War dreams of itself.
I wish I didn’t write a book so relevant.
Wasted Blood: From War, Poetry
A collection of poems by Josh Datko.
I performed a live stichomancy reading today. It’s at the 49 minute mark.
Legally, I must say I am not a licensed stichomancer.

I have not found a nicer community than on Substack.
Nostr, for what it is, is great. And yes, Substack is a giant tech community.
But there are many people there discussing literature, from the classics, to modern novels, to poetry.
If you want to get back into reading hard books that will challenge you, this is the place. You can start with mine:
How do you play a bugle call for a military funeral in a book?
When the ink bleeds

This one photo is a collection of The Bloody Sonnets in various media.
On the left is the 1952 edition with its Soviet introduction, claiming the imperialists want war. The other book is the 2018 English version by John Minahane, which keeps them as English sonnets.
Then there is some pamphlets from the two-woman play produced last year by the Bratislava based theatre D.P.O.H.
And now in 2026, we have a new cassette. 😊
While you are waiting for the book, I still have the translations posted.
This one is my favorite and you can see me use a scythe: 
The Bloody Sonnets #16
Adaptation of Krvavé sonety.
12 CVEs found in OpenSSL by an AI tool.
Damn.
OpenSSL is some of the most audited code, and there was some nasty zero days found.
I wonder if they turn this onto bitcoin core what will they find.

What AI Security Research Looks Like When It Works
What a year of finding zero-days in OpenSSL, curl, and the Linux kernel taught us about AI-driven security research done right.
Bitpunk.fm 3.1 is now available!
They exist. 🥳
I talked with @No Good Kid this morning and we are happy with them!
The books are in Europe, I have the red cassettes, soon they will meet and I will get them shipped out.
Thank you for all those that preordered! In the spirit of keeping things analog, I am only accepting orders via post, which is still available.
A digital version, including audio, will be made available once the analog ones have been enjoyed.
I will be in the EU in March and can send some maybe with Paketa when I get there.
Welcome, Wasted Blood

Here’s a preview of the audio that comes as a red cassette for Wasted Blood.
If you are in the EU and want a physical copy, let me know! Maybe we can prevent shipping over the ocean twice.

I played in a live blues band on Monday. My first time playing in a band since 30 years and my first time with an improv solo.
I wrote up my experience here:
