Once I got my Miniflux installed, I browsed articles from my feeds, and one catched my interest: My A-Z toolbox: aria2 by Ruben Schade. He’ll be listing all the tools in an A-Z series of alphabetically ordered posts. His post inspired me to do the same. So, here are the tools sta … | Continue reading
This summer was the first time I went up so high in trees. Younger, I did climb up, but acrobranching wasn’t something I had the opportunity to try. I don’t even think it was a thing back then.

Two days ago, I asked on Mastodon how newsboat users were syncing their RSS feeds with their mobile phone. Amin suggested using a backend like Miniflux. Another solutions suggested: export feeds and sync them with syncthing use Termux on the phone, and do another sync with syncth … | Continue reading

I’ve read various blog posts (1,2) about mobile phones that people owned. So, here’s my list too. Over 25 years I’ve had 23 phones, if I haven’t forgotten some of them. I’ve listed them by release date. I probably didn’t have them in the same year. As a student, I used to sell my … | Continue reading
Now that the summer is almost gone, I will miss the West Indies. But, I remember that I was lucky to be at the beach last January. Fonte da Telha, Portugal - January 2024 - Fujifilm XPro2 Post 65/100 - Round 5 of the 100DaysToOffload challenge ! | Continue reading
August is gone, and it ends a long break. The last time my holidays were so long was probably when I was a teenager. I almost didn’t touch my laptop in August. I didn’t open Slack for work, or did many things except reading, enjoying the beach and the river, seeing family, and fi … | Continue reading
Zen, that’s the spirit I want when I surf online. I don’t want pixels trackers. I don’t want ads. I don’t need all that crap. Zen is a “new” browser based on Firefox, and focused on privacy. It’s similar to Librewolf, my current browser, that enables privacy features, and disable … | Continue reading
Still in holidays for a couple of days, and then I’ll be back in Europe. That’s a picture from a lake taken in Serbia. That summer of 2016 was the last time I had the chance to hold my mother. She passed away the same year for Xmas, a “nice” present of the universe, and never met … | Continue reading
Holidays! That’s the reason why I didn’t post on the blog for a while 😅. I try to read, play with kids, enjoy my free time, and avoid the laptop. Four years later, I’m back in the West Indies, in Guadeloupe to be more precise. And, I remember the day I took this picture. … | Continue reading

While my dad didn’t kick bombs when I was kid, Alexandra’s story reminded me my school. At the beginning of the new year, a professor asked us to fold a piece of paper, write our names / surnames on it, and also our parents’ jobs. While other kids didn’t have issues with that, I … | Continue reading
One of the many nights spent in Pigalle with friends. That night I met this girl, and she will remain nameless… Pigalle - France, July 2019 - Fujifilm XPro2 Post 58/100 - Round 5 of the 100DaysToOffload challenge ! | Continue reading
One year already since Vim lost his father. I noticed that this week looking for some Vim information. I hope someone will continue the great work that Mr Moolenar did during 30 years of his life to build this tool. Even if I switched to Neovim, vim is the foundation of it. So ma … | Continue reading
Holidays are almost there. Two weeks to go! This month, I haven’t really done many #JulyReply2024 posts, mainly because I do it from time to time already. I didn’t want to force myself to reply to some posts. I only replied to three posts, but I could have replied to more I’m sur … | Continue reading

Sometimes, you want to add a UTF-8 character in the text you write, but you don’t know how to insert it. Vim/Neovim has an easy way to solve that. In theory, it could be done with the keybinding CTRL-V + decimal number of the character, but I always had issues with that. Maybe, i … | Continue reading
