David Hockney passed away at 88 years old today.

He changed the way I see, photograph, (sort of) draw, and think.

He will get a celebrity’s death; the world knew him. A very public mourning for a man always in my head.

I dreamt I met him and he was so lovely and kind.

I’ll miss you, David. Thanks for stopping by.

"BREAKING! GEEF TEGENGAS IS BLOCKING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MICROSOFT DATA CENTER

While people can’t find proper housing and the climate crisis is escalating, Microsoft is building an enormous data centre in Amsterdam. Stop the data center that’s complicit in violence and oppression! This war machine doesn’t belong in our backyards.

As long as they keep building the data center, we will come back!"

The Spring 2026 of Security Vulnerabilities in BIRD

Since the beginning of the year 2026, we have been receiving bug reports generated by LLMs. It has never been as bad as with curl last year though.

My SRE talk from NANOG 97 is now available on YouTube! https://youtu.be/L6SRQ5RCMSo

Even though I've been on stage a few times in the last couple of years, this is my first NANOG talk. Feedback from the audience was positive, and while it was basic to a few folks, this information definitely needs repeating.

My latest interview with agentic web builders is with Ido Salomon & Liad Yosef, about MCP Apps and the rise of software apps inside of AI assistants & agents. In particular, they're focused on the UI aspects — including now generative UI.

Ido and Liad were among the first people I spoke to last year when web + AI was emerging, so it was great to catch up with them both! They each also have their own separate projects they're working on.
