Tricking software into working since the 1980s.

I do all kinds of tech things. Here you'll find: rants, ops/devops, web, iOS, microcontrollers, electronics, food, beer, opinions, and whatever else is on my mind + in the conversation.

I've been sending some minor contributions to Mactrix, which is highlighted in TWIM: https://matrix.org/blog/2026/02/27/this-week-in-matrix-2026-02-27/#mactrix (Drafts was me; @nick@sloan.host also has some contributions in there.)

(Matrix is still far from perfect, but it's got some momentum right now, and it's feeling less and less like we'll always be the weirdos over there in that corner.) @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org

Look, I know it's a marketing company and stuff, but whoever is in charge of saying “no” at Mailchimp is clearly not okay.

(😂 who are we kidding? People who say "no" don't stay working at places like this.)

I think the hilarious part of that DT on speakerphone in the US Hockey Team dressing room after they won [legit beat us at] Gold video…

…is that they're all drinking Mexican beer… in Italy. Raising it up in toast to the flag. *slow clap*

Spent half the day writing mocks for NetworkExtension because the VPN system doesn't work *at all* on the iOS Simulator.

Seems like this should be Apple's job, not mine, tbh.

Think about how expensive Uber has become. Now look at this chart (sorry; borrowed it from Reddit; assuming it’s not completely wrong), and draw the simplest conclusion about how much this LLM stuff is going to cost when you’re not getting a handout to subsidize it.

Heck, if a straight line is too hard for you, just ask the LLM.

Nice day today at #FediMTL. Good talks and good people. Met some folks I only knew from the Internet. Hope I can go again next year.

I think « l’enshittification du web » is the first time I’ve heard that word pronounced en français. #FediMTL

I posted this yesterday, and it got a pretty good response, but I know many people (myself included) bankrupt their unread feeds after a busy weekend, so here it is again because I think it's fun—especially for the #Montreal crowd. @sean@scoat.es

I'm not a huge fan or anything, but I do have some amount of regret for missing the NiN show here in #Montreal last week.

Alas, The Internet provides.

Okay, I think this thing is ready-enough to tell people about it.

I made a #BBS to watch aircraft near #YUL (#Montreal airport), through my home #ADSB antenna setup. It's a #Swift NIO based app that runs on a #RaspberryPi (3) in my office network closet, so please play nicely.

SSH (or telnet): yulbbs.via.sc

Near #CYUL , it broadcasts on #Meshtastic (unencrypted channels: `yul-traffic` + `yul-alerts`), but also at: @yultraffic@scoat.es and @yulalerts@scoat.es .

(*BBS: æsthetic-wise, at least; no messaging)

Huge respect to @TechConnectify@mas.to for taking the necessary risk with his 3 million followers by telling it like it is with the political landscape in the US, at the end of his latest video. (linked video at the start of the "Who the liars are and what we need to do about them" section, but the whole video is worth watching for other reasons) https://youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?t=4605
