Page: Feed: --- ## [My Emacs Agentic Workflow](https://thanosapollo.org/posts/emacs-agentic-workflow/) _2026-08-20 · Thanos Apollo_ Two years ago I was a skeptic about GenAI. Now Emacs has become my agent cockpit. ## [When the Aliens Finally Came to Visit](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/when-the-aliens-came-to-visit) _2026-08-10 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ The aliens arrived, and their first instinct was to check our networks. They accessed one of our most important websites. A government website. Unfortunately, they were met with a reCAPTCHA. Are you a robot? They are not robots. But after fifteen minutes of squinting and trying to select all the fire hydrants and traffic lights, they gave up. Defeated by a checkbox, they returned to the stars. ## [Side Gigs That Go Together Like PB&J](https://kathykristof.substack.com/p/side-gigs-that-go-together-like-pb) _2026-08-06 · Kathy Kristof · SideHusl.com_ ....And an option for medical professionals who want to work from home ## [Why $550 Million Medical Debt only Cost $5.5 Million](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/550-million-only-cost-5-million) _2026-07-26 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ A couple weeks ago, the CEO of Snap was all over the news in the US because he and his wife made a large donation. The weird part about it was that every news outlet that covered it had an acrobatic title where they didn't specifically say how much they donated, yet insisted on that $550 Million amount. When you read the article a bit deeper, you can do the math. They donated one hundredth of that… ## [Deleting Codeberg](https://thanosapollo.org/posts/deleting-codeberg/) _2026-07-26 · Thanos Apollo_ I am deleting my Codeberg presence: accounts, mirrors, the lazy habit of treating a “nice” forge as neutral ground. Not because self-hosting got trendy. Because a slice of FOSS I once assumed still meant free software has turned into purity theater, copyright panic, and harassment of anyone who will not cosplay pre-industrial labor. ## [Have you read it?](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/have-you-read-your-own-article) _2026-07-24 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ I think I finally figured it out. That is, the reason why AI written articles suck: Both the author and I are reading the article for the first time. When an article is insightful I don't even mind the emdashes or that the stark truth is not X, but Y. A good take can transcend even llmism. But then you have questions, and somehow the author doesn't even know what you are talking about, it's simply… ## [Bay Islands Radio, Queensland, AUSTRALIA 5045 kHz](https://vk5pas.org/2026/07/22/bay-islands-radio-queensland-australia-5045-khz/) _2026-07-22 · Paul VK5PAS · VK5PAS_ At about 1111 UTC on the 4th day of July 2026, I tuned in to Bay Islands Radio, Queensland, broadcasting on 5045 kHz.

There is a question I often think about. It often appears as a midlife crisis where I am not sure when I became a man responsible for a family. It looked so easy for my father. It was as if he was born into it. He was a leader, a strong man, one that an entire community could rely on. When does that kick in for me? When do I become this leader? Or have I already become?… ## [Making Luxuries Pay...And Online Therapy](https://kathykristof.substack.com/p/making-luxuries-payand-online-therapy) _2026-06-10 · Kathy Kristof · SideHusl.com_ ....More ways to make money.... ## [Amber Alert sends Spam URL?](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/amber-alert-with-spam-link) _2026-05-26 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ Well that was weird. I just received an Amber Alert and the link led to a spammy looking website. Spam? The link leads to a 3gp file converter which is highly unusual. But the more I look at it, I have the impression it's a mistake. Most likely, they have exceeded the maximum number of characters for the Emergency Service alert. Here is the message: AN AMBER ALERT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED BY THE… ## [Trashie: This Side Gig is Pure Trash](https://kathykristof.substack.com/p/trashie-this-side-gig-is-pure-trash) _2026-05-26 · Kathy Kristof · SideHusl.com_ ....And where to find summer moving gigs; And a newly-reviewed tutoring site ## [It's funny because it's true](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/its-funny-because-its-true) _2026-05-14 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ I made a joke online. Based on Internet upvote points, it was pretty funny. OK, I didn't come up with the joke, but it was a perfectly timed reference. A few days back, Cliff Stoll, of the Klein bottles, submitted a post on hackernews titled: Rumors of my death are slightly exaggerated First of all, I was surprised that Cliff frequents hackernews. Second, I didn't know that he was supposed to be… ## [The Most Emacs Bzr Saga](https://thanosapollo.org/posts/bzr-saga/) _2026-05-12 · Thanos Apollo_ Since I had no interesting books to read today, nor interesting films to watch, I decided to scavenge for the most intriguing content one can find online. I ended up reading the Linux kernel mailing lists, but those discussions seemed to be 18+, so I settled for the comparatively civil emacs-devel. For those unfamiliar, emacs-devel is the primary development discussion list for GNU Emacs –… ## [Set-Your-Own-Pay Side Gigs](https://kathykristof.substack.com/p/set-your-own-pay-side-gigs) _2026-05-06 · Kathy Kristof · SideHusl.com_ ....And a survey site you probably don't want to join ## [Editing my LLM assisted Articles](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/editing-llm-assisted-articles) _2026-05-02 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ Last year, I used AI to help me write articles. As I've mentioned before , it's convenient when you are doing so because it saves you time. But the problem comes up when you try to quote those articles back. Whatever you think you wrote is not what's in there. I always cringe when I read them back. As I've said before, I'm rewriting those articles so that they capture my voice, and so that I can… ## [The Satisfaction of a ChatGPT Plan](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/the-satisfaction-of-a-chatgpt-plan) _2026-04-25 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ #NoFollowUpNecessary A couple weeks back, I was arguing that when people come up with ideas, the satisfaction is in the telling , not in building. And I was making this statement generally for idea sharing. But then, I also mentioned that people share their "ChatGPT plan" with me now. Rather than sharing the idea, they share the business plan on how to achieve the idea, entirely generated by AI.… ## [Making Money on Two Wheels With Bike Delivery](https://kathykristof.substack.com/p/making-money-on-two-wheels-with-bike) _2026-04-23 · Kathy Kristof · SideHusl.com_ ....And a short video about one of our favorite side gigs--Rare Patient Voice ## [Refer a Friend, Earn Rewards (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/p2oIJ1decdCp) _2026-04-23 · **Sponsored**_ Earn rewards when a friend signs up for the Graphite Business Card ## [Side Gigs for Early Risers...And a Newly-Reviewed Delivery site](https://kathykristof.substack.com/p/side-gigs-for-early-risersand-a-newly) _2026-04-16 · Kathy Kristof · SideHusl.com_ ....And a short video about Outschool, a great place to teach online ## [Your AWS Certification Makes You an AWS Salesman](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/we-are-aws-salesmen) _2026-04-12 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ I must have been the last developer still confused by the AWS interface. I knew how to access DynamoDB, that was the only tool I needed for my daily work. But everything else was a mystery. How do I access web hosting? If I needed a small server to host a static website, what service would I use? Searching for "web hosting" inside the AWS console yielded nothing. After digging through the web, I… ## [Bringing jabber.el Back From the Dead](https://thanosapollo.org/posts/emacs-jabber-revival/) _2026-04-04 · Thanos Apollo_ jabber.el is an XMPP client for Emacs, originally written in 2003. Development slowed over the years, though contributors kept the package working across Emacs releases. I took over as maintainer with the goal of modernizing the protocol support. Now, jabber.el is the most XEP-complete text-based client in existence. ## [Gnosis 0.10: Import Anki, Merge Everything Into One](https://thanosapollo.org/posts/gnosis-8-to-10/) _2026-04-04 · Thanos Apollo_ You can now import Anki decks into gnosis.

It wasn't intentional, maybe more of a reflection of my mindset. When I decide to do something, I shut off my brain and just do it. This was a commitment I made without thinking about the long-term effects. I knew writing was hard, but I didn't know how hard. I knew that maintaining a server was hard, but I didn't know the stress it would… ## [How we get radicalized in America](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/how-to-get-radicalized-in-america) _2026-03-26 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ Be healthy, be young, fall ill. You have a great job of course, you have insurance. It would be ok if the worst thing about health insurance in America was it is hard to navigate. No! The actual problem is that your insurance is incentivized not to cover you at your most vulnerable moment. You pay them every month. That's money that goes from your paycheck, into their pockets. Now if they cover… ## [People Person?

They can teleport from inside their ship to somewhere on a planet. This way, the ship can remain in orbit while its crew explores the surface. But then people started asking: how does the teleportation device actually work? When a subject stands on the device and activates it, does it disassemble all the atoms of the person… ## [You Digg?](https://idiallo.com/byte-size/digg-is-gone-again) _2026-03-14 · Ibrahim Diallo @dialloibu · Byte-Size Blog - iDiallo.com_ For me, being part of an online community started with Digg. Digg was the precursor to Reddit and the place to be on the internet. I never got a MySpace account, I was late to the Facebook game, but I was on Digg. When Digg redesigned their website (V4), it felt like a slap in the face. We didn't like the new design, but the community had no say in the direction. To make it worse, they removed the… ## [2026 so far.

One is the main PHP blog engine that handles the logic and the database, while the other serves all static files. Many years ago, an article I wrote reached the top position on both Hacker News and Reddit. My server couldn't handle the traffic . I literally had a terminal window open, monitoring the CPU and restarting the server every couple of minutes.

My best bet was finding the work of Migne’s Patrologia Graeca but almost no free sources have the original Greek text in proper condition. ## [SimonMed](http://www.peterbelanger.com/blog/2025/11/fellow-clyde-electric-kettle-2ggmy-nprhc) _2026-03-02 · Peter Belanger · Studio Notes - Peter Belanger_ I worked with SimonMed to capture their cutting-edge facility for their upcoming marketing campaigns. We shot over two days on the weekend while the facility was closed, which gave us uninterrupted access to each of the rooms. I wanted to keep the lighting simple so I could move quickly and keep things more spontaneous. I would normally reach for strobes, but they wouldn't give me the color… ## [Gnosis 0.7.0 Release Notes](https://thanosapollo.org/posts/gnosis-version-0-7-0/) _2026-02-22 · Thanos Apollo_ I’ve finally published Gnosis version 0.7.0 that brings some much needed changes and integration with org-gnosis .
