A bit more Spanish data showing that the decline in birth rates is not just a “natural second demographic transition” or simply “people don’t want kids”:

— 72% of women aged 25–29 want to have ≥2 children.
— Egg freezing is being used 4× more often.

tsgo can already be used instead of regular TypeScript.

I added it to a large project, including Svelte and everything works. The speed-up is very noticeable.

The new Pebble Round 2 looks really interesting.

Two weeks of battery life, a large and open ecosystem, an e-ink display, and physical buttons.

An interesting video about how a circuit breaker works.

Overall, this is an interesting channel that goes into great detail when breaking down engineering systems and explains the fundamentals.

I changed the switches in the Lofree Flow Lite to Kailh Deep Sea Whale Fall.

This mechanical keyboard is one of the quietest, but that was achieved only with linear Hades switches.

Now Kailh has released compatible switches that are just as quiet, but with a tactile bump.

The best Chinese films of 2025.

We keep pushing back against Hollywood’s dominance and seeing what other cultures have to say.

Rose Noir Theatre put on beautiful kinky performances in France and Belgium @friday.sitnik.ru

In January, my wife and I are going to see their show in Toulouse

The full film is longer, and it’s more about a conflict with the French tradition (where Santa is called Papa Noël).

But it’s genuinely sad to see how globalization erases unique Spanish and Catalan culture: every year there’s more Santa and less of their own traditions.

Christmas isn’t celebrated the same way in the West.

In Spain, traditionally, instead of a Christmas tree and Santa Claus, there’s a Nativity scene and the Three Wise Men (caga tió in Catalonia).

There’s even a short film about this clash of cultures:

A new season of Golden Kamuy anime is coming out in the new year!

It’s a very cool anime about Ainu culture in Japan.

Our open-source ecosystem grew to 123 projects, with 6 new launches this year (including a strong debut from AgentPrism). Community love pushed us to 180k GitHub stars, with +17k in 2025 alone.

Most supply chain attacks are at their most dangerous on the first day.

So a good package manager should have an option to show only versions that are at least a day old (pnpm and Bun have this).

actions-up (for GitHub Actions CI) has this too:

A detailed step-by-step explanation of how modern chips are made (presented in a way that’s actually understandable by using an older 45 nm process as the example)

Once again, my post on BlueSky got more engagement than on Twitter.

Looks like the frontend community was able to move to BlueSky.

If you’re also annoyed by how Twitter has recently started pushing the “For You” feed, give BlueSky a try.

Does anyone use immich.app (a Google Photos alternative that can run on a home server)?

Looks like it even has a smart search.

Google’s prices and the risk of losing all your photos don’t feel great.

I’ve been using Zed for more than a month now, love it. Just setup television cli as task in Zed to do a telescope alternative, that was easy and so cool to setup.
