Linux Does Not Suck 2012
Watch now (21 min) | In 2012 I did two shows, “Linux Sucks” and “Linux Does Not Suck”, back-to-back at Linux Fest NorthWest. We had no good plan to record this show. Just winged it with a handheld camera in the audience. The first part appears to be lost to the sands of time. Luckily we still have a recording of the second part: “Linux Does Not Suck 2012”. ⌘ Read more

Based.Cooking, the cooking site I/we made a year or so

** That one time when Buffy the Vampire Slayer maybe saved my life? **

We don’t have meaningful social connections anymore like our parents or their parents geeration had. We are so scattered, that I am unsure how many of my friends are actually friends and how many are just professional contacts. Everytime I switch job, almost 70% of my friends suddenly fall out of contact. Heck, I don’t even know the people who live in next apartments both left, right, up and down on the same building. Socializing with my friends mean, setting up an appointment weeks ahead to see if we can align on a free-slot and this often involves all of us commuting to somewhere and disbanding by 22:00 hours because family, work next morning, chores to do, doctor appointment and other human things.

hang web developers by ropes whose length is inversely proportional to the loading time of their pages
people liked the old SSC more than ACX because substack is chickenshit minimalism, and it’s slow. you have to wait for the fucking text & comments to appear, while the old site loaded pretty much instantaneously. people have learned to associate chickenshit minimalism aesthetic with slow loading times, and subconsciously detest it bc of that.
humans have invented mathematics surprisingly early (while the status of the number zero was still being debated in ancient greece), and programming surprisingly late (although algorithms were around for a long time, they didn’t catch on until later, even though they seem like an at least equally intuitive concept?)
