I've just been told that John Young of Cryptome.org passed away last week. #Cryptome was foundational, and a predecessor to organizations like @ddosecrets.com and #Wikileaks. RIP, John.

Unfortunately, I think years of dogmatic attitudes in some corners of science along the lines of ‘RCT is the only trustworthy form of evidence’ etc. have helped make space for flawed arguments like the below: www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Today is my last day at Docker. I really appreciated the opportunity to work with the people there, and I certainly learned a lot. I'll be looking for a role that sponsors non-US visas next. If you have any leads that I could be a good fit for, holler at your goose! DMs are open 💕

New nighttime nights layer! This shows nighttime lights data from NASA's "black marble" dataset collected by the Suomi NPP satellite. The data is from 2023. It should be handy for identifying unmapped power infrastructure. It also looks cool. https://openinframap.org/#2.57/40.39/5.63/N

Do you have a horrible legacy system no one understands? Do you need someone who can just get on with fixing things without causing downtime? If yes please hire me, I got laid off because I fixed things so much they thought they could get away with not having me any more.
