I need to find something more interesting to do for work. The day job turned kinda shitty when PE took over.

Imagine being the captain of the first ship to pass through the Suez after it gets unblocked and knowing that you have the potential to do the funniest thing that anyone has ever done ever.
Their you have it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this Fosdem talk on "why are there 16 colors" by John Hall. Nice blast from the past.

My first contact ever with home made software was a friend whose cousin had made some bat files wrapping arj to pack and unpack things across several floppies. It was a finicky bat script that you had to apply in just the right order. If bat files count as programming♥

Then later on my mom learned to hack autoexec and basic stuff it was awesome♥♥

I like @protonmail a fair bit, but the mobile app experience isn't fantastic. I really want to just use native apps. Since I can't run bridge on my mobile device... Anybody have an experience misusing the Bridge software to allow connections from other devices (such as my phone)? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be comfortable exposing the Bridge IMAP and SMTP ports to the Internet directly, but perhaps through a VPN?
Figures. Finally sit down with some time to read and mandatory upgrade. There is an argument for owning your device in here somewhere.

This excellent post (cough... rant... cough...) is why I'm so excited about the Gemini project. It's a fresh state. It's got a well defined scope. It's fun. It's simple. It's privacy forward. Yay!

I am so intrigued by Plan9 (https://p9.io/plan9/) and the enthusiastic fans for it. It's like 40 years old. It's fugly. It's weird. But people LOVE it. I think I need to pull this into my life. I'm just not sure what I'd do with it... #plan9frombelllabs #plan9
