New year, new gear.
Every year, in January, I treat myself with a new guitar. This year's pick is an Ibanez IC420FM, a.k.a Iceman.

In September, I visited the Musée Bolo on the EPFL campus in Lausanne (roughly 10 minutes from place). They have a great collection of old computers gathered in a hall. Access is fully free (donations are welcome).

I've been eyeing on the KEF LS50 since their introduction in 2012. Earlier this year, I finally decided to buy a pair of active LS50 Wireless II. They sound fantastic.
I paired them with a Kube 10 MIE subwoofer to add the subtle amount of bass they lack.

It's a great time to donate to organizations that matter to you.
My picks this year:
- @wikimedia.bsky.social
- @Let's Encrypt
- @vivaldibrowser.bsky.social
I'm focusing on tech this year, but there are obviously many other causes that need help.

I've switched to @vivaldibrowser.bsky.social, which has multi-platform sync (when servers work), and a built-in ad-blocker. And it supports Chrome extensions on desktop (I only need my password manager).
Super happy so

When switching email provider:
1. Get a custom domain, and opt for an email service that supports it. You won't have to change your email address if your provider dies.
2. Check that your new provider is not a VC-funded startup that will sell itself to the first bidder.
