What kind of typewriter should I get? My criteria, in rough order of importance are as follows: is a joy to use, needs only a light touch for readable text, has readily available consumables, is easy to maintain, is portable.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

If you were building a protocol that needed to authenticate a user on one machine, that is authenticating to another machine. Is there a better option than TLS + OIDC bearer token? This protocol will run in everything from browsers to esp-32 based devices.

Ian has a way of getting to the nub. This is basically the kind of thing I wrote to Tim Davie about in 2020, though I had no idea how bad it would get. Most of the media has not the slightest notion how to handle a situation like this, and instead tries desperately to normalize it.

Apptron is now the quickest way I know to make static websites. It's also the only static site host that makes your site work offline by default. Check out the demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PTR...

Pretty fitting given the people in charge of things that basically every attempted official justification for what the US was going for in Iran and why they hadn't foreseen any of the extremely foreseeable consequences is basically at the level of something you'd hear during a field sobriety stop.
