I just realized that @things, my favorite task management software, has a Mastodon account!

It’s a pity they’re not as active here as on other social networks… but it’s worth following them, just in case.

#things, #thinkingoutloud

• Update: @things Oh, they’re just as active as on other platforms—it was my instance playing tricks on me.

Mastodon / Bluesky: After a few days of using both apps in parallel, I see strengths and weaknesses in each; I can’t choose one over the other, so what I didn’t want to happen is probably going to happen: I’ll end up using both. I don’t think this will double my social media time, but I don’t think it’s ideal either.

Halloween is getting closer

Can you almost smell it?

And… another grey day in front of the keyboard. Interestingly, in the real world, it’s a beautiful day. Let’s see if I can take advantage of it and change the mood. [later] Indeed, the mood changed for the better. Lately, it feels like the computer brings out the worst in me. I think I need to make some changes. [and later] To be honest, one of the things that distracts me the most is context switching. Considering the house renovations aren’t finished yet, I’m constantly moving between my parents’ place and mine, and that’s definitely not helping.

Did a bit of #woodworking this afternoon. I had a wheel chock for the van to prevent the wheel from rubbing against the curb, but it broke, so I had to patch it up.

It’s not the best or cleanest job… but it works.

Today is #legday, not just a normal leg day, but the first one in the last two months. Tomorrow will be fun.

Suddenly, all the books in my Kindle disappeared, which was kind of scary. I connected it to my computer, opened Calibre, and the books seemed to be fine on the device. After disconnecting it, the library was able to load again. I thought I had lost all my reading progress, but it seems to be fine in the end.

I’ve had a small problem with a Nextcloud instance. I’m still not sure why, but it has continuously marked several directories as «locked», and the disk space usage has increased from 300GB to almost 2TB.

[…]

Now I’m trying to delete those directories manually —the hard way— and restore the connection between the server and the client. But I’m still worried about the issue.

6 hours later…

It’s been a while since the last #gardening session due to the construction work, but it finally happened yesterday.
