The world according to a half-charred and hollowed out survivor of the Tokyo firebombings that is actually the most compelling site at Sensoji but no one pays any notice because it has been relegated to the smoking area seeing as humans are inherent dicks. Pretty though.

Good news everyone! We hit our first milestone: maintenance is 100% funded. Thank you all ❤️

Next up: unlock the stretch goal to co‑design federated groups: community‑owned spaces to organise across the fediverse, with no server or platform lock‑in.

Read about why this matters and how it can […]

We don't have any green public space in town anymore, but at least, we have the most beautiful sports arena in the world (I have yet to enter it) .🤷‍♂️

What a end of week. My coworker is in panic mode (I can't give details for privacy reason, but it's quite surreal how bad it is - and has been since the beginning, we're just finding out now). I come here to relax and one of the main "French influencers of the Fediverse" has apparently started a […]

There is something seriously wrong when a city experiences one of the most devasting fires ever, with possible causes being contributed to by corruption and tofu-dreg style corner cutting. And yet the authorities threaten those who are documenting and sharing things relating to the fire on […]

I haven't posted a #crowupdate in a while. It's the least eventful autumn for the #crows since I've met them (this is a good thing). The only piece of news is that Kiddo is finally gone to live its adult life (I think s/he showed up once in a month). So here […]

It's "interesting" how the center-left has betrayed all it stood for in many Western countries in recent years. The US was decades ago, but France too in the 2010s, and now it's the turn of Canada and the UK. Am I forgetting some countries?

I'm not sure why this pattern.

I plead guilty. I pretty much never talked about Linux during the first 52 years of my life, and I talked about it a few dozen times this year.

(and more and more of my computers at home run on Linux, will I reach 100% in 2026?)

(also, I […]

Dear university, I really appreciate that you're informing me that the computerized system will be down on Monday from 9pm to 11pm but there was no need, really.

I arrive in my office. I'm slowly getting ready to start the day, when suddenly the horror!!!

I have no coffee left!!!

It means I have to go back outside, in the cold and the wind to go buy some. And what if the uni co-op is not open yet? Does it mean I need to walk to the konbini? An extra 50 […]

And if you haven't read Arcadia, you really should do it.
It's one of the books that made me realize the power of literature.

And yes, especially you tech people who only care about escapist fantasy, you should read it.

In some countries, winter arrives little by little, with temperatures dropping degree by degree. Not in my part of Japan. In my part of Japan, it's all nice, it's still feel unseasonably warm, until one day, the crazy strong winds from Siberia or somewhere around there bring winter in a few […]

So, I just bought my second Raspberry Pi. The first one was one with keyboard to use in class (with projector). This one will be for a home server or something like this (not sure if it'll be connected to the web - I'd like to, but I don't know anything about security and I'm afraid to mess up - […]

Okay, people. Roblox, yeah or nay?

My son and his friend are begging me to let my son sign up, but while I don't know much about it, it sounds like it's not a good place.

Sometimes I think about the fact that an individual (or a small group of individuals) actually invented the wheel, or agriculture, or melting metal to make objects with it, etc and it's one of the most mind-blowing thing...
