“Right, people are buying too much stuff and feeling anxious about it. How do we monetize their desire to buy less stuff? I know, we sell them different stuff! #minimalism stuff! Expensive stuff that looks like less stuff!”
A discussion that started with GNU/Linux vs Linux
expanded into sudo vs doas, X11 vs Wayland, and how
system design choices age over time.
I already had notes on dwm, st, and X11 usage, and
this thread was the motivation to turn them into a
short, standalone document about the trade-offs
around scope, ecosystem complexity, and sustainability.

Loved making this. I used to love drawing rockets as a kid.
In the end you realize that true fun is rediscovering what you used to do as a kid before society started interfering with that.

The weirdest part of self-hosting isn't the control, it's the silence.
I logged into my dashboard tonight via the tunnel. No banner ads. No
"suggested content" algorithms designed to doomscroll me. No tracking pixels firing off to a data broker in Utah, lol.
Just my tools, sitting there, waiting.
We really forgot what the internet feels like when it isn't trying to extract value from us every single second. It’s quiet here. I like it.

What Is the Minimum Markup Needed to Create a Modal?, by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky):
Probably one of my favourite shots from the trip. I like high contrast in black and white photos. And geometry. And curves if possible.

👀 Wow, stop the presses! Another riveting #love letter to #XFCE, the desktop environment so thrillingly minimalist it makes white paint look like a rave. 🎉 Ruben shares his undying affection for the world's most exciting software waiting room 💻—a tale of pulse-pounding neutrality!
