Short Notes
Short notes are unstructured short brain dumps. Don’t expect high quality posts :-).

Weird idea: #Selfhosting 5 different #finger servers (all named after a finger, eg: thumb.finger.bacardi55.io, index.finger.bacardi55.io, middle.finger.bacardi55.io, …) with 5 different goals: latest tinylog entry, latest gemlog, latest blog post, and other useless thing…
I know there is absolutely no good reasons to do so except “because I can” and “it would make me laugh”… So we’ll see if I one day find the time and motivation to do so even though I have way more important things on my todolist ^^.

I received my #clockwork #uconsole 2 weeks ago, but because I was sick and then had to travel for work, I haven’t been able to play with it since I got it…
My short term goals:
- Install debian bookworm
- Encrypt only my home directory (I think full encryption might be to harsh for micro sd card)
- Install emacs, syncthing and git so I can write and publish from it
- Install some retro gaming (best rpg games were made for SNES anyway!)
What I don’t know is what am I going to do with the keyboad layout. Normally I’m an azerty user. And even on my Dogma Raise 2 that has qwerty keycaps, I have it setup to azerty as I don’t care and don’t look. But the layout of the uconsole is so special that changing it might mean I’ll struggle a lot to find some special keys… So I’m still perplex at this stage about that.

While I have nothing against the writer of this post and I don’t care if they decided to use their terminal within their web browser, I do believe this is yet another example of how we broke our use of computer and the web in general…
« Everything should be a web app » is just a very bad idea for so many reasons that I’m too tired to enumerate here. A side effect is seeing so many CLI/TUI application developped in JS/Typescript/NodeJS.
I don’t want to only use a web browser at all, I want more “desktop software” doing their job well, even if they are connected to web services to do their job… My window manager is then here to manage window and workspace the way I like. I have already too many tabs open in my web browser (even though I’m using readeck (read-it-later) and linkding (bookmark manager)) to add all my terminal windows in there too.
Useless rant, but I had to say it anyway :-).

Just discovered that an android application for #readeck already exists! I wasn’t aware of that and that might be a game changer for my readeck usage as it does provide offline usage!
https://github.com/jensomato/ReadeckApp
Will try it later today!

So mozilla is shutting down pocket… Yet another good move from them /s. I guess they need the money to develop more AI bullshit and focus their R&D money where their own users don’t want it to go…
Anyway, I’ve never used that tool anyway, but I can strongly advice using either #wallabag or #readeck . Both are great tools! Readeck is faster and has a better and more beautiful UI. But Wallabag has a phone app that can import articles for offline read, which I believe readeck really need to get at some point. Too bad I just don’t want to build an android app (for readeck or anything really).
I believe you could achieve the same with readeck and its OPDS endpoint. Something I still need to look at.

That’s the 3rd time today that I had to reach out to someone because they deployed an anti AI service like #anubis or #goaway . I have nothing against these people that just try to protect their service / assets from these shitty bot scrapping the web like they own it (when normal people do it, they get sued though)…
That’s what the AI slop is giving us right now: shitty AI services that most don’t care about (and the one that does should be a lot more careful about their results) and are a pain in the a** for everyone else: people trying to run small services / websites and the one that try to follow them outside of proprietary jails…
I really hate the state the web is now… NO thank you big tech sh*t heads.

Hey, we have checked your website and it looks like SEO isn’t working properly, and it’s also not ready for AI-based ranking. We guarantee TOP3 placement on search results for a very affordable price. You can WhatsApp us: [redacted]
Just received this spam for the 2nd time in a couple of days… What they don’t know is that:
- I don’t care about SEO. This sh*t has been broken for a long time anyway.
- “Not ready for AI-based ranking” is actually a great thing to me :D
Seriouly though, not the first time I get around this, so I guess they found me somewhere so it must not be that hidden anyway xD… But still I wish I wouldn’t receive those email wasting my time (even for a few secondes).

I just love email conversations that I sometimes have with other bloggers or people that read some of my blog posts. Most people reaching out (or people I reach out to) are nice and open. And it often sparks new thoughts and ideas in a very positive manner!
As written in my about page:
I’m happy to receive any messages regarding this site or its content, would it be a short or an extensive message, in French or in English, on any of these channels
So always feel free to reach out!

This seems both cool and useless… I’d love to try it at least once but I really don’t want to spend the money for it.

I really like that I can now write one microblog entry and decide to deploy it on both or either my website (as notes) and/or on my capsule as a tinylog entry! I need to write more about this, but basically it goes like this:
- write in emacs/orgmode the entry using a capture template to preformat the entry (specially the frontmatter)
- Indicate in the frontmatter the channel: “tinylog” and / or “website”
- Optionnaly add a element to indicate it is a response to someone (used only on tinylog entry for now)
- Optionnaly add tags (only used on my website so far)
- Export to markdown using ox-hugo as for blog or gemlog post in the right place
- Git add / commit / push the file
- Sourcehut automated build starts like usual and use a new tool I created called micrologs to create the tinylog.gmi file and the different markdown file for hugo
Seems over engineered like the rest of my deployment workflow, but weirdly I find it easy and fun :).
Missing pieces:
- Micro logging from my phone
- Add “fediverse” (my gotosocial account) as another channel to choose to deploy entries too

I love my new Dygma Raise 2 keyboard!
Mandatory picture:
(This is mainly an entry to test my new micro blogging workflow for my tinylog and on my website)
