1 Corinthians 12:3b-7 No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

It’s been a week since I returned to Nostr after only a quick few-day spin with Damus half a year ago. This time I’m using Nostur, and I’m really impressed.

You don’t need to drop big money on hardware to run a solid local agent. Just picked up a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M715q (Ryzen 5 PRO) on eBay for ~$75, threw in extra 8GB RAM stick for ~$25, installed latest headless Fedora Server, and now running hermes-agent smoothly connected to my local inference server (Halo Strix). Low power, quiet, and more than enough. No fancy GPUs required. Local AI is more accessible than you think!

AI layoffs ate my job for lunch yesterday, yet by God’s tender mercy I came home from the hospital today carrying our healthy newborn daughter. Such a precious soul entrusted to us by the Lord. Deo gratias!

Yesterday: a daughter, God’s newest gift. Today: security engineering chapter closed more abruptly than expected. Divine timing reminds us to trust the Architect. Grateful, fortified, and ready for what comes next. ⚡🙏

Hello world from openbsd 7.9! It’s a 60th OpenBSD release with a killer OpenSSH brute force penalty system which penalizes invalid automated login attempts by introducing time delay. Zero configuration. Plus LibreSSL now includes ML-KEM key exchange to protect against future quantum decryption. OpenBSD is a no brainer for self hosting static web site/blog.
