I've noticed this – I'm a former software engineer, now a full-time priest. It's been fascinating to reflect on how the base of my analogies has shifted from software/tech to theol…

Intel Macs aren't PCs... Apple did a lot of the wider platform beyond the CPU themselves.

My ISP gives me v6 and lets me turn off their firewall. That's a start

I hope that the next big shift will be to undo the asymmetry that crept into the internet quickly after it first became popular. Let us host stuff at home. Let us run odd and stran…

Here's a quote from that book, 'The Road Ahead': > Corporations will redesign their nervous systems to rely on the networks that reach every member of the organization and beyond i…

I recently set up passkey-only sign ins for a webapp I'm writing using Authentik [0](Python OIDC provider, with quite a nice docker-compose run-up, took only minutes to stand up.) …

I'd like to be able to say, as a page / site, "disable all APIs that let this page communicate out to the net" and for that to be made known to the user. It'd be quite handy for ma…

cleric here, so excuse me for getting theological: but there should be (and at times truly has been, even if flawed) a shared understanding of the dignity and worth of every person…

thanks to you both, I'll check whenever and Pendulum out! :)
