In hindu mythology, there is casual violence committed on "demons" who are supposed to be terrible people. Today is a day that celebrates the death of one of those for the South Indian hindus. Given how hindus treat Indigenous people today, it is not lost on me that it is very likely that those "demons" were likely innocent folks upon whom we inflicted violence 2000 years ago and decided to cement that horror in a mythology conveniently claiming these folks deserved it. This is why I do not celebrate Diwali. The closer you peer into hinduism, the more oppressive it becomes.

I'd like to thank #Github for the onus to clean up my projects and get my house in order. No thanks to them for the reason behind it (Copilot). I'll have a full blogpost on it later. For now it's clean-up time.

I applied for UK citizenship towards the end of 2021. In this article, I describe my experience in full detail.

I’m very adamant about using “toot” instead of “post”. I’ll die on this hill, but hopefully not today because I have lots of errands to run, like buying stamps at the toot office.

Exactly eight years ago, I published “Hello there!” on this website. Since then, I have published hundreds of articles. Persistent writing is excellent for many reasons and is the best thing I have ever done for my personal and professional development.

I must have magic powers. I can put something down for 5 seconds and then it completely disappears.

Always pay attention to where people's eyes dart when they are talking to you. If their eyes go up and to the right it could mean there is a cool bird behind you over your left shoulder.

I recently added support for federated social networking features to my website. If you’re on a service like Mastodon, and you interact with a post that links to something on my website, it’ll show up …

Today, if you publish a popular Go module on a URL and you lose control of the URL (through, eg, domain expiration and having the domain snatched up), you have a problem that's probably more or less impossible to deal with short of making blog/Fediverse/etc posts about the situation. Go module identity is tied to URLs with more or less no external override or way to automatically announce and see problems (individual people can override for their usage, but that doesn't scale).

Accidentally left freshly cut cat nip out over night. Let's just say it did not go unnoticed by the cats :ablobcatrave:

Past-self just saved me 2+ hours by documenting how to do the thing that took ~3 hours to figure out and fix last time. Good job past-self. Also, good job current-self for remembering that past-self should have documented this and then going to find the doc.

I finally bought @beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com's new book, You Deserve A Tech Union, because we do deserve one. And very amusingly, my learning & development budget covered it. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union
