As promised, we wrote an article about the #fediverse and decentralization of the Internet. tl;dr -> The prospect of returning the Internet to its decentralized roots are brighter than they have been in a long time. With lots of links to dig deeper. 🧵

#BlwyddynNewyddDda pawb. Dw i'n dysgu #Cymraeg (diolch am Lenyddiaeth Cymru) a dw i'n gorfod ymarfer bob dydd!

Apologies for any mistakes. I'm actually learning for the second time. I have a Welsh GCSE but I grew up around Brecon and no-one I knew actually spoke it. I want to be able to write creatively yn Gymraeg as well as in English, even if it takes me a long time to get there. This is my new year's resolution: I'll post something yn Gymraeg every day in 2023. Wish me luck!

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Rather brilliant from The Register on the constant nagging that makes up so much of the modern computing experience. Marred only slightly by their non-compliant cookie notice ;-)

I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!

✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default

✔️ I want the country to own it.

expect wobbly uptime on libreboot.org today, or at least the next few hours from now, 12:08 UK time, 1 January 2023:

I'm messing with routing tables, on the L2TP tunnel router that hosts libreboot.org

I'm experimenting with redundant internet for libreboot.org. I'm making it so that it reliably re-routes all traffic via another internet, when the main one goes down.

iproute2 is a bit fiddly

Fiction to look out for in 2023 - With new work from Richard Ford, Lorrie Moore and Zadie Smith, plus second novels by Caleb Azumah Nelson and Guy Gunaratne, this is shaping up to be a memorable 12 monthsNonfiction to look out for in 2023During the lockdown years, I kept reading articles by novelists saying how unproductive they were feeling, how virus narratives had colonised their subconscious... #theguardian

@zleap @nasa I came here to say this, but also 2023 is not a leap year.

As Croatia is joining the Eurozone, Liberapay is, for the first time, dropping support for a currency.

- The Croatian Kuna (HRK) has now disappeared from donation forms.
- All existing donations and scheduled payments in that currency have been converted to the Euro.
- All accounts which had the Kuna as their main currency have been switched to the Euro.

Congratulations to Croatia, and happy new year to everyone! 🥳
