Wow, 111 blog posts this year so far. I had no idea that I wrote this much. It does feel good that I'm making use of my blog more and not spending time on the negative stuff on the internet.
Next year's challenge is setting up my gopher/gemblog site and spending more time there.

Cloud models are bad but local models are not good.
가나자와는 작은 교토라는 별명에 어울리게 전통적인 분위기가 짙다. 개항 이전까지 번영하던 도시가 곱게 자신을 지키고 있는 느낌이 좋다. 음식도 맛있고.
한국에서 교통편이 애매한게 여행지로서 거의 유일한 단점.

I don't know who first came up with this, but it's really hard to un-see it.
Do you remember using Microsoft Comic Chat? To this day Mermaid Liz apparently still does! Her website http://mermeliz.com is a large archive, tribute, and memorial to the program and it's community. It archives many addons/characters.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 23: "Can you believe they spun fibers out of wide-eyed organelles and didnt think to call it what it is" (2023?) I still looove the colors in this one. I always thought it was weird this wasn't more popular
We have to perform unexpected hardware maintenance on one of our hosts. It will cause short downtime for most Codeberg Pages and Woodpecker CI builds.
Post-work meeting with the PyCon Italia 2026 org team, even during the holidays 🎄
We did the planning, talked schedules and tasks… and then, being in Italy, we naturally ended up on Panettone vs Pandoro 😄
Still working for you, our way.
I've been pulling photos off my camera the last couple of days. So, happy mosstodon
Eh, pls #boost my request to #getfedihired, if you could spare two clicks? 🥺
I've been humming and hawing about posting this, it feels strange, something about generational guilt & working class shame & ... but it's either this or start putting my CV through LLMs to include every buzzword on the listing I'm applying to. I haven't been able to stomach that, even though I presume that's a lot of my competition.
I simply can't get to an interview. Historically, I've done three interviews and got the job each time, because I'm a real human being who is friendly and chatty and presents himself sincerely (or, that's my guess, anyway).
#Christmas miracles appreciated!
In #Ireland with my partner, but we've lived in different places and would move happily. I've a year experience doing an IT support role the last year, but have transitioned to this stuff later than usual.
Before I've done: bartender; bicycle courier for Deliveroo in #Berlin for two years (best job ever); private tutor for five years in #Lyon (mostly piano but also maths, Irish, English, flute, tin whistle); bookies clerk for a short period; a few other odd bits - one highlight was writing reviews for a theatre company.
Oh, very comfortably fluent in #French, pretty fluent in #Irish (my first love), and intermediate #German (which I would love to have a chance to go back speaking and learning).
Tech-wise, it's been mostly on the #Linux / #Emacs / #Lisp side of things. I would happily work on anything that is one or more of challenging, interesting, useful, or moral.
Money doesn't rule me. I want to live with a humane level of comfort, that's all.
CVs and references available, DMs open. Thanks so much for any and all help!

This is what happened to the web when the software industry never spent a moment thinking about long term stability. About users. About usability. About anything other than features and a fast buck.
Among many other failings.
Would be nice to some professionalism in future. One can hope, but I despair.
Hi,
This is my first post. I'm looking for other Nabaztags 🐰 around the world to exchange and make new friends.
If you want to make me happy, please boost. ❤️

The lighting is terrible but I can report that the boys appreciate my efforts of changing their duvet cover along with the rest of my bedlinens. Naps are had.
Uncle Louie does manage to keep himself clean somehow. #cats
Number of times this idiot has nonchalantly clambered into the pantry and gotten shut in accidentally while I'm cooking stuff for Christmas today: two. #Cats #SiameseCat #CatsOfMastodon
A man, using his furniture!
Late last night, Karvinen arranged himself upon his duvet in a cute way.
When I was in school (middle school?) we had a really famous noodle shop in our cafeteria. People loved the noodles so much that there was a huge outpour of grief when the uncle passed away.
When school security got tighter and ex students (who were now adults) were not allowed to go in to the school to eat there, people were very sad.
Whenever there was a school reunion it was often a chance to eat ‘uncle’s noodles’ again, like we had giant tables and everybody just had the same noodles we had in our adolescence.
It was a legitimately good bowl for noodles compared to stuff outside of school, and it was god tier for school food.

As you may know, we do our fair amount of bitching here at GAYINT which made it difficult to narrow it down to one thing for a Festivus post. But we did. So let the airing of grievances commence.

Wird jemand beim #39c3 einen Ersatzakku (351752) für so einen Name Badge dabei haben? Habe das Badge letztes Jahr beim Congress gekauft. Online hatte ich bisher keinen Erfolg.

🤔 Caught myself explaining to a few people some fun things I'm doing with n8n over lunch today, using uv + httpx + typer, and I later realized while they knew it was Python, I'm more and more in the habit of saying UV.
