Understanding Color Management
I worked on a project where I dived deep into understanding how modern
color management works, including things like color spaces, ICC profiles
and more. As I learnt here and there, I decided to write this post, both
for my future self, and others who may struggle with some of the
concepts as well.

Color management deals with translating between representations of
colors across a variety of devices. Throughout this post, we’ll use
natural language as … ⌘ Read more

now twtxting from my netbook, on Lubuntu uiiii it works!

hello twtxt!!! tweeting with https://git.sr.ht/~noizhardware/twBao, still a work in progress :))

I’ve made some fixes to twtxt to make it work with Python 3.7+. I hope @buckket@buckket.org will apply this patch!

that is to say, both might be relevant for personal effectiveness, and both are tangentially related to big problems (how do we bring about good states of consciousness & how does society organise sexuality so that everything works ~well), but not much beyond that.

that’s why cold approach in person works so well, or why programming is easier than mathematics, or why you should build explicit models as quickly as possible (even if they’re shit), or why meditation is so hard

Conservative leadership race turns nasty between Poilievre and Brown

Hello! 👋 I haven’t lost the desire to blog, nor have I decided on Digital Detox, it’s just that I’m currently busy moving. Instead of continuing to program my own stuff after work and pouring my thoughts into blog articles, I had to pack boxes. Today was my last workday in the home office in the old apartment, Monday is the first workday in the home office in my new apartment. Then my blogging frequency will probably remain rather low, because I still have to clear out the old apartment, but I may have a little more … ⌘ Read more

How Kubernetes works under the hood with Docker Desktop
Docker Desktop makes developing applications for Kubernetes easy. It provides a smooth Kubernetes setup experience by hiding the complexity of the installation and wiring with the host. Developers can focus entirely on their work rather than dealing with the Kubernetes setup details.  This blog post covers development use cases and what happens under the hood […]

JMP: Why Bidirectional Gateways Matter
A big part of the vision of Sopranica, and Cheogram in particular, is bidirectional gateways.  A bidirectional gateway is one that allows (at a minimum) any user of either protocol to contact any user of the other protocol without creating an account.  This is not possible with all protocols, but works well when both sides are federated.

Take for instance sip.cheogram.com, which is a bidirectional gateway between XMPP and SIP.  Any … ⌘ Read more

Writing free software is like painting. You should do it if you feel like it, or if you, yourself, get something out of it. The moment you start to feel that you are owed something is the moment that you should stop doing it, because what you do from then on is probably not going to be any good. Is it even worth working on FOSS anymore? | Hacker News

In search of a new printer
At the moment I do not have a working printer at home. I have an inkjet printer, but due to a long period of non-use, the cartridge or the print head has dried up. If I want to print something, I have to do it in a copy store or a drugstore. This is possible, but especially if I need to print something spontaneously, or only a few pages, then the effort is annoying. ⌘ Read more

How Docker Desktop Networking Works Under the Hood
Modern applications make extensive use of networks. At build time it’s common to apt-get/dnf/yum/apk install a package from a Linux distribution’s package repository. At runtime an application may wish to connect() to an internal postgres or mysql database to persist some state, while also calling listen() and accept() to expose APIs and UIs over TCP […]

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com, I am sure profit—or the search for it—was involved. Most likely that pilot was a Ferengi in disguise. We are known to visit lesser planets seeking to exploit.
