Apparently airline travel bookings from Canada to the US for summer travel are down 75% over this time last year.

You read that right. Seventy-five percent. That's just shy of a million bookings:

March 2024: 1,218,570 bookings
March 2025: 295,982 bookings

Imagine what Elon could have done for trans rights with all his money and power, if he loved his daughter.

It should honestly be called "vape coding," not "vibe coding."

Should I be happy that it's Signal and not Slack?

I should probably gatecrash the lsfmmbpf summit, since it's in Montreal this year. Might head that way on Wednesday.

Welp, election is upon us. I promise that I will do my best to remember to put it under the CW.

The riding I'm in votes 70-80% Liberal, so I can vote for whoever I like, but this year I might vote Liberal anyway, just as an FU to Poillievre.

When you send a dad joke online, its speed of transmission is measured in special units called "dad-bauds."

New pet peeve -- when people treat email as text messages. I don't want to receive 4 messages from you, each one sentence long.

I'm aware of Anubis and I'm afraid proof-of-work intermediaries are going to become the only way to deal with bots.

However, I don't like Anubis's general approach. I would prefer to have something built into varnish with some more logic that allows for more nuance. If there is a local cached page, allow the request. If there isn't, but the load/RAM usage is low, let the request through. If the load is high or if we're seeing lots of 503's, only then require proof-of-work.

In good news, I figured out what needed to happen so we don't share the same /64 with all other Linode systems in the same datacentre, which gets @spamhaus off our back.

I know I haven't been able to work on b4 and other tooling as much as I was hoping, but between the Equinix exodus, having to continuously mitigate against LLM bot DDoS'ing our infra, and just general geopolitical sh*t that lives rent-free in my head... it's been difficult. But I have high hopes and lots of good ideas -- that's got to count for something, right?
