Since Purism, I have written and published two books, attended OpenSSF Day, FOSSY, and DEF CON, traveled 9000 miles coast-to-coast in an RV, and completely reorganized my garage.

Now I'm bored.

There's just no substitute for pouring my energy and skills into a day job and collaborating with others. I'm eager to dive back in. I've worn many hats and open to many types of roles and industries. If you know of a role you think I'd be a good fit for, DM me or email at next@kylerank.in .

When you’re used to just watching TikToks.

@julianfairfax @schmiddionmobile Not a joke, but it definitely wasn't meant as an insult either. I'm sure you're making great apps but it's a fact that libadwaita apps look out of place on anything but GNOME. That's fine for a GNOME app but stuff like Lutris or Bottles, which should really be desktop independent, also use it and thus look completely different from anything else on my desktop. It's just a shame to also see that happening in the mobile space, that's all.

Just learned this morning that Bram Moolenaar, creator and maintainer of Vim, passed away recently at 62. I’ve been a user of Vim since my 20s, so even though I’ve never met Bram his work has been an important part of my life.

The fantastic dead leaf mimicry of the Uropyia meticulodina moth lets it hide in plain sight.

For todays #ThrowbackThursday, here’s #MarioKart DS, the first game in the series with online play.

Great game with some amazing tracks (Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Delfino Square, Luigi’s Mansion), and probably the best single player content in the series too.
