Elderly relative managed to set their iPhone wallpaper to a screenshot of their background. Consequently, the lock screen and notifications screens looked really weird, like they were fully transparent somehow. Apple ruined the experience so much with Liquid Ass that we thought it was just another UI bug for a good 10-15 minutes.

Neat. Debian broke the Dovecot auth_username_format in Trixie by no longer lowercasing the user part for the local user lookup in LMTP.

I am looking for work after finishing a lovely stint at overstory.com improving performance, scalability and security of a fastapi/react app, working on some "classic ML" pipelines improving the tracking of provenance, reproducibility and scalability, introducing Ibis and DuckDB.
I've done a mix of dev and ops since before we concatenated the strings, I'm pretty good with Python, Elixir, Terraform, Ruby, Clojure, Spark and have used AWS and GCP extensively.
I gave a talk a few years ago at Yow! about data pipelines that I still think is relevant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSe9MONZ6Kg
I'm interested in mostly remote consulting roles, helping friends out or plausible social good preferred.
Email me at [email protected] if you have anything interesting, boosts appreciated.
