I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

All these years later, I just can’t get comfortable with a computer platform where you can write code for it, but the vendor gets to say whether or not people can run your code.
I thought that was wrong the day it was announced and still do.
The money says I’m in a minority. I’m comfortable with that.
The Web remains the only platform without a proprietor. Treasure it.
Gandi price increases are fucking wild this year. All below are per year including taxes...
A .uk is going from £9.46 to £11.99. And a .dev is going from £14.96 to £17.99.
And domains will no longer include any free mailboxes.
Meanwhile mailboxes are going from £4.44 per mailbox to £35.88 per mailbox.
I have 5 .co.uk domains, 3 .dev domains and 3 mailboxes. So total annual cost for me is going from £92.18 to £221.56, a 140% price increase.
If you had just one .co.uk domain and were using a single mailbox you'd see the annual cost go from £9.46 to £45.34, a 379% price increase.
I know inflation is high right now but what the utter fuck?
Looks like I need to find another domain registrar. Any recommendations?
Alright, the Earth has only one mechanism for releasing heat to space, and that’s via (infrared) radiation. We understand the phenomenon perfectly well, and can predict the surface temperature of the planet as a function of how much energy the human race produces. The upshot is that at a 2.3% growth rate (conveniently chosen to represent a 10× increase every century), we would reach boiling temperature in about 400 years. https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2012/04/economist-meets-physicist/
Could we try to fix the security issue that is MITM on TOFU in SSH by using Web PKI? https://paul.totterman.name/posts/ssh-pki-web-pki/
props to the @matrix team for making a software that doesn't break every time I update. It just works™ . I set it up once and never had any problem whatsoever
#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.
Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.
I wrote about molly-guard for ansible https://paul.totterman.name/posts/ansible-molly-guard/ . @jpmens what do you think?

We're officially proposing Matrix-over-MLS to the IETF for interoperable messaging transport & message formatting as part of the MIMI (More Instant Messaging Interoperability) working group. WIP drafts at https://turt2live.github.io/ietf-mimi-matrix-transport/draft-ralston-mimi-matrix-transport.html (MSC3918) + https://turt2live.github.io/ietf-mimi-matrix-message-format/draft-ralston-mimi-matrix-message-format.html (MSC3919)🦾🚀🎉
