As little as possible. (I'm a teacher and just out for winter break.)
For fun, I've been working through MIT's operating system class. So I
will probably poke around their kernel code and do some lab exercises.
If anyone else finds this fun, there are also video recordings of the
class and discussion of the RISC-V xv6 kernel. The class videos seem
to have been recording over Zoom during the pandemic, so they have all
the problems of Zoom teaching. Still, it's better than nothing if
you're doing the course on your own.

Recovering from a respiratory illness, and then (assuming symptoms
have continued to diminish) getting a train to meet my partner who
lives on the other side of the country to spend Christmas and new
years with her and her family.

I had my last day of work this year on Thursday so the long weekend
(until Jan 5th) started for me today.
While doing several other projects I also decided to pick up the
project of moving my blog out of Wordpress. There is no need for me to
have an interactive website and MySQL repeatedly has mangled my
non-ASCII content which is easier to fix in Markdown than it is in
SQL. (Never ever will I touch MySQL ever again.)
So lots of noodling, trying out various half-baked projects, seeing if
the Hugo exporter can be made to work etc.

Just playing some videogames and decompressing, probably. I didn't
take any winter vacations this year (didn't have any left) but most
people at my workplace are gonna be on vacation and I mostly got
tasked with improving the codebase, which is something I find
relaxing. I'm going to be taking it easy and see if I find the energy
to work on the remarkable 2 stuff.
