• Politics and World Events

  • Murdoch changes the tune

    I'm writing amidst the background hum of nationalist cheering, jeering and booing from the TV in the room, as the England football team face Slovakia in the 2024 UEFA European football championship. For clarity: I'm not much a fan of football, and it goes without saying I'm certainly not a nationalist(!), though I do sometimes like to 'tune in' to major international sporting events as entertainment, and as a kind-of weather gauge of the major attention-grabbing stuff flowing through everyday life during these heightened moments.

• Technology and Free Software

  • My ideal operating system

    An underwater-basketweaving forum I’m on sometimes talks about technology topics. One question someone asked was “What’s your ideal operating system?”.

    I’ve been chewing on that for a few days.

  • Programming

    • Certificate and domain change

      While gemini.jorl.fi moved to cron4.fi, it's certificate changed too. This can be verified from the linked message.

    • stdu `--forward`

      stdu now has the option `--forward` for writing data read to STDOUT and the amount of the data read to STDERR instead, making it more usable where there would be problems with (for example) `tee` writing data to `stdu` faster than to another destination.
