With or without statCounter, it's not difficult to see or 'feel' the overall
trend. Facebook rebranded itself and is trying to reinvent itself as a slop
company while openly stating an urge to fill Facebook with bots (because actual
people_leave). Twitter, now rebranded as "X" (to match the branding of a slop
venture with "AI" in its name), is dying. There are estimates that say the
majority of posts or "engagements" (interactions) are already bots. "X" is
vastly smaller than its owner (MElon) wants you to think it is; many numbers
(metrics) are faked/gamed for FOMO's sake. Don't believe them!


The_Federation and Bluesky are jammed. They're unable to grow and they actually
shrink most of the time (declines in activity). This is not only measurable;
they measure it themselves and broadcast those figures.


statCounter sees a gradual demise in Social Control Media access. This seems
like common sense. Why_bother_anymore? █

"We had a quiet meeting last week about budget realignment. No one said
layoffs, but it’s clear where the focus is shifting."

Causing_people_to_resign_in_droves (many did): "Starting in 2026, Microsoft
will require employees to work from the office at least three days a week. This
is a shift that big tech companies have been quietly undertaking for a while
now, with some facing backlash from employees. Will Google be able to avoid
Uber’s scenario? Microsoft’s decision comes as no surprise in the big tech
industry, as other companies, such as Google and Amazon, are taking the same
route. HR experts are far from dropping their jaws when hearing this news."


IBM/Red Hat did the same and it 'worked'. Many people left. This happened only
hours ago:

In 2026 we'll start Year_of_the_Horse (over a month from now) and tomorrow it's
officially 2026, a year whose colour motif is green, our favourite_colour.


"Galloping Ahead" is how the sister site put it, adding: "Galloping forward,
this year we'll try to produce a lot of original pages..."


This_year's_first_page was #7326 and the_previous_one was #13754, so we're
going to produce almost 6.5k pages by the end of this year and expect even more
next year (an average of 20 per day would be around 7.3k).


Of_course_the_goal_isn't_quantity_but_quality_and_relevance. However, if we can
keep focused, then quantity will increase. █

"Initially confined to single-tasking on 8-bit processors and no more than 64
kilobytes of memory"


Once upon a time nobody had a computer at home. Some people had access to a
computer, but not at home. Mainframes were a thing*, universities offered
access to computers, and companies or military facilities needed computers for
all sorts of purposes. CP/M was released_in_1974,_a_decade_before_GNU. Led by
Digital Research and Gary Kildall (whom_Microsoft_ripped_off), it was once
quite popular but "was eventually displaced in popularity by DOS following the
1981 introduction of the IBM PC." (Quoting Wikipedia despite its many flaws)


"If schools had always only ever taught computing from the perspective of what
software is on the current market," an associate argued today (citing this_blog
post_dated_yesterday), "they [or we] would still all be using CP/M".


Quoting the introduction:


     CP/M was the most successful microcomputer operating system during
     the 8-bit era. It has been highly influential and is still very much
     worth exploring if you’re interested in operating system history,
     retro-computing or are simply looking for a fun lesson in minimalism
     (which is quite a grounding experience in times where we have
     gigabytes of memory and IT people at large seem to have lost any
     motivation to optimize and not waste resources).


Well, teaching how computers work is a lot easier with 8-bit systems, where
complexity is reduced sufficiently to teach principles (like what makes an
instruction and what each bit signifies). I did that more than 25 years ago;
nowadays, instead, they tell people to play_with_bloated_Web_browsers using
JavaScript "frameworks" and blobs like WebAssembly. This won't teach much,
it'll encourage memorising library names and interfaces. As an associate put
it: "This one is heading further down the dreadful path of misusing the browser
as an inefficient, insecure virtual machine".


The security problems can be 'upstream' or 'downstream'. Why would you trust a
browser as large as 300 MB in size and WebAssembly to not have bugs in them?
Also, if to many people the use cases are something like checking the weather
forecast and writing some textual notes, why_can't_1_MB_be_enough? When we
drown in complexity we invite security curses. █

"Paperless" is only perceived to be good for the environment if we
conveniently, gullibly, falsely and wrongly assume the digital devices we
leverage to "go digital" cause no environmental damage to produce and to use
(extraction, combustion and so on). That's not even counting the server side,
routers, manpower etc. Dr. Andy Farnell wrote_about_it_years_ago. "The_Nine
Circles_of_E-Waste" has aged well.


Why should we favour paper use sometimes? Well, many reasons.


Consider what_we_wrote_earlier_today_about_postal_services; with modern letters
that get printed not by hand but by some machines it's safe to assume there is
some storage device or file/s somewhere, driving the printer or movable types
or whatever, then doing the printing. They nowadays say to people, get your
"skinnerbox" to access the file/s instead of receiving the physical output. To
say so is to basically deny people the full service/s they once had. Is this
really progress? Papers last vastly longer than the average digital device,
which in this age (the "Made in China" era) are made to fail within a few
years. "Just get used to it!" (Data will be lost without redundancy, format
shifting, device shifting etc.)


"Written communication is no longer a service," someone pointed out, "but a
profit center and in conflict with Metcalfe's law, they are shaving the edges
off of the network. In other words, in effect the decision to end letter
service was made when DPS ended and PostNord started, only the timing was left
open. Now the wheels set in motion back then have ground this far."


A reader said that "Google and Microsoft aim to do the same to plain text over
IMAPS/SMTP."


"And of course Palantir is drooling at the idea of all written communication
going through Goolag [Google] or Microsoft in machine readable form." It is
already digesting_British_people's_medical_data_in_partnership_with_Microsoft_
(US)_in_the_UK - it's like a form of espionage by pseudo-American spying firms
which work_closely_with_foreign_spooks.


"Societies that say the aim is to "go digital" and eliminate paper trail aren't
advanced; they're moving backwards," I said, and the reader replied, "see
earlier comment about Palantir drooling" (they try to 'monetise' sensitive data
by sending it down hostile 'pipes').


Choosing paper is common sense in many real-world scenarios, it's not being a
"Luddite" or "retarded" or a "pain" (supposed 'burden' to those who cut their
services and staff). █

In a_new_article_from_CyberShow, authored by Dr. Andy Farnell and published
yesterday morning (we've only just linked_to_it, he asserts that reliance on
chatbots constitutes a sort of double-deception or deception on top of
deception. The deceit comes in two phases: first there's a nonsensical words
salad being shared; on top of it, there's an effort to hide (to deceive) so as
to avoid/avert/minimise scrutiny.


Remember that the EPO has illegally resorted to using chatbots/slop. Misusing
rather. Even for_legal_purposes. This is somewhat shocking. How much longer can
the EPO survive? █

Paper is very, very valuable in many contexts (we've printed many things this
month); "digital" is overrated


Post isn't going away. Post is being enshittified, i.e. we're expected to pay
far more for a lot less. The subject was discussed this morning in IRC and
again when walked past a Royal Mail depo around 10AM. Many places in the world
(not just Denmark) quit delivering post, so there's lots of "fake news" this
week (e.g. lots_of_articles_about_this_in_our_Daily_Links_earlier_today).


If not fake, then certainly misleading. Post isn't going away; there are still
private and expensive couriers; they're not there to serve the public but to
exploit it. It's known as price_gouging and it's done at many levels. Besides,
Denmark isn't the first (just the first rich country).


"The Grauniad_has_a_wrong_title," a person pointed out (not just Grauniad). "It
is not the Danish Postal Service ending letters. The DPS was eliminated years
ago. Letters have been delivered by PostNord A/S instead for the last few
years. Written communication is no longer a service, but a profit center and in
conflict with Metcalfe's_law, they are shaving the edges off of the network. In
other words, in effect the decision to end letter service was made when DPS
ended and PostNord started, only the timing was left open. Now the wheels set
in motion back then have ground this far."


I still use the post a great deal, e.g. as a_Litigant_in_Person_at_the_UK_High
Court and soon the_Court_of_Appeal (we have witnesses coming forth this week).
Without the post, the processes would be further complicated.


Societies that say the aim is to "go digital" and eliminate paper trail aren't
advanced; they're moving backwards. █

This is part 20 already, and it's the last day of this year. The EPO's 2026
might_be_the_last_year of António_Campinos, who (if the EPO cared about
lawfulness) like Benoît_Battistelli needs to have his term expediently
terminated.


Last month we said that Campinos_was_already_planning_to_pursue_a_third_term.
Campinos is so arrogant he thinks he can run the Office with cokeheads for 15
years.


"It's also factual as you have described that Campinos is eyeing a third term,"
one insider told us. "Your coverage is putting all of this in jeopardy, and
that's why they went for the sick leave solution [after the_Berenguer_drug
bust]. For them the ideal outcome is: because of the sick leave, Campinos can
get through this crisis without addressing the actual issue (as he is not
allowed to talk about a medical condition) and test waters until things slowly
get back to normal after Christmas break. Next year, whenever it seems safe to
do so, he will try to reinstate Berenguer. Especially, if news of the cocaine
abuse has not spread around staff and the AC."


Well, bad news for Campinos. EPO_Cocainegate_will_be_covered_for_months_to
come. █

In Fiji, based on these_stats, GNU/Linux really gained momentum this past year
(see screenshot above). Fiji is about_16_times_bigger_than_Hong_Kong and has
close_to_a_million_residents. It's not as small as people are led to believe. █

IBM is still squeezing the life out of Gerstner's_death, not just as a
distraction but also a form of revisionism and a misleading message about IBM's
current trajectory. This article won't be about Gerstner; we just want to point
out he became a diversionary means - an excuse for many bad things.


We still see many people leaving Red Hat and HashiCorp (we gave examples from
both today). They are being bluewashed, but HashiCorp is still at an earlier
phase or stage of bluewashing.


Once fully bluewashed, there won't be much left of them; neither structurally
(e.g. a "Red Hat CEO") nor substantially. A company will get broken down and
melted/welded onto "brand" or "brands".


I spoke to former people of IBM who had been bluewashed out of work (by IBM).
They're very unhappy about it, but they're unable to speak about it in public
[1, 2, 3]. IBM issues threats and is willing to lawyer up against critics. This
is a really sinister aspect of being associated with IBM. They have a platoon
of lawyers; forget about engineering.


Do people seriously believe that IBM is getting "bigger" (or in "big blue") by
buying all those companies? Hell no! IBM is shrinking. Many people leave
(resign, change job, retire etc.) and many are forced out. They never say so,
they just express gratitude, speak of "last day" and something something "new
chapter"... something something "journey".


People who get bluewashed out of their job (or bluewashed into unemployment)
are gagged by NDAs. That's a very serious problem.


We must talk about this problem. Sometimes insiders let slip or leak
information about that.


As one who believes_firmly_in_transparency I intend to combat those NDAs and
show the real IBM next year, even if that means writing about IBM every day.


Once you get identified as a "problem site" (e.g. to IBM) there's an upside:
people get more curious, people tell colleagues about it, the bosses try to gag
their workers, get more aggressive, and pressurise everyone, so their workers
leak to you the abuse and it's a downward spiral. They harder they attack the
staff (to conceal dissent or embarrassing facts), the more leaking follows.


The only engineering still happening at IBM is financial engineering or
accounting fraud. We welcome whistleblowers; as of 2026 we still have a 100%
source protection record (since 2006). █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft XBox Having a "Dog Ate My
Homework" Moment: No New Console Until 3 Years From Now... Because "RAM
Prices"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

O really?!


         🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇因内存价格飙涨，索尼_PS6、微软下一代_Xbox_恐推迟至_2028_年后发布⦈_


XBox, the console, will probably be dismantled/scuttled very soon (production
halted due to low_demand_and_losses, unprecedented_low_availability). Even
high-profile_sites_speak_about_it_this_week.


What does Microsoft say? Well, XBox is now a "PC" with "XBox" streams on it;
Microsoft pretends that "XBox" is no longer a console; it tries to salvage the
brand, seeing it's too late to salvage the console.


When the media asks Microsoft about the console Microsoft quickly responds with
some vapourware (fictional theoretical product; or some handheld rebranded as
"XBox", e.g. "ROG") and now we're told not to expect another XBox console...
until 3 years from now. Who will ever remember this in 2028? Nobody.


But blame "RAM prices"... █

Regarding fake openings from 'telemarketers': Why_Government_Data_on_"Job
Openings"_is_Typically_a_Lie_(Perpetrated_in_Part_by_Corporations)


One of my best friends, a university professor, lost all of his life's savings
due to Microsoft LinkedIn. He was approached by a so-called 'crypto' (scam)
charlatan. He trusted a stranger in Microsoft LinkedIn. Laugh at him all you
want, he's a clever person, but Microsoft LinkedIn makes scammers seem highly
legit and everyone else easily impressionable.


But Microsoft LinkedIn isn't just a magnet to scammers; it's a magnet to many
other bad actors, not people who get real work done or look for people to hire
(for real work).


I've never heard of people who found a job in Microsoft LinkedIn; if they got a
job, it was because they attended some real job interview, not because they
created some fake history with fake badges and "connected" to many people whom
they never even met. Only a foolish company would hire based on easy-to-fake
online profile.


Microsoft LinkedIn is nothing but a social control network, hence_a_complete
waste_of_time (more_people_recognise_this_now). Worse yet, people broadcast
there things that they later regret, as what they publish targets recruiters
and instead gets to the "wrong crowd" or gets posted to 'friends' and then used
negatively by an employer (e.g. evidence you lied about being "off sick").


In short, life is too short for Microsoft LinkedIn.


If someone tells you, "no, I'm not in Microsoft LinkedIn" (it happens), treat
it not with suspicion; it's a sign of tact. █

Having carefully read the message below, even twice just to ensure it contains
no sensitive personal information, I've made the decision that ahead of the
Stallman talk (3 weeks from now) it would be OK to reproduce. It explains how
the first public talk in a US college in nearly 8 years came about. We hope the
whole theatre/auditorium will be occupied, though that relies on word of mouth
because Stallman_(RMS)_does_not_give_a_headsup (to reduce the ease at which
online mobs/brigades contact organisers to cancel/intercept his talks).


     Hello Mr. Schestowitz,


     My name is Kenneth (Alex) Jenkins, and I hope I’m reaching out to the
     right person regarding the_recent_post_on_Techrights. I’m the
     president and founder of LibreTech Collective at Georgia Tech - the
     world’s first college free software and hardware student club!


     I mainly wanted to say thank you for absolutely making my night. This
     was genuinely one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time. For
     context, the official venue capacity is around 380 people - the
     largest room we could reserve as a student organization without
     incurring additional university fees. After speaking with RMS by
     phone, we confirmed that this will be his first talk at Georgia Tech
     and his first talk at a U.S. college since 2018.


     The event is funded by the College of Computing as well as the ANAK
     Society - Georgia Tech’s campus secret society, whose public alumni
     include figures such as Jimmy Carter and over a dozen NASA
     astronauts. The_state_of_Georgia_has_laws_designed_to_curb_“social
     control_media”_and_cancel_culture,_including_strong_free-speech
     protections_for_student_organizations_like_ours. To our genuine
     surprise, when we spoke with the Dean of the College of Computing, we
     learned that he is a lifelong Emacs user - he immediately knew
     exactly who RMS was and fully appreciated the value that bringing him
     to Georgia Tech provides.


     Interestingly, this entire event traces back to about a year ago,
     when I first reached out to RMS to ask for feedback on a_free_AI_and
     machine_learning_textbook_authored_by_my_research_advisor_and_me_for
     a_course_at_GT. To my amazement, he replied within a week, offering
     detailed critiques that we incorporated into subsequent editions of
     the book!


     Once the event concludes, I will absolutely send you the videos.
     We’ll be hosting them on our own servers (with zero nonfree
     JavaScript), alongside YouTube mirrors for convenience and sharing.
     We’ve also built a website dedicated to showcasing libre hardware and
     software projects at Georgia Tech - feel free to visit https://
     LibreLinker.us to see our ongoing work.


     In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any
     questions. It was truly an honor to be featured in the article!


     Best regards, and Happy New Year,


The talk will take place on January 23rd between 2PM and 5PM (for questions and

So what next to be coming our way? What next for chatbot suppliers? Can they
survive? Will they forever be bailed_out_by_oil_companies_and_oil-rich_nations,
which understandably - albeit recklessly and selfishly - seek to increase
energy consumption and therefore bankroll the worst and most obscene energy
consumers?


Guess who shoulders the debt of chatbots (which do more harm than good,
environmental aspects aside). It's not the Government of Japan.

They will simply repel existing users; it won't work. The media already reports
a decrease in usage of chatbots; adding SPAM won't help.


We've meanwhile noticed some new slopfarm. This was published earlier this
week:


  🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_will_be_unstoppable_in_2026_-_but_one_open-source
                           legend_may_not_survive⦈_


Then came plagiarism by slop, promoted by Google News:


  🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Linux_May_Be_Unstoppable_in_2026_—_But_One
                    Open-Source_Legend_Might_Not_Survive⦈_


Another notorious slopfarm gets promoted by Google News:


 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Intel_Boosts_Xe_Driver_with_Multi-GPU_SVM_in
                           Linux_Kernel_7.0_for_AI⦈_

                      for_5-15%_Boost_on_Intel_and_AMD⦈_


Aside from a slopfarm that we track by RSS:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Guide_to_Auditing_UFW_Firewall_Rules_on_Long-
                           Term_Linux_Environments⦈_


Today we've caught a total of 3 slopfarms. A bit more than we'd like (zero
would ideal), but seeing that the slopfarms and spamfarms find common ground we
reckon that Google will eventually delist all slopfarms, recognising they're
just a form of SPAM.


Mark our word/s: a decade from now people will look back and recall slop much
like we look back and recall "serverless". It's just some dumb misnomer. Its
potential was made up. █

In 2026 we'll try to chronicle the final_death_of_XBox. We expect the final
nails to be wedged into the XBox 'coffin' (a term used when critical defects
resulted in alarming rates of returns, coinciding with house_fires). XBox as a
console won't survive and the consensus is shaping up in the media: XBox won't
be a console anymore, there will be many XBox-related layoffs soon, and there's
no route towards recovery (some of the very largest retailed have already given
up on XBox).


"As mentioned before," an associate explains this week, "the Xbox was never
about gaming and merely served as a test bed for DRM in commodity systems. Now
that UEFI and TPM2 are mandatory to have installed, the Xbox is not needed any
more. Vista 11 started making the lockdown mandatory. If Microsoft keeps
getting bailouts, it will survive to make Vista 12 which will then probably
require the firmware keys be tied to specific versions of Windows and exclude
other versions like GNU/Linux and the *BSDs are currently excluded."


"It's another step in the ongoing war against general purpose computing," he
added.


That Microsoft (and for that matter Apple as well, even GAFAM as a whole) is
pursuing lock-down - which they euphemise as "security" or "appliances" whilst
insisting that disenfranchising people would make things "simpler" - isn't some
mere theory or aimless conjecture. There are documents showing exactly that,
including Peter_Gutmann's_analysis_of_Vista_DRM (about two decades ago).


Our associate remembers all this. They've not given up on that agenda. They've
since then taken control not only of formats but also people's files (storage).
They've dubbed this "cloud".


"Almost no news about the ICC having been cut off from its data and services by
Microsoft a few months ago," he said. "Even though time has passed, the threat
has not." Germany openly acknowledged that 'secure_boot' was a national
security risk, not a security feature.

About 4 years ago I made the decision to quit all social control media (all of
it in one go). Do I regret that? No, I only regretted that I hadn't done so a
lot earlier (except_partially).





Did I "suffer" from not being in social control media? Heck, no. I saved a lot
of time by not having to bother with notifications (set aside posting; the
"work" doesn't end when you merely post there; Torvalds should_know) and could
instead focus on writing long-form articles, as I had done before joining
Identica in 2009.


People are made/compelled to wrongly assume that without social control media
nobody will read or see anything they produce. Well, people who do spend time
in social control media very well understand that being in social control media
is no guarantee of visibility either. Many so-called 'producers' or
'influencers' wrongly and foolishly trusted Google's YouTube; in more recent
years some of them just suddenly lost over 90% of their viewers (Google's
fault, not theirs). Now what? After "investing" in a lot of video equipment or
racking up debt (while raking in no income) for travel to "special" places. In
a sense, social control media is a giant delusion. It destroys many people,
both mentally and physically. Like they celebrities who rise and fall so
quickly that they end up depressed and dependent on hard drugs (to replicate
the lost thrill/fame).


So far today, since midnight (18 hours), we've served close to a million hits
over the Web and Gemini Protocol. We have absolutely no presence in social
control media, but people find this site and come back to this site because it
interests them, not because they left comments here and want to check if
someone replied to (or "liked") their comment. █

                       Have you ever suddenly realised something about
                       yourself that provides a basis for understanding
                       many of your quirks? Like most people, there are
                       certain things that I find fascinating. Lots of
                       technical things. Lots of technical ideas. Certain
                       games. Recently I found a common thread that seems
                       to connect most of them: that of tiny isolated
                       worlds.


                # ⚓ 31_December_2025⠀⇛


                       Well, the year is rapidly approaching its end and i
                       just wanted to publish one last phlog entry in 2025
                       to recapture a few thoughts about the state of ...
                       well, everything.


                       For me personally, the year was way better than the
                       last few. Things settled in, junior is growing and
                       developing at a breakneck speed, the house is not
                       THAT fast falling apart anymore and financially
                       everything is not THAT hopeless anymore either. We
                       did a few cool trips, and were not anything near as
                       often sick as last year. Oh, and no catastrophes...
                       no unscheduled hospital visits or anything like
                       that. The year really was better.


                       On the computer side of things... well, i didn't
                       have as much time as i wish to try out new things,
                       tinkering time with a small kid is really a rare
                       thing! But at least i could look into a couple of
                       unixoid operating systems, played around with
                       FreeDOS again and set up a /somewhat/ working
                       Gentoo system. I have rescued a few computer
                       refurbished them and handed out a few to other
                       people.


                # ⚓ 31st_December_2025_-_End_of_Year⠀⇛


                       I am writing this in a room filled with boxes,
                       empty book shelves and curtainless windows. Why
                       yes, I did manage to move into a house I have
                       bought. A first for me. It is in a different part
                       of Solihull, a weird 'metropoliton borough' to the
                       south and east of Birmingham. Urgh, the unpacking
                       is frustating. I keep having to solve tetris
                       problems to work out how to get to boxes. It is
                       nice knowing I can do what I want to the house
                       though. Well, so long as I keep paying the
                       mortgage.


                       I managed to have a successful and fun Explorer
                       Belt expedition with Scouts. It went very well with
                       no issues we could not resolve. I am starting to
                       think about running another in 2028. It will soon
                       come along. I will be taking my group to a UK based
                       Jamboree in the summer. That will be fun. I managed
                       to support all of the Duke of Edinburgh expeditions
                       last year and hoping to do the same this year. They
                       have been a good laugh. The group has grown and I
                       managed to help someone with complex additional
                       needs feel secure enough to join. They seem to be
                       having a great time. I also got an Award for Merit.
                       There is a variety of awards which leaders can get
                       and this is the first of the dangly ones where you
                       wear it around the neck. I am still having some
                       fairly pants Tuesday evenings where activities
                       don't work. However, there have been fewer this
                       year. Well, it feels that way.

                       without cloud-sync, and in this post, I'll explain

                       I am an reader, and for years I've been searching
                       for a good digital e-reader to complement my paper
                       books. I advocate for privacy-first and prefer
                       open-source or self-hosted solutions. If that is
                       not possible, I opt for offline solutions. Even if

                       wants those things anyway. I found my ideal device
                       in the Kobo Forma 7 years ago. Now, I use it

                             Hello there, I wish you all a happy new year!
                             These are my social media posts from the last
                             six months. I keep them here to reflect on
                             them and also to not lose them. Social media
                             networks come and go and are not under my
                             control, but my domain is here to stay.

                       As this year is going to an end, there is always a
                       strong urge to sum everything up. This year is not
                       different. Some things worked out, some worked
                       partially, and some not at all.


                       This is my examination of conscience.


                       On one hand, the apartment renovation, on one hand,
                       is almost finished, at least the part which I
                       decided (or kind of was forced by myself because of
                       finances) to do on my own.

                       December 30, 2025. Day before New Year's Eve. I've
                       been back in town for a few days now and it's taken
                       me as many to find the energy to make it out to the
                       grocery store. I didn't leave my cabinet in good
                       shape when I left, leaving only half a box of
                       cereal and a few packs of dry beans for my return.
                       Rather than spend another day rotting in my
                       apartment I thought it'd be nice to get enough food
                       to make something real.


                       Maybe my favourite story to tell about my first
                       apartment was grocery shopping with my partner. We
                       lived on the top of a pretty big hill, the sort of
                       place where all the more fortunate people in the
                       city lived. Unfortunately for us, we didn't own a
                       car. Getting to the grocery store meant taking a
                       twenty minute walk down hill to the University,
                       where we could take a forty minute bus ride into
                       town. Making it back meant taking a forty minute
                       bus ride back to the University and what felt like
                       a much longer walk back up the hill to our
                       apartment, now with all our groceries. In the
                       annual 100-year heatwaves plaguing the valley
                       during the summer, I figured I'd lose my mind if I
                       had to go each week so I tried to plan around going
                       grocery shopping only once a month. That had some
                       obvious trade-offs.


                       I'm not sure why I like telling that story so much.
                       Maybe it made me feel better about where I lived.
                       Indeed, my neighbours didn't really understand how
                       it felt, because everyone on the hill owned or at
                       least leased a car they could use to drive wherever
                       they want. Despite the neighbourhood's incredibly
                       bougie name, it was actually a really awful place
                       to live; it's just that it was awful in a lot of
                       ways that are kind of hard to talk about.


                # ⚓ m0ar_7-11⠀⇛


                       I have discovered that the 7-ELEVEn drops a lot of
                       merch that I seem to keep picking up, which I have
                       phlogged about previously [1] Their merch makes it
                       convenient to have both 7 and 11 represented
                       simultaneously.


                       7 and 11 seems to have become some kind of personal
                       number for me. Some people have spirit animals...I
                       seem to have spirit numbers. I have heard that
                       these numbers have some kind of woo-woo spiritual
                       significance...which there might be something
                       there, but I think I need to look into that idea.
                       I'm just aware that they follow me.


                       They are also prime numbers. 7 is a prime number. 1
                       is a prime number and so is 11. 711 is not a prime
                       number, it is divisible by 3. Same with 171 and
                       117.


                # ⚓ Midget_Slide_Rule_Part_2⠀⇛


                       I disassembled and reassembled the cursor assembly
                       a few more times, and now my Midget slide rule is
                       functioning at a satisfactory level — at least well
                       enough to proceed with investigating the scales. My
                       current configuration left one unused washer, which
                       I have placed in a ziploc bag. Now if I turn the L
                       cursor, both the S and L cursors turn and the angle
                       is preserved. I can also change the angle by
                       holding down the L cursor while turning the S
                       cursor. According to the instructions, I am
                       supposed to be able to simply move the S cursor
                       freely, i.e., without having to hold down the L
                       cursor. But if I try to do that, sometimes the L
                       cursor catches and they start turning together — so
                       something is still not quite right.


                       I observe that there is also some slight inaccuracy
                       introduced depending on where the cursors are
                       around the dial, as though a cursor is not
                       perfectly centered, or some similar problem.
                       Generally, if I am expecting the answer to be x
                       (some whole number) the answer might actually be
                       somewhere between x and x+0.1.


                # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾


                      # ⚓ Posting_on_gemlogs_and_blogs⠀⇛


                             After I posted my article I run "antenna.sh"
                             to put it on the "Antenna" feed aggregator,
                             which is optional, but I could put it into my
                             "gemini_up.sh" to automate this too.


                             Of course everyone has his/her own needs to
                             publish an article (maybe their site isn't
                             static, which complicates things) and there
                             are really interesting ways some people use
                             to publish, and posting via email is surely
                             one of them, and some people may want to post
                             from their phones (which is much too
                             cumbersome for me on the phones keyboard
                             anyway), but to publish a simple article
                             shouldn't be that complicated. Many people
                             may have a separate web blog, which may be
                             more complicated to post to. I can't say much
                             to this, because I simply use "Kineto" to
                             make my Gemlog available on the www and I
                             wrote a proxy in Go for my Gopher Hole. And I
                             chose Gemini/Gopher/Finger because it's so
                             easy to publish, among all the other things
                             which make them interesting.


                             My complete Gemini/Gopher/Finger/smolweb site
                             is stored in a git repo which I push to my
                             local repository store from time to time.
                             It's also distributed to all my workstation/
                             laptops with SyncThing, so I have the same
                             easy process on all of them. I don't see a
                             need for publishing my repo to the public,
                             even as a backup. I'm sure my backup strategy
                             is safe enough, that I won't lose the data,
                             even if my flat is on fire, in which case my
                             server would be pretty irrelevant to me.


                             But to publish via email with all the needed
                             configuration and scripts involved is surely
                             one of the more creative ways to post an
                             article, and I like it nonetheless. :)

                             Why not use some form of `xxd -r` to reverse
                             a hexdump? vim not being installed would be
                             one reason. Other options include hex editors
                             that handle the presentation and reversage
                             for you, e.g. bvi or the "Binary VIsual
                             editor" among other options. The presentation
                             part is because just zeros and ones is not
                             very intelligible to most humans, though
                             there are probably some Woz-likes out there
                             who will recognize what is going on, though
                             even they may benefit from at least a little
                             chunking of the numbers, maybe into groups of
                             eight or 10 or whatever. The Babylonians
                             counted by 12 using the thumb against the 12
                             other finger joints on one hand. Slightly to
                             the west of them was Caria, from whom the
                             Greeks stole or adapted Hecate, who at some
                             point became associated with the moon,
                             crossroads, magic and therefore hexes. Such
                             hex codes of course aim to be regulated by
                             the powers that be, or understood by the
                             "wannabe hackers, code crackers" that Weird
                             Al has spoken of so many times.


                      # ⚓ What_I_want_in_a_Programming_Language⠀⇛


                             This year, I did advent of code in Python,
                             using it's type system and mypy for type
                             checking. It's been a nice experience - I
                             haven't used python very extensively before,
                             and it's been nice to work with, but I do
                             kind of pine for a compiled language.
                             Especially after reading this article from
                             Daniel Beskin about the power of type systems
                             and working with the compiler.


                             [...]


                             I've toyed with a handful of languages; at
                             this point, I've written code in C, C#, Java,
                             Scala, Haskell, Python, Lua and Ada. I think
                             Java and Scala are out just because I don't
                             want to deal with the JVM, Lua is worse than
                             Python for the things I care about. C# on
                             linux is a pain. C doesn't have the
                             functional constructs I'd like to have.
                             Haskell can be tough to reason about with
                             Monads and side-effects. I know Rust has some
                             Haskell-inspired functional stuff, and a very
                             strong community, but it does use braces.
                             Python isn't compiled, but it has most of the
                             other things I'd like to see. I don't know
                             enough about Ada to eliminate it, but I
                             suspect it doesn't implement a lot of
                             functional constructs. It's type system is so
                             dope though.

                       was an outspoken supporter of the far right and was
                       convicted in court for hate speech, stirring debate

                       Union staff selected outreach and communications
                       coordinator Eko K. A. Owen to the role. Owen
                       follows Ian Kelling, current president, who held
                       the staff seat since its creation in 2021. At the
                       board meeting on the 20th of December, 2025, Owen
                       was officially welcomed to both the board of
                       directors and the FSF's voting member bodies.


                       This board position was created to have staff
                       participate via this designated seat in governance
                       deliberations. It was an important step in the
                       FSF's effort to recognize and support new
                       leadership, to connect that leadership to the
                       community, and to improve transparency and
                       accountability through giving staff a seat at the
                       table. "The union staff seat on the board enabled
                       me to make many positive contributions to the FSF
                       over the last 4 years," said Kelling. "I'm
                       confident this role will enable Eko to help the FSF
                       in wonderful and new ways. I'm excited to be a part
                       of it and thankful that they volunteered for it."


                       "I'm very optimistic about the freer future we can
                       work towards together," Eko said when asked about
                       joining the FSF board. "User freedom is a human
                       right, and I am honored to take part in the legacy
                       of fighting for it."

                 good of a video game, and 2) starting a new job, and thus
                 having more of my mental energy focused on that.

                 I like to read. I like to listen to music. I like to
                 watch other people build stuff and make cool things. I
                 have a lot of likes. I think that’s true of everyone. The
                 question I’ve been asking myself recently, however, is
                 what am I passionate about?


                 This feels like the wrong time to ask myself “What do you
                 want to be when you grow up?” But that is essentially the
                 question. 40 years old, and now it feels like I have no
                 direction. I’m looking for new jobs, and I’ll be happy
                 with whatever I can get, but will I be passionate about
                 it?


                 I doubt it.

                 If you ever want to see how the blog is doing, stat wise,
                 you can head over to my stats page and check it out
                 yourself. This post will be number 146 for the year,
                 slightly beating my count for last year. Of course,
                 quality means more than quantity, but I try to keep a
                 pace of a post a week at minimum and I had no problem
                 with that in 2025.

                       You should read books too. Turns out they are
                       actually pretty good. In 2025 I covered a lot of
                       ground: Cal Newport, Triathlon training material,
                       Cory Doctorow and a book on solar power.

                       The year is about to end, and it’s unlikely I’ll
                       finish more books, so I think it’s a good time to
                       recap the books I read in 2025. I’m not going to
                       include links to buy these books. There’s no point
                       in doing that because you know better than I do
                       where you like to buy books. Some I read in
                       Italian, others in English, but I’ll list the

                       We also show some basic examples of how microcode
                       programs work, from a simple CString strlen
                       implementation in a single x64 instruction to a

                       implemented entirely in microcode. These show off
                       the basics of microcode programming, like memory
                       loads & stores, arithmetic and conditional
                       branches. We are also currently looking at other
                       examples and more complex programs.


                       We hope this talk shows you how to start throwing
                       random bits at your own AMD Zen CPU to figure out
                       what each bit does and help us in further
                       understanding the instruction set. We welcome
                       improvements to the tooling and even entirely new
                       tools to help analyze microcode updates and the

                             They’re built on important protocols:
                             ActivityPub for Mastodon and the AT Protocol

                             Specifically, I think ActivityPub will be
                             relevant in 2050 and AT Proto will not. (I

                       dropped by 90 per cent in the past 25 years.


                       In the year 2000, PostNord delivered nearly 1.5
                       billion letters. Last year, it delivered 110
                       million.

                       However, Danish law guarantees citizens have the
                       right to send and receive physical letters. So,
                       with PostNord no longer offering the service,
                       shipping and distribution company Dao will be
                       stepping in. From January on, Danes wishing to send
                       letters at home or abroad will have to hand them in
                       at the private company’s shops — which already
                       processed 30 million missives this year — and affix
                       them with its corporate stamps.

                       Danes have become more and more digital, and what
                       was once sent by letter is now received digitally
                       by the vast majority of people. This means that
                       there are very few letters left in Denmark. In
                       fact, letter volumes have decreased by over 90
                       percent since 2000, and the volume of letters
                       continues to decrease rapidly.


                       On the other hand, Danes are shopping online like
                       never before. This means, that there is a growing
                       need for fast and good delivery of Danish parcels,
                       and we at PostNord are well equipped to help.
                       That's why we're now focusing on becoming even
                       better where Danes need us most - on parcels.

                             we show how the European Union’s efforts to
                             promote transparency through the GDPR, the
                             Digital Services Act (DSA), and the Digital

                             platform research.


                             At the heart of the discussion is a paradox:
                             while these laws promise unprecedented access
                             to the data that shape our digital lives, the

                             and help us understand what users truly
                             encountered or how the platform influenced

                       Such scenes are why the first Earth Day — on April
                       22, 1970 — energized the nation. In the largest

                       roughly 10% of the population took to the streets

                             the face of misinformation in the modern
                             world.

                       The protests began on Sunday afternoon after mobile
                       phone and electronics shopkeepers in Tehran shut
                       their stores as the rial currency fell to a record
                       low of 1.42 million to the dollar.


                       Riot police in full gear confronted hundreds of
                       demonstrators near Tehran’s Grand Bazaar and in the
                       Saadi Street area on Monday afternoon.

                       Demonstrations were reported in several cities,
                       with markets and shops shuttered and students
                       holding rallies at universities, on December 30.


                       This follows two days of demonstrations that saw
                       security forces launch volleys of tear gas to
                       disperse crowds. People were chanting anti-
                       government slogans to protest a sharp weakening of
                       the currency.

                       That a service like Bright Harbor found a strong
                       foothold in the US is not surprising. The private
                       sector’s creeping influence over disaster recovery
                       has been noted since at least 2007, when Naomi
                       Klein published The Shock Doctrine, the book that
                       injected the term “disaster capitalism” into a
                       broader lexicon. But as climate change accelerates
                       and hammers the United States with more billion-
                       dollar catastrophes than ever before, privatization
                       has become more common — and complicated. Private
                       interests can quickly mobilize huge volunteer
                       networks, giving campaigns, and rebuilding efforts
                       in the wake of extreme weather. But, whatever their
                       intentions, such measures are a consequence — and
                       sometimes a cause — of the corrosion of public
                       institutions originally intended to safeguard
                       Americans.

                       “These posts are not harmless greetings,” says FFRF
                       Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. “They send a
                       message that the federal government aligns itself
                       with Christianity and that Americans of other
                       faiths, or of no faith at all, are outsiders in

                       When the Air Force wanted to set up low-altitude
                       training flights over Red Lake, the tribal council
                       had finally had enough, enacting a resolution
                       "prohibiting the flying of any airplane over the
                       lands of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians at
                       an altitude of less than 20,000 feet." While they
                       have no real way of enforcing this while planes are
                       in the air, once they land, the tribal police can
                       take action.


                       In a previous incident, a pilot landed on a frozen
                       lake in the reservation to look for fish. LaDuke
                       again explains, "His plane was seized by Red Lake
                       because that's what a closed reservation means,
                       even if you have some of the best walleye in the
                       world. It's almost like watching dumb tourists try
                       petting a buffalo at Yellowstone. No one is
                       surprised by the results."
