Read: Vigil by George Saunders ★★★ 📚 Ghosts gather round a dying oil billionaire, trying both to make him understand the damage and ease his passage. The deceased are almost comic characters, a couple reminding me of the two old guys in the muppets.

एआईले आवाज नक्कल गर्दा सहमति कहाँ हुन्छ केही दिनयता सामाजिक सञ्जालमा अरूको आवाज जस्तै सुनिने एआई सामग्रीबारे बहस देखिरहेको छु। छोटो क्लिप सुन्दा रमाइलो लाग्न सक्छ, तर आवाज कसको हो, प्रयोग गर्न अनुमति दिइएको थियो कि थिएन, र सुन्ने मानिसले त्यसलाई वास्तविक ठान्लान् कि नठान्लान...

Some people say they have found pennies from heaven - my mom sent me scarabs.

For the keen red moment my knee scraped over the tarmac, I felt like a child again, grazed and quick. Then I had to pick the dirt out, and put on my own plaster, and find my own way home – and all of it without a tear in my eye,

This month's Emacs Carnival theme is The Search For Knowledge, which is kinda something near and dear to my heart. I wrote an Obsidian to Emacs post from a little over a year ago and one of the things that I mentioned is that Obsidian has a Knowledge Graph that …

This post continues my prediction of the 2026 Chargers roster. I had the good fortune to attend training camp this past Sunday. I was going to make an updated prediction then, but wisely decided to wait until last night's preseason game. Locks (43) I am not going to spend ti...

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…

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, […]

For sixty years we have been building systems to manage what we know. History - specific rules, behind firewalls, command and control thinking, dashboards, sales playbooks … and do not get me started on the ‘sales methodology’ industry. The world changed. Slowly. Then all at...

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...

How Pete Townshend’s drunken night with two Sex Pistols inspired The Who’s last classic song with Keith Moon.

But if you aren’t of that persuasion have no fear - what I really wanted t share was this:

🔗 Neil Vogel, CEO of People Inc., calls Google an “intentional bad actor” for using the same crawler for both search and AI.

Question - is Neil Vogel the ‘best thing since sliced bread’?

(Little Kiwi humour there.)

Looks Looked like a really interesting idea until I got to this screen. It speaks volumes.

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
