cyberlimerence — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:19:22 +0000

Beautiful work, I love fantasy cartography. Someday I actually want to make some maps of my own, I was thinking of ASOIAF. A slightly off-topic question, are these types of maps legal to sell from copyright point of view? I understand that this is quite a niche product, so maybe I'm overthinking it, but do these count as derivative works ?

Even having one instance running should have been immediate whole of NASA five fire alarm type of situation.

Of course, the technical term for that setup is 'catch all', you can set this up with your email provider. You can send your email to "ghywertelling@gregegan.net", for example.

New comment by cyberlimerence in "How Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain"

It's correct in English. [1] The family of Thomas Mann were representatives of German bourgeoisie. From [2] (machine translated): "Thomas Mann and Heinrich Mann, as well as members of the following generation, became writers; in their numerous, often autobiographically influenced literary works, they explored themes such as the history of the German bourgeoisie and educated middle class, as well as its decadence. Through this, the family itself came to be seen by the public as a symbol and late representative of that very social stratum."

Reads like something out of Philip K. Dick’s writing. Fridges with ads. Talking doors.

I wouldn’t associate anything Meta does with the word 'design'. Instagram’s UI changes every two months for no good reason, and now there’s a big, ugly, and completely useless 'Ask Meta AI' button in WhatsApp, right under your thumb. Maybe we’ll even get some liquid glass effects next.

They did, but the goalposts keep moving, so to speak. We're approximately here : advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, reusable rockets, quantum computing, etc. Chinese will never catch up. /s

It's MIT-licensed, so you can fork and strip the images. It's more of a request than a demand.

I never said it would be easy, but if they really want it, it should be possible. Airbus, for example, is a pan-European entity, build up of French, German and Spanish companies which preceded it.

Realistically all the European mini-clouds like OVH, Scaleway, Hetzner, etc should collaborate and field some pan-European offering, similar to the American/Chinese mega clouds. And EU Commission, or whatever, should invest in the name of strategic competition.

New comment by cyberlimerence in "A blog does not need “analytics”"

cyberlimerence — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 13:11:05 +0000

As long as you're not funneling this data to the Big Tech/Big Cloud/Big Ads, possibly self hosting and partially anonymizing data, and using it for personal purposes, I feel like it's fine. Web is lonely, so watching numbers go up and seeing that, for example, your writing is being read around the world can be a huge motivator to continue creating.
