«There is no such thing as full decentralization»
There's always an axis that centralizes: identity, connectivity, discovery, or cost. The useful question isn't "is it decentralized?", it's which of these it sacrificed, and what that costs you the day that point breaks.

I would like to propose a simple alternative for announcing your Emacs Carnival article: publish one post in your social.org with the tag emacs-carnival, and you are in. Submissions can then be read from any Org Social client, a JSON API or RSS. No endpoints, no extra software.

Weekly notes 22 2026
Weekly notes 22 2026
Writing the weekly notes after a long time.I am sad for the recent changes in Tamilnadu politics. Wanted to get back into life and keep things moving. Started to read books and hear music.
HiFi Walker H2 Audio Player
This tiny musical device is showing a new world of music. All the mp3 songs I have heard so far, are so fresh when hearing in this device.FLAC and WAV are the complete song formats, where the MP3 seems to give only 60% of the audio content.
If you have time, interest to enjoy good music, invest some money, get a music player with DAC processor and a good headphones. Then, you can live in a wonderland.
Wrote more about this here. https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2026/05/30/immersing-into-music-with-offline-flac-music-player/
Resuming French learning
My french course was stopped due to recent India trip. Reading the A1 course content again to continue. Hope will continue the course soon.Learning Go language and RAG
My friend Syed Jafer is conducting many online courses. Joined the courses for RAG and Go lang. Go is interesting language. With the simplicity and power, it can do all the backend stuff. Rewriting the python projects in Go is a good exercise to learn Go quickly.Thanks to my Chennai Linux Users Group friend Mohan, to push me to learn go. He has done many projects with Go already. I enjoy the go projects like gotosocial, hugo etc. I like the compilation into single binary and pretty formatting.
Will write on my learnings soon.
AI webinar series in Tamil
Recently, organized a 8 session online webinar session on “Architecture of Artificial Intelligence” in Tamil, along with University of Toronto, Scarborough Library and Kaniyam Foundation.Dr. Tamil Arasan did a wonderful job on the training.

org-social
On searching on alternate social media platforms, found org-social is interesting. It is a social media, based on the emacs text editor’s super feature org-mode.With org-social, we can use emacs editor to be part of a decentralized social media org-social.

Wallabag – Save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely.
As part of my reducing doom scrolling social media and reading random articles, wanted a system to save the articles to read later. Seems Pocket service by Mozilla is shutdown. Found a open source application to do self hosting. It is called ‘Wallabag”. Installed this in my desktop and saving all the good articles I come across online.Now, it is easy and peaceful to read the articles I saved already.
It is easy setup. It has good extensions for firefox and chrome. Explore more here – https://wallabag.org/

Resuming French learning
My french course was stopped due to recent India trip. Reading the A1 course content again to continue. Hope will continue the course soon.Learning Go language and RAG
My friend Syed Jafer is conducting many online courses. Joined the courses for RAG and Go lang. Go is interesting language. With the simplicity and power, it can do all the backend stuff. Rewriting the python projects in Go is a good exercise to learn Go quickly.Thanks to my Chennai Linux Users Group friend Mohan, to push me to learn go. He has done many projects with Go already. I enjoy the go projects like gotosocial, hugo etc. I like the compilation into single binary and pretty formatting.
Will write on my learnings soon.

Weekly notes 22 2026
Weekly notes 22 2026
Writing the weekly notes after a long time.I am sad for the recent changes in Tamilnadu politics. Wanted to get back into life and keep things moving. Started to read books and hear music.
HiFi Walker H2 Audio Player
This tiny musical device is showing a new world of music. All the mp3 songs I have heard so far, are so fresh when hearing in this device.FLAC and WAV are the complete song formats, where the MP3 seems to give only 60% of the audio content.
If you have time, interest to enjoy good music, invest some money, get a music player with DAC processor and a good headphones. Then, you can live in a wonderland.
