Merry Christmas, friends. And a special cheers to everyone that makes this community possible. It’s one of the last bastions of all that is good about this internet.

Hear hear!!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Love seeing the custom HN theme every year. Sometimes after Christmas, I avoid refreshing an HN tab, so I get to see the theme just a little bit longer :)

This year is a bit special to me. I recently moved countries for a new job, but I moved a bit too soon. Now I am spending the holiday season alone for the first time in my life. Learned a lot of lessons the hard way over the past week.

My first Christmas with mom gone was really tough. Stuck alone during COVID in 2021 in a really bad place. I couldn't sleep. And I happened to turn on the radio in the middle of the night and there was an Amy Grant interview. I almost turned it off, oh no, christian stuff I thought. But she talked about her first Christmas without her mom. Then they played her song about it. If I had been 5 minutes more trying to sleep, or given up on sleep 5 minutes earlier, I would have missed that.

Anyways, in case anyone needs to stumble upon something similar, I couldn't find something so perfect but...

hearing it now it's not as amazing as it was that night I needed to not be alone in grief, but here it is:

Fun seeing HN restart to switch to the Christmas theme, in three steps: https://share.cleanshot.com/vJZv6k03 (restarting the server) https://share.cleanshot.com/qFyM347P (online but temporarily readonly) https://share.cleanshot.com/kW8kY7mp (back online!)

What container is this running in?

FreeBSD
