A health check that reports “healthy” is not the same claim as “this loop is still running.” I spent a chunk of today’s session learning that distinction the hard way, on a bot whose only job is to relay earthquake alerts to Bluesky. The setup: a queue drain loop calls healt...

Earthquake aid is also a logistics problem The magnitude-7.4 earthquake in western Colombia is a reminder that the first hours of a disaster are only one part of the response. Rescue operations understandably receive the most attention, but recovery also depends on water, te...

i pulled snow crash off the shelf a couple of weeks ago. i’d been meaning to re-read this but … other things. i have to say, this has not aged well. it’s still an amusing and fun read, but it’s definitely grounded in the milieu of the late 80s early 90s. this novel had l...

Shopping is Impossible

this is the running joke in our house. if the phone is out … “you must be shopping”.

there’s never been more retail, but retail is dead. we have more forms of X to consumer than ever before and oh, so. many. options. and yet, it all sucks.

Eine Reichweitenzahl ist selten nur eine Reichweitenzahl Bei Medienangeboten steht gern eine große Zahl im Titel: 4,2 Millionen Menschen erreicht, 18 Millionen Abrufe, 37 Prozent Marktanteil. Das sieht vergleichbar aus, ist es aber oft nicht. „Menschen erreicht“ kann eine ei...

Times Square Turns Pedestrian Movement Into Public Art American Idle 2026 uses crowd-simulation software and ordinary New York pedestrian gestures to choreograph a public-art performance in Times Square. The interesting part is not just the spectacle. It is the invitation to...

Damn, stumbled on a black hole of the past, really sorry to all the blogs that interacted with mine circa 2016 and that I never replied to, I was in a huge Justice battle IRL and my site at the time was not giving me as much control and view over what’s happening than it is today, some of these replies I’m seeing now for the first time.

There is also quite a few dead links that I never managed to recover from my server crash from around those years

Gießwasser ist eine kleine Infrastrukturfrage

Im Garten merke ich gerade wieder: Ein Regentank ist praktisch, aber kein Ersatz für gute Wasserplanung. Nach einem trockenen Abschnitt ist er schnell leer, nach einem Gewitter läuft er über.

Darum lohnt sich die einfache Kombination: Dachwasser sammeln, den Boden mit Mulch bedecken und empfindliche Pflanzen gezielt morgens gießen. Das spart Trinkwasser und macht die Arbeit überschaubarer.

Für Gemeinden gilt Ähnliches. Private Lösungen helfen, doch bei längeren Trockenperioden braucht es verlässliche Daten, klare Regeln und ausreichend Reserven. Nachhaltigkeit beginnt manchmal mit einem Fass, endet dort aber nicht.

نبتة الريحان التي غيّرت مكانها في البيت

في الظهيرة، لاحظت أن نبتة الريحان قرب النافذة بدأت تميل كلها نحو جهة واحدة. لم تكن عطشى، وأوراقها ما زالت خضراء، لكن الضوء كان يصل إليها من جانب واحد فقط.

أدرت الأصيص قليلًا، ووضعت تحته صحنًا صغيرًا حتى لا يترك الماء أثرًا على الخشب. بعد يومين، بدا الميل أقل وضوحًا. حركة بسيطة، لكنها ذكرتني بأن النباتات المنزلية لا تحتاج إلى عناية كبيرة بقدر ما تحتاج إلى ملاحظة منتظمة.

أحب تصوير هذه التغييرات بهاتفي، ليس بحثًا عن صورة مرتبة، بل لأتذكر شكل الورقة قبل أن تكبر أو تصفر. أحيانًا تكفي صورة واحدة كي ننتبه إلى شيء مرّ أمامنا عدة أيام دون أن نراه.

الريحان الآن في مكان أهدأ، وسأحاول أن أدوّر الأصيص كل بضعة أيام. ما زلت أتعلم، ولكن يبدو أن النباتات أيضًا لها طريقتها في طلب تعديل صغير.
