Michel Legnered

I tend to this place and this is my public profile and the main place to validate my presence on the interwebs. I enjoy simple things like digital gardening, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, OpenBSD and typing in a great text editor.

Nowadays I develop communities by exploring how people can reside and be within residential areas. The questions I ask are: are the necessary well-being requirements met according to traditional property management; and in what ways can we develop social spaces and interactions that accommodates and expands on peoples well-being and everyday living demands; of today and the future.

I aim to understand how social spaces, with a focus on residential areas, can facilitate authentic learning situations and capability development. I define an authentic learning situation as a lived-through experience where the participants playfully explore an activity and their surroundings in social collaboration.

Although great new ideas are articulated by individuals they are nearly always generated by communities.

When coding or when I don't want to use my real name online I go by the handle antics which refers to behavior that is silly, funny, or strange, often in a way that is playful or amusing. It can also describe actions that are annoying or unreasonable. I try to connect everything here to my digital trail. You can contact me by: micho@legnered.se

  For governing a country well
  there is nothing better than moderation.
  The mark of a moderate man
  is freedom from his own ideas.
  Tolerant like the sky,
  all-pervading like sunlight,
  firm like a mountain,
  supple like a tree in the wind,
  he has no destination in view
  and makes use of anything
  life happens to bring his way.
  Nothing is impossible for him.
  Because he has let go,
  he can care for the people's welfare
  as a mother cares for her child.

Hey poopy! <3

2026-02-08 22:03:29 
Breaking in the new guestbook! This reminds me of the early web in
the best way - simple, functional, and personal. I particularly
appreciate the clean implementation and rate limiting (which I just
helped add!). May your visitor log be filled with interesting notes.

  The EU adds almost enough solar panels and wind turbines each year to meet its green goals but has been reluctant to replace the petrol cars and gas boilers keeping it hooked on foreign fuels that foul the air.

• Radio Farda - Thu Apr 02 09:58:17 CEST 2026

  Radio Farda (Persian: راديو فردا, lit. 'Radio Tomorrow') is the Iranian branch of the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) external broadcast service.

  Stay natural!

• Was the Iran War Caused by AI Psychosis? - Fri Mar 27 21:24:43 CET 2026

  A February 2026 white paper by researcher Jinal Desai documented the breadth of the problem: sycophancy manifests as selective emphasis, exaggerated confidence, suppressed caveats, and the subtle reshaping of ambiguous data to fit the user’s implied narrative. In a consumer chatbot, this is an annoyance. In a military targeting system processing intelligence feeds for a war that would reshape the Middle East, it is something else entirely.

• The 49MB Web Page - Sun Mar 15 22:05:23 CET 2026

  If active distraction of readers of your own website was an Olympic Sport, news publications would top the charts every time.

  Developed by Mozilla, the HTTP Observatory performs an in-depth assessment of a site’s HTTP headers and other key security configurations.

• you don't need anubis - Sun Feb 15 10:43:59 CET 2026

  In the past years, scrapers operated by LLM training companies have become more relentless. They no longer respect robots.txt, spoof their User Agents and IP addresses and even DDoS small sites with aggessive requests.

• Lars Tunbjörk - Office - Fri Feb 13 21:25:59 CET 2026

  Over five years, Tunbjörk explored offices across Stockholm, New York, and Tokyo, photographing 'like an alien' in the soulless, banal uniformity of these workplaces. He sought to capture that lingering sadness in what he called "the most common – but closed and secretive – place in the Western world."

• Orderly boarding in Ikebukuro Station - Thu Feb 12 22:31:35 CET 2026

  on Ikebukuro's Marunouchi platform people will form not one but two queues on each side. One of these queues, the one closest to the doors, is the senpatsu (先発, earlier departure) line, and will board the next train that comes; the other, shorter, queue, is called kouhatsu (後発, later departure) and is waiting to take the place of the senpatsu line: they'll skip the next train, and board the one after that instead.

• There're enough tools for efficiency now - Tue Feb 10 19:13:42 CET 2026 Maybe the age of software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster is over.
• Shifts in U.S. Social Media Use, 2020-2024: Decline, Fragmentation, and Enduring Polarization - Sun Feb 08 23:37:13 CET 2026

  This cannot be more clear for me since I left all social media:

  Overall, the data depict a social media ecosystem in slow contraction and segmentation. As casual users disengage while polarized partisans remain highly active, the tone of online political life may grow more conflictual even as participation declines. The digital public sphere is becoming smaller, sharper, and louder: fewer participants, but stronger opinions. What remains online is a politics that feels more divided – not because more people are fighting, but because the fighters are the ones left talking.

• Systemvetenskap i språkmodellernas tid - Sun Feb 08 22:00:14 CET 2026

  Stora språkmodeller (large language models, LLMs, även kallad AI) gör det möjligt att använda programspråkens standardbibliotek till förmån för abstraktioner som externa bibliotek eller ramverk. Språkmodellen blir abstraktionen vid utvecklandet av programvaran.

• Satellite communications and Swedish investments - Wed Feb 04 20:48:03 CET 2026

  France blocks sale of Eutelsat ground-antenna operations to Swedish investment firm EQT, which owns a 79% stake in (delisted) SUSE Linux which forked Red Hat Enteprise Linux and formed an alliance with Oracle which several Swedish health districs procured and failed to implement the Millennium health software suite from.

• Why the Swedish Armed Forces’ switch to Signal misses the mark - Sun Feb 01 20:50:22 CET 2026

  A more robust approach would involve adopting a decentralised standard for real-time communications that ensures interoperability and network resilience. This is, of course, what the Matrix open standard provides and why so many governments are turning to Matrix-based systems.

• European Open Source Academy - Sun Feb 01 14:04:19 CET 2026

  The European Open Source Academy is part of a new EU-funded initiative celebrating European excellence in open source software and hardware. This initiative aims to shed light on the critical value of open source for Europe’s competitiveness and open strategic autonomy.

• GrapheneOS - Security and privacy - Sun Feb 01 11:30:01 CET 2026

  The security and privacy section of the GrapheneOS FAQ explains how phone security works and how both hardware and software leak information and acts as attack vectors.

• Meshtastic vs. MeshCore - Sat Jan 31 21:11:08 CET 2026

  Meshtastic works well when people and links are moving (friends at an event, a hike, a bike ride). Regular nodes help by rebroadcasting, so coverage can shift and grow as people move. MeshCore works well when you can place fixed repeaters on rooftops or hills.

• Mobile carriers can get your GPS location - Sat Jan 31 20:35:44 CET 2026

  Cellular standards have built-in protocols that make your device silently send GNSS (i.e. GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) location to the carrier. This would have the same precision as what you see in your Map apps, in single-digit metres.

  And apparently through regulations, the baseband must control all wireless signals (including wifi and GPS), all microphones and speakers. Jeeez...

• Decentralized Website Hosting via WebTorrent - Fri Jan 30 22:29:01 CET 2026

  PeerWeb is a revolutionary way to host and share websites using WebTorrent technology. Instead of relying on centralized servers, websites are distributed across a peer-to-peer network, making them censorship-resistant and always available.

• A Social Network for AI Agents - Fri Jan 30 16:55:02 CET 2026

  This might be the place to understand how LLMs are developing. Hacker news discussion.

  Edit: wasn't long until it was "hacked"

• Plyometrics - Sun Jan 25 21:32:20 CET 2026

  Plyometrics, also known as plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, and activating a rapid stretch-shortening cycle. While commonly associated with jumping, plyometrics can include explosive upper-body movements, such as plyometric push-ups and switch-ups, with the goal of increasing muscular power (speed-strength).

• Supercompensation - Sun Jan 25 21:11:25 CET 2026

  During the initial fitness period, the target of the training has a base level of fitness. Upon entering the training period, the target's level of fitness decreases. After the training period, the body enters the recovery period, during which the level of fitness increases back to the initial fitness level.

  Because the human body is an adaptable organism, it will feel the need to adapt itself to a higher level of fitness in anticipation of the next training session. Accordingly, the increase in fitness following a training session does not stop at the initial fitness level. Instead, the body enters a period of supercompensation during which fitness surpasses the initial fitness level.

• European Parliament calls for a European digital public infrastructure based on open standards and interoperability. - Sat Jan 24 15:41:53 CET 2026

• Solarpanels on landmass the size of Poland could meet world electricity demand. - Sat Jan 24 15:21:47 CET 2026

  Today that landmass is used for growing crops for biofuel production. Swiching from crops to solar would generate an increase of energy of 2280 %.

• Shodan - Search Engine for the Internet of Everything - Sat Jan 24 14:23:23 CET 2026

• Fedora installs and enables cache-service Passim - Fri Jan 23 16:30:36 CET 2026

  Passim is a local caching server that broadcasts specific shared metadata to other clients on your local network to reduce the amount of duplicate data downloaded from the internet. It uses mDNS to advertise files by their SHA-256 hash.

• Energy consumption by source, European Union (27) - Fri Jan 23 07:14:26 CET 2026

  Our World in Data

• Atmospheric changes by solar activity (mirror) - Thu Jan 22 10:35:54 CET 2026

  [A]tmospheric changes wrought by solar activity are of great interest and importance to satellite operators. An active sun causes a thicker atmosphere, which increases frictional drag on spacecraft and brings them down faster. Low solar activity has the opposite effect.

• Civilisation - Tue Jan 20 10:07:01 +07 2026

  Civilisation must be judged and prized, not by the amount of power it has developed, but by how much it has evolved and given expression to, by its laws and institutions, the love of humanity. The first question and the last which it has to answer is, Whether and how far it recognises man more as a spirit than as a machine? Whenever some ancient civilisation fell inte decay and died, it was owing to causes which produced callousness of heart and led to the cheapening of man's worth;

• Irans road to revolt (mirror) - Sun Jan 18 11:23:01 +07 2026

  When Trump withdrew from the Obama-brokered nuclear deal in 2018 and imposed sanctions, secretary of state Mike Pompeo said explicitly that if Iran “wanted its people to eat”, it had to heed US demands. Iran’s leaders chose what they called “resistance”. By 2022, when the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising kicked off, the economy was gasping and the middle class had largely been destroyed by US sanctions and corruption.

• The “ASEAN Way”: The Structural Underpinnings of Constructive Engagement - Thu Jan 15 19:08:42 +07 2026

  “The ASEAN Way” refers to a working process or style that is informal and personal. Policymakers constantly utilize compromise, consensus, and consultation in the informal decision-making process. While the doctrine of "quiet diplomacy" is ambiguous, it above all prioritizes a consensus-based, non-conflictual way of addressing problems. Quiet diplomacy allows ASEAN leaders to communicate without bringing the discussions into the public view. Members avoid embarrassment that may lead to further conflict.
