       Chad works with me at [[Fission]]. I’ve been thinking about this a lot in all areas of my life, from work, to community, to family, to individual.

       For me personally, I need to have high alignment between what I’m interested in and what I do for work. So I’ve often created my own work to ensure that alignment.

       This FOSDEM talk on [Domain: a modular Rust DNS toolkit](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2853-domain-a-modular-rust-dns-toolkit/) looks interesting:

       > The "domain" crate is a Rust library that aims to provide a wide range of building blocks that are necessary or useful when building specialised DNS applications.

       +
       > 

     

       15
       +
       > In this talk we will look at the history, current state, and future of the crate and how it differs from other offerings in the Rust ecosystem. We will explore how the crate aims to leverage Rust’s type system to make it easier to model the complexities of the DNS in a straightforward way that helps make it easier to build correct and efficient applications.

       [We’re in the middle of a perfect storm for rollback of the ‘open web’ and burgeoning online surveillance”](https://alecmuffett.com/article/109078) — that’s just the title of Alec Muffet’s post. He details a long list of issues, with everything from politics to lack of digital literacy by both activists and regulators.

       > The average human living today sees more things they don’t care about in one week than a medieval peasant did in their entire lifetime.

       Parasocial media as antidote to AI content:

     

       15
       +
       

     

       16
       +
       > As AI normalizes the idea of human-free content creation, parasocial media merits appreciation: We gravitate toward work that foregrounds its creator because that person is often the ultimate reason we’re interested in the work, directly or indirectly

       Increasingly baroque personal info filter systems:

     

       19
       +
       

     

       20
