worthwhile doctorow talk i found this morning: A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (a speech at 39C3 in Hamburg on Dec 28, 2025) transcript & download:
January is over, and it is finally getting somewhat warmer, though there is still a thick crust of ice everywhere. I had a few little mishaps from the storm including punching some holes in my nice asphalt deck while trying to clear snow-crusts, my bee-shed tried to collapse, and my wooden snow-plow broke(pics in last month). Also, i'm still working on getting all the materials for filtering beeswax and making candles(will show more pics when i'm done). The dog'o really enjoyed the snow. We had some thick ice on the pond, though i didn't really get much time for skating, as i was occupied pretty wholely plowing snow on the tractor. It still looked pretty thick when i drove past this morning, though the temp today is in the 40's and i'm not sure how long it will last things keep being warm. In other news, my primary doctor is retiring. I was pretty impressed since switching to him a few years back. It's too bad healthcare is such a zoo - hopefully the next guy is just as good. So far though, i have had a good experience with everyone i have met at BRMC. Anyway, hopefully i make some progress on stuff this month!
