On Sunday, 2025-05-11 there will be scheduled maintenance of the suckless servers. It's estimated this will take about 2 hours from about 10:00 to 12:00 UTC.

The mailinglist, website and source-code repositories will have some downtime.

Update: the maintenance was finished at 2025-05-11 13:00 UTC. There was a small issue with storage space, hence the 1h delay for fixing it.

What's 1.21 Gigawatts in Watts?

Earlier this year I started dipping my toes into Zig, an imperative, general-purpose, statically typed, compiled system programming language with a focus on performance and simplicity. As part of this journey, I created a lightweight open source utility called whats.

What’s whats?

whats is a command-line tool designed for quick, intuitive unit conversions and basic calculations. It lets users phrase their queries naturally and returns concise, relevant answers. For example:

whats 3 meters in feet

The tool is flexible in how it interprets input and it supports various styles, such as whats 3meters in feet, shorthand like whats 3m in ft, or even the minimal whats 3m ft. The aim is...

Adding Modest Friction

Over the years of contributing to this site, I have developed a fair sense of the types of posts that tend to gain traction on platforms that, in recent years, have increasingly begun to treat content with a kind of fast food mentality. While I’m grateful when my work reaches a wider audience, I also recognize that the themes I explore often resonate more with a specialized, niche readership.

Occasionally, a piece – usually one that is fundamentally reflective or opinion-driven – becomes the subject of sudden attention, drawing in waves of visitors from aggregators such as Hacker News, Reddit, or Twitter X. These posts tend to attract attention...

Resistance from the tech sector

As of late, most of us have been reading the news with a sense of anxious trepidation. At least, those of us who read from a position of relative comfort and privilege. Many more read the news with fear. Some of us are already no longer in a position to read the news at all, having become the unfortunate subjects of the news. Fascism is on the rise worldwide and in the United States the news is particularly alarming. The time has arrived to act.

The enemy wants you to be overwhelmed and depressed, to feel like the situation is out of your control. Propaganda is as...

Однажды китайский ученый Ли Хунь Янь обнаружил некоторую незначительную, однако, существенно отличающуюся от фона корреляцию между количеством псилоцибина потребляемого корфуцианскими медузами и характером передвижения оных по стенкам четырехсотлитровго шарообразного аквариума, установленного в лаборатории по случаю празднования сто второго полугодичного затмения от начала новой эры Сингулярного Прорыва. Недолго думая, Ли Хунь Янь приделал к щупальцам медуз источники излучения в видимом диапазоне но с разной длинной волны, заснял весь процесс шестью камерами с 48 часовой выдержкой, симметрично расставив последние вокруг сосуда, где резвились подопытные и через неделю собрал прелюбопытнейший материал, который, в свою очередь, лег в основу фундаментального труда, ныне известного, как теория полутретичных n-многообразий простой метрики Ли Хунь Янь, с которой (с некоторыми упрощениями и оговорками) я, по мере сил, постараюсь познакомить любопытного и пытливого читателя.
