Finally a starry night here on Waiheke. I took a few photographs, using a Pixel 6 and a tissue box as a makeshift tripod.

Years ago, IMDB rejected this "publicity photo" I uploaded to my page, so clearly they are allergic to fucking awesomeness.

Really loving @matt_levine's newsletter and how well (and entertainingly) it boils down complex economic stuff, but especially crypto:

You know how good it feels to coast on a bicycle after you crest a big hill? They should include that with more things.

Loooook! Mom, loooook!

Might make a couple final tweaks, but I'm pretty happy with this.

I wrote a blog post giving an introduction to the PNG file format, aimed at anyone who wants to generate or parse their own PNGs (or who just wants to know how it works!)

Moved a 2FA key from Authy to Keychain.

• associated with the credentials, making it easier to manage (some may consider this a security flaw):
✅ Keychain ❌ Authy ❌ Google Authenticator

• when logging in, it’s suggested automatically
✅ Keychain ❌ Authy ❌ Google Authenticator

• syncs across devices
✅ Keychain ✅ Authy ❌ Google Authenticator

• ruins your day when getting a new iPhone

So I like to cook, and I like rummaging in corporate mail spools…

Interesting quirk of the PID namespace in the Linux kernel from this workshop.

Creating a bash shell in a new PID namespace doesn't actually move the process to the new namespace unlike other namespaces, only its future child processes. So when I echo the PID, it's not 1. However, when I call /bin/echo, it is given PID 1 in the child namespace, and then when it exits, the namespace becomes invalid.

"Can you explain this 5 year gap?"

"Yes, people kept asking about the 1 year gap instead of letting me work. This continued for some time."

I spent WAAAAAY too much time making this.
