These toots brought to you by 2 Philips SoniCare toothbrushes failing within days of each other. Neither of them had fatal problems other than they're not designed to be repaired or maintained. I could fix both of them with the right parts, but as it was, I was only able to salvage one with a part from the other. 🫤

I wouldn't mind overengineered, disposable electronics so much if they were also engineered to be easily recycled.

Ghost or Substack? Eleventy or WordPress? Newsletter or blog...or online magazine? There are a lot of choices these days in online publishing, so I've detailed my own recent experiences in this post.

I discuss how I've found Ghost's fediverse integration so far (there are issues, but I'm fully supportive), why you *shouldn't* choose Substack, why I find @11ty such a joy, and why #WordPress is in desperate need of modernization. https://ricmac.org/2025/08/21/ghost-substack-eleventy-wordpress/

"... the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul - all spray painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at the country fair."

"...arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel."

NEW: The hackers who broke into the computer of an alleged North Korean government hacker, exposing their espionage operations and hacking tool, explained why they did it.

“These nation state hackers are hacking for all the wrong reasons, I hope more of them will get exposed, they deserve to be,” one of the hackers, who called himself a hacktivist, told me.

The two, Saber and cyb0rg, wrote a detailed technical article on their hack in the latest (and 40th anniversary) issue of legendary hacker e-zine Phrack.

This is what the White House’s official Instagram posted last night, and my response to it, as they’ve been deleting educated replies to it, as afterall this is Trump’s administration announcing war on education, history and the truth.
