Proving, yet again, that even people towing costly travel trailers will just go for it, ignoring the 11'8+8' bridge ended someone's trip unpleasantly. The description says that on July 30th, this fifth wheel ended up smacking the bridge. This likely totaled the trailer,...
It’s not every day you stumble upon an X11 desktop environment you’ve never hard of, but today’s one of those days. The Orbitiny Desktop Environment is a one-person project, consisting of an entirely custom desktop environment written in Qt. Version 1.0 Pilot 4 was just...
Solène Rapenne, who writes a lot about and contributes to operating systems like OpenBSD and Qubes OS, has published a primer about what, exactly, Qubes OS is. I like to call Qubes OS a meta operating system, because it is not a Linux / BSD / Windows based OS: its core is...

Security isn’t exactly a strong point of X11, and improving it is one of the main reasons why Wayland is such a vast improvement over X11. Just one of the many examples of X11 being inherently insecure is that keyloggers are entirely trivial on X11, because keylogger...
Sure, a big part of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom's appeal is the sense of quiet loneliness. You're tossed into this ravaged world overtaken by nature that's only just started to rebuild, making you feel isolated against a sprawling natural backdrop. — Read the...
I hate the ongoing, AI-powered enshittification of the Internet so much. Privacy is on the way out, and freedom of expression isn't too far behind it. Any kind of tech support is basically useless, and there's a 50/50 chance that any given person you reach out to online is...
Every year, hundreds of rhinos in South Africa are killed for their horns. Fake horns, embedded cameras, and aggressive enforcement have all been used in an effort to combat poaching. Conservationists now have a new tool in the anti-poaching toolkit — radiation. — Read the...
In my quest to document every gimmick account on the Internet, I've rarely come across something as patently bizarre as JAV Titles. With Elon Musk's grand Twitter experiment collapsing into a neo-Nazi-filled hellhole, we've entered something of a Wild West of posting as...

Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate. Claude Code has decoupled myself from writing ...
Private therapy sessions, drug confessions, and intimate relationship details from ChatGPT users appeared in Google search results due to a controversial sharing feature that OpenAI has now removed. Ars Technica reports that users who thought they were simply saving their...
