The five stages of writing a blog post (or doing anything): 1. Denial: this will be easy 2. Anger: why isn’t this working? 3. Bargaining: maybe I can find a simpler approach? 4. Depression: I’ll never get it done 5. Acceptance: time to block off 4 hours and get to work

Did Cloudflare just take down the whole internet? Anyone else experiencing it?

A lot of people think spirituality means “beating myself up until I'm perfect.” But that's not true. Self-torture is the enemy of growth. Self-kindness is the beginning of repair.

Bitcoin’s core story is different from most cryptocurrencies. It has no centrally issuing authority. A few others have tried to do that, and one of them (zcash) just had a major surge, but ultimately Bitcoin beats all of them with the balance between transparency, new coin issuance policy, and first mover advantage.

Remember, every time you’re sitting in a compliance meeting at work, government busybodies just stole a piece of your life.

After experimenting with about 4 different desktop environments, 5 different distros, and a half dozen different combos of Snap/Flatpak/native install of apps... I'm back on Fedora+Gnome and avoiding Snap and Flatpak wherever possible. I'm surprised at all the weird bugs that popped up from Flatpak+Gnome+Wayland given that it's essentially the Fedora default way to do things.
