Hi Christopher, I really liked this article. > It is hard, though, to build and maintain the structures of the old, “smaller” internet. I agree. Even just setting up an RSS reader and finding a lit…

I'd be interested to hear about your experience. My contact info is in my bio if you're up for it. I do really like the Pixel line, and I'd be excited to upgrade if I were sure the new …

Yep, my Pixel 2 is as good as dead because the bootloader can't be unlocked, Google refuses to do anything about it, and software updates stopped a long time ago. Great way to lose me as a custom…

It's hard to overstate the continued benefits of the Landsat program. Virginia Norwood's work helped set the stage for new industries. NASA's write-up about her from 2020 includes more …

I can relate to this. I know people who might call me "incompetent but nice" after having worked with me when my mental health was really bad. Figuring out how to work through my ADHD (and, …

That's what happens with Windows. Most folks just use the included OS when they buy a computer, but I doubt many Linux users would. Some of these vendors go the extra mile to load up coreboot or…

I've had success blocking the ads using a pi-hole. You still see ads for Duolingo Super and other in-house offerings, but the obnoxious video ads go away.

I have very little understanding of how Pascal and Delphi are designed, or what they're good for. Any resources for learning about these languages, for someone who was born after their primetime?

Oh man these comments are hilarious. It sounds like the artist's intent (or, claimed lack thereof) has done exactly what it set out to do! Saying that you had no artistic intent is art in of itse…

My eventual goal for this image is to deploy it in a Kubernetes cluster. As you can tell I'm just starting this process, but I want to be mindful of how I can keep my container secure as it runs …
