    Sinopsis:

    Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

    Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

    Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

          Here is the CPU usage graph for the last 24 hours of the FediMeteo VM. A full 24 hours, during which a huge number of people are connecting, helped by the traction gained from being among the top stories on Hacker News and Lobsters, as well as the many shares across the Fediverse.

          RAM usage? Active, around 450 MB. Then there is cache, ARC, and so on. But in practice, zero swap in use after days of uptime.

          39 jails running, 39 snac instances, nginx serving the homepage, and HAProxy. HAProxy caching enabled. ZFS snapshots every 15 minutes, backups via zfs send and receive every hour. The same hourly schedule applies to the recalculation of cities, countries, and followers for the homepage.

          All of this on a 4 euro per month FreeBSD VM.

          If anyone has doubts about the quality and efficiency of FreeBSD, this is the data to show.

          Time series graph showing CPU usage percentage over roughly 24 hours. The x axis represents time from about 13:00 to 12:00 the next day, and the y axis shows CPU usage from 0 to 100 percent. CPU usage fluctuates mostly between 15 and 35 percent, with periodic rises during daytime and early morning hours. Several short spikes reach around 45 to 55 percent, and one brief peak climbs to about 60 percent. Usage drops to lower levels, around 10 to 20 percent, during late evening and early morning periods. Overall, the graph shows moderate, variable CPU load with occasional sharp peaks.

                    Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.

                    The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.

                                        I'm in love with The Sea. It's a bit strange, as I'm from Madrid; it's a dry and stubborn land as far from the sea as can be. Or, who knows, maybe that's the reason of my love, the love of the dispossesed, the love of the forsaken, the love of the abandoned; a loved one, a desired one, as far as can be. I wish I was by the shore, my sight lost in the flat horizon, my feet cold and wet, the engine of the sea drumming and roaring. I'm far away, but I'm reading Oceano mare by Alessandro Baricco and I see that we share The Sea as a lover, and reading his words (an art of words I will never be able to craft) I feel a bit better, a bit closer.

                                        Those of you near The Sea, you'll know that I envy you. Please, give my regards to the one I love, I will be there, who knows when.

Slop

Merriam-Webster's human editors have chosen slop as the 2025 Word of
the Year. We define slop as “digital content of low quality that is
produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” All that
stuff dumped on our screens, captured in just four letters: the English
language came through again.

The flood of slop in 2025 included absurd videos, off-kilter advertising
images, cheesy propaganda, fake news that looks pretty real, junky Al-
written books, “workslop” reports that waste coworkers’ time... and lots
of talking cats. People found it annoying, and people ate it up.

Jason and his companions were informed that the women of Lemnos had killed all of them; fathers, husbands, sons. Some time ago, a strange frenzy had motivated all males to travel to Thrace, abduct women from there, make them their spouses and bring them back to the island. All native women responded with violence: the massive killing was one of anger and jealousy and outrage. Jason, after begging for an elaboration on the cause of that frenzy, was told that the men of Lemnos had accused all women of heresy because of an awful smell emanating from their private parts. Finally Hypsipyle, queen of Lemnos, explained that the hideous odor were given as a curse to women by the anger of Aphrodite, offended by their lack of offerings and worshiping. The Argonauts stayed in the island for a long time (even years, according to some sources) and cohabited with the women of Lemnos; we can only guess that by then the bad smell was gone or that it was not that awful after all.

                                                                                      There is an apocryphal saying that the women of Lemnos stopped worshiping Aphrodite because they were dreaming about a bunch of handsome men on a fancy boat that were to arrive to the island on a humid and sunny day.

Cervantes, while creating the first modern novel, he also created the first postmodern novel, with its three narrators and the fourth wall breaking and all that.

Even more so if they're going through something.

                                                                                                                                "So you are Miroslav Corbett", said the warden, a bald, sweaty man with a ridiculous mustache. "I got a message from an angry bureaucrat from the government saying that you were about to come here. You have very important friends up there."

                                                                                                                                "Oh, I don't think so."

                                                                                                                                He looked at me with disdain in his face.

                                                                                                                                "Listen to me, young man. We are very busy here. I'm sure you don't understand the very important job that we..."

                                                                                                                                I interrupted him.

                                                                                                                                "I'm sorry, warden Riccitelli. I'm here for a very specific thing. I'd rather not be here, believe me. I don't want to waste your time. I'm only interested in one of your inmates. Just a short interview in her cell."

                                                                                                                                "What for?"

                                                                                                                                "As it says on my business card, I document things."

                                                                                                                                "What kind of things?"

                                                                                                                                "I keep a log of out-of-place happenings, reality distortions, unexpected presences and such. The duty of my department is to document the bizarre things that happen since the Great Anomaly..."

                                                                                                                                "Oh don't talk me about the Great Fucking Anomaly."

                                                                                                                                "I don't want to talk about it neither. I just need to meet a person that is incarcerated here. I just want to talk to Desdemona Dunkelmorgen."

                                                                                                                                He looked very upset or surprised or whatever.

                                                                                                                                "What? No way", he said. "She is the most dangerous person here. She is the most dangerous person in the whole fucking world. And I won't risk my resources by putting anyone of them near that damned bitch from hell."

                                                                                                                                "Do your employees know that you call them 'resources'?"

                                                                                                                                Warden Riccitelli took a ceramic ashtray from his table and launched it onto the wall. It exploded into pieces.

                                                                                                                                "Listen to me, little bastard..."

                                                                                                                                "Mr. Riccitelli," I interrupted him in my quietest voice while browsing my papers, "I know everything. Desdemona Dunkelmorgen, aka the Queen of Deception, aka the Mistress of Disguise, aka One-Trouble-On-Two-Legs. Born in Madrid, Spain. Who would say, bearing that name? Con artist, mischievous robber, ruthless blackmailer, despicable criminal, drinks while driving. Previous warden report: 'Handle with special care. Do NOT listen to her lies. She could be anywhere, anyone. She could be me or she could be you and you will not notice.' I'm not sure to understand what this last quote means."

                                                                                                                                "Damn. Holy Christ. I won't send my men to her cell because she will trick those dickheads and everything will go to hell again. I don't want another prison break from that motherfucking vixen. I will go there with you personally."

                                                                                                                                "I'm sure that is a very intelligent decision on your part."

                                                                                                                                "Come on, let's do it once for all."

                                                                                                                                He grabbed his own copy of the keys and we went down the belly of the prison. While on our way, I asked:

                                                                                                                                "Is it true what they say about her?"

                                                                                                                                "What do they say?"

                                                                                                                                "That she looks like no other woman in the world."

                                                                                                                                He took some time to answer. "To be honest, I don't know how she looks like."

                                                                                                                                "Haven't you seen her?"

                                                                                                                                "Not personally."

                                                                                                                                Not personally, I repeated to myself. What a douchebag.

                                                                                                                                We crossed the threshold to the hyper-ultra-high security block or whatever they called it and finally got to her cell's door.

                                                                                                                                "Ok, here we are", he said, "Be extremely careful."

                                                                                                                                "I'll be."

                                                                                                                                He unlocked the gate and we entered the cell. A small, barred window almost by the ceiling. Grey and dull walls. A dirty toilet. A chair and a table, no features. And nobody to be seen.

                                                                                                                                "What the fuck...?", he yelled, "But where...?"

                                                                                                                                He searched for her like crazy while swearing like a sailor: under the table, under the bed, as if she was as small as a mouse. Then he got back at me, his face red and swollen and sweaty:

                                                                                                                                "Why are you so calm? What the hell is happening here?"

                                                                                                                                "Have you heard the adage that the highest achievement of the devil was convincing men that he doesn't exist? Well, they don't call Desdemona Dunkelmorgen the Queen of Deception for nothing. She tricked you, all of you, into believing that she was here. She made you believe that you were able to catch her. In fact, it's a little more complicated; the highest achievement of Desdemona Dunkelmorgen was convincing men that she DOES exist. She is a trick of the mind. She is a glitch, a mirage. She is something that isn't and that shouldn't be."

                                                                                                                                Warden Riccitelli dropped to the floor, crying like a child.

                                                                                                                                "Oh my. I'm finished. Everybody will laugh at me for years."

                                                                                                                                "They'll do", I said, "but don't be too mean to yourself. Everybody was mislead. These illogical issues are overwhelming. All we can do is write about how this unfaithful reality is playing with us."

                                                                                                                                He jumped up in an explosion of rage, ran to the passage and started yelling at everybody.

                                                                                                                                "What are you doing there? Do something! Find her! Nuke this fucking place from above! It's the only way to be sure!"

                                                                                                                                "I'm afraid I have to leave", I said, but he was no longer listening to me.

                                                                                                                                It was a quiet evening out there. The parking lot at Saint Boniface was almost empty. I wrote some ideas on my notebook, not completely sure that I wasn't Desdemona Dunkelmorgen after all.

                                                                                                                                  Thanks to and the jail setup, it was easy peasy.

                                                                                                                                  So, the weather forecasts are now broadcast from Italy and the performance has skyrocketed - while still being served by a 4 euro/month VPS.

                                                                                                                                  I suspect the netcup VM had been capped by the provider - but I'll investigate.

                                                                                                                                    In the past few days FediMeteo seemed to be having some performance trouble. I dug into it and only found minor issues, until I realised the VM itself had fallen off a cliff. After several reboots it became clear that both bandwidth and I/O latency had dropped to absurd levels. I suspect the provider slapped a cap on it.

                                                                                                                                    So I took the chance to move everything to another VM and provider, still at 4 euro per month. And starting today, forecasts will be delivered straight from Italy. The performance jump feels like going from a storm to clear skies.

                                                                                                                                    FediMeteo’s mission goes on. More countries are coming (stay tuned!) and we will keep aiming to serve everything from a 4 euro VM. I do have powerful hardware available, but proving that the project can run on tiny resources is still part of the mission.

                                                                                                                                              Today I read that a historic brand like Crucial - I own plenty of their hardware, including SSDs - is dropping consumer products to focus on gear for those same datacenters.
                                                                                                                                              The result (or maybe the intention?) is to push people away from self hosting, undermine the OwnYourData idea and make everyone depend on huge datacenters for life.

                                                                                                                                              So much for owning your data.
                                                                                                                                              So much for decentralisation.

                                                                                                                                              Because taking down one giant datacenter is far easier than taking down thousands or millions of individual nodes.

                                                                                                                                              Friends and colleagues, don’t trade your freedom for a bit of convenience. Once you give it away, getting it back is very hard.

                                                                                                                                                                Classical poet Ovid once asked each one of his friends to choose, from a poem of him, three verses they considered the worst and that were to be deleted; also, he told them that he also had chosen three verses himself that were not to be deleted, no matter what. When they finally met, it was found that everyone, even Ovid himself, had selected the same three verses. Seneca the Elder tells this story to explain that authors know the problems about their own works, but that they don't bother to fix them. He does not explain further if this is because creators know better or because they are arrogant boneheads.

                                                                                                                                                                There is a different telling of this story that says that, when everybody met, nobody had chosen the same verses; because of this, after deletion, the poem was left with only three lines, the ones chosen by Ovid. He was not upset, though, because he saw it coming: the slaughtered text showed Latin words for "My friends are a bunch of hateful motherfuckers".

Según mi experiencia personal, la gente de derechas no considera comportamientos inaceptables lucrarse obscenamente aprovechándose de la necesidad de otros ni evadir impuestos. De hecho, para ellos es parte del éxito personal y profesional.
