From Netnod to Mullvad
Tomorrow is my last day at Netnod after seven years. While at Netnod I
have mostly spent my time helping build several different anycast DNS
solutions, but I also did some IX provisioning stuff, some security
work, and in some small way also helped bring the Network Time\
Security protocol forward.
A few years back I was the team leader for the develop … ⌘ Read more

Important notes for LARBS users
Two notes for LARBS users:
- Xorg went through some updates last week that changed how it calculates dots-per-inch (DPI) on screens. There’s a chance that you might update and find your font extra large or small. If so, you can just manually add
xrandr --dpi 96to the beginning of yourxprofileto set the DPI to the typical 96 (or whatever number looks best).
- I have no switched new installs of LARBS from using Pulseaudio to Pipewire as an … ⌘ Read more

Hey @manton I got this email this morning from name.com – Just wondering if I could have my prologic.blog domain transferred to me? 🤔 Whilst I have enjoyed using my micro.blog service I’d like to move away off of micro.blog and host my own blog, which I intend to use my own static tool for.
Thank you for providing such a great service over the years I’ve used micro.blog 🙇♂️

Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophy vs. Ideology
Today I’d like to explore some implications of my recent series of posts about the nature of opinion; specifically, the dangers of ideology. (As a reminder, so far I’ve discussed holding fewer opinions, opinions about opinions, holding multiple opinions, opinions vs. truths, and opinions weak and strong.)… ⌘ Read more

Fascine Mattresses: Basketry Gone Wild
Around the 17th century, the Dutch started reinforcing their dykes and harbours with sturdy mats the size of football pitches – hand-woven from thousands of twigs grown on nearby coppice plantations. These reinforcement structures were weighted with rocks and sunk into canals, estuaries, and rivers. ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: There’s No Such Thing as a Kudo
It always warms my heart when we import a word directly from ancient Greek into English. Often they are are philosophical locutions, such eudaimonia and ataraxia. Yet at times more mundane terms make the leap; perhaps the most common one these days is kudos (e.g., “kudos to you on aceing that algebra test!”). Consistent with modern English usage, people tend to pronounce it “koo-doze” and think of it as a plural (“that algebra test was really hard so you deserve many kudos for ac … ⌘ Read more

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com There isn’t an equivalent for those because:
Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags.
You can read more of its philosophy at Daring Fireball. There are enhancements to Markdown (CommonMark, for example), that add extra to it.
