I ran out of characters for microblogging so this is where the big words go
No, Cloudflare's Matrix server isn't an earnest project Yesterday, 2026-01-27, Cloudflare published a blog post announcing that they had built a Matrix homeserver that could run entirely on Cloudflare workers. This sounds amazing! Finally, serverless edge-computing for my chat protocol. In theory this brings great benefits, given Cloudflare's dominant global presence. It could even improve access,…
Continuwuity Postmortem On 2025-12-21, an zero-day vulnerability was exploited against the [continuwuity] Matrix rooms. This included all of our community rooms, including the space, main room, offtopic room, development room, BSD suport room, announcements room, git notifications room, and worst of all, our minecraft room. All of our communal rooms were left in tatters with only some damn lucky…
Where do we go from here? I've gone back and forth on making this blog post for probably a few months now. This isn't the sort of thing I take pride in making really, usually I prefer to make things that are upbeat and have a positive impact. But more and more lately, I've really just been asking myself that one simple question. Where do we go from here?
How I hacked my washing machine If you've known me for some amount of time you knew this was something that was bound to happen eventually. Yesterday (and technically today), me and a friend went on an endeavor to hack our washing machine, partially for the fun of it, and partially because there's actually a practical use for it.
Where I've been As is to be expected, I did the thing every aspiring blog writer does and started a blog page, only to write three posts and then never touch it again. Truth is, I've been itching to write more, but I both haven't had the time, and everything that I wanted to write about ended up not being worthy of its own entry. Plus, almost all of it has been Matrix-related, and I want my blog…
New Infrastructure Hello reader, welcome to 2025! I've heard the saying 'new year, new me' before, but quite frankly, I feel like 'new year, new devops solution to a simple bash script' is more fitting. This is just a short blog post to explain how this blog is actually hosted! Very meta.
My experience on Matrix I have been using [Matrix] for a long time now (over a few years), and have gone from simply using it as a way to chat to friends while in school, to being in hundreds of rooms, talking to anyone and everyone, and even writing bots for it. In this post today, I'm going to summarise my experience on Matrix, what it is, the pros and cons of it, and what I think the future…
Vir{m,g}in Media - a tale Virgin Media (or Virmin Media), one of the world's worst internet service providers I have used so far. Read on to find out my experience with them, and the lengths I have had to go to in order to get a basic level of support as a long time paying customer.

A(nother) new site Well, the time has come. I have for months, possibly even over a year, been putting off the creation of creating a blog. In this time, I have tried many different attempts, but in the end none of them ever stuck. I've tried using some cool projects like Writefreely, some projects friends have made, and even writing my own blog engine. But finally, I have settled on using mkdocs…
