Happy new year, folks. 2026 is a year of change. Its the year of switching to Linux. Its the year of setting up a home NAS and canceling cloud services. It's the year of getting back to collecting physical media and storing it on your new NAS so you can stream it all for free. Like forever.

For all who suffer from the misery of poverty, oppression, & torture, ✨ Afflicted by harm, disease, or the imbalance of natural elements, ✨ May their outer and inner hardships and obstacles be wholly pacified, ✨ And may they find enduring peace and liberation from suffering. ✨ ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ། 🪷

The most popular mantra in Tibet is the Buddhist mantra of Avalokiteshwara, Bodhisattva of Compassion. ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ་ཧྲཱིཿ (In Tibetan) "I believe in altruism. No matter how capable a person may be, no one can survive alone. We depend on the community in which we live. By dedicating ourselves to the welfare of others, we actually bring about our own benefit. As soon as I wake in the morning, I dedicate myself to helping others to be happy, which gives me self-confidence and inner strength." - His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso. "For all those who suffer from the misery of poverty, oppression, and torture,
Beset by harm, pestilence, or an imbalance of the elements,
May all their hardships and obstacles, outer and inner, be fully pacified,
And may they revel eternally in the glory of every happiness and bliss.
With sincere prayers that all this will come to pass exactly as is expressed in these words." - Ling Rinpoche, New Delhi, India
