CW: Personal journey: trauma, medical injustice, and poverty
I carry many traumas, religious conditioning, family abuse, and the weight of workplace injustice. For years, I feared my own queerness, trapped by a world that told me who to be.
It took a near fatal illness to break that shell. Facing death did not just change my health, it shifted my soul. It moved me from a world of self-concern to one of deep empathy. I went back to school, unlearned old patterns, and found my voice.
I have known the cruelty of a "wallet biopsy" and the sting of being judged by doctors who didn’t see my humanity. I have stood in line for expired food and felt the bone deep cold of poverty. I know that poverty is a trauma that kills, I have lived it.
But today, I am no longer afraid. I will shout in the face of the oppressors. I will continue to speak truth to power.

After almost a year custody and 10 years fighting a criminal case that destroyed lives, Priyank Pardeshi has been acquitted of all charges in the TellyTorrents piracy case. The court found no evidence, no forensics, no money trail, no proof of domain ownership.
This isn't an isolated incident. As noted by legal analyst Kartik Sharma, this reflects a systemic failure in Indian law enforcement's approach to digital evidence. Similar cases have collapsed due to the same lack of technical proof.
The human cost is immense, 311 days in custody, career damage, social stigma, and the loss of a co-accused who died during the trial. Priyank's story is a stark reminder of how easily innocent people can be destroyed by overzealous prosecution.
It's also worth noting that the same media that once called him a "kingpin" is now reporting on the arrest of another alleged piracy mastermind - Immadi Ravi - with similar claims of millions in profits and forged documents.

The world feels like it is burning. Between corporate greed, the loss of ownership, and a justice system that feels broken, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.
And yet, I am still optimistic.
I am optimistic because of you. Every time you shout at an injustice or refuse to stay quiet, you give me hope. I truly believe there are sunny days ahead because we are fighting for them together. ☀️

This is why we self host and why open-source is a requirement, not a preference.
"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." - Eric Hughes, A Cypherpunk's Manifesto

2025 was a year of radical change for me. Despite a UCTD flare up, I lost 50 lbs and took the vital step of cutting ties with toxic family to protect my mental health. Most importantly, I finally came out openly as Queer. I am omnisexual, and living that truth has been a major part of my journey this year.
I also finally deGoogled. It was a hard but cathartic experience. I deleted my accounts with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, moving my digital life to privacy-respecting, left-leaning services. Embracing FOSS, Debian, Docker, and Proxmox has been an incredible learning journey.
Moving to the Fediverse has been life-changing. For an introvert, finding a home here and posting regularly has been huge!
For 2026, I’m leaning toward the analog. I want to solidify my journaling habit, read more, and start walking in the beautiful park near our new home. I am even hoping to pick up a 35mm film camera.
Thank you to everyone I have interacted with here for giving me such a great outlet. I look forward to more conversations in the coming year.
Happy New Year and stay safe!

Dare to be Disconnected.
We are living in a permanent state of emergency, where every notification feels like a demand and every scroll feels like a duty. We have mistaken being informed for being engaged.
True presence is a revolutionary act in an attention economy. When you disconnect, you are not missing out. You are opting back into the physical world. You are choosing the air in the room, the weight of a book, or the person sitting across from you
Silence is not an empty space. Instead, look at it as it is where your own thoughts get a chance to be heard.
What would happen if you gave your full attention to something that couldn't give you a notification in return?

pkgforge is a very promising project.
It uses a package manager called Soar to create centralized repositories for AppImage, FlatImage, static binaries, and more. It installs them into their own directories with checksum verification and transparent build logs.
I love the idea of a central hub for all these portable formats. It makes things so much easier for the user.
