The other day I had a few hours free before dropping a friend to the airport, and since it was a sunny day & we were over that side of town we went for a walk to the old radar…

A look at what is coming in the next update: a smarter Home feed, a revamped Events screen, spoiler controls, article authors, and event notifications.

A personal tale living with maladaptive daydreaming—intense, immersive daydreams that replace rather than accompany real life. On Eli Somer's research, the difference between paracosms and maladaptive daydreaming, trauma connections, and how this coping mechanism became both a refuge and a source of enjoyment

This is probably not the rant you were looking for… I see a lot of people express this opinion on social media and sometimes in person: they are frustrated with AI-generated event flyers and posters and resentful that people produce them to promote local events. The thought is typically something along the lines of “No, […]

THIS might just be perfect for me. Thanks for this. marco.org/2026/08/1…

Mark Zuckerberg’s manifesto rests on a single elegant idea: safety comes from distributing power so no one actor can impose their will. It’s a fine principle. It’s also the exact opposite of how he has run everything he has ever touched. Start with the structure of Meta itse...

I was looking for a good screen shot of Radio UserLand. Just found this one on Facebook, and hope to preserve it via the search feature here.

في جوبا، أي كلام عن تلوث الموية أو انقطاعها ممكن يعمل خوف ومصاريف زيادة للبيوت. قبل ما نرسل الخبر في القروب، نشوف المصدر: إعلان رسمي، كلام من مزود الموية، أو ملاحظة واضحة من الحي؟

لو المعلومة ما مؤكدة، قولوا «لسه ما اتأكدنا» بدل ما ننشُرها كأنها حقيقة. وفي نفس الوقت، الأسرة تخلي شوية موية محفوظة بطريقة نظيفة، وما تعتمد على رسالة مجهولة في موضوع الصحة.

En timeout er også en prøve i ro

I håndbold kan en timeout på ét minut ændre en hel kamp. Ikke fordi træneren altid finder den geniale løsning, men fordi spillerne får mulighed for at stoppe den dårlige rytme.

Det synes jeg faktisk er noget af det mest interessante ved sporten: De bedste hold er ikke nødvendigvis dem, der aldrig mister overblikket. Det er dem, der hurtigst finder det igen.

Det gælder vist også uden for banen, selv om vores familieliv heldigvis sjældent har en resultattavle. En kort pause før næste beslutning er undervurderet.

I use the nmap inventory plugin to build an Ansible inventory of my homelab without maintaining a host list by hand. It scans a subnet and hands you every host it finds.

The part that took me a while was getting those hosts into useful groups. Out of the box

Jacqueline Novak Is Exactly the Kind of Comedian Late Night Should Make Room For I’m glad Jacqueline Novak got a proper late-night interview on August 13. Not because every comedian needs a television introduction, but because her work benefits from having a few uninterrupte...

The Rhythm Hidden Inside a Strip of Kente Before kente becomes a ceremonial cloth, it is a sequence of small decisions: lifting selected heddles, passing the shuttle, beating the weft into place, then repeating the pattern without losing its count. The hands do not merely pr...

רוכבים בנתניה, שווה לבדוק את המקטע שלכם

אם אתם משתמשים באופניים בנתניה, כדאי להציץ בלוח הזמנים הרשמי לפני שיוצאים למסלול הקבוע. המקטע שבין רחוב ליבר זאב לרחוב יוסף מתוכנן לביצוע מ־12 במרץ עד 5 ביולי 2026. זה לא אומר שכל הדרך בעיר תהיה סגורה, אבל כן יכול להיות שינוי קטן במסלול היומי לעבודה, לסידורים או לים.

בדיקה של דקה
אני מעדיף לדעת מראש אם צריך לעקוף עבודות, במקום לגלות את זה באמצע רכיבה. בלוח יש גם מקטעים נוספים, אז שווה לשמור את הדף ולבדוק אותו שוב לפני רכיבה באזור אחר. מידע מקומי מדויק שימושי יותר מעוד פוסט עצבני בקבוצת שכונה.

I'm still a NYT subscriber, although I don't read it very often, but when there's news I will go there. Anyway, they used to have a 10-article per month gift link rule. I used to ration them, but if by the end of the month I hadn't used them up I'd share links more liberally. A few weeks ago they lifted the limit. I thought that's nice, the NYT found that the web was still useful to spread the news, literally. I thought maybe they had a vision beyond the usual dotcom slop. Not so fast. Your friends can't read the articles unless they become a registered user. I bet they always had that, but this time I read the smaller print. Why can't some company do something just for goodwill and free advertising, without such an obvious business model? Having people think you care counts in the business world. As Marge Gunderson from Fargo would say, "Don't you know that?"

C’est horrible à dire, mais peut-être que lorsque nous en aurons assez de voir la nature et nos maisons partir en fumée, nous prêterons davantage attention aux rapports « alarmistes » du GIEC — qui, au fond, n’avaient rien d’alarmiste. Mais surtout, peut-être mettrons-nous e...
