Swedish open source developer; creator and lead maintainer of curl and libcurl, and a co-founder of the Rockbox project.
The Russian drone that crashed in Lithuania the other day had curl installed. As part of a default Linux install presumably, it seems unlikely it used curl for any "drony" things. Linux Russia Related

Installed macOS 27 on a MacBook and I'm not sure if this is some kind of twisted joke or just incompetence. The contrast of window controls (for both active and inactive windows) is so bad that even a sugar-jolted 25-year old can tell. Related

solar energy
Their words
Nuclear energy is the safest form of energy empirically. If you look at the amount of power generated versus the amount amount of deaths, um it's even safer than solar, which is very strange because how does someone die from solar? that actually most solar is installed on roofs and people sometimes die falling off of a roof installing solar and if you add those deaths up it is actually a higher death per energy than the totality of nuclear energy in the world.

Unexpected Codex use case: set up an Android handheld for me. @johnvoorhees got me into this: enable USB debugging and just let the agent rip. Codex installed Cocoon frontend on my AYN Thor, transferred all my ROMs, and is currently configuring emulators, mods, and other apps. It's just working in the background and cross-referencing YouTube/Reddit sources to set everything up, so I can focus on cooking for the family instead. Incredible. @dimillian Related

I just re-installed SuperDuper! (https://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) after I somehow managed to break it. Been registered to me for 14 years, the main window informs me. That seemed like it was way too long, so I checked my logs and yep, my first logged run of it was at the beginning of August 2012. So, thanks for almost a decade and a half of backing me up, SuperDuper! Related

Game designer and programmer, co-founder of id Software and co-creator of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D. Now runs Romero Games in Galway, Ireland.
Hi Sandy, I hope you’re well. I have appreciated the recent discussions. I do not agree with your framing. Regarding piracy, DOOM is a complicated example because shareware was the model. DOOM’s first episode was designed to be freely copied, passed around, uploaded, installed, and played. That enormous unpaid audience was not the same thing as piracy. It was part of how DOOM reached the world. By the mid-90s, DOOM had something like 20 million shareware installs and more than 2 million paid copies sold. Those 20 million people were not “pirates” by default. A huge number of them were playing… Quoting @SandyofCthulhu @GameStalgiaX F*ck pirates, as a man who designed video games from 1988 through 2012. 70-90% of Doom's players pirated it. If not for that we would literally have had so much more for our workspace and upcoming projects - Quake may not have gutted id Software. At least 50% of Age of Empires was pir… Related

So, you have to think about the full the full thing you're trying to build not just the one piece even though that's what you might remember. You have to remember it's it's a it's a system that you're going to innovate with.

New supply chain attack this time for npm axios, the most popular HTTP client library with 300M weekly downloads. Scanning my system I found a use imported from googleworkspace/cli from a few days ago when I was experimenting with gmail/gcal cli. The installed version (luckily) resolved to an unaffected 1.13.5, but the project dependency is not pinned, meaning that if I did this earlier today the code would have resolved to latest and I'd be pwned. It's possible to personally defend against these to some extent with local settings e.g. release-age constraints, or containers or etc, but I thin… stepsecurity.io
Quoting @feross 🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downl… Related

This is the best piece of news from 2025 in my opinion: Solar is already close to being the world's biggest energy source, with about 3 TW (= 3000 nuclear power plants!!) worth of installed capacity. This graph from Science Magazine (link below) really says it all - because what do you think will happen next year, then ten years from now as solar keeps getting cheaper and cheaper? solar energy Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
