tl;dr: It’s been around 6 weeks using an ergonomic split keyboard. Inspired by Peter’s blog post about his experiences in changing to a split keyboard (and alternative keyboard layouts), I wanted to share bit of my own journey of using an ergonomic split keyboard: As part of the “elder millennials” , I grew up around early DOS computers and their command-line, followed by an early internet that for lack of real
In one form or another, this website has had the little widget to display some information about myself at the bottom of the page since 2018.
tl;dr: A long list of what I used to replace iOS apps when I switched to GrapheneOS. In the last year or so I’ve been working on taking back control over my means of computation, starting with my main computer, but also where I host my code and how I host some of the things I use.
tl;dr: Here’s a small addition to how you can also scramble images so that “AI” scrapers will end up with a poisoned data set Earlier this year, I’ve written about how I setup this static website to not only serve human-readable data, but also “poisoned data” to mess with the scrapers that are used to collect the training data sets for generative “AI”.

You can also find a web-proxied version here. If you have no clue what this means: Gemini is a small, alternative internet communications protocol browsing remote documents, similar Gopher.
In mid-2024, I’ve moved back to using vim as my main text editor, both for code and prose like this blog post. Something like 15 years ago I had dabbled a bit with vim, but never much more than being able to perform simple edits and get the hang of the hjkl navigation.
