  Nobody cares about privacy policies. Except when they do.

• Is metadata streaming really SEO armageddon?

  I don't like some of these silly Rube Goldberg additions to Next.js either but I do think this one at least works as described.

• Ubuntu 25.04 on a 2014 Macbook Air

  Blog post · Jun 10, 2025

  The old MacBook Air I’d been running k8s on had become a bit problematic. The battery’s gone very bad, and newer versions of macOS have begun to run very poorly on it. After macOS Tahoe, Apple’s ending support for these old Intel Macs completely too. Time to make a change!

  Blog post · May 27, 2025

  A few weeks ago the Swedish government announced a new AI initiative called the Swedish AI Reform. It’s about providing free access to AI tools to Sweden’s non-profit and public sector workers. A decent idea, I thought, and my curiosity led me to click through and scope out the onboarding flow.

• The Week 12 Boycott

  Blog post · Mar 21, 2025

  There’s a nationwide boycott of big supermarket chains this week in Sweden and it’s been great fun. Probably the only downside has been all the tedious opinion pieces criticising it.

• Survival Mode

  Blog post · Mar 14, 2025

  Stopped using Copilot outside of work a few weeks ago. Coding’s begun to feel fun again since making that change. I hadn’t even noticed the disappearance of that joy until it started coming back either.

• Onshoring My DNS

  Blog post · Mar 9, 2025

  I was arsehole deep in American domain name services, I recently noticed. Between Verisign, Tucows and Cloudflare I had rigged my digital identity to blow in the event of any number of increasingly plausible crisis scenarios. I chose to own this mistake and begin the work of fixing it.
