I don’t always test in production…

…but when I do, it’s because it worked on my machine.

Pile onto this development. Linux!

Lenovo is in the process of bringing a linux phone to market. Excitement high, opportunities vast. Lenovo will sell you its Windows laptops, with linux instead, a little cheaper.

Cool.cool.cool.

Lonovo's phone brand is Motorola.
(I think Lenovo should sell a Lenovo branded Linux Phone too)

TWO. Europe is getting the hell off techbro software. Linux makes this phone a must in EUROPE.

I've been watching the recent #OpenSSL vulnerabilities with Eagle eyes, first announced here:

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/7aJwgbMEiKq5egQbd/ai-found-12-of-12-openssl-zero-days-while-curl-cancelled-its

The OpenSSL fixes were out Jan 27th (as packaged up by #Debian); it's just that Debian failed to mention it on their web page as of yet:

https://www.debian.org/security/

But they did get mentioned here:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2026/msg00022.html

"For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.0.18-1~deb12u2.
For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.5.4-1~deb13u2."

As of yet, these announcements never got into the Debian Security Announcement RSS feed either ( https://www.debian.org/security/dsa ). I have the unpopular view that email mailing lists are not really a good idea (as a means to disseminate information broadly, in a one-way-street sort of way), and should actually be #RSS feeds.

AI found 12 of 12 OpenSSL zero-days (while curl cancelled its bug bounty) — LessWrong

This is a partial follow-up to AISLE discovered three new OpenSSL vulnerabilities from October 2025. …

"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven’t lived in blood and bone. That doesn’t mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it’s not freedom you’re after.”

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you that I’ve been regularly updating for months.

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Handwritten notes by Galileo discovered. No word when they will get banned in Alabama (The last sentence is pure snark. There are plenty of smart people in Alabama.)
