How do you summarize how unsafe orbit is? This is where I get to tell you about my new favourite forced astronomy acronym, which I spent quite a while thinking about.
We needed a metric. I originally wanted to do something like "Kessler Countdown" or "Kessler Clock" but this isn't a countdown […]

Lol. This is exactly how we've ended up with two conservative parties and how we'll end up with a Conservative government soon. Partisan politics melts partisan brains.

I hate the "cattle vs. pets" framing of managing larger clusters of computers with automation, implying that managing small clusters or single machines is done manually.
I hate it because managing a single machine without a framework suitable for automation has been generally poor practice […]

What makes you an "experienced" knitter is you figured out how to fix them rather than setting your entire yarn stash and half your clothes on fire and running away screaming and just buying your socks at walmart.

I have now served a stint as a grant adjudicator. It was stressful & a bit of a bloodbath. Not sure I want to ever do that again, but it was certainly educational. There's nowhere near enough money to go to all the deserving artists. Tax the rich and bring about UBI already.

Why I (still) love Linux
I usually publish articles about how much I love the BSDs or illumos distributions, but today I want to talk about Linux (or, better, GNU/Linux) and why, despite everything, it still holds a place in my heart.
