Here's what bothers me about AI-generated code, and I'm going to use my own fuck-up as an example. I was calling a DBus interface from C , which I'd already done elsewhere in the code. So I cut & pasted, and adjusted variable names.. It didn't work. So naturally I assumed something was wrong on the other end. I added delays to make sure the other side had enough time to bring up interfaces, I wrote some introspection code to ensure the interface was available, etc.

Thinking of reinstalling my computer from scratch to iron out all its kinks and tardiness from years of software experiments and trials. Just need to make sure all files are backed up... as I don't want to reinstall the computer from a backup – which would defeat the purpose.

Today I learned how to use socat to pipe IPv4 traffic to my #homelab that's accessible only over IPv6 (thanks 1&1 and DS-Lite).
Set the DNS A record to a VPS I already have, spin up a reverse proxy on the VPS via docker, point the right domains to a socat docker container which TCP6's the IPv4 traffic the right way. Don't forget to add an IPv6 network to the socat container. Done.

I love what Tauri has done, a lightweight version of Electron, where you author the backend code in Rust.
But while I love Rust, I do not love it for app building, and I wanted to have that HTML-model for programming but available in Swift.
I used assorted AI tools to port Tauri to Swift (it still reuses the big chunks of code from Tauri), but now you can write HTML desktop apps in Swift:

Friday was an adventure in tech futility. Started with a gifted laptop, Dell Latitude, and the simple task of wiping its poor excuse for an OS and installing something sensible.
#Ubuntu wasn't it. OMG Ubuntu, what HAVE you done?! Tried first #UbuntuStudio then stock Ubuntu, 24.04, 25.04, 25.11, all the installers simply hung, no log, no journalctl, CPU chugging but nada detectable action, even hours later, just "Preparing…"
Net advice is old, of course, but points to the snap bootstrap service, fix has no effect but Kee-riced look at the mount table?! Snaps crackle and pop all over! Wtf, why? 🤯
And it is tedious. These 'DVD' iso files are 7GB, so, after 6 hours frustration, I thought, let's try something smaller to cut the turnaround time. #Debian13 simple bare-bones net-install seemed a good candidate …
And it was. Seemless install. 😊

Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are;

#cycling to work is great for science if it can be done without stress 🚲. I must have written some good chunks of my papers in my head while cycling to work.

I saw him 3 weeks ago to schedule a shot in my arthritic knee, and mentioned the wife & I had both come down with some viral crud going around.

The wife got a 1-off scrip for a codeine cough suppressant from urgent care last week & I asked if he’d give us another one, & he did. Maybe next time I’ll ask…

As an academic editor, there's nothing like receiving a truly well-written, smart, and timely submission. Even if the piece isn't perfect, if the authors have done all the work, rather than expecting me to tell them how to, or worse, to do it for them, are rare, precious, and greatly appreciated.

Emily Fox with a fun to read retrospective on what my team and a few other teams have done with post-quantum #cryptography at #RedHat and in #RHEL:

Had Fun

Bought a car/micro-camper

Bought a van to do up as a micro-camper, and did a temporary rush job of that conversion myself while waiting in the list for the pro to do it.
Then the pro gave himself a health criss the week it was booked so I took apart my temp job and only got another temp kit-job in it's place.
Went out in it like four times during that and then broke my wrist and couldn't really use it or improve it.
Then had to take it apart even more to try
and figure out where the ad-blue hole was.
I will do a proper permanent job of the
floor and walls and ceiling and adjustments to the kit-job to make it the nicest it's been so far during the spring next year.
My assumption that the prior conversion
into a van and for wheelchair-access meant the microcamper conversion was half-done already turned out to be false.
If I buy a new one, it'll be one that has never been wheelchair adapted.
But it's going okay. Only scraped it once so far.
Fewer than aimed for or booked, but I broke my wrist and had to cancel the second half of the summer.
Went to a conference about money and computers and fringe decentralized social media and it wasn't as boring as you might expect and felt pretty much like a festival.
Exactly the target number! It's lovely.
Took 3 times longer than I'd hoped and
50% more money than I'd planned for really.
Still improvements to make but they will
be incremental and gradual over the coming year or two now.
It's been interest-only for 20 years so a big old lump sum payment that I never really expected to be able to make. Expected to have to sell and move at the end of the mortgage term.
But surprisingly the stocks ISA got high enough to pay it off after all, so I did that.
Cash-flow ruined by that and the bedroom but should start to feel a bit richer next year.

Good Morning #Canada
Last week I registered with Ontario's Healthcare Connect program to help us get a family doctor in the Barrie area. Our previous family doctor retired in November and we were still covered by the clinic but it's in Brampton, more than 90 minutes away. So I'm now relying on Dougie to keep his promise to find a family doctor for all Ontarians by June 2026. I mean he's done so well with housing, environmental goals, Eglinton Crosstown....
Did you know that 83% of Canadians now report they have regular access to a family doctor which means an approximate 500K improvement in the past two years. That still leaves about 6M of us without a family physician. Family physician shortages are the highest in the territories (>55%), Quebec (21.5%) and British Columbia (17.7%), and the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia have the fewest family physicians per 100 000 persons in the population.
