A tsunami watch across the entire Pacific Northwest coast is a good reminder that if you're a public agency, you shouldn't be sending required comms via a social platform that requires people to log in.

Also that non-democracy destroying algormic social media exists and government can self host

Making this took way longer than it should 😆 I had to make sense in the distorted coordinates in order to map the gradient to it such that it repeats every two revolutions.

🆕 blog! “I'm never going back to Matrix”

I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea …

A Tsunami Advisory remains in effect for the California coast, including all coastal regions in the Bay Area and Central Coast, due to an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Kamchatka. Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves carrying a large mass of water. This will NOT be a single wave, and the first wave might not be the largest. Even if wave heights are low, dangerous and powerful currents are possibl

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠

I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!

Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Built on a modular system, each letter can fit inside any given rectangular container and transforms continuously if its ratio changes. In theory, it's infinitely flexible.

For more information and interactive demos, see the website: https://ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex

Attachments:

• gifv: Perfect loop animation, white background, thick black lines. The words "flex flex" shrink and grow in different combinations to show the flexibility of the typeface.

I'll be at #EuroBSDCon for the first time in, eight years? Nine, maybe?

Anyway. If you're one of the folks who's asked me to show up, I'll be teaching email and TLS.

Register at https://2025.eurobsdcon.org/registration.html

Why this year? Lots of gelato within walking distance, obvs.

Discourse, in their endless wisdom, decided to now include the discourse-ai plugin by default in their distribution, which isn't just.. you know.. AI bullshit - it's also adding a hard-dependency to the pgvector PostgreSQL extension - which isn't included in any default distribution, so they just threw a big fuck-you to everyone self-hosting it with their own database setup.

It's days like this where I keep questioning why I'm still running infrastructure for FOSS projects.

I'm biased but, I think we should learn the language of the web in grade school. But maybe, with AI, it's a lost art; something we'll see on a tv show like a candle maker lol
