Bit of an “end of an era” for me Have been heavily involved in administering the community-based, not-for-profit daycare my kids have attended for the last 4 years Kids are now (soon to be) no longer attending, growing up So it’s time for me to pass the baton Definitely moments in the 100s of hours when I questioned whether it was worth it, but upon reflection very proud to have been involved and to have made a big impact A bit more time to continue building up the local Bitcoin scene in Perth and WA soon!!

Parallels was up for renewal today. ~AU$140/year Used to use it a lot when I was working in different roles but now only used for a single VM. Took a bit of effort to get up and running but switched to UTM - open source. Bit embarrassed it took so long for the switch. While I was at it I also got rid of some other software that I know has heaps of telemetry and could be considered somewhat user-hostile: - Raycast - I’d already switched back to Alfred recently - Warp - now using Ghostty

Up and running with my first production peer-observer box…

My 2026 in “3 M”s Meditation - create more time and space and calm the monkey brain down Math - it’s been almost 20 years since I did much math during undergrad physics and my math brain has completely atrophied Monitoring - I’m working on the Bitcoin monitoring challenge, looking to support @b10c in his heroic efforts of many years

Best gift I gave this year, a silent Bitcoin miner (designed in Perth, WA no less!!) 2 of 3 already up and hashing, the other not yet home. Recipients were super engaged and excited

Merry Christmas 🎅🏿 🎄 In for a seemingly typical Christmas Day in Perth today, 40°C

Squats are the standard It’s amazing how much better my back feels the day after doing squats

Zaps are the standard (or at least should be)

Gonna have a decent crop of suburban grapes this summer
