Your annual reminder:
@jbz wow, I didn't know the November CloudFlare crash was caused by trying to unwrap an error in Rust. This goes to show its type safety isn't what they make it out to be. In C++ they would have just caught an exception and there would be no surprises.
my morning routine: wake up at 4am, ice bath, journal about my "wins", neglect everyone who loves me, listen to a podcast about how the greeks were shredded, go to bed angry
One of the finest investigative journalists of our times, a veteran of CBS news foibles himself, has posted a definitive explainer -- with deep context -- of the "60 Minutes" takedown by "oligarch functionary" Bari Weiss.

A story in two parts.
#cats

A photo of a grey and white tuxedo cat with a who me look on her face. She has the remnants of a paper bag and handle around her neck.
A paper bag full of bags of cat treats, but the bag is torn and one of the handles is missing.
We used to be a real country
@thomasfuchs
yes, Japan... 😂
It is illegal to leave Eritrea for people between the ages of 5 to 55 [...]there is indefinite conscription into the military starting at 16, with no end in sight, where people can spend decades laboring with little to no pay and little food. Oganizations such as the United Nations have rightfully called this modern day slavery. And during times of war, such as now, the penalty for attempting to escape can be death, with a shoot to kill policy for those caught crossing the border, often minors.
@timnitGebru The Horn of Africa is purposely kept in a state of political and economic turmoil by the West. Local people gaining control of the Red Sea shipping lanes would be a disaster for western capitalists; look what Ansar Allah (Houthis) manage to accomplish with a few rockets the past two years.
Working full time on the Social Web
In January 2026, I will begin working full time in my role as Director at the Social Web Foundation. I am looking forward to the challenge of growing this young non-profit and fulfilling our mission to make a bigger, better Fediverse.
As a refresher: I have been working in the area of federated social networks since starting Identi.ca in 2008. Federated social networks are social platforms that let users on one platform connect to and interact with users on another platform. Linked up with open standard protocols, these platforms together form a Social Web that puts people first.
In 2018, I was a co-author of the ActivityPub standard for social network interoperability. I currently maintain the spec for the W3C and develop extensions for it. In 2024, I wrote ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web for O’Reilly Media. And I co-founded the Social Web Foundation to further encourage the use of ActivityPub in social networks.
For the last year, I’ve been working nights, lunchtimes and weekends on SWF while holding down my full-time role as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation. I love working at OEF; the organization build Open Source software to help cities fight climate change. I have felt very fulfilled in my work there, and I’ve made really strong friendships with the team. It’s been a very special place to work that has changed how I think teams can be.
But over the last year, SWF has had some really amazing opportunities, and in 2026 we’ll be making some big steps forward for the Social Web. I can’t keep doing both jobs, and I feel like, after 4 years at OEF, I’ve done what I can to build up that organization, and I am ready to start on this next one.
It will feel good to have my full attention focused on the Social Web. I’m looking forward to seeing my Open Source friends at FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels at the end of January where I’m helping to organize the Social Web track. I’m speaking at Princeton mid-February, and I’ll be in the Bay Area at the beginning of March. All this time, I’ll be working hard to get the next version of ActivityPub released and to push out several software projects to make the Social Web more fun and interesting.
Thanks to everyone who’s put time, effort and help into the SWF. Thanks to my coworkers at OEF for encouraging me on my next steps in my career. Thanks to my wife and family for tolerating yet another leap into the void.
I hope you have as exciting a New Year as I will.
@evanprodromou congratulations, and thank you!

So ein Jahresrückblick eines wissenschaftlichen Blogs ist ja allenfalls die halbe Wahrheit. Hier zu Teilen des Restes: https://spinfocl.substack.com/p/altjahresaufarbeitung #HysteronProteron

The anti-alarmists e.g. Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Bret Stephens, Corey Robin, Jon Stewart, David Brooks, William Watson, John Harris, Simon Jenkins, Zachary Karabell, Josh Barro, and Noah Feldman — scolded & derided the Cassandras. Going forward, we should be skeptical of giving them & others like them our attention when they pooh pooh people fighting against obvious racism, fascism, and kleptocracy etc etc yup <-- read the whole thing https://newrepublic.com/article/204254/survey-2024-election-cassandras-trump-2025
@coder @david_chisnall @technomancy i don't think "ignore the spammers" has ever worked in history and it's not clear why you think it would.
What an amazing day!
Until this year, I had never had a video with more than 12,000 views. But my latest video has reached 33,700 views in just 24 hours, and close to half of all the external traffic is from the Fediverse.
This is a mindblowingly good result for a small YouTube channel like mine. I am completely flabbergasted, and very grateful.
Thank you for this wonderful reception! ♥️
It was well done and really hot the mail on the head. It needs several million views from the US alone. We can hope.
Since I am less and less a drinker in recent years, and never was a huge alcohol consumer, I had forgotten what's up in the world and was vaguely puzzled about the disappearance of most of the spiced rum that I prefer to splash in a once-yearly holiday eggnog binge.
Then this reminded me. As much as I care not for the dumbassery of our current gaggle of premiers, the provincial variants of liquor control boards are totally within their rights to sell what they want.
US distillers can suck it up and work on their domestic problems, maybe?
But this was a reminder that buyers have power, too - if we're not *buying* US distillery products, there's no reason LCBO/SAQ/NSLB/other prov. chains should be bothering to bring it in.
Incidentally, Cabot Trail makes and damned awesome, RUM_BASED, Maple Cream liqueur that's just damn fine in eggnog.
Or just in a coffee. Thanks, Nova Scotia!
@woozle I expect dmidecode will tell you.
@bthylafh Yesh! About 2/3 of the way down several screens of stuff about memory and CPU, it says this is a Surface Pro 7. TIL. 🎉
OH "I can't stop doing the GTA V stripper emote"

Liebes #Fediverse! Zum Schluss vielleicht was weniger verdrießliches:
Habt ihr in diesem Jahr #Kultur genossen? Dann würde ich mich freuen, wenn ihr mir sagt, was eure Kultur-Highlights #2025 waren (ohne Film und Kino).
