Gary Bernhardt re-wrote an email by Linus Torvalds in a way that made it less insulting. Both the result and how he got there is a very readable and nice. Highly recommended: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog/2018/a-case-study-in-not-being-a-jerk-in-open-source

"City of Anarchy": A high resolution schematic of Kowloon Walled City by Adolfo Arranz for SCMP

#offlineimap is driving me crazy. How hard can it be to automatically delete old emails on the remote side?
This Fernbus WiFi gives me great motivation to learn how to direct all my traffic trough my personal VPN; Blocked pages and PITM certificates are annoying.
