On the way home from #PyConUS 2026. Quite an experience this year; very intense. No point in sugar-coating the part where there is a pervasive vibe-sickness, open source is suffering a massive sustainability crisis, slop security PRs are overwhelming everyone (etc etc). But there was a lot of hope, a lot of energy, a lot of effort toward mutual understanding, and (surprising to me) a lot of *appreciation*. Including for my own work, both writing and coding.

A few people on and offline have asked if I'd be willing to build or offer consultation for their websites. If anyone here is also curious about that too, the answer is yes. Brief accessibility audits are generally free for individuals and charities, but I only have so much time and I'm 1 person.

When possible, use archive.org

archive.today also owns the urls:
archive.fo
archive.is
archive.li
archive.md
archive.ph
archive.vn

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/

Archive.today has begun rolling out Google's reCaptcha as well, which is concerning when it can be altered.

I do not have evidence, but I can see how this could possibly be a malware vector in the future.

Goedel's point btw if you haven't read it (and honestly i don't blame you) is that we can't know everything, not that we can't know anything.

Watching people try to "debug" coding agent behavior is so unbelievably painful. It's just fucking magic incantations

Did you use this specific super power?
Did you ask it to explain itself?
Did you read it's thought process to see where it's getting overwhelmed?

No because none of that is real. It does not do any of those things. It confabulates statistically probable text, and it does that over and over until a control loop stops asking for more. That is the whole entire thing.

Canadians: we really need you to contact your MPs

DontSurveil.Me has put together a great explainer on Bill C-22.

Canadians need to pay attention.

Expanding surveillance powers, retaining metadata, and weakening encryption all threaten privacy, free expression, civil liberties, and digital rights.

If we care about privacy, digital rights, and a free society, now is the time to speak up, contact MPs, and push back before this becomes law.
