Another milestone. Live RF monitoring into a client side WASM app. This is me pressing PTT twice.

Well, >1000 people reading my blog at once turned into a load test. To the point where I don't know what the true number is.

TIL `cat -n` is non-standard, and behaves completely differently on OpenBSD vs Linux. And frankly, `cat -n file 1 file2` when file1 doesn't end with a newline cannot possibly be what anybody wants, on OpenBSD?

Which, to be clear, I manually confirmed are in fact bugs.

If you feel bad about LLMs finding flaws in your code, a way to cheer up is to point it at other people's code, like OpenBSD, and see that in fact nobody is able to write bug free code. I just randomly picked `cat` and `find` in OpenBSD and found logic and memory bugs.

Chance of a lifetime for a certain someone to make an actually funny self deprecating joke: "Only losers concede!" But self aware? Not his style.

Running a whole DSP engine, with UI, client side with Wasm? It's more likely than you think. blog.habets.se/2026/04/Rustra…

@OVPN_official if you've decided to stop publishing transparency reports, why does your transparency page say you publish them monthly?

WASM has some rough edges to set up, but once set up I think this unlocks doing more JS projects currently prevented by not wanting to deal with JS.

Services: You keep logging in to weird locations, so we locked your account. Me: I'm sorry my life is more interesting than yours.

Everyone who knows the C implicit type promotion rules put your hand back down no you don't.

@googlecloud why are you sending me "important security information" advisories about React and Next.js? I have never used anything React or Next.js. And the notification details are just "Hey, just so you know, React and Next.js suck, so use cloud armor"? Not "you use it here"

Pretty graph to validate my arctan implementation in RISC-V rvv assembly. Since the 7 coefficient full range version is like 30+ times faster than the native way, I guess the only reason to use the native one is if one simply MUST have ieee754 semantics? Faster still w/ -1 to 1.

@IamKyros69 Look at this MFer who's never even heard of a book.

How did people even learn to code when there was no docs, no YouTube… nothing? Genuinely curious.

The point of the TV show "Too Much" is that overweight people are ugly on the inside, right?

Don't let them tell you "the king is paying for P Andrew now". The king is on the dole. This is YOUR tax money. And the king's unemployment benefit is over £100M a year. YOUR tax money is being donated to P Andrew. And the "P" is not for "Prince".

@IamKyros69 Why, you prefer we use something that's not the best?

Why is everyone in tech using a ThinkPad?

Also they took over when it was going to kill them by going off road. And they took over when they were about to run an immigration check and get shot. Tesla FSD nearly killed them three times, and they call it a success. It also got lost and stuck.

Tesla fan: Sets out to drive autonomous coast to coast. Crashes after 60 miles, needing major repair. It fails to back into a Tesla Supercharger. They say it drove 99% by itself. And then they declare that a victory for Tesla. Wat. 99% was never the hard part. And it crashed.
