Exploring a clock synchronization problem

Busy day working on new RSS-based project. Will return later today or tomorrow. Still diggin!

After writing about my self-hosted RSS workflow, I’ve found the perfect desktop companion for Miniflux.

It’s Newsflash — a polished, native GNOME newsreader that connects directly to your Miniflux instance via API. It’s been my daily driver ever since.

What’s next: evaluation Android apps to connect to Miniflux, I’ll post the research in a future post :-)

With all the advances in AI, I’d have thought someone would have created an interactive AI Max Headroom by now…

My weekly blog post. Links this week include DOOM as a text adventure, a story about a jeweler and the golden egg that was his downfall and an artist who creates beautiful sculptures from old book pages and wheat paste. I talk about finding a recipe on an old Geocities site and trying it out, about postcard clubs and penpals and I let you all know what I recently updated on the website. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

เหนือ hardware มี networking บน networking มี app พ้น app ไป ก็มนุษย์ตัวนิ่มๆ

เพราะปัญหาส่วนใหญ่ ไม่ได้แก้ที่เทค แต่ต้องแก้ที่คนและการสื่อสาร (ถ้าใช้เทคแก้แล้วจบ ป่านนี้จบไปนานแล้ว ไม่คาราคาซังนานขนาดนี้หรอก)

I just said this to Claude: "I want to show people that RSS isn't just for news. It can be for mindless social media rants too." ;-)

When Bluesky is down, you can bookmark my news page on feedland.com for news from feeds I follow, in various categories. If you think there are feeds I should have, please send me an email.

Sunday reflection on the passing week. I charged my car battery! This might sound unimportant to you, but it was a big deal for me. My father was a handyman and I helped him a lot on different projects throughout my childhood. So in theory I have a good grasp of how to use t...

Imagine you were putting up a skyscraper in Manhattan. I lived in an area of the city, called Billionaire's Row, for nine years where I saw quite a few huge buildings go up from my living room window on the 50th floor. Now imagine you used a different plumbing system in every apartment, over 140 stories, with up to 15 residences per story. Different wiring. All the rooms are different shapes. How could you maintain such a building? I think ChatGPT might be able to do it but no human could. We need patterns to allow us to understand big things.

What you don't hear about AI is that it doesn't know how human minds work, what our limits are, what we can do that they can't. It has no memory. This was hard to believe, but you have to tell it to keep things in some kind of memory, usually a Markdown file, then tell it to...

What you don't hear about AI is that it doesn't know how human minds work, what our limits are, what we can do that they can't. It has no memory. This was hard to believe, but you have to tell it to keep things in some kind of memory, and then remember to tell it to read it. ...

Bluesky is having trouble keeping their network running. As a developer I empathize. As a user, it's beginning to be a problem. I am using it the way I used to use Twitter, taking notes for future blog posts, sharing a few linkblog feeds, DMing with people I work with, and want/need to keep going. I know about its lock-in problems, but at this time there's no open alternative that has the same collection of users who are easy enough to find. So if it stays unreliable I have to think about what to do about that. Every time I get a 403 Forbidden, I stop and think if this is the time to write a post? This was the time.

On Justin Reich's "Failure to Disrupt": why lasting change in education comes from the slow work of communities, not from the next disruptor or killer app.

Four million people with disabilities in the UK are living in poverty. In total, seven million people in poverty are either a disabled person or live with a disabled person - nearly half of everyone in poverty, highlights a new Joseph Rowntree (JRF) research report

Tolaria I just added this app this to my repertoire. I didn't get a chance to use it much yet, but it looks interesting — build a knowledge you can share with your AI that's version controlled and doesn't require an
