Today is a day of a national shutdown. Many working in tech are likely afraid of losing their jobs, a reasonable fear.
If you can’t take today off, consider alternative actions you might take to show solidarity for those in this country under persecution

More than 450 tech workers from companies like Google, Meta, OpenAI, Amazon, and Salesforce have signed a letter urging their CEOs to call the White House and demand ICE leave our cities.Rebecca Bellan (TechCrunch)
If you can’t show solidarity, give it.
If you’re a tech worker with the means, help families who have been stuck in their homes for weeks unable to work or live their lives who need help with food or rent

Yet another day of screaming at digital enshitiffication:
1. My coworkers and I are in a car driving to FOSDEM.
2. We pull up to charge the car.
3. Charging station REQUIRES you to use an app, no option to just pay with a card.
4. We try to install the stupid app. We carry phones running:
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- LineageOS, postmarketOS, iOS
5. Neither of our phones meet requirements to install the stupid app (Play Integrity API).
6. My iPhone can't install the app, because it's "Not available in your country".
7. We give up and drive to another charging station.
This is NOT how you introduce applications, "Circle K" 
We're now using our own autonomous system and IP space for 3 of our networks. We run 2 entirely separate anycast DNS networks for our authoritative DNS and have a simpler unicast setup on a bare metal server at Xenyth which we'll be using for more soon.
GrapheneOS Foundation (AS40806) is a BGP network that is peering with 14 other networks and has 2 upstream carriersbgp.tools
Catherine O’Hara died today.
With her death, the character Kevin McCallister from the original two 'Home Alone' movies, played by Macaulay Culkin, is now an orphan.
Wait, is that even a thing?
Kevin's father, Peter, played by John Heard, died in 2017, at the age of 71, coincidentally, the same age as Catherine O’Hara.
R.I.P.
It's definitely checked luggage for a flight, yes.
Mh, it has fit in storage compartments/overhead storage thingies in any long distance train, so far. 🤷
(being a backpack it's a lot slimmer and longer than a normal suitcase.)
It's really heartbreaking to see a technically superior OS (MacOS/iOS) turn into complete dogshit because the people running the show are clueless.
They had the best implementations of almost everything but decided to just keep making the user experience worse every release and letting the craziest bugs manifest and go unaddressed for years
I guess with Cook being so focused on making Apple a services-focused company it was bound to happen, but damn... they really ruined a technical masterpiece.
And worse, every release they make it even harder for a competent engineer to actually debug these kind of issues. What good is having Dtrace if you can't even use it because of SIP, etc?

> An engineer using Quilter completed the two-board system with 12 hours of cleanup on the baseboard instead of the 238 hours quoted for a manual layout, and 26.5 hours of cleanup on the System-on-Module (SOM) instead of the 190 hours quoted for its manual layout. In total, 38.5 hours of human input replaced 428 hours of estimated manual effort.
