New blog post: 2025 in review

"I don’t know what kept me from writing this post. Last year I posted on January 14th, now we are already into February. Maybe it is simply the feeling of unease triggered by all the shit going on that we hear about every day now."

"One thing I was in desperate need of this year was logging off the internet. To have proper mental breaks and a total shift of focus. To get totally absorbed into something. This is not easy."

@lislegaard Takk! Inspirerende - kjenner meg igjen i mye av det du skriver. Har satt opp min egen funkwhale-server som hoster _mine_ album, musikken får en ekstra dimensjon når det er min samling jeg hører på. Altså ikke min som i egenprodusert, bare selvkjøpt. Bestilte til og med min første CD fra discogs for å få tak i en gammel SVEK-samleskive jeg hadde i min ungdom.

Så kult! Det er også en vill følelse å se på ens eget musikkbibliotek og se sånn 10-15 års stort HULL fordi du hovedsakelig streamet!

Å få digitalisert en del CDer ligger også på todo-lista. Vurderer til og med å slenge meg på trenden med å modde den gamle iPoden med nytt batteri, sd-kort og Rockbox. Vi får se!

Glad posten inspirerte!

@lislegaard Very cool to be able to continously follow your trajectory towards more autonomy (and tranquility) – way to go & keep it up!

ps. maybe a bit of a counterintuitive impulse (feel free to dismiss entirely, it does go against your desire for less input!), but one thing that I've recently bumped into that I found incredibly nourishing in regards to the doom and gloom all around was https://fixthenews.com/p/the-telemetry (that's their remarkable 2025 roundup [which left me pleasantly rebalanced, despite being very long and starting a litte rough], it's otherwise a weekly newsletter). Maybe worth a shot.

The Telemetry

All the news the headlines missed in 2025.

Thank you!

I am also happy to receive tips like this. I reeeaaaallllyyy think the media is out of balance. One of the reasons why I like reading blogs actually. People do so much cool stuff!

Will give this a read!
