Younger Men in the U.S. Among the Loneliest in West
Benedict Vigers,  Senior Global News Writer  -  The Gallup Organization

_Stephan: The World Happiness Index tells us the United States has a very unhappy population compared to the other developed democracies of the world. And, as this Gallup Organization report further details men, particularly young men, are uniquely lonely. Reading this study, I found it very strange since growing up, I don’t ever remember being lonely. … ⌘ Read more

What’s your go-to message queue in 2025?

The space is confusing to say the least.

Message queues are usually a core part of any distributed architecture, and the options are endless:
Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis {Pub-Sub, Streams}, Cloud Providers {AWS SQS, Kinesis; Google Pub/Sub; Azure Event Hubs, Service Bus}, Pulsar, ZeroMQ… and then there’s the “just use Postgres” camp for simpler use cases.

I’m trying to make sense of the tradeoffs between:

When I chose the MIT license for all of my software, I thought:

“Should I use GPL, which I don’t really understand? Is that worth it? Yeah, there is a theoretical possibility that some company might use my code in their proprietary product … and then what? Should I sue them to enforce the GPL? I’m not going to do that anyway, so I’ll just use the MIT license.”

And now we have those LLM scrapers and now it’s suddenly a reality that these companies (ab)use my code. I can see it in my logs. I didn’t expect that back then.

GPL wouldn’t help, either, of course. (Regardless, I now think that GPL would have been the better choice anyway.)

I’m honestly considering taking my code and website offline. Maybe make it accessible through some obscure protocol like Gopher or Gemini, but no more HTTP.

(Yes, Anubis might help. Temporarily.)

I’m just tired.
