Couple days in #Paris for #PyTorchCon. Mainly shuffling between hotel and conference venue. Caught this on the way back to hotel last night, probably the only reminder of which city I was in. #SeineRiver #sunset

What summer escape? It's currently -6°C 😂 #welcometofinland

It was such a pleasure to share a stage with @cybette.bsky.social at #OpenSearchCon, and even more so to share the work of the #Docling team and how it can be integrated with #OpenSearch. Check out the video of the talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqUJ...

Got a portable monitor for the upcoming #PyTorchCon Europe. Easy connection with Thinkpad X1C, MacBook pro, pixel 9, ipad mini etc. with one cable. Multiple backup options if something fails! Although ipad will be last option unless I can calibrate it. #DPaltMode

It's painstaking work going through various percussion parts mapping them out for a limited number of players, taking into account positioning of instruments, transitions, player strengths, and more. Is there a tool to automate this? Then again the process acquaints me with the pieces much better 🎶🎵

What is open source? What is the free software movement? We make take these ideas for granted, but Fedora Community Architect Justin Wheeler took time to explain what this is all about to our new @outreachy interns. :) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGS2qTFriU4 #opensource #linux #fedora […]

Here's the presentation @philna.sh and I gave at #OpenSearchCon about integrating #Docling with OpenSearch for advanced RAG: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqUJ... Slides: opensearchcon-china-2026.sessionize.com/session/1115... Thanks to @opensearch.org, @krisfreedain.com for having us in #Shanghai!

It was nice to relax and bbq with a lake view and company of good friends. Got a bit chilly towards the end (5°C with winds picking up) but a welcome break after a hectic week. Simple pleasures. #Tampere #Pereensaari

Saw a performance by #Kodo taiko drumming troupe last weekend. So inspiring. Having an urge to fly to #Japan for half a year (or however long it takes to get some basic taiko training), and come back and form our own #taiko drumming group here in Finland. Anyone wanna join? 🥁

And that’s a wrap for #OpenSearchCon China—what an incredible experience from start to finish. Grateful for the insightful conversations, inspiring talks, and the chance to connect with such a passionate community. Looking forward to what’s next! #OpenSearch

Day 1 recap from #OpenSearchCon China - strong sessions and thoughtful discussions throughout the day. The moments in between stood out most — hallway conversations, quick catch-ups, and getting to connect with people across the #OpenSearch community. Great start, looking forward to Day 2.

Train station experience in #Shanghai so different from europe. ID + security check just to enter the station (special line for foreigners), can't use self service ticket machines without local ID, another special lane for passports when entering the platform. I know the language and still felt lost

A lovely and thoughtful Speaker gift from #OpenSearchCon China - a seal with the #OpenSearch logo. I've no idea where my own name seal went, misplaced it decades ago. Maybe I can get a new one sometime :)

So I actually watched both movies #AnotherEarth & #Melancholia (found tweets as evidence 😆). Somehow I remembered the former much better. Was ruminating over them this past week when I came across the #EveryoneDies audiobook - gonna listen to it on the flight to Shanghai. Yeah, one of those moods...

I just spent an hour cancelling, adjusting, rescheduling a bunch of stuff thanks to the DST/summer time change kerfuffle. Plus I'm travelling next week in a 3rd time zone. Should I have OpenClaw-ed it? Only takes 5 min for the changes.... and 55 min to fix them? 😂🦞

Final Call: NYC 🗽 Registration for the llm-d Meetup closes, Tuesday March 10. Join the community this Wednesday at the IBM 1 Madison office for a deep dive into llm-d 0.5, MoE scaling, and KV-cache offloading. Don't miss a night of high-signal technical talks. 🎟️ Register now: luma.com/0crwqwg4

Probably the top 2 food delivery networks in Taiwan. In Finland however, it's dominated by Wolt. Foodora (sister company of Foodpanda) *just* left Finland & rumor has it that Uber Eats will launch here in 2026. I'll support whoever delivers 永和豆漿 to me in Tampere! www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finl...

AI generated comments on here too 🤦‍♀️ And if not AI, then someone who didn't read my actual post nor the follow up comment 🤷‍♀️

So I posted something on linkedin about eu.36kr.com/en/p/3696794... ... basically someone who claims they became a top 30 contributor to #openclaw without writting a line of code, see my LI post (or image alt text) for more details - www.linkedin.com/posts/cybett...

Egg with double yolks, sign of good luck or otherwise? #doubleyolk

Had 4 meetings this evening upon landing in HEL. 8 meetings tomorrow. No more excuse of "it's too late in Taiwan for a meeting" 😅 Does jet lag work as an excuse? 🤪

Torilla tavataan! Was watching TV in Taiwan (first time this week) when #Finland was mentioned in a news program about AI development and detecting fake news / AI creations. Related article: apnews.com/article/fake...

Happy new year of the (Vespa) horse! 新年快樂！ Greetings from #Taipei ❤️

Hotel welcome gifts for Mr. Chen (who's that?)

Airport cafe - same table, same order, 13 days apart. Different destinations though...

Where are my reading glasses? The usual spots - next to my laptop? No. Near my coffee mug? No. On the countertop? No. Next to the phone charger? No.... Oh there they are, on my head. 🤦‍♀️ Wait, another pair on my shirt collar... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂

Making connections at events is one of my favourite things, and I'm so honoured to meet these amazing folks at the #cfgmgmtcamp women's lunch! Brilliant, funny, insightful, from diverse backgrounds yet share relatable experiences- truly appreciate your stories & feedback ❤️ Cheers to our comradeship!

Regarding "Sovereign Cloud", maybe not building new hyperscalers with the full range of services is the way to go. Rather an open source and linux approach: Do one thing and do it well. 🧵🧵🧵 #cfgmgmtcamp

I was NOT at #FOSDEM. Also, I WAS at FOSDEM. https://twp.ai/4iud3l Thanks to @cybette

Learnt a new word today: #Apricity - the warmth of the sun in winter 🔆 Image description: selfie in the winter sun, wearing a hoodie over a t-shirt while it's -12°C outside. Even perspiring a little while doing chores on a sunny winter day.

Yay us! OlderGeeks.com #tech #computing #software

Tomorrow (Feb 4) at #CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent, Ming and I will run a workshop on #Docling at 14:00 in B.1.031 - cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2026/ta... Join us! @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social

Loving this talk from @jzb.bsky.social There's a way to talk about the uncomfortable aspects of OSS, AI usage and the world at large without being a doomer or preachy. It's an important topic and super well presented by Joe <3 #cfgmgmtcamp #cfgmgmtcamp2026

Ignites are fun. Great first ignite by @petersouter.xyz at #Cfgmgmtcamp

If you're at #CfgMgmtCamp, there's a Hacking room at B.1.037 if you'd like to hack in peace. (not quite an escape room, which is my other favourite type of room xkcd.com/2145/ ) @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social

Slides from my talk "CI/CD Observability, Metrics and DORA: Shifting Left and Cleaning Up!" at #cfgmgmtcamp are here: www.slideshare.net/slideshow/ci... cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2026/ta... #cfgmgmtcamp2026 #dora #devops #cicd #observability

After finishing my talk almost free of #AI at @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social dropped to @gethash.org 's talk about how AI challenges #OpenSource #OSS. He raised good wider impacts t society 👏 #CfgMgmtCamp

#cfgmgmtcamp sure feels a bit like being in the Matrix. No matter where you look: Everybody's is convinced the agents are coming for you. 😁

“Freedom includes the right to leave. When exit is too costly, the freedom to fork becomes symbolic.” - Richard Fontana, #cfgmgmtcamp

If you are attending Women's lunch at #Cfgmgmtcamp today, please get your voucher from me or some of the booths (Kangaroot, Foreman. Overlook InfraTech, Ansible) and look for the Cfgmgmtcamp signs in the cafeteria so we can be seated together, 13:00-14:00. Cheers! @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social

"This is not a Red Hats talk, this is not an IBM talk, I am on vacation..." #Cfgmgmtcamp @richardfontana.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

@stahnma.us is starting us off with the first keynote about predictably and entropy in workloads. Very contemporary topic touching MO of industry today 🤪 #CfgMgmtCamp

Coming to #CfgMgmtCamp tomorrow? Stop by and pick up some stickers and a social battery pin!

#Cfgmgmtcamp starts now! There's an app and everything @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social

The slides and recording for my presentation on Get your docs in a row with #Docling are now available - fosdem.org/2026/schedul... Thanks to @fosdem.org organizers and volunteers for another amazing event. My 11th in-person #FOSDEM (13 including virtual ones).

Get your docs in a row with Docling. Just genius! @cybette.bsky.social

Going from -20°C to this today. Actually it'll be +6°C when I land. Am I packing for summer?! 😂

Updated my 2 laptops F42->F43 and Sequoia->Tahoe. Not sure why I decided one day before a major trip is a good time for that, but at least they went fine. (Well I did mess something up in Fedora but got it sorted. Should have gone atomic. Trying out cosmic desktop.)
