It was a big cut into his life. Recovery went well, the AKH doctors did magic, no infections. The fingers are writing these lines, but not like before. Life is short. Lesson learned: always take care when operating heavy machinery and diligently follow security protocols. Here is a picture of the artwork that Leo worked on, a model for a Torii Gate for a future burn. It cites the Japanese temple gates separating the mundane from the holy, and the gates Leo made and burned for Erntefestival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250101_001057-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250101_001057-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250101_001057-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250101_001057-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250101_001057-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250101_001057-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">While working on this Torii, Leo cut himself into three fingers.

fediverse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leo found out how to combine the W3C ActivityPub with WordPress using ActivityPub Plugin. Joy and fun followed! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/2025\/04\/26\/hello-friends-foaf-rss-mastodon-fediverse-all-in-one\/\">Hello Friends, FOAF, RSS, Mastodon, Fediverse &#x1f32e; all in one<\/a>. It was great to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/2025\/07\/26\/how-to-reply-from-wordpress-to-activitypub-mastodon-and-mention-people\/\">how to reply from WordPress to activitypub\/mastodon and mention people?<\/a> More to come in 2026. This blog is now part of the federated social network based on open standards. As Cory Doctorow pointedly expressed it in the end of the year, we need to tell the Billionaire Bros to fuck off and take the future into our own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tenet: a very clever movie by Christopher Nolan &#8230; about world peace?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Oktober, Leo finally watched Tenet by Christopher Nolan. It was recommended to us by our friend and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ebo-rose-7bb572293\/\">post-production movie artist Ebo Rose<\/a>. After some re-thinking, Leo found a new interpretation of the movie. On first sight it is dark, but when you see through how the protagonists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leobard.net\/blog\/2025\/10\/01\/my-tenet-interpretation-future-peace\/\">trick the system, a future of peace<\/a> is possible. Leo was the first viewer on the internet to write it up in detail, and long-time redditer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tenet\/comments\/1nvkxns\/comment\/nhx3pey\/\">doloros_mccracken wrote<\/a> <em>I\u2019m astounded that you got all of this out of two viewings. I\u2019ve been thinking about and decoding this movie for years and watched it 20+ times straight through &#8230;No one wants to believe Nolan is lying.
