Anyone in the Bay Area want to buy a silent electric cello with an amp, bow, cello stand, and a sheet music stand? Lemme know. special deals for children, people w/ disabilities, and existing cellists with financial challenges.

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.

• when logging in, it’s suggested automatically

• syncs across devices

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.
