I am interested in model trains, electronics, electronic test equipment, HP calculators, FPGA, Ham radio, SDR, rustlang and much more. F# is my secret weapon.

Every day is an opportunity to suck at something new.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

'Binfluencer'

That's the guy on your street who puts the correct bin out early each week, thus signalling to everyone else which one they need to take out.

It will be interesting to see which target languages are more suitable for LLM-based code generation. Intuitively, I would think that the more strict and typesafe languages, such as Rust, Ocaml, F#, would fare better. If the compiler can stop me from doing something stupid, surely this must work for AI-generated code also?

I wasn’t convinced Claude could really replace me until I watched it trigger fail2ban while configuring fail2ban and lock itself out, just like I would have. 🫡

Laibach’s New Song: "Allgorhythm" (feat. Wiyaala)

For those unfamiliar with Laibach: they are not just a band, but an avant-garde art collective founded in 1980s Yugoslavia. From the start, they stormed through the Eastern Bloc’s art scene like a bulldozer, leaving authorities baffled and ultimately forcing them into exile. Laibach relocated to the UK, where they continued their provocative work.
Their music is layered with irony, reverse psychology, and biting sarcasm—never designed to be "nice" or easy listening. A recurring theme in their art is totalitarianism, and their new song, "Allgorhythm," seems to explore this very idea. Laibach has previously dissected totalitarianism from both the left and right, as well as religion, with their legendary trolling of North Korea standing out as a masterclass in subversion. Somehow, they secured an invitation to perform there as the first Western band ever—and made the most of it.
This new track is a clear critique of social media. It samples viral videos, and the title and lyrics expose how we’ve all become slaves to algorithms—a modern form of totalitarianism. I can’t wait for their new album.

Edit: Replaced the Youtube-link with the video.
