It’s almost time to say farewell to the MetroCard and to 2025. But where do you go when the swipes go out? Tap and ride on your way to the Garden for Phish’s annual NYE run and listen up for Trey’s announcements in the subway system on your way there!

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System

This is a total stab in the dark for my #phillies fan friends out there.
Ages ago (15+ years) the Phils sold this Phanatic ornament. My brother and his family had one they loved, but lost along with everything else in the CA fires last year. I can't find one anywhere online.
Anyone have any leads?

This is generally why I don’t play games more complicated than TF2. If I don’t play for a couple days I have NO CLUE what I was doing. I liked Zelda a lot, but even that I couldn’t figure out what the objectives were (or how to find them) after I put it down for a week.

What’s in a log, or rather what’s not in a log? Bruce talks his thoughts on a recent report by Unit 42 on the use of AzureHound by threat actors, and how logs failed to showcase the full extent of the attack.

New on the blog! A really nice unofficial diagram of the tram network of The Hague, The Netherlands.
Submission – Unofficial Map: Trams of The Hague, The Netherlands by Hugo von der Thüsen
Submitted by the designer, Hugo, who says: I have always been ashamed of the official transit diagram for the tram system of The Hague [PDF link – Cam]. It’s a weird A4-shaped portrait diagram oriented so that the beach is at the top which is a strange choice as most residents of The Hague would tell you they think the beach is to the West/left.
