed, all future tls-wg cryptography debates, and it's this proposal: snkth.com/add-crypto/

Thoroughly enjoyed Mr Wilson's 2nd Liners last night. New Orleans style funeral marching band doing 90s dance covers. Exactly as awesome as it sounds. Outer Space and Glory Box were particularly enjoyable.

Simple way to reasonably run a background process in a docker container. Saves setting up s6 or similar. Uses the run-one-constantly tool from the run-one package to keep it running, and the default docker init process to propagate signals to all child processes. gist.github.com/bloodearnest...

If you've been wondering where I went: my team in Oxford (60 of us!) build beautiful tools for NHS data. We help researchers work on the whole nation's GP records while protecting - provably - everyone's privacy. It's big potatoes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjR...
