Did a blogpost yesterday, a quick and hacky rundown of running backups based on the current energy mix:

Always figured, GPG, PKI and webs of trust knowledge would be useful for evading government spies, not for trying to work out if my son is sending the replies from my wife's phone.

v1.1 "waxing jam" edition of 'The Place Where the Moon Once Was' for #playdate

Small tweaks and bugfix, just for those who want to experience the story with a slightly easier difficulty.

@benedwards Great stuff - I just don't remember it all being so white before, but couldn't tell you what colour it should be if not...

@orbific I kind of like how real names seem less important when it comes to these things. I guess "The Queens Road Bookshop" had a proper name, once? The guy that ran Raining Books will probably always be "The Guy That Ran Raining Books".

Like Friends episodes' titles, the texture of the memories takes over from any sense of title.

Being on LinkedIn for a while is faintly amusing. The decent connections on there are balanced by some very backwards automated text.

"You have one of the most-viewed profiles..."

"As Freelance Techology Person at Freelance..."

Seeing a lot of white, almost "bleached" growth around at the moment like this. Is this normal and I just haven't noticed it before?

Even the ducks are idiots this year.

"The rumours that this is a botnet mostly made up of compromised Android SetTop Boxes that’s been leased out to an AI crawler that’s trying to avoid being blocked ... "

We're living the dystopian cyberpunk dream. Unsolicited AI is definitely the new spam.

Seems like a good day to wear my only #Nintendo-themed shirt. How far handheld gaming has come, huh? There will always be a special place for the GBA though.
