This is my /now page. Perhaps you should have one, too?
I live in Malmö in the south of Sweden with my wife Petra and our kid.
We moved to a much smaller flat in a house from the 1920s last autumn. It's still chaos, but that's OK. ~7,000 books and much less space can do that to your flat. The new flat is very nice, though. Quieter, very thick walls, better Internet, and a backyard filled with... bamboo!
Reading a lot of fiction, mostly SF&F. Lately I've been reading a lot of other books as well, about remote working, deep work, slow productivity, and intentional living. Trying to practise some of the things, decluttering my mind a bit, and probably also the space around me.
Trying to work a ~30-32 hour week since 2008, mostly to get more time with my family, my books, my swords, my bikes, and to keep my wits about me. This seldom works. I feel very guilty when I don't meet my own standards and tend to overwork a lot.
Work is at Tillitis, a very small company where we design and sell FLOSS hardware and software. Our first project is the TKey, a small computer that can be used as a USB security token, among other things.
The main office is in Gothenburg but I mostly work from home or sometimes from coworking spaces or more temporary offices around Malmö. I visit HQ about once a month.
Still managing all the hack.org services by myself. I've been trying to cut down on the services and I'm slowly working on replacing some of the hardware too. I'm working on bringing home some services.
I continue to practise zazen, the zen buddhist form of sitting meditation which I started doing in my teens, although I admit to lapses in the habit.
Haven't attended my historical fencing class at all this term. It's been... complicated to meet other people for a while.
I often take breaks from so called social media (which might be neither social, nor media). Please don't be offended if I'm not answering your friend request. Reach out in some other way instead!
I'm again rather active on my blog.
I usually go to the Open Source Firmware Conference. I'll skip the next OSFC (October, Sunnyvale, Leftpondia) this time.
Transparency.dev Summit 2025 just south of Gothenburg, Sweden, October 20-22.
Inbyggd frihet's Mini hackathon @ Assured, Gothenburg, October 25.
As usual I'll go to C3, 39th Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany, December 27-30. That is, if I manage to get tickets for all of us.
