What is Hackers' Pub?

For the first day of 2026, I present to you a brain-vaporizing shot of the gigantic expanding debris from an ancient supernova, an allegory for endings and new beginnings.

Hooooo my do you want to see the full-scale version of it.

Who are the Palestine Action hunger strikers?

The UK parliament voted in favour of proscribing the group on July 2, 2025, classifying it as a “terrorist” organisation and bringing it into the same category as armed groups like al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS). Critics decried the move, arguing that while members of the group have caused damage to property, they have not committed acts of violence that amount to terrorism.

In the course of tidying, I've just come across a Thinkpad 310 from the late 90. Seems mint, boots Windows 95 happily, has a built-in floppy drive and a generous selection of ports and even a (probably dead) spare battery. Anyone in the UK love old computers ? I hate the idea of binning it. @anachrocomputerJohn Honniball maybe?

I almost signed off an update to DriveThruRPG customers with "happy gasming" instead of "happy gaming". I caught it JUST before hitting submit

“The Palestinian health system is decimated, essential infrastructure is destroyed, and people struggle to meet basic needs. People need more services, not less. If MSF and other INGOs lose access, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be cut off from essential care. We currently support one in five hospital beds and the delivery of one in three births in Gaza,” MSF said in a post.

1月1日 2日目--------

심지어 10년 이상 경력쌓여서 경력이직 하러 가는데 10년전 첫 취직 전 공백기를 물어보고 자빠짐 이직사이 3개월 공백기도 왜 생겼냐 하길래 그냥 어이없어서 "첫 취직 전 공백기에 뭐했겠냐 당연히 취직준비 했지. 그리고 10년을 쉬지않고 한 회사에서 일하다 퇴사했으면 쉬고싶지 않았겠냐?" 하고 대답했고 그래도 붙을 곳은 붙었습니다.

원래 중소기업 입장에서는 신입을 뽑을 '여유' 가 별로 없음. 사람을 뽑아놓는다고 그 사람이 바로 1인분 하는게 아님. 그래서 업무지시하고 지켜보며 가르칠 사람이 필요하기 때문에, 한명을 뽑았는데 오히려 초반에는 사내 전체 생산성이 저하됨. 그렇기 때문에 사람을 가르칠 여유가 있는 대기업이 신입을 많이 뽑아서 키워줘야 하는데, 대기업은 또 신입을 덜 뽑고 중소기업이 고생해서 키운 경력자를 데려감. 그러다보니 '신입을 뽑아서 키워봤자 대기업에 빨려들어갈 것'이란 생각에 중소기업은 더더욱 신입을 안뽑아버림..

停用了Threads，因為無法阻擋IG一直推薦文章，即便我已經限制自己只用網頁版。推薦的文章不外乎各種挑撥情緒的文，每次滑到都心頭一揪，比IG的廣告更令人心情不快。IG內的推薦文章只能停用Threads帳號才能使其消失。

停用之後心情變得比較好，不再整天亡國感和存在危機。大概是最近做過最好的決定。

上一個停用的是Twitter，再上一個是Facebook，都是因為類似的原因。也許我的人生真的不該有無限捲軸的推薦演算法。

Today in 1942, 84 years ago: the United Nations Declaration is signed in New York.

#OnThisDay

So out of the blue I got a request for access to a 10 year old Google Docs file. This request also came from someone who actually might be interested in that file, so I contacted him. Turns out he was making **exercise schedules** and had asked Google Gemini for help, and Gemini decided it needed access to my document on a new government law (from 2015). So be careful out there!

契約とる為だと思うけど割によくある。

Help me decide which games to stream this month. Note: It's multiple choice!

> Cyber Knights:
An X-COM like cyberpunk game I expect I could lose a lot of hours to.

> 1000xRESIST:
A surreal looking scifi adventure game I've been meaning to play.

> Angeline Era:
A new exploration/action RPG that seems really fun.

> Bunburrows:
A very cute puzzle game I've been recommended.
