I admit I have a love/hate relationship with microposting. On one hand, with platforms like Mastodon, it's very easy to use to generate written content and accompany it with a couple of photos/videos. On the other hand, I don't like the idea of content getting lost or handing it over to third parties (Twitter, cough cough)

The solution I came up with some time ago to not lose certain posts is to add a #micropost tag to them and import them into a section within my blog using a small program that takes that feed and transforms it into markdown importable in #hugo...

I think I'm going to write a proper post about this: obs2hugo.go

We paid a visit to our grandparents' attic and rescued a clone console (Atari 2600).

Didn't have much hope of making it work, but in the end, the only thing wrong was a plastic part of the joystick. Managed to fix it.

The feeling when plugging it in, tuning the channel, and seeing the game appear is unforgettable.

Mood: Lying down with my kids, enjoying their enthusiasm while watching a friendly match of the national team. No worries, no hurries. 🥰 #micropost

I need to install `node-0.10.something` in a `debian8` because reasons. After a while deciding which is the least bad option, I stumbled upon a post from my 2013 self with instructions. And I'm going to follow it.

Has anyone else out there had one of those 'hate-the-keyboard' (or 'hate-the-whole-computer') days to the max? Because I've been having one for a week now.

And yep, this is a #micropost too.

This weekend I went to eat at The Shire. 🌳🍽️ #micropost

Yesterday's lovely sunset, today it's raining cats and dogs. #micropost

When I created this #mastodon account, I thought of building a new bubble, from scratch; perhaps too focused on the technical aspects of my daily work (#dev, #sys, etc... a mistake).

It hasn't quite captured my interest, and I miss "other topics". Lately, I've also been logging into #twitter, but as of today, I can't stand the ads.

Perhaps it's worth one last attempt to change the bubble but I suppose I've lost the 'engagement' with both platforms.

As you go out for a walk to stretch your legs, one of your kids asks you to kick the ball around, and you end up playing a pickup game with all the neighbourhood kids.

If I don't answer tomorrow, just say I was a good person!

Thrilled with my latest delivery! Can't get enough of that woodsy aroma.
