Update: the server is fine. Turns out, it’s DNS! There’s an issue with our upstream DNS provider.

Hi. I'm terrified.

I've been trying to make my own space on the web for years. And I've been stuck. Badly.

But today is my birthday. And I refuse to let another year pass without putting something—anything—out there.

So here it is in all its messy glory. My first post on my barely-there #website: https://fromemily.com/hi-im-terrified/

It's not great. But it's okay...enough.

And I hope it means something to someone.

@draken @zeank @SteveBellovin @wendyg @signalapp @maswan you folks seem to be looking for an argument. This being the Internet, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding one. Just not with me. I tried and failed to answer your questions in good faith. Bye now.

Y’all, we are in a timeline where the #AARP is telling old people to buy burner phones before going through border checks. What the actual fuck are we doing, America?
In other news, someone in DC just told me that the security fences have gone back up around the White House,so buckle up, they’re about to do something even worse than we’ve seen.

The DC Circuit ruled en banc (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41813/gov.uscourts.cadc.41813.01208727297.0.pdf) that the president cannot unilaterally fire members of multi-member governing bodies, in this case the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board, without going through the process prescribed by statute. They relied on a 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent, which they're not empowered to overrule.

Holy shit, the PCB design of this new sensor board, called Ophanim, of CERN’s Aegis experiment just fucking slaps. Right now, there don’t seem to be many images of it on the web, but I hope to see more in the future.

Periodic reminder: I don’t regularly or reliably check my DMs here. If you sent me one and I haven’t responded, I suppose it’s *possible* that I’m deliberately ignoring you, but it’s much more likely that I just never saw it. Email or skywriting are more reliable ways to reach me.

(Also, the Mastodon “private mention” mechanism is badly flawed, and I don’t recommend its use by anyone.)

A reminder that Trump’s stupid unnecessary escalations with tariffs is inconsequential compared to the fact that this is the man with the button and the nuclear codes.

Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we’re temporarily pausing US sales of a few of our base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U).

For now, these models will be removed from our US site.

We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

Trump's tariffs on the rest of the world are not about money, imports or exports, and therefore economist can make no sense of them.

The tariffs are plain and simply bullying, no more, no less.

Their only purpose is to make everybody important come begging, hat in hand, forced to recognize the "power" of the bully.

"Nice business/country you have there, too bad if anything happened to it..."

The correct response is to take your business elsewhere.
