Three years of posting random links to Techjournal today. Quite a landmark. It started out with more noble intentions but descended into a link pit.

I finally got spooked by systemd and upgraded my Debian Trixie desktop to Devuan.
Had a few hiccups during the migration and then some problems with bluetooth, but otherwise, working well. Just got to convert a Thinkpad now and I’ll be systemd-free for my general purpose computing.
Is it time to get off X? Not because of the politics or the Grok scandals, but because it hoovers up so much damn time? I have to admit to being pulled in by AI and it’s funny to note that the last time I mentioned AI in this Stream was on 19 September 2025 where I mentioned Cody. Cody!
Dance is a lesser art-form because it depends upon and is derivative of a higher and more sophisticated art-form: music.
Dealing with a ruptured achilles tendon right now.
Storm Eowyn came and went yesterday. Got a bit tasty at times but didn’t reach Storm Arwen levels, and no permanent damage done. We did find part of someone’s old school TV aerial in our front garden though. We raced in to check if it was our Freeview that was lost but alas not…
Watching Edinburgh v Black Lion in the Challenge Cup. 24-3 to Edinburgh after 32 minutes.
Have been fascinated by a lot of AI tools lately and have been keeping up with some of the hype on X. Getting bored of it already and slightly offput by the direction of travel.
Can’t deny that Cody has been really useful though.
Moved desktop to Void Linux.
I fucking hate Kubernetes and fucking hate OpenShift and am starting to really fucking hate Docker. This is after months of trying to get a fucking Django app through a ridiculously long pipeline into a cluster.
Fuck Kubernetes.
“If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way.”
