Four years years ago AT&T, a company that, for years, cheapened out on upgrading its broadband lines to fiber, effectively stopped selling DSL. While that’s understandable given the limitations…Techdirt
Yeah tell me again how "crazy" I am to think that media outlets will pivot to just producing generative trash at easy margins.

🎉 Happy to announce that my talk "A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP" at FOSDEM has been accepted! 🎉
I'll explore a new way of seeing XMPP and how it can achieve things quickly and simply when used as a coding interface. I’ll also discuss the work of the XMPP Standards Foundation and why having many XEPs isn’t a bad thing.
📍 See you at FOSDEM 1 & 2 February 2025 at Real-Time Lounge.

My daughter recently got very interested in puzzles, particularly simplified Sudokus in her comics. The problem was that she really enjoyed the puzzles, but the comics only come out once a week - a limited supply!
In an exceedingly-rare case of "developer actually finishes side project", I built a quick web app at kidssudoku.com
It uses a small 6x6 grid, and emojis in theme sets rather than numbers.
If you've a young puzzler in your house, give it a go, and let me know your thoughts!

I know it's twee to romanticise libraries, but it will never not amaze me that we can ask for a book they don't have and a librarian in a local library on the far side of the country will walk over to pick it off a shelf and send it to a librarian in my local library who will walk over to put it on a shelf, reserved for me, just for me, for free.
The only thing better than picking up an inter-library loan from the reservations shelf at the library is picking up an inter-library loan from the reservations shelf at the library when it's a Terry Pratchett book you haven't read before.

"Have you ever wondered what people used to name their dogs back in medieval times?
"Lucky for us, there was this book written back in the 15th century that included over 1,000 names that were considered to be suitable for dogs," Lexi says.
After reading the entire book, she shared some of her favorite names, which included Garlik, Nosewise, Synfull, Salmon, Mustarde, Bryan, and also Nise and Noty, Filthe, Dredefull, and Arguement.
The book, which featured about 1,065 dog names that people deemed appropriate back then, was recently sold into a closed private collection.
The Smithsonian Magazine said Sturdy, Whitefoot, Hardy, Jakke, Bo, Terri, Troy, Nosewise, Amiable, Nameles, Clenche, Bragge, Ringwood and Holdfast were all also popular dog names
