a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy...

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩 Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

On Saturday, I sat in a crowded ballroom at Caesar's Forum in Vegas and watched @sickcodes jailbreak a John Deere tractor's control unit live, before an audience of cheering @Defcon 30 attendees (and, possibly, a few undercover Deere execs, who often attend Sickcodes's talks). 1/
