Announcing RADDLE, my new word transformation game.

It’s a twist on conventional word ladders — instead of changing one letter at each step, you’re changing the entire word based on a clue. But it’s up to you to determine which clue to use.

If you play Wordle, Connections, etc., check out Raddle. I think it's fun and challenging. Sandy's very clever.

I love using jj instead of (or really on top of) git these days, but I struggled with the built-in diff editor, which seems to be pretty under-documented. So I made a quick cheatsheet reference of the commands, hopefully it is useful to others similarly stuck: paulsmith.github.io/jj-builtin-d...

We've been told that Tailscale takes the most puzzling parts out of networking configuration. In case that leaves you with a puzzle deficit, we've written a new crossword puzzle to mark National Crossword Puzzle Day. Can you solve it? A little bit of networking knowledge may come in handy!

Added a couple of lines to my home-manager config, and now I get instant loading of dev environments when I cd into them with direnv. (I was missing the nix-direnv integration, which caches the evaluation and the resulting environment.)

Cleaned up my giant old MP3/FLAC collection (passed it through MusicBrainz Picard app), found a place for it on my home network, and served it up with Navidrome. Wired up to ListenBrainz - feels like the good ol' scrobble/last.fm days.

I feel so nervous when I see folks in the gym bench pressing with no spotter and they have collars on. How you gonna dump the weight if you in trouble?? It’s the only movement I have a healthy belief that it wants to kill me.

DAMASCUS:
From the heart of Damascus, in Ummayyad Square, those celebrating this monumental event and those fleeing the city now breathe the same air, as opposition forces move to fully take over.
Assad reportedly left the country hours ago.

Doing a cycle of increased volume/reduced weight. Still progressive overloading, but modulating reps, rest time, sets, as well as weight. Never done 10 reps at RPE 9-10 before. 245# for 2 sets. #weightlifting #strengthtraining
