Futility or hope: pink flowers, crowbars and compost.

On New Year’s Eve @tchambersTim Chambers shared a link to John Green’s review of Auld Lang Syne, resurfacing Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s question: how do we perceive a bright pink flower growing in an alley?

Looking back through the lens of 2025, a rough year in so many ways, the flower can look like futility. A tiny plant crushed by dark forces. Looking forward to 2026, it’s a symbol of hope.

Here’s why I’m excited about 2026.

"We are gonna run it", says Trump about Venezuela, after Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has been abducted from Caracas by the US military.

Trump explains, that Venezuela has not been pumping enough oil, but this will change as the US is taking over.

We went from "Canada should be the 51st state" to "we are gonna run Venezuela" in months.

Who needs enemies, when any country can be invaded by the USA, whenever the Trump regime wants it's resources?

Is Greenland next?

위로의 순간, 진심을 전하는 5가지 방법

1. 먼저 귀 기울여 깊이 듣는다
2. 판단하지 않고 공감한다
3. 따뜻한 말 한마디로 힘이 된다
4. 필요하다면 침묵도 위로가 된다
5. 작은 관심이 큰 힘이 된다

AI models don’t really 'get' the BSDs. As a result, they often provide incomplete, imprecise, or flat-out wrong answers by defaulting to Linux paradigms. When it comes to illumos-based systems, they just completely lose the plot.

This is becoming a serious issue for the BSDs and illumos ecosystems. We are seeing entire websites flooded with AI-generated tutorials and guides that are totally incorrect. Most people don't realize this; they follow the instructions, fail, and then assume that the BSDs doesn't work well or are 'unstable' because they have supposedly changed since the guide was written.

Luckily, some people eventually find my blog, reach out, and finally understand what's actually going on. Others, unfortunately, end up on major social sites or comments, claiming that these systems are broken.

In 2026, one of our greatest challenges will be teaching people how to vet their sources and filter information.
And I see this as a very, very uphill battle.

I have not updated my Starlink numbers in a while, and great flying fuckballs, is it ever bad. We are now up to 9,422 Starlink satellites in orbit, out of 14,046 total active satellites.

1,446 Starlinks have reentered and added their 500-1500kg of computers, batteries, solar panels, and aluminum frame to the upper atmosphere (and at least one has hit the ground).

ok, 5 hours later I know less than when I started.

I have a bastille bridge jail with jellyfin (journal.bsd.cafe/2025/11/28/je) on my desktop.

I can't connect to that jail from the same desktop or from my wife's compute. I can connect to it from my phone and apple tv.

(남성청소년) “나이, 위계질서가 철저한 성인중심 한국사회에서 항상 배제되고, 양육자와의 관계에서도 항상 약자이고 결정권 없는 수동적 입장에서 차별당한다고 인식하는데, 남성으로 태어났다는 이유 하나만으로 기득권으로 불리고 잠재적 가해자로 불리는 것” 혼란스러움 또한 존재한다. “제가 남성인 것이 여성들에게 두려움을 일으킨대요.” 이 학생이 표현한 것은 피해자, 여성과 연대하고자 할 때 느낀 절망감이었다.

If the world still cares
While the world moves on, we remain awake, haunted by the relentless sounds of shelling & explosions. These acts are being carried out under the guise of "demolishing buildings for urban expansion" & "reconstruction plans."
Last night was particularly brutal. The heavy bombardment drowned out everything except for the piercing screams of children living in tents surrounding the tower. No "development plan" should ever come at the cost of human terror.

cf) 기사 내 아열대기후 분류기준에 따라 분류하면 위구르 자치구 투르판시도 아열대기후로 분류될 수 있는 약점이 있다고 합니다. ("아열대기후"가 대체 뭐냐는 점은 차치하고)

"However, if you scoff at the idea that one should have any ethical boundaries at all, and think that there’s no reason to care about the overall utilitarian impact of this technology, that it’s worth using no matter what else it does as long as it makes you 5% better at your job, that’s sociopath behavior."
