+I'm hopeful. Ladybird is coming, and coming fast. It's almost catching up to Safari now, which itself is a huge feat considering how little time it's existed. That said, I, too, think WASM is most likely the future, and we'll repeat Flash all over again, but perhaps better this time. At least I can write Rust to produce WASM and don't need ActionScript, so there's that.

+So there are only 2 web browser engines, and it seems likely there will
+soon only be 1, and making a whole new web browser from the ground up is
+effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web
+standards complexity against any newcomers. Maybe eventually someone will
+succeed and there will be 2 again. Best case. What a situation.
+
+So throw out all the web standards. Make a browser that just runs WASM
+blobs, and gives them a surface to use, sorta like Wayland does. It has
+tabs, and a throbber, and urls, but no HTML, no javascript, no CSS.
+Just HTTP of WASM blobs.
+
+This is where the web browser is going eventually anyway, except in the
+current line of evolution it will be WASM with all the web standards
+complexity baked in and reinforcing the current situation.
+
+Would this be a mass of proprietary software? Have you looked at any
+corporate website's "source" lately? But what's important is that this
+would make it easy enough to build new browsers that they would stop
+being a point of control.

+Or you can do something entitely different in your WASM that is not HTML
+based at all but a better paradigm (oh hi Spritely or display postscript
+or gemini capsules or whatever).
+
+Dual innovation sources or duopoly? I know which I'd prefer. This is not my

+I've been lucky to be able to spend twenty! five! years! developing free
+software and making a living on it, and this was a banner year for that
+career.
+
+To start with, there was the [Distribits](https://distribits.live/) 
+conference. There's a big ecosystem of tools and projects that are based on
+git-annex, especially in scientific data management, and this was the
+first conference focused on that. Basically every talk involved git-annex
+in some way. It's been a while since I was at a conference where my
+software was in the center like that -- reminded me of Debconf days.
+
+I gave [a talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp8IeGXpRRI&list=PLEQHbPfpVqU6esVrgqjfYybY394XD2qf2&index=4)
+on how git-annex was probably basically feature complete. I
+have been very busy ever since adding new features to it, because in
+mapping out git-annex's feature set, I discovered new possibilities.
+
+Meeting people and getting a better feel for the shape of that ecosytem,
+both technically and funding wise, led to several big developments in
+funding later in the year. Going into the year, I had an ongoing source of
+funding from several projects at Dartmouth that use git-annex, but after 10
+years, some of that was winding up.
+
+That all came together in my essentially writing a grant proposal to
+the OpenNeuro project at Stanford, to spend 6 months building out a whole
+constellation of features. The summer became a sprint to get it all done.
+Signficant amounts of very productive design work were done while swimming
+in the river. That was great.
+
+(Somehow in there, I ended up onstage at FOSSY in Portland, in a 
+[keynote panel on Open Source and AI](https://2024.fossy.us/schedule/presentation/275/).
+This required developing a nuanced understanding of the mess of the
+OSI's Open Source AI definition, but I was mostly on the panel as the
+unqualified guy.)
+
+Capping off the year, I have a new maintenance contract with
+[Forschungszentrum Jülich](https://www.fz-juelich.de/en). This covers
+the typical daily grind kind of tasks, like bug triage, keeping on top of
+security, release preparation, and updating dependencies, which is the kind
+of thing I've never been able to find dedicated funding for before.
+
+A career in free software is a succession of hurdles. How to do something
+new and worthwhile? How to make any income while developing it at all? How
+to maintain your independant vision when working on it for hire? How to
+deal with burn-out? How to grow a project to be more than a one developer
+affair? And on and on.
+
+How does a free software project keep paying the bills once it's feature
+complete? Maybe I am starting to get a glimpse of an answer.

+I have been working all year on a solar upgrade aimed at December. Now here
+it is, midwinter, and my electric car is charging on a cloudy day from my
+offgrid solar fence.
+
+I lived happily enough with 1 kilowatt of solar that I 
+[[installed in 2017|DIY_professional_grade_solar_panel_installation]].
+Meanwhile, solar panel prices came down massively, incentives increased
+and everything came together: This was the year.
+
+In the spring I started clearing forest trees that were leaning over the house,
+making both a firebreak and a solar field.
+
+In June I picked up a pallet of panels in a box truck.
