    "Can we kiss?"

    "Hum, okay, but just a kiss"

    Our lips came together, quickly, tasting each other. I didn't know how long the kiss would last. I was surprised by her answer. I was surprised by her excitement. I could feel the pleasure in her movement. I felt detach at first, analyzing, tasting, being aware of my senses, the smell, the moment. Her pleasure became my pleasure.

• Technology and Free Software

  • How fast can we go?

    My gut kept telling me that the expected AI productivity gains claimed by the tech industry didn't make a ton of sense, so I figured I'd just model it out. The results were both a little surprising and exactly what I expected.

    [...]

    Now, before we get into it deeply, I'm gonna be very up front, here: throughout this piece I'll be using some really crappy metrics, like PR throughput, lines-of-code produced, and lines-of-code reviewed per hour. The literature on these metrics is clear: they're flawed. LoC shares, at best, a (very) loose correlation with code complexity. PR throughput as a metric for developer productivity is worse yet than that.

    But, the reality is these are the kinds of numbers that tend to appear when these topics are discussed, so they're what I'll be focusing on.

    You have been warned.

  • Shavian writing in the wild (my soft fantasy)

    I don't follow my soft fantasy, but I clicked on it today when it showed up on cosmos. The word "soft" in the title of today's comic is written in the shavian script, a phonetic writing system for english. it looks like each comic has the word "soft" written in a different stylized way.

  • Wireguard on NixOS

    The Guix system host is #twothrity in the above. The allowed IPs from that host are a /32 because it’s only that one IP address that is allowed and will be routed to from the VPS. That system isn’t allowed to use any other address.

    I also have an entry above for my media server, which is another NixOS system. Now when my Guix system is connected from somewhere else, I can get to my media server where Jellyfin is running.

  • Wireguard on Guix

    On my Guix system I didn’t bother with manually creating the public and private keys, Guix did it for me.

    So all I had to do was add configuration, fetch my public key, and allow it to connect to my VPS.
