Portable monitors are good
My job has me travel a lot. When I'm in my office I normally have a seven monitor battlestation like this: [image or embed]— Xe (@xeiaso.net) January 26, 2026 at 11:34 PM So as you can imagine, travel sucks for me because I just constantly run out of screen space. This can be worked around, I minimize things more, I just close them, but you know what is better? Just having another screen. On a whim, I picked up this 15.6" Innoview portable monitor off of Amazon. It's...
Life Update: On medical leave
Hey all, I hope you're doing well. I'm going to be on medical leave until early April. If you are a sponsor, then you can join the Discord for me to post occasional updates in real time. I'm gonna be in the hospital for at least a week as of the day of this post. I have a bunch of things queued up both at work and on this blog. Please do share them when you see them cross your feeds, I hope that they'll be as useful as my posts normally are. I'm under a fair bit of stress leading...
Anubis v1.25.0: Necron
Hey all, I'm sure you've all been aware that things have been slowing down a little with Anubis development, and I want to apologize for that.

There are things going on behind the scenes, but nothing is really shippable yet, sorry! I've also been feeling some burnout in the wake of per...
The Discourse has been Automated
I thought that 2025 was weird and didn't think it could get much weirder. 2026 is really delivering in the weirdness department. An AI agent opened a PR to matplotlib with a trivial performance optimization, a maintainer closed it for being made by an autonomous AI agent, so the AI agent made a callout blogpost accusing the matplotlib team of gatekeeping. This provoked many reactions: AoiWhat. Why? How? What? Are we really at the point where AI agents make callout blogpos...
Matrix ain't it chief
Hey all, in light of Discord deciding that assuming everyone is a teenager until proven otherwise, I've seen many people advocate for the use of Matrix instead. I don't have the time or energy to write a full rebuttal right now, but Matrix ain't it chief. If you have an existing highly technical community that can deal with the weird mental model leaps it's fine-ish, but the second you get anyone close to normal involved it's gonna go pear-shaped quickly. Personally, I'm taking a...
