“There’s even support for the ZFS filesystem (though it’s “EXPERIMENTAL”).”
I’ve been thinking about switching up my Linux distro for a few weeks, so I might try this. Manjaro’s been good to me, but my setup is starting to feel a little too hacked together and rickety for my liking…

“EU officials have warned that they may not take kindly to a US encryption ban or insertion of crypto backdoor technology.”

“When the 8th edition launched, there was a lot of focus on the simpler rules, and the indexes put everyone on a level playing field. Since then, however, the game has become much more complex, with the special rules introduced with new rules found in codexes, FAQs, Chapter Approved, and White Dwar…”
“Firefox is getting ready to turn on its automatic anti-snooping tools to stop web ‘fingerprinting” tricks.”
“When she was younger, my wife used to work with autistic children at a nearby specialist school so she had plenty of experience identifying symptoms and helping those experiencing them. This is why she is confident that I am at least somewhere on the spectrum.
Move forward a few years, when our daug…”

For the last 27 days I’ve been taking part in the Movember “Mo-ve Challenge” (it’s not all about growing facial hair!), in aid of promoting better conversations around men’s health. In particular, my motivation revolves around mental health and suicide prevention, which are topics close to my heart:
Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence. Movember is aiming to reduce the rate of male suicide by 25% by 2030, and I want to help them get there. Help me stop men dying too young.
There’s still a few days left in the month, but so far I’ve walked over 220km. I’d originally set a goal of 120km, but I’m aiming for 240km by the end of the week (the official challenge is for 60km). For that, I’ve raised £120 at the time of writing.
And that’s where you come in, Dear Reader. I’d very much like to meet my fundraising goal of £200 by the end of the month, or exceed it if I can. If you are able to, please consider donating even a small amount on my MoSpace page: https://uk.movember.com/mospace/14053989. Every little bit would help, and I’d appreciate it more than you’d know.
“I just need to put two boxes side-by-side and I hear flexbox is good at stuff like that.”
“Explore the hidden risks of “sharenting” on this episode of the Reset podcast.”
Nowadays I make a conscious effort to obscure the faces of my kids if I’m taking a picture for social media. I wasn’t always so careful, but the the youngest two have grown enough since I instituted this policy (a few years, starting at an early age) to protect them at least a bit from facial recognition.
Similarly I never use their real names unless it’s a message/post with a controlled audience.
If this works, I’ve just created a micropub photo blogging iOS shortcut 🎉
“For more than a decade, Britons have relied on Mysociety’s Theyworkforyou to find out who represents them in Parliament (as well as the regional assemblies), find out what those people are do…”
“The Markdown-based note-taking app that doesn’t suck.”
“Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular web browsers around, and for good
reason. It’s fast, secure, open-source, and it’s backed by an organization that
actually respects your privacy. Unlike many other Chrome alternatives and forks,
it has a massive development team behind it that publishes new updates on a
constant, regular basis. Regular updates doesn’t only mean shiny new features,
it means you’ll also receive security updates that will keep you protected as
you browse the web.”
“Monday night’s protest will see workers demand longer break times and a free commute at a Staten Island fulfillment center with a record of injuries three times the national average.”
“I’ve recently been going down a rabbit hole of making improvements to my CanIUse embed. To give a bit of a background, it is an interactive embed I created to easily embed data from caniuse.com in my blog posts and anywhere else. I previously wrote about how I first”
“Every vote counts in one way or another, even if you live in a safe seat – here’s why.”
“A few months ago, I got a wild hair up my butt and was seriously considering building a set of armies for a war game based on the Thirty Years War. I knew I wanted big blocks of pikes, at least 18 units per side, and I wanted to do the whole thing in 28mm. After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion:
I WAS BONKERS.”
“So will you all please move to IPv6? World: Nope.”
I went to bed early last night because I was tired. The only problem is that I woke up at 4am instead of 6am, nullifying any benefits. It’s now just after 6:30am, and I’m kinda just twiddling my thumbs doing random things, waiting for it to be late enough I can leave for work without arriving so early the building isn’t open…
