An upside of a deaf dog: he doesn’t care about fireworks
Why AI will turn evil, or: the banality of evil – a really inspiring piece about the moral implications of AI.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
pretty cool project: Sniffnet, a network monitor. A bit like top, but for network traffic.
There is an alternative to disable Apple Music starting when hitting the play / pause button: noTunes
YouTube recommendation: Veronica Explains. A nerdy channel about Linux, old computers and hobby hacking projects. I like it a lot!
TIL: you can avoid Apple Music from launching when you press the play / pause key by unloading a launch agent:
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist
Update: sadly this also means you can't use the play / pause button for Spotify.
Delivering and receiving Emails in the modern internet is such a shit show. The big providers (looking at you, Google and Microsoft!) do their own shit, and the old protocols are at least inofficially deprecated. Just try to send a mail via SMTP using an Office365 account (e.g. because the customer uses Office365 for their mail). The admin has to manually enable SMTP for users, and then you have to implement shit like XOAUTH2
. Sigh.
Damals[tm], als es noch die Bloggosphäre gab, haben wir „Nunchakus“ oder „Blog-Stöckchen“ geworfen.
Gibt es sowas heute eigentlich auch noch?
„What happens when you press a key in your terminal?“ is a pretty interesting article by Julia Evans about the tech going on in your terminal. Definitely worth a read!
A very good friend just published his first paper. Congratulations!
When monday morning begins with an electricity cut…
In case you are an Emacs user doing frontend development with TypeScript and React, there is a new major mode for TSX development: tsx-mode. It is a promising project. It uses tree-sitter for font-lock (syntax highlighting). My setup using use-package
can be found here and here. I also added it to my Doom Emacs config: see this and this.
„Tips for Improving Your Elixir Configuration“
Configuration has historically been a bit bumpy in the Elixir community, and this article has some interesting approaches to make it more flexible.
An good compilation of new(ish) command line tools. I myself use a lot of them, especially ripgrep
, difftastic
, fd
and bat
are really great tools.
„Orion Browser“ - WebKit UI supporting Firefox and Chrome extensions. Really an interesting project.
„Discover the IndieWeb, one blog post at a time.“ - what a great idea!
„Web3.0: A Libertarian Dystopia“ – a video about „Web 3.0“, explaining all the bullshit in a pretty funny way. I really enjoyed it.
I recently read a fascinating analysis about „The Joe Rogan Experience“, which is a pretty popular podcast exclusively published on Spotify. Definitely worth a read.
