AI is often seen as a catch-all for automation, but like the move to the cloud, hidden costs arise when outsourcing more work.

Out with the apps, in with the fundamentals.
My daughter's new machine is an OpenBSD ThinkPad. She's learning the shell, not the swipe.
When she's an adult, she won't need tech support. She'll just fix her own damn printer.

When I started on Mastodon in 2018, I was less concerned about the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and followed many accounts and hashtags. An exciting shift, for me, is that I find myself muting and unfollowing in 2025. There is enough chatter on Mastodon to make curating my timeline necessary for […]

I really enjoy the simplicity of Miniflux, but I find myself using a third interface for access versus the built-in. I need triple pane and @freshrss has it out of the box. I am going to kick the tyres on my OpenBSD VPS and see how it works

Upgrades on OpenBSD are so easy. Just bumped the server to "-current" since I live on the edge. PostgreSQL 17 -> 18 zero issues after following the README.

Matrix feels like the future, but wow… it’s still a bit of a mess. Synapse is the only Matrix server I’ve found that runs reliably on OpenBSD, but the bridges are painful to set up and even worse to maintain.

I got all excited that Ford was going to add home assistance support before realising I named my API account for access to my truck homeassistant. I wish more companies would take an API first approach for things like this

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]
