When people call for “censorship resistance” in social networks, I’m not sure they realise how unpleasant a social network without filtering and takedowns would be

I would rather die than create an account to continue

Yes, yes! Also going to bed under a warm blanket is one of the best feelings in the world, while sticking to sweat saturated bedsheets is one of the worst.

Winter has seasonal depression, and spring has allergies. I guess that makes autumn the best season for me?

Microsoft can't protect French data from US government access Company admits under oath that American authorities can demand European citizen information despite security promises.

“When asked directly whether he could guarantee under oath that French citizen data would never be transmitted to US authorities without explicit French authorization, [Microsoft France's director of public and legal affairs Anton] Carniaux responded: ‘No, I cannot guarantee it.’”

I understand the frustration, the parcel tracking system ended up rate-limiting me 😄

I’ve been happy with Scaleway in Europe, and I’m hearing that Hetzner is even cheaper (though they seem to have provisioning issues these days)

A close up picture of the JetKVM device. It looks like an Apple Watch screen slapped onto a tiny desk device. It’s sleek and polished. In the background a box reads “Next generation open source IP KVM”

I just received my @jetkvm.bsky.social!

I’m 6 years old and it is Christmas!

Kubernetes is not just for Black Friday I self-host services mostly for myself. My threat model is particular: the highest threats I face are my own incompetence and hardware failures. To mitigate those risks used to rely on podman containe...

I used to think Kubernetes was complex machinery solving scalability problems I would never have. I was wrong.

Kubernetes has less moving parts than my handmade deployments and is sturdier than my hand written playbooks.

Astro Pride Embroidered Hoodie Layer up in this cozy, casual, black hoodie featuring a bold embroidered Astro logo in rainbow colors.

I love them! I would have gotten the Astro Pride embroidered hoodie… if it was a sweater instead 😄

Look how gorgeous it is 🤩

A picture of me, a while man in his 30s, wearing a black cap and a black t-shirt with the Astro logo. I'm also wearing glasses. I'm smiling and my fingers points at my face. In the background there is a MacBook Pro and a stand and a large monitor with a code editor open.

Guess who got their @astro.build order in the mail today?

Top notch quality, this guy is happy!

Why is my Raspberry Pi 4 too slow as a server? I self-host services on a beefy server in a datacenter. Every night, Kopia performs a backup of my volumes and sends the result to a s3 bucket in Scaleway's Parisian datacenter. The VPS is expensive, ...

I wanted to move my services from a costly VPS to a Raspberry Pi in my living room.

But when moving the first 2.8 GB the Raspberry Pi announced a migration time in hundreds of days!

Follow me as I investigate why and if I can do anything about it.

Deep Work reconciled me with personal growth books I'm usually not a huge fan of personal growth books. I think most books of this genre are 300 pages long when all the content would fit on 20. I read _Deep Work_ by Cal Newport, with an open but…

I didn't think I would ever find a useful personal growth book, but Deep Work was different. I expected a grind mindset book, and I've found one that makes a case for undistracted work, backed by science.

A helpful tool in my quest to reclaim focus!

Massive achievement here, thanks for all the hard work!

You’re the indisputable best! Bravo 👏

Canada as part of Schengen when?

Mes collègues anglophones disent que "la marée montante soulève tous les bateaux".

Parce que l'information sauve et unit face à la propagande, parce que @blast-info.fr produit des émissions accessibles et publiques, et parce qu'on ne s'en sortira qu'ensemble, j'ai augmenté ma cotisation mensuelle.

We annoyingly shouted down NFT people and NFTs died. We annoyingly shouted down ai people and their stranglehold is beginning to crumble.

I’m not going to ignore the crooks and the creeps to benefit your sense of “peace.”

Europeans tend to be cocky with their healthcare, but your situation is still shocking to me, even after years of working with American people.

Get better soon!

Glaçant. Merci pour la prise de conscience. C’est un super travail d’éducation que vous faites, plus nécessaire que jamais.

Je vais augmenter ma cotisation à @blast-info.fr

A day walking in Paris. Brass bands, children on swings, and chess players.

I love public parks.
