Internet Highlights - 2025-11-30
Last Updated: 2025-11-30 06:00:00 -0600
It’s not the most pressing thing in the backlog, but it’s time again for the monthly post of what has struck me as interesting from around the internet. Since we’re not starting off in the middle of the month like last time, this month is a bit more robust:
- John Scalzi uses himself as a guinea pig to evaluate Elon Musk’s Enshittified Wiki
- He Chunhi introduces an ESP32-based 386 Emulator
- OSHW squad Solder Party introduce a silicone bubble keyboard design for compact projects
- Soatok Dreamseaker highlights the problems in, and provides a solution to, a popular NPM crypto-primitives module
- Clickspring releases another episode of their long-running Antikithera Mechanism build
- Hamish Campbell expands on the need for a truly open internet, like a good hacker should
- A French ICC Judge is basically an unperson because the US is having a hissy fit
- People who know what they are talking about decry outdated “opsec” advice
- A fellow Mad Scientist decries defeatist attitudes in the war to cripple AI
- A homebrew 6502 front-panel hobby computer, of less yore than you’d expect
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to burn even more hours in Vintage Story in an effort to stay halfway sane after a particularly maddening week, because nothing makes your Reliability Engineering woes go away like fighting for your simple survival when a bear has decided your dooryard makes as good a winter haunt as any.
