"Year of fear" is a good description for 2025. I don't want to watch the news anymore, because it ruins my mood for the day. Let's hope that 2026 will bring some peace, but I have my doubts.
Anyway: Happy new year! Even if it must sound like pure sarcasm to the ukrainian soliders.

I stopped "watching" the news after the towers of the World Trade Center fell. And I can confirm, it gives me a lot more peace of mind. It does not help the world a whee bit, if I'm not alive myself. And it is still better to teach someone how to use Linux or bash or microcontrollers rather than sitting in some dark corner hoping for rescue --- whatever that would be.
Assuming it's you, I really liked that bit about "emailing post to your blog is creative", "but what's the problem with lazyvim/git/shell?" :-) I do use emacs/git/magit/shell/make to "make" it all happen :) --- "make" was the first real tool I learned way back in 1991 or so. According to my ~/.emacs.d/init.el I started using emacs 1993-02-01. :-) And I'm still using it daily.
Cheers!
