Thou shall not vibecode.
Thou shall not cover thy neighbors AI pull request.
Thou shall not run an agent without a sandbox lest your production database be vanquished.

When Internet exchange points (#IXPs) keep traffic local, costs fall while speed and reliability increase.

In 40 out of 50 countries we analyzed, the share of income needed to afford basic mobile broadband fell by more than 10% after receiving a grant from the Internet Society Foundation for IXP development or local peering ecosystem support. In several countries, the improvement is far larger, suggesting substantial shifts in affordability over time.

@Jdm2 @mo8it this is almost my exact setup

@timbray @sayrer where do multi-document formats such as CBOR, YAML and JSONL (json lines) fall in this?

On that hour taxi line, you know that guy on Clarkson’s Farm who drives the tractor, has one of those English-style mullets, and is unintelligible? A young version of him was behind me… a little more intelligible but not by much. He talked the whole time, except when he was smoking and drinking. He had one of those massive bottles of beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other…. constantly. When he finished one he’d immediately light up another. Pleasant fellow otherwise.

@partim Also, and perhaps I can’t stress this enough, they suck. Along with LHR.

@partim a good question. I kept using their app and it kept saying no hotels available. Weather related cancellation ultimately because they were about to put us back on the plane.

Travel hell. Got deboarded in LHR due to mechanical. They called us all back an hour later. As we were all milling around and chatting, I tried to be Mr Calm by saying “it could be worse”. Well, I was right. Storm rolled through, 20 flights cancelled. British Air hustled us out of the airport without letting us know what was going on. Two hours later I learn I am flying to Copenhagen tomorrow to get back to the US. Nothing can be done about it. It takes 2 more hours to find a hotel. 1 hour taxi queue. Get to the hotel only to learn the travel agent never hit “save” or whatever. Fortunately got another hotel 20 min walk away for 50% more. Got checked in at 23:30. Sky bar closes at 24:00. Ordered two gin and tonics, doubles.

@paulehoffman I can think of no better person to get this done. Thanks for stepping forward.

The documents people have referenced for years as JSON Schema are labeled "work in-progress". They are drafts, literally "Internet-Draft".

Today, the IETF decided to start the process to fix that... to make JSON Schema a standard.

Anthropic is testing only making Claude Code available in their $100/month or higher plans.

Another sign that we’re hitting the Uber moment for AI tools and everyone’s stopping subsidizing tokens.

With data center capacity at a premium, they don’t need to attract more users. It’s monetization time

People want to learn about Meshtastic! We had a big turnout for NoVALUG’s April meeting, and we were rewarded with a great presentation. Thank you Lenley Ngo! (https://louisianamesh.org/)

The IETF Now Has an Open Source Team

The IESG, the steering group for the IETF, has created an IETF Open Source team. This gives open source communities an avenue to schedule sessions and create IETF mailing lists.

“Rough consensus and running code” has long been the unofficial motto of the IETF. While “running code” has traditionally referred to implementation experience, today a significant portion of that code is developed and maintained in open source communities. This reflects a deep-seated recognition that the Internet’s stability relies on the vital relationship between open source software and standardized protocols.

Having a little going away with an old boss and came up with the phrase:

"Changing jobs is just 'same fire, different dumpster.'"

How do i get a trademark on this.

LLMs seem to be confused by reverse dns domains and IP hierarchy.

I have hit peak 2026: using an AI agent to write specification files for other AI agents.

@paulehoffman @bagder Welcome to the world of automated trial and error and brute force logic engineering. And I am not trying to be snide or dismissive. This video from Adafruit was an eye-opener for me: https://youtu.be/iDKODpuzXmo?si=TVsOeJ0PL9e41lBI

Both AMD and ARM have recently said that this new AI era is causing increased demand for their CPUs because agents are now being driven to kick-off lots of more traditional workflows.

Happy Easter! With my Lenten YouTube fast over, I see that #opencode content has gone from “not much” to “discovered by tech influencers”.

@porkbun RDAP is a pretty silly address and I appreciate that.

You never see ‘.horse‘ in IOCs because it’s a $25 domain!
