It occurs to me that the are so many YouTube creators now who use the term "rinse and repeat" to mean "repeat" are too young to have ever needed to read a shampoo bottle to pass the time.

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.

The interoperability era of PCs was a great time. I have so many old phones and tablets with no standard "bios", and various maybe kind of hacks to get some other software running on it.

I just want to be able to install Linux on a tablet that is too old to run the stock os usefully. The screens, even the cpus are decent for a lot of uses, but with no security patches, they're mostly unusable.

There ought to be a law!

I have a short talk featured on PlatformCon's remote stream:

Complexity simplicity through abstraction | PlatformCon 2025

This session explores the evolution of network abstraction, highlighting how past approaches introduced unnecessary complexity and how new strategies can simplify operations while enhancing control and security.

“You want to get your data into an LLM, but you don’t want everyone else to see it.”

MCP is evolving fast — but its security model hasn’t kept up. Our own Lee Briggs shows how to build a realistic and secure model for AI data access using @tailscale.

Probably the most dangerous thing in politics is when a leader needs conflict - when he depends on conflict for his political power, maybe knows no other way to hold on to power. Driving up fears of others, launching deliberate provocations to incite violence, to then expand conflict, all for his own power, with not a thought about the death and destruction others face because of his lust for power.
