Sometimes I think back to a radio broadcast about aggression on the road. A reporter mentioned that he very often received the middle finger from other road users. Self-reflection, I suspect, was not his strongest suit.

So glad I’m using static site generators 😅

The coming months will reveal whether the US is a friend to Europe or an enemy. Will the US truly obstruct the ICC? Or punish Europe for its plan to remain independent of Starlink? The threatening language coming from the US is not exactly reassuring.

A year ago I made this board for a hacker festival where you could find secret tokens. #why2025

According to my wife @jolievdk.bsky.social, human heads are just like those of dolls: some are made of porcelain and others are made of papier-mâché 😄

Did you know that Melanie, the singer known for Beautiful People, also released a song that was banned from many American radio stations? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTM...

I bought a jar of pesto, asked Claude for a recipe, and Claude told me that pesto from a jar has hardly any taste, it is mostly "fat and salt" 😭 He did come up with suggestions to make something out of it anyway.

Should you use two or three options in the dark-light toggle on a webpage? I say: don't use a toggle at all. bitstorm.org/weblog/2026-...

Yesterday, pie-throwing Noël Godin passed away at the age of 80. His most famous victim was Bill Gates. bitstorm.org/gates/

When you deleted your Facebook and Instagram accounts but they still know who you are (Dutch) 😠

There was once a study that showed fewer thefts occurred when there was a photo of someone looking at you. Now Utrecht is trying the same thing with traffic lights. I am curious about the outcome.

Yes, I my eclipse glasses are just delivered! 😎

I added the manual for installing Linux on this specific Chromebook. It's based on my actual installation procedure. github.com/edwinm/linux... You can buy this Chromebook here www.marktplaats.nl/v/computers-...

@css-only.dev your blogpost is dated August 5, 2027 🙂 css-tip.com/breakout-bac...

While coding, there's one thing I don't like about using AI.

A couple of days ago I bought a second hand Chromebook for 20 euros, spend an evening installing Linux and now I have something to take on vacation, keep near the couch etc.

If you've seen The Odyssey and want to visit Troy, just like 400.000 other people every year, remember there is nothing left but a pile of rubble maps.app.goo.gl/4YKygmcPuvz8...

The last couple of days, I worked on a new ESP32 project: a terminal emulator. Show `htop` on a small screen next to your server. www.hackster.io/edwinm/esp32...

People from the dog walking service: It's real work, you know Me: Uhuh

Yesterday during NOR-ENG, I decided to see how difficult it is to vibecode something for a small esp32 device I had lying around. The answer: very easy. Previously, only time and imagination were the limiting factors for such a project. Now, it is just the imagination. github.com/edwinm/kitch...

I learned from a video from @robwords.com that the hash (#) and sharp (♯) symbols are two separate things. That means that C-sharp (the programming language) should not be written as C#, but as C♯.

Heavy #hail in #Hilversum tonight. Today I saw many cars with dents in their roofs. (🔊 on)

I saw this building and it felt like walking into a drawing by Joost Swarte www.joostswarte.nl

Hmm, delicious: black liquorice ice cream

If you want to export your Spotify playlist as html or csv file, you can do that as well. You can use this vide-coded playlist exporter. It's 100% frontend, so none of what you type is stored on the server. bitstorm.org/spotify-play...

My daughter (21) is going on a month-long camper trip through Europe with a friend. She asked if I could add songs to her Spotify playlist. I have added a number of timeless classics, slightly tailored to my taste. Here is the full list I have added. bitstorm.org/edwin/best-s...

One of the most overlooked qualities of a place to live is whether birdsong surrounds your home.

Het Japanse pretpark met Holland-thema heeft nu ook gigantische vechtende robots. Hoe kon het ooit zonder bestaan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzIh...

One of my hobbies is photography. Over the last few days, I have organized my photo collection and put part of it on Picflow. edwinm.picflow.com

A couple of years ago, I posted a AI generated picture of Amsterdam made with Lego bricks. Now, unrelated, a Lego Ideas approved a Amsterdam Lego set beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Onbegrijpelijk. De minister verzwijgt contracten voor de Kamer en de Kamer laat dat zonder debat passeren. VVD en CDA missen zelfs het fatsoen om op te staan en aan te geven waarom ze dit niet willen steunen. Het parlement laat zich het kaas van het brood eten. Volgende week nieuw verzoek.

Installing a new car radio in my daughter's camper. For some inexplicable reason, it worked 😅

Hot take: brutalist architecture (and design) is merely camouflage for the inability to really design.

Zelfs in Hilversum werd de rookwolk opgepikt door mijn fijnstofsensor. Zie ook de animatie van de luchtkwaliteit van Nederland samenmeten.rivm.nl/animatie/pm2...

It surprises me how many software bugs I encounter. I recognize them as such, but many other people don't. They feel stupid if they can't get something simple to work. In my opinion, this is an underestimated problem.

Zie hier waarom een fatbikeverbod onzin is.

I hadn't seen this before. A mopping robot in my supermarket.

Choosing a movie on Netflix was a tedious task every single time. So I created a Claude task that gives me a list of recommended movies every week, based on movies I have already seen and rated.

There are two types of people: people who think it's best to live without drama, and people for whom drama *is* life.

Claude Mythos is zo goed in het vinden van softwarelekken dat Anthropic het model niet uitbrengt. Dat kan grote gevolgen hebben voor cybersecurity. #Tweakers
