• I am finding the performance of [[Thunderbird]] to be terrible.
  • Connecting it to Zoho Mail via IMAP.
  • I’m just going through my inbox and deleting emails and it regularly takes a CPU to 100%.
  • Might try Betterbird… but will just stick with the webmail for this for now. Something clearly not right when a webapp is performing better than a desktop app.

• Great Saturday!
• We had a great morning and went to the gym with [[KM]] and then I took a nap with [[Lady Burup]] and met [[VK]], then…
• I met [[Claudia]] and [[Andreas]] at [[KM]]‘s home for dinner and then we went to their flat and to [[ZW]], it was great.
• I also found a note of interest in [[ZW]], and when I turned it around I found:
  • [[Urs + Miranda]]
  • [[Gaudi Labs]]
• [[Agora demo]] :)

  • Quite a rush, but I learned a lot in the process.

• Of any assertion, it can be asked: is it
  • [[True to self]]?
    • Which self?

• Now that I’ve got Emacs back up and running on my phone, I can try and get an entry in for the February Emacs Carnival.

• I had to get a new phone, as my Pixel 5a spontaneously bricked itself.

  • I got a [[Fairphone 6]].
  • I usually get second hand or refurbished phones, but here’s [[My rationale for getting a Fairphone 6]].

• Going through the process of getting things set up on a new phone.

  • My notes in my digital garden are massively helpful for this. Well done past self!
  • They’re a bit scattered though - I’ll try and update them into one page about it..
    • [[Setting up a new phone]].

• Trying out Vulpea.

The things you don't write are left unwritten
The things you don't say, unsaid
The things you don't show, unseen

For how long, maybe?
Until when?

• We had such a beautiful day with [[KM]]! And [[Lady Burup]].
• We went to the gym together for the first time in the morning, and then did a great walk through Zürich hopping from coffee place to coffee place and enjoying the [[sunshine]].
• Yesterday: [[2026-02-23]]

Algún día, algún día
Algún día haremos la revolución
Pero si no ahora, cuándo?

• Noding this in my new laptop [[avalokiteshvara]] while visiting [[ZWZ]] :)
  • Last visit before going on a trip, likely starting on Tuesday night.
• Earlier this weekend I spent time with [[KM]] and [[Lady Burup]] and it was wonderful, even though I woke up with a headache (hopefully the last in this cluster) on Saturday morning.

• 7 ~ [[Avalokiteshvara]] in the [[Flancia]] pattern language :)
• Had a great day with [[KM]]! Despite sleeping little and waking up with a strong headache again — unsure at this point if it’s viral or what is called a [[cluster headache]].

• [[Work]] was interesting despite being still half sick.
• [[Social.coop]] was great, we finally shipped [[1k characters limit]] after long! \o/
• [[Collected Poetry]] after long!

• Back noding!
  • I’m writing this in [[Bitwäscherei]]. The [[Agora]] is being demoed live for the first time! And I’ve met lots of cool people as usual :)
  • I spent Friday and Saturday with [[KM]] and it was great despite our health not being tip top at times :)
  • I feel more than lucky; right now, [[blessed]].
• Work has been fine actually; I was oncall this week and was sick two days but I pushed through and felt quite at ease despite sleeping too little.
• [[Las Jaras]] was special as expected!
  • I threw [[7]] * [[2^9]] over five dice, notable.
  • [[2063]] made an appearance
  • I ran [[collect]] after planning to for long and it felt cathartic! The [[chaos stack]] which was a bunch of literal back of the envelopes going back to 2024 was reviewed/distilled into a notebook and thus can be put away (or, as indicated in some of the envelopes as intention, [[burnt]].)
• Came after [[2026-01-31]]
• Saw [[Koch]]! And [[Aaron]] and many others.
• [[return]]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hQIxUfYw98
  • maybe during the week with [[KM]]? :)

• [[Las Jaras]]!
  • We were not completely healthy, [[KM]] and me currently, but I enjoyed living these days together!
  • I was home until midnight with [[KM]] (who went home in the afternoon) and [[Lady Burup]] and then went to [[Zentralwäscherei]] and I loved it.
  • I ran some [[collect]] I had planned for long (more about this tomorrow…).
  • I updated the [[moodboard]].
  • And coded and enjoyed!

2026-01-31

• Trying to finish off [[Emacs Carnival: This year I’ll…]] today.

  • Last day to submit!

• [[Adding shortcuts for entering email addresses in Heliboard]]

• Back to noding!
• Fixed a security vulnerability (to spam) in the Agora.

2026-01-17

• Went to the webinar [[Revisiting The Innovation Delusion — Conversation with Andrew Russell]] held by [[The Maintainers]].

• I met [[Omega Attraktor]] again today in [[ZW]]! Nice to see them, looking forward to listening to their music.
• Work after the break started fine actually, even though today I didn’t sleep that well for some reason I still had enough energy to go through the first meeting-packed day.

• Noding, #noding, [[noding]]…
  • I don’t know precisely how well the streak is going but I’m happy to be back noding at least a bit every day, most days :)

• Personal life is going beautifully, there was a small setback with a health issue affecting a loved one but things are looking up now!
• My trip to [[Napoli]] with friends was amazing.
• It was beautiful to be reunited with [[KM]] and [[Lady Burup]]!
• I found [[I don’t want my tool to tell me how to think]] very interesting, thank you [[@scalingsynthesis]]!
  • It also inspired me to fix some longstanding Agora bugs with [[canonical wikilinks]] (what we render in [[Agora Server]]…

• Will try to keep up the streak :)
• Saw [[KM]] after the trip and it was lovely! Unfortunately she’s been sick but now feeling better.
• I did [[Return]] day 1 as starting practice for the year and it was great.

• Back home!
• And back journaling, I will try to start a one week streak today :)

• [[Org Social]] has strong [[IndieWeb]] vibes.

  • P2P, host on your own site, etc.
  • I think it relies more on relays though. I don’t think you could directly mention someone like you would with a webmention.

• I also like that you choose an emoji for reactions, rather than a generic like. Like [[CTZN]] did it.

  • I think that’s a good way to allow reactions while avoiding algorithm pandering.

• Happy new year to all!
• Started the year with friends and loved ones at home; then saw fireworks together from [[Kaferberg]]; then went to [[Zentralwäscherei]] and greeted cool and interesting people.

• Moved out successfully
  • Had to do a bunch of renovations in the room, but now it’s quite cozy
  • Do miss the birds hanging out in the window of the old place
• Finally settled on a [[komorebi]] config
  • Tiling window managers rock!
  • Altho they really don’t play well with some apps like game launchers and such
• Happy new years!
  • Obligatory resolution to make more nodes [[?]]

2025-12-31

• I was trying to set up [[Org Social]].
  • As per the post [[Emacs Carnival: The people of Emacs]], I think it’ll be a good way to be more active in the Emacs community.
  • But it requires Emacs 30.1.
  • I’m only on Emacs 29.
  • Upgrade ahoy!

• [[Berni]] me hizo recordar que quiero convencer a los PMs de Meet para que agreguen un feature en el tier gratuito.

2025-12-30

• I learned about grease.el via [[Emacs News]].
  • Allows file operations by editing a buffer.
  • Then I learned from the comments in that Reddit thread about wdired and similar capabilities.
  • I just tried it, and it’s perfect for solving the problem I have of org-roam’s addition of a timestamp to the front of filenames, and how messy that is when I publish to the web, for those that were created a while ago before I changed how that works. (Or those created on mobile in Doom where I still haven’t changed it).
  • With wdired I can select a rectangle of all those parts of the filenames in the buffer, and delete them, save the buffer, et volia, all the filenames updated! Neat.
  • I have a niggling feeling that one day I may regret removing timestamps from filenames. Some people seem to prefer it that way. But I really don’t like filenames being used to store meta information.

• [[free instruments]]
• I worked from home; spent time with [[Lady Burup]]; played [[Minecraft]] with [[bouncepaw]]; then did grocery shopping for New Years and went to [[KM]]‘s place.

• What a great start to the day in [[Bitwäscherei]], and then what a beautiful day at home with Burup!
  • Coded, wrote, talked with my mum, played with Burup, and just generally tried to flow.

• I had a lovely walk with [[AG]] today and a quick dinner, and then went to [[Zentralwäscherei]].

• Met:
  • Some cool people on the rooftop of [[Zentralwäscherei]], including a girl named something like [[Katja]] and her two cool friends.
  • [[Moritz]] after midnight in [[Bitwäscherei]].
  • I also saw [[Marc]] and [[Aaron]] after long!
  • I’m so glad I came back to [[SGMK]] finally; it just kept slipping because of work and commitments, it seems I needed a long weekend to get pressing things done and reboot priorities :)
• Then slept ~6h roughly from 6am to 12am and woke up rested enough :)
• Played [[Minecraft]] with [[KI]] and it was great!
• Then flowed.
• Ran again into [[What is Life?]] by [[Schrödinger]], decided to actually locate a URL where I could read it.
  • Found [[archive]] https://archive.org/details/whatislifephysic0000schr/page/n5/mode/2up
• [[Feynman x 3]]

• Very nice day at home with Burup :)
• Ended up working 8h on projects and making good progress, which felt great! Pretty much as planned.
• Then in the evening I went back to [[Bitwäscherei]]/[[SGMK]] after long and it felt great as well, I hadn’t been back much since April (?) because of travel/work/personal life and my under-prioritizing. I intend to come back more often now!
• [[2025-12-26]]

• Skipped a few? But I’ve been having fun you could say.
• Work is finally calming down as we go into the [[prod freeze]]! Looking forward.
• Feeling quite free, relieved of burdens.
• Worried about some health issues in the family, but staying optimistic and trying to value what we have.

• I just thought of [[suffering]] and what would amount to [[rational suffering]].
  • Think of the suffering of the beings that die to feed others: some of that suffering is justified inasmuch it enables other conscious beings to subsist and negotiate ethical [[tradeoffs]] of their own.
  • When it is kept to a minimum, of course, we seem to arrive at the ethical optimum.
  • Think of worms getting grown and harvested for feed, but also of the beautiful bird hunted by the cat and the fish who die in the nets of [[fisherpeople]].
  • See also: [[trolley science]].
• I also worked and planned the week and did [[Agora]].
• Two days of Agora journaling in a row? Is such a thing even possible? :)

• I finally finished the migration from ‘main’ to ‘master’ for the Agora root, belatedly :)
• I had a great day on [[2025-12-13]] with [[KM]] and [[Lady Burup]]. Thank you!
• New Agora signup! Welcome [[@matthieuG]] :)
• I did some [[Agora development]] with Gemini and made what felt like surprising progress on two of the main December objectives:
  • [[Easier signups]].
    • Completed: ‘join with your git repo’ now exists as a form, talks to [[agora server]] and that talks to the (privileged) [[agora bridge]].
  • [[Federation++]]
    • Completed: send /latest subnodes per user to followers we know of.

• A lovely Saturday with [[KM]] and [[Lady Burup]] at home. Relaxing and interesting. With [[KM]] we did a nice walk in Zürich in the cold weather, knowing it will just keep getting colder.
• The week was pretty brutal at work (3x presentations, 2x reviews, plus planning and some ad hoc meetingsd) — it feels great now that it’s in the past though. I feel I ‘survived’ the last tricky week of the work year; things should quiet down from now on as people start going into holidays mode.

2025-12-07

• Christmas 10k run 2025.
  • Completed!

• I should check out [[org-gtd]].
  • From a quick first glance, it looks like a formalised way of doing much of what I’m already doing.
  • So it could be quite useful.
  • I’m wary of two things though:
    • Might be too formalised? Perhaps you can easily customise / extend.
      • The README suggests it written for someone who doesn’t want to be bothered with org-mode’s complexities. Hmm.
    • I tie heavily into org-roam for project reference material. I wonder how org-gtd works with that aspect of GTD.
  • Definitely worth looking further.

• [[I sometimes feel]]:
  • as if I’m [[struck by lightning]]
  • as if I’ve caught fire
  • we will go together until the dark of night
  • (do you know what I mean…?)

Busy working and happy; I’ve been told I look tired at times but recently got some good sleep through the holidays and I feel with high energy levels.
