Wrote some fairly involved Unixy process fiddling code in go(on Linux). Was shocked that it just worked with all tests passing on first try on openbsd. Apparently go is the thing that makes Unix portability work

Omer Bartov reviews Jochen Hellbeck's book on how the Nazis' geopolitical ambitions specifically against "Judeo-Bolshevism" were crucial fabric & "larger setting" of the Holocaust & WWII, ie not the West's strictly racial hatred dominant narrative. Western erasure of USSR vs Soviet erasure of Jews.

I made myself a cool tool to quickly eval quality of an internet link, it's a awk script over ping. Now i'm shocked by @tailscale.com degradation for a direct link on my lan.

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Apparently using AI makes you dumb. I was too dumb to figure out why ubuntu installer was hanging so i asked pi to ssh in and figure it out. Turns out its cos I picked ukraine timezone and ubuntu devs run their timezone installer in interactive mode and it got angry at Kyiv vs Kiev distinction

This is a really nice new Cloudflare feature: on-the-fly markdown conversion. Tools like Claude Code send an "Accept: text/markdown" header when making web requests. If you enable this it, it will send these agents a markdown version of your page instead of the full HTML. Really good for docs.
