Descansen en paz las víctimas del accidente ferroviario de Adamuz. No alcanzo a comprender a la gente que, desde el minuto uno, le está echando las culpas a Iryo (izquierda) o a ADIF (derecha), antes incluso de que haya información alguna sobre la causa el accidente.

Desde esta mañana sin poder comprar billetes por Renfe. Increíble servicio la verdad. Eso si, el sistema de colas ese que han metido les viene perfecto para cuando el resto de la web no hace ni lo más básico.

Got some great books lined up for the start of the year! Plus, I am reading The Expanse series on the ebook while I wait for the release of 'The Expanse: Osiris Reborn' videogame releasing (hopefully)later this year. #booksky 📚📚

“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.
The year of technoligarchy
In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

[1/2] Last day at CERN. Two years and 10 months ago I could never have imagined where this journey would take me. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked on the CERN Tape Archive project as a software engineer and service operator.

Nothing like going on holiday to do nothing, enjoy time with my family, read books, play videogames and try to hack stuff together by bashing my brain against the keyboard (that's how you get the brain wrinkles).

I've come to the conclusion that the usage of LLMs for professional work should be banned during the first X years of your career.

I recently got into fighting games. I was following EVO 2025 and I cannot stop listening to the MvC2 intro, although I know I am missing too many references

Nothing like starting the day with a system update that leaves the machine stuck in a boot loop. I can't even access the BIOS.

On my way to the second day of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. 😁

I wanted to go to bed early, but I wasn't expecting this Trump-Musk live drama.
