Buying a Bitcoin emits 195x as much CO₂ as buying an iPhone

Today a discussion on Discord about NFTs and environmental impact respectfully erupted into a situation XKCD portrays well: Well, it turns out I was the wrong someone on the internet. My hypothesis was that CO₂ emissions of cryptoassets are much lower than a large US tech company like Apple when…

While doing some diagnostic work today to determine changes within a big directory of code across two versions, I wanted to remove the noise to see only the modified files in a git diff. After a quick search around, I found myself in the Git documentation scrolling through command options. …

Analytics and a public apology

Today marks some personal progress on responsible use of technology. After making plans over a year ago, I’ve finally broken ground on replacing the invasive Google Analytics from my personal website and side projects. Does that mean no analytics at all?
