I like to work with my hands. That may mean hammering out solutions to complex problems in #Python or #Rust, building things in my shop, or spinning yarn to knit something warm. You’ll likely see some of all of that here. By day (and sometimes night) I keep >13k nodes and services alive in the Electric Vehicle sector.

New keycaps for my Drop ALT. When I saw the nod to the space race I knew I had to buy them.

Ownership isn't about possession, it's about control. When hackers "own" a computer, they don't physically have it, instead they compromised it so thoroughly that they have full remote control. If you physically have a computer, but someone else has control, they own it.

This is one reason why the shift from a trackpoint mouse to a touchpad wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be, even though I used to be as die-hard about it as other Thinkpad users. I just don't use the mouse that much in either case.

I imagine folks that do everything from a web browser won't understand, but I can't stress how important keyboard-friendly UI is for speed. It's even more important with typing-heavy apps like chat. Every time my hand moves to a mouse it slows everything way down.
Time to board my flight back to the US. Had a wonderful time in The Netherlands, even with the unfortunate circumstances of the pandemic showing up shortly after I arrived.
Last night in Delft. House is clean. Bags are packed. There are certainly worse places to find yourself during a pandemic. I’ll surely return.
Done with my last week of work in NL. Next week I pack it all up and move back to Texas.

Pick a random consumer device lying around your house and imagine someone coming across it after 70 years of neglect. Part of the device no longer works. Would they be able to fix it? https://puri.sm/posts/beyond-right-to-repair/
And back in .nl
Getting close to boarding time for my flight back to .nl so I can pack up and move back to .us
If you were wondering how to get the Bluetooth to work on your Librem 14 it's pretty simple - just install the non-free firmware-atheros from Debian Bullseye. If you're not sure how to do that:

How do you fund free software sustainably? In this post I talk about some of the main approaches, the problems with some funding models, and specifically how (and why) Purism takes the approach we do. https://puri.sm/posts/how-purism-funds-free-software/
With Spaces in both Synapse and Element now, I've created one for my various #libre projects to hold rooms for support in each one.
https://ajmartinez.com/tech/posts/202141-001-spaces
To that end, I've also started posting in each of these rooms when I update my various projects and am likely to discontinue doing so here.

The root cause of this failwhale is truly impressive. I deal with a lot of surprises on a regular basis, but social security numbers in html attributes may take the cake since I’m going to go ahead and guess those are the plaintext sort keys in the backend.
