This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
Logged on after a purposeful day of not watching the news, logging off now after seeing the trash fire it was always gonna be.
For the next 4 years, I'm going to try to focus on helping my local community and orgs. It's the best thing I can think to do in the face of... all of this.

The annoying nerds who said you should install Linux, use decentralised social media, use Signal secure messenger were right.
Control of our own computing is a prerequisite for freedom.
The internet *is* real life.
A PR of mine was accepted into go-wasm-http-server (https://github.com/nlepage/go-wasm-http-server) that makes it #TinyGo compatible! Now your Go webservers can be built into tiny WASM blobs and run in ServiceWorkers ๐ฅณ

I spent the 2017 US Presidential inauguration working in a small open plan office, where someone put it on the TV to then loudly talk about it. Iโm very glad I work from home now, and can avoid it today.
When people like this talk about WFH damaging productivity, theyโve clearly not worked in an open office for a while https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/20/working-from-home-not-doing-proper-work-stuart-rose
The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They canโt be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons.
Not doing so is a national security risk.
Am I doing this right?
I would say that the US is moving into "the law doesn't matter, only the President's whim matters" territory faster than I expected, but this is about on schedule.

Human nature being what it is, it seems extremely likely that sometime today we will see millions of U.S.-based TikTok users installing some shady or "free" VPN software just to get around the ban.
So even though we banned TikTok, ostensibly for security reasons, we end up creating an even bigger security problem when millions of people install some app that can read and modify all traffic.
โThank God for guns, so that we can protect our rights to free speech when the governement comes to take away our TikToks. Oh waitโ

Every few months or so, somebody asks on social media why a particular DVLA digital service is turned off over night. Rather than answering it every time, Iโve decided to write this post, so I can point people at it in future. Itโs a great case study to show why making government services digitally native can be quite complicated.

Was reminded of this image again today:
"I don't wear ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."
Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap).

I would like for all of this to end in the repeal of the TikTok ban, but it's almost certainly going to end with Trump negotiating the sale of US TikTok as a gift to one of his cronies, which is why Elon and Zuck are elbowing each other so hard right now.
I mean, Jack Dorsey speaking about "Infusing Open Source Culture into Company DNA" when not a single soul has ever heard of him in relation to Open Source before this talk title would have worked as a joke to me.

Spoilers are the worst. Iโve been binging The Traitors (UK) and saw a spoiler for the outcome of series 2, 3 episodes from the end. Completely takes the tension out of it.
