Winterrail 2025/26

And so it starts! Since yesterday and until January 4th I will be travelling around Europe exclusively by train, carrying with me my lovely foldable bike.

Stops:

  • Paris (at @mario’s 💕), but also having lovely conversations with @giovannicerboni
  • Barcelona (for the yearly gathering of the youth movements in @bancaetica Italy and Spain)
  • Marseille, because going straight back to Italy was a bit too much in one go, so I will just hand out and chill.
  • Sanremo, to spend Christmas with my family (even though on 21-22 December we will be doing a full-immersion planning with the staff of @scambi)
  • Hamburg, for #39C3 😍
  • Berlin, for New Year’s Eve with @dario 💜 No energy for that any more 😢 (see below)
  • Back to Rotterdam to start XPUB’s Special Issue 29 yeeeaaaah

I will be (trying to) keep this page and this thread updated with what’s happening.

Everything is Rent

The virtual representation of the mess inside Tommi’s mind

Tommi’s mind

Leg 1: Rotterdam Centraal → Paris Nord

I slept at @mario, and I became friend with their cat Benny aka Benoit aka Benedetto, a sweet and cuddly being, even if I am allergic. I survived.

Leg 2: Paris Gare de Lyon → Barcelona Sants

Somebody was run over by a train, so got to Barcelona 2h late. Now in Plaça de Catalunya waiting for the gang from Banca Etica GenEtica.

Leg 3: Barcelona Sants → Marseille St. Charles

Caught it by 30 seconds. I am sweating so much I feel like I am swimming in my train seat. But I am here, al good.

@tommi get your rain and wind equipment out.

The wind in closer to the fastest reading.

@mdione Thank you! What is the source/software you are using?
@tommi the graphic part is Grafana, the programs that get the values are shitty shell scripts, and data comes from two meteorology institutes (.fr, .no) and two local weather stations in Wunderground.
@mdione Wow, this is advanced! Cooool!

@tommi I do that kind of things at work; at home it's just something I know. Here in the Fedi I learned this: all labor is skilled labor. I see your site and I say "wow, this is advanced!". See mine and you'll see what I mean :)

If you have a morning here, and you don't want to see another city, maybe try to go to Calanque de Morgiou. Take the bus to Luminy. Otherwise, Le Panier is nice and quiet (no cars), the view from Notre Dame de la Garde is all encompassing.

Buon viaggio :)

@mdione I totally agree. Thank you for sharing.

Grazie!
