I like both Stoic and Buddhist philosophy, electronics, IT, woodworking, and generally just pondering life. I also have been known to say Ni! and I like little white picket fences, not too big, not too small. Avoid salmon mousse.

New year coming, and with it, snow. Gävle, just 40 minutes up the road, is still recovering from the storm a few days ago, and now they're about to get a foot of snow dumped on them.
Will see how far down to here the heavy snowfall will come. At least snow makes it lighter outside

List of "new words" in Sweden/Swedish from 2025. And it is depressing reading.
That crap like "finfluencer", "six seven" and "skibidi" is put on the list is, to use another new word, "hjärnröta" (brain rot).
Sure, all languages borrow from other languages. But pick *good ones*!

This is why the "move fast and break things" proponents need to be derided and ridiculed relentlessly.
Because this is the direct result of that mentality. It's valuing profit and marketshare over safety (which is inherent in capitalism sans regulation).

Been busy today obtaining blueprints from assassination missions in Warframe. Got more to do (Equinox requiring quite a few runs of the same mission).

Come 2026 the name changes to MCF, Swedish civil defence and resilience agency.

Kraftigt snöfall, plötslig ishalka och mycket hårda vindbyar väntar när stormen Johannes nu rullar in över Sverige. Resenärer uppmanas att inte ge sig ut i trafiken i onödan – och bandvagnar har kallats in. ”Kan vara svårt att ta sig fram på vägar på grund av nedfallna träd och grenar”, skriver SMHI.

I've done a hefty chunk of the star-map, and done War Within, even killed off the Kuva Queen. But that's barely scratched the surface of the game.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

I think we are not yet at the point of Russian collapse but we are getting there. Russia is like a family with a bunch of credit cards, bank accounts, family jewels, some expensive cars etc. One by one they are emptying the accounts while the neighbors still see a rich family.

*Russia* should have settled for peace years ago. The problem is that it would have been fatal to Putin to do so, which is why they're still going.
Russian leaders that lose a war tend to have exceptionally short life expectancy.

Russia should have settled for peace as soon as their plans to conquer Kyiv had failed, but before they retreated from Kyiv Oblast. After that Russia has only been losing. As it is now Russia, the country not the armed forces, is breaking up more and more as time passes.

It might not run too well on a small Pi, but it'd be interesting to see how it fares on Milk-V Jupiter or Milk-V Pioneer.
The model I have resorted to the most is Cogito together with some Python to throw email threads at it to summarise. It works, but that's with a 10GB 3080 doing the lifting.

Decided to see if I could actually get DeepSeek-R1 up and running on a Raspberry Pi (it runs entirely offline, no big requests back to some big data center to eat up power)
1) It runs, but *Christ* is it slow. I'm not sure it'll replace the big fancy online versions if those go bust

If the other NATO members just quietly tell the USA that they accept USA's withdrawal from NATO and that they will move the NATO HQ out of USA as a matter of priority, do you think the USA regime would get the memo they shat in the blue cupboard one time too many?

Since Trump has threatened two loyal NATO members (Canada and Denmark) with military aggression, the NATO no longer exists, because it is based on trust.
The other NATO members should jointly tell the US that they regret that Trump has betrayed the alliance.

Ukraine Unveils “Ambush Drones” That Hunt From the Trees
A Ukrainian company is developing “ambush drones” designed to hide in trees under leaf cover, remaining dormant until a target appears. Once activated, the drone launches from concealment, turning forests into silent kill zones.
