Ah yes, Uzzy Udderbourne’s classic album, Moo at the Moon.

I nearly went the other way until the dotfiles thing. Bitwarden is fine at worst.

It’s really not about the tech. The “distro” is just a vehicle to rally against the “woke” left. That’s already pretty much on the surface; where the money will go and how much misery it inflicts is up for debate.

I've used it, it's useful! But I'm sure its replacements will be just as useful.

The canonical (proto-?)djent example is Bleed, IMO. But it's decidedly more unsettling than yours!

But also, I'm not expecting Apple to build something nearly open and customisable enough. Perhaps they can make the market attractive enough for a party who can.

I'm still looking for a *good* home automation platform, to be honest. HA is wondrous but it's also not entirely reliable. But what we need is something solid and standardised. Like KNX but actually not completely impossible to work with as an owner. So, interested in developments.

In the Netherlands, Belgians speaking Flemish often get Dutch subtitles 🫨

Unironically my most anticipated album right now is by a band of medieval peasants on an epic quest with a mandolin.

Hahaha not fat. Just bigger! Kimchi does not have swole bones.

Ohhh your one is chonkier but I mean that with love. ❤️

The kind of person who is min-maxing at this level most definitely needs to be max-maxing at the not being a douche level.

Didn't know he was much of a gamer.

Not super new, but newest! She's approaching 2 years old now. Oh how the time flies.

IDK if there's much of interest there, but thanks 😅

Maybe I got routed somewhere weird 🤷. Keep at it, fellow European!

Ohhh you sneaky! I like it.

I'm on that setup! Mu wasn't so happy until just now, though.

It's your duty to tell us when and where you move.

Kimchi loves to chill under my chair when I'm working outside. Love this dog.

Picture of a short-haired border collie who is also so cute you could eat her, lying down on some grass and looking at the camera. She's underneath a chair. A hand is petting her face, and you can see my legs and sadly also socks in crocs.

mu.social & Bluesky are not having a good time right now. But Blacksky's fine!

Don’t forget the second thing: off-by-one errors.

A Matter of Life and Death might be my favourite album of theirs, though it’s difficult to pick!

Unpopular opinion: Iron Maiden put out their best music in the 00s.

Had a precious few hours of time to myself, so I thought I'd do something productive but accidentally ended up on YouTube and watched stupid videos :(.

Jamie Schembri @jamie.schembri.me · 28/09/2026

Love this. Will be following. Intend to start writing more myself, too, and you’ve only added inspiration!

Phoenix is great. A fairly natural move for Rails devs.

It’s not sufficiently shared until you can barely make out text behind the jpeg artefacts.

My theory is that 90% of their hosting costs are on transactional mail.

Personal preferences are fine. Real hackers use whatever the hell they want to.

I call him Bathrobe Bob because he has weird takes while in a bathrobe.

It's becoming harder to find foods in the supermarket that don't scream "ADDED PROTEIN FOR TO GET EXXXTRA SWOLE". What will the next fad be? Added carbs? Fewer carbs? A pinch of flatulence?
