Jumping around a bit,

I've advocated in the past for primary education to have server labs, setup for kids to play on, admin and host.

Was a delight to see this recent write-up, in that cloth.

I wouldn't say "glad" but ali appreciate that we have this not-even early indicator.

The kayfabe of app stores really showing its colors: insecure for democratic society, a giant civilizational hazard that is utterly inexcusable, 100% to be routed around.

I feel like I want F3's wasm smashed together w OpenZL's composability.

Both are making data encoding more modular! It feels like F3 has much more programmability, but lacks the skeleton/structure/composability OpenZL brings. How would you characterize/contrast?

The title here really is the thing.

To be fair to component model, the underway 0.3 is a huge huge lift. Building a radical new async runtime. Incredible feat.

Hopefully the road to 1.0 thereafter isn't bad. Expect end of 2026 to mid 2027. What an incredible future it promises.

That will become more autonomic—able to handle trouble cases that previously would have required expert knowledge.

We are driving the labor & barriers cost down. This looks like winning to me, this is the change I want to see in the world.

This is hugely hopeful to me, that the abundant computing in the world will be something that some day everyday people don't need to be so afraid of,

That operationalization will advance & be better able to communicate itself,

I want to emphasize that the barriers will get lower and lower. We'll get better at this. To broader and broader audiences.

There's a very significant chance I have no net impact ever in the world with my specific efforts!

But someone has to do it. And I know if few people better suited, with more interest in being a broad master of my site.

If not me, who? is a dubious attachment but there it is.

I self host because it's an incredibly important virtue, for a capability we as a civilization will over time only get better and better and better at and need only more and more.

I worry that this specific icon outlives the horror of that worst era. The sign/symbol outstripping the meaning.

I think of it so much, & it's a pretty good icon for the folder containing the times. But also such horror.

RISC-V is still in the far distance for serious things. I'm rooting for them to make it prior to my death, however.

Yeah, valid way to get cli atproto apps working!

I expect the tunnel probably changes names, is ephemeral. Maybe not 100% ideal DPOP'ing for each execution.

This sentence for whatever reason bringing a smile; the looking for loot amid the natural laws:

I've taken some flak for saying "very quiet" in the past. Those critics were right. For an enterprise drive it sure is quiet, at least!

I keep entertaining some outlandish hope maybe maybe maybe idle and low CPU usage will be more power thrifty than many of the monsters we feed. Outlandish hope.

JFC, I forgot about this whole angle. Good christ almighty, the terrormongers are impressive at manufacturing their terrors.
