It’s been a bit since I’ve written an update on the cryptic nebula project,
almost 5 months (since this post, which wasn’t officially part of the
blog series but whatever). Since then it’s switched names to “cryptic-net”, and

Finally I have a syntax for ginger that I’m happy with. This has actually been a
huge roadblock for me up till this point. There’s a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg
problem with the syntax: without pinning down the structures underlying the
syntax it’s difficult to develop one, but …

Radix is a Go driver for the Redis database. The current stable release
is v3, the docs for which can be found here. Over the past year
(perhaps longer) I’ve been working on a new version, v4, with the aim of
addressing some of the shortcomings of v3 and distilling the API a bit …

In this post I will be documenting all security hoops that one must jump through

virtual private server (VPS) somewhere else.
After some research I chose Vultr as my VPS of choice. They apparently
don’t block you fr…

For a long time now I’ve wanted to get off gmail and host my own email
domains. I’ve looked into it a few times, but have been discouraged on multiple
fronts:
Understanding the protocols underlying email isn’t straightforward; it’s an
old system, there’s a lot of cruft, l…

This visualization is a conglomeration of ideas from all the previous ones. On
each tick up to 20 new pixels are generated. The color of each new pixel is
