Up the Down Staircase is a novel (in an unconventional format, which I'll describe in a moment) about the experiences of a new teacher in a fictional New York City high school. It was a massive best-seller in the 1960s, including a 1967 movie, but seems to have dropped out of the public discussion. I read it from th...

Due to my own laziness and a few functionality issues my "for work laptop" is still using a 15+ year old setup with X11 and awesome. Since trixie is now starting its freeze, it's time to update that odd machine as well and look at the fallout. Good news: It's mostly my own resistance to change which required some ki...

Remember the XZ Utils backdoor? One factor that enabled the attack was poor auditing of the release tarballs for differences compared to the Git version controlled source code. This proved to be a useful place to distribute malicious data. The differences between release tarballs and upstream Git sources is typicall...

Last year, I decided to start participating in the Debian LTS and ELTS projects. It was a great opportunity to engage in something new within the Debian community.

It seems to me that we haven’t had much change in the overall design of desktop PCs since floppy drives were removed, and modern PCs still have bays the size of 5.25″ floppy drives despite having nothing modern that can fit in such spaces other than DVD drives (which aren’t really modern) and carriers for 4*2.5″ dri...

It’s been almost 15 months since I blogged about Storage Trends 2024 [1]. There hasn’t been much change in this time (in Australia at least – I’m not tracking prices in other countries). The change was so small I had to check how the Australian dollar has performed against other currencies to see if changes to curre...

Both GCC and Clang support the -fsanitize=undefined flag which instruments the generated code to detect places where the program wanders into parts of the C language specification which are either undefined or implementation defined. Many of these are also common programming errors. It would be great if there were s...

From 1995 to 2019, I ran my own mail server. It began with a UUCP link, an expensive long-distance call for me then. Later, I ran a mail server in my apartment, then ran it as a VPS at various places. But running an email server got difficult. You can’t just run it on a residential IP. Now there’s SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ...
