2023. November 28: The Atlantic publishes expose of Substack, citing their “nazi problem.” December 21: Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie says nazis are welcome because he’s too fucking stupid to equate nazism with violence. Quote: “We don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away. Our content guidelines do have narrowly defined proscriptions, including a clause that prohibits incitements to violence.”

2025. July 28: Substack’s mobile app sends push notification promoting the nazi publication NatSocToday. July 28: Substack apologizes for glitch, but not for platforming nazis. Quote: “We have taken the relevant system offline, diagnosed the issue, and are making changes to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”

2026. February 6, 2026: Substack is still platforming nazis. Including NatSocToday. Screenshot of a terminal command and results, showing that the nazi site is live as of February 6, 2026 at 6:56 GMT.

A reminder, so people don’t forget. Substack unabashedly platforms and promotes literal Nazi publications.

If you publish on Substack or support authors there, you are paying rent for nazis. It’s that simple.

Refuse to support authors there, and they will move.

FreeBSD 13.5-STABLE seems to work perfectly on this 2012 Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB RAM), so much better than that Raspberry Debian trixie version that I am close to trying to measure the speed of the SD card I used.

A square marble tile with a shiny metal ball on it next to some papers and a coffee mug.

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

Dug out some half-finished near 10y old small PHP project yesterday and rewrote it between chores.

Still kinda nice to just be editing a file live on the (web) server in vim if it's just for fun and when you're finished it's already deployed.

But just now I am noticing how verbose (or maybe fairer: not terse) some syntax constructs are compared to many languages I only learned later.

After reading https://www.terrygodier.com/phantom-obligation/ascii I'm now not sure if I want a fedi client that works like most email clients, with a folder pane on the left and I can move posts/threads to somewhere.

The release of the Apple Watch was closer to World War 2 than to World War 1.

I think every idea of type safety usually breaks down whenever you're trying to convert from something with an optional X field to something with a non-optional X field, which means every piece of software.

@mrls Not sure if intentional but your blog feed url seems to have changed from /index.xml - maybe worth a redirect

Ever driven the same car or used the same camera or power drill for 8-10 years and thought: "I wish all these buttons and levers were suddenly in different places and did different things"?

Yeah. Me neither.

This is a toot about operating systems.
