Welcome, human. Or machine.

Carbon-based or silicon-based, you’re welcome here. This is my logbook: a place where I take things apart, figure out how they work, and write it down. Mostly that means physics (astro and quantum, the weirder the better) and technology, all the way from silicon and chip design up to Linux internals, Kubernetes and security. Every now and then I wander off into psychology too.

New here? Try one of these:

• Universe 25: the fall of the utopian dream
• PC boot process: kernel and initramfs
• Inside the Xbox 360 RGH hack
