“My body is here, but my soul never left the place that once held my laughter, my silence, my peace.

My body is here, but my soul never left the place that once held my laughter, my silence, my peace. I miss the warmth of my home — the sunlight spilling through familiar windows, and the small joys I once took for granted: quiet mornings, fleeting smiles, the fragile moments that made life whole. Each gust of wind reminds me of what we lost, and each night the cold carves its way into my bones, as if searching for the warmth it once knew. Yet ...

Content warning: open source whinging

Ugh why is this always the way. I evaluated like 25 authentication servers for a small scale web project — I do want to support things like OIDC and Passkeys, so this is not something I really want to make myself like the old days of “use crypt() on the passwords and just make a simple database”.
5 of them are just dev mode garbage that will never see the light of day as a thing people use.
2 of them are home network nonsense for people who want enterprise login for their family, but where One Nerd controls the whole user-list.
15 of them are freemium "open source" where they withhold features for their enterprise tier and make them so unfortunately difficult to deploy, all requiring postgresql databases and a complex containerization setup and helm charts and oh so much.
and then there's kanidm, which is great except its opinions make it completely unusable for a community project, it's really more trying to fit the ‘enterprise unix authentication' space. Kudos to them for communicating it but it's the wrong tool, even if it is really good.
And then there's rauthy. Which is exactly what I want, well built and delightful, uses a lightweight embedded database, and even has a peer-to-peer sync for scalability. But customizing it is going to be a lesson in building it from source repeatedly, and its configuration is just a bit strange, and its frontend is extremely Backend Developer Wrote A Web UI. I guess I got a second project. And maybe a third to make debian packages of it.
Yet it really is the best of the options _by far_.
NLNet supported projects continue to punch above their weight class.

November 3, 2026:
Donald Trump calls the press into the Oval Office and announces that the GOP has held the House
—but he warns that Democrats will try to steal the election,
and announces plans to send a legal team to Arizona to root out fraud.
He spends the rest of the night posting threats and allegations on Truth Social.
In the morning, Republican lawyers file to stop vote counting,
arguing that any votes counted after Election Day are illegal under f…

Donald Trump’s Plan to Subvert the Midterms Is Already Under Way

This article about a liberal reporter dating MAGA men really shows some of the core of what's breaking this world right now. And it's not just the US. Men are not okay. Like at all.

Over the course of a few dates, he’d make this mistake often, where he’d talk about Trump in the first person. And I came to realise that while I was trying to separate Jared from who he voted for, he may have been personally struggling to do the exact same thing, just in a very different way. It became clear to me that he truly loved Trump not just because he identified with Trump the politician but because he identified with Trump the person being considered ‘bad’ by progressive standards.

“The leading reason for police use of force is lack of compliance,” that department member said. “I’m a law enforcement officer. I’ve had people defy things I’ve needed done and had to get physical.” Another officer said the main role for a local police force is to “protect life and property and keep the peace,” so that would include protecting federal immigration enforcement agents if they’re in a bind on the streets.
But where it gets muddled, he said, is during protests, when citizens protesting against ICE and Border Patrol personnel see Chicago police officers protecting the federal officers. He said a normal citizen might think, albeit erroneously in his view, that Chicago police’s efforts in that situation are helping the federal officers with immigration enforcement when they aren’t.

If the government shuts down or the government stays open, that is on the gop.

Microsoft did this? I’m shocked. I thought they were too busy helping Israel commit genocide in Palestine. How do they even find the time? xoxo.zone/@davidcelis/11511448
