Jack Baty Daily https://daily.baty.net Daily notes from Jack about everything Where is Jack lately? https://daily.baty.net/2026/04/17/where-is-jack-lately/ https://daily.baty.net/2026/04/17/where-is-jack-lately/ Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:03:10 GMT So, I have successfully converted baty.net to Eleventy, with a custom theme and handy scripts for creating content via either a terminal or within Emacs. Of course I am enamored by it, so I've been posting daily notes there instead. That's why it's been quiet here lately.

That said, for $200 a month (or $20), you have a team of cybercriminals on tap that you can call at any time. You are now an absolute elite hacker, if you take time to learn some basics. Congratulations! Seeing state-level cyberweapons become a commodity is kind of a new thing, and I thought you should know about it.

It's a wild world out there. I'm a little nervous about it.

]]> Should I do baty.net next? https://daily.baty.net/2026/04/01/should-i-do-baty-net-next/ https://daily.baty.net/2026/04/01/should-i-do-baty-net-next/ Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT I had so much fun converting this site to Eleventy yesterday that it has me thinking about doing the same thing with baty.net. I prefer static sites, but Hugo has always been tricky to deal with. I like 11ty, but it means building a new theme and I'm not good at that. But Claude Code is. Trouble is, once I do that, what's stopping me from rolling some of the features here over to that blog? Does that mean One True Blog™? I doubt it, but it's interesting to think about.

]]> I vibe coded an 11ty version of this website https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/31/i-vibe-coded-an-11ty-version-of-this-website/ https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/31/i-vibe-coded-an-11ty-version-of-this-website/ Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT I woke up this morning wondering if Claude Code could build me an Eleventy version of daily.baty.net blog. Turns out it can (You're soaking in it). It was much easier than expected. Say what you will about LLMs, they've gotten damn good and very useful to me.

]]> Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2026) ★★★★ https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/31/nirvanna-the-band-the-show-the-movie-2026/ https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/31/nirvanna-the-band-the-show-the-movie-2026/ Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

I knew nothing about this going in. What a strange, funny movie. I had a blast.

]]> A test note https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/25/another-note/ https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/25/another-note/ Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Just a test note to verify multiple notes render on a day page.

]]> Harm without malice https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/25/harm-without-malice/ https://daily.baty.net/2026/03/25/harm-without-malice/ Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

One doesn't have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient.
