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.

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.

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.

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:

Once again, my post on BlueSky got more engagement than on Twitter.
bsky.app/profile/en.s...

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.

If you’re a JS dev, here’s one simple change to improve your security: disable postinstall scripts in your npm package manager.

postinstall is the main vector for supply chain attacks from node_modules, but most packages don’t need it.

Notifications from an iPhone on third-party smartwatches will only work in the EU, writes the creator of Pebble Watch.

Apple closed the API to eliminate competition with Apple Watch. Only EU government regulation restored user choice and market competition.

Svelte, as usual, has a very interesting Advent calendar showcasing new platform features.

For example, I learned about the new attach syntax there, which simplifies onMount.

An interesting idea: the human brain’s actual bandwidth may be just 10–20 bits per second.

Most of our cognitive machinery may essentially be a giant compression system.

And with the upcoming exhibition, it’s the perfect time to revisit our favorite Lyskowets photos.

On December 20–21 in Barcelona there will be a photo exhibition by Anastasia Lyskowets, the same photographer whose work has been featured a lot on @friday.sitnik.ru.

Come by if you’re around. My wife and I will be at the opening as well.

Slowly going through the list of children’s railways from the Catalonia small-railways enthusiasts’ passport.

This weekend we went to Vilanova i la Geltrú, which also has a railway museum and amazing oceanfront.

I often hear people say the Second Demographic Transition is some kind of natural process.

But over the past 50 years we’ve systematically made the world less friendly to parenting: higher expectations, no large families to help, no early experience.

Strange to see that for US rights the main enemy is EU, not Russia or China.

As if it’s never been about free speech, but about wanting a world where power rules. So China and Russia become their friends, and EU values their foes.

A story about how the Chinese Techno phones took over the African market while we know nothing about them.

It’s fascinating how deeply they integrated into the market and what unique features they offered for Africa (like 4 SIM cards).
