    Thanks. I appreciate you making the effort. This was kind of the response I expected. Not sure what happened in the other thread.

    Ittenbari in Akasaka was an absolute revelation as to what ramen can be. Tabutchan in Osaka was the confirmation that it is the most delightful form of food invented by mankind.

    Je peux aussi te répondre en Français, mais je ne vois pas du tout le rapport avec la discussion. Have you actually seen the image I'm talking about? This is the one: https://firem…

    The AI-generated thumbnail that is embedded is social media posts is in particular poor taste. It appears to show most of France in a blaze of death. All the while showing Portugal…

    Going from EPUB to KEPUB requires conversion (I believe KEPUB has XHTML directly embedded into it, right?). It's Kobo's proprietary format to "support" fast scrolling with preview,…

    This is why I’m a bit conflicted about DoH and ODoH. Firefox and Chrome have defaulted to DoH for years if I’m not mistaken (although I’m in Europe so I believe my FF still uses re…

    I think the universe is trying to tell you that whatever you wrote at that exact moment was fire. Or maybe the exact opposite, and the universe had to stop you instantly. That’s th…

    I don’t think we used to be this way. I think the binary aspect of modern discourse was designed. A lot of arguments are reduced to us v them. It is as if holding two simultaneous …

    3 90-day ACME certs for free. 180€/year for unlimited 90-day certs and 5 yearly ones. That’s a pretty steep increase. I would almost be more interested in a monthly fee per cert.

    HID was originally American and Scottish, but became fully American in 1994. HID was acquired by Assa Abloy in 2000. No idea whether that means we now consider it Swedish. ZeroSSL …

    What a brilliant piece of writing. I remember almost every single step—safe for actually getting angry emails. Maybe I ended up being the one writing them. What a glorious time per…

    OK, fair, I never left my keepass file exposed like that when I used keepass. If I remember correctly, 1Password still requires a "vault key" in addition to your username and passw…

    I travel a lot. By train, plane, and car. I also use passkeys when possible. I have multiple Yubikeys, stored in different locations. I also have a password manager, where I typica…

    I didn’t look at the account or provenance, but I’m more wondering about the actual content. “I was in Europe” -> where? Why would the car be configured in English? I’ve rented car…

    I’m not quite at the point where I want to quit, but some people have turned off their brain, and it frustrates me. They don’t think critically, let the LLM add random stuff, and t…

    My team at work uses Mise for nearly all repos, regardless of stack (Python backends, React frontings, data science repos). I typically prefer to use Make for this kind of stuff, b…

    I hate Oracle as much as the next guy, but this seems like a nothingburger. Oracle didn’t file “thousands of H1Bs”. Oracle filed 2690 applications in FY2025 (Oct-Sep), and so far f…

    Apologies if this wasn’t clear, I thought it was obvious: you have something sitting on your face, isolating you physically, visually, physically, and emotionally. When I’m playing…

    The biggest impediment for VR is the fundamentally asocial nature of it. If there are fewer headsets in a room than there are people, it’s going to be awkward for at least one pers…
