Hiking without books? 📚 No problem, during the trail there are a pallet and a bench full of free titles… 🤩
I really do not like paywalls. 🧱😠
Now my blog has a 404 error page. 🆘

Some thoughts about Nostr
Sunday, June 25, 2023
I have tried Nostr (a new protocol for decentralized social media) and would like to give a personal & non-technical verdict on this system. First doubt: if the average user is already struggling to use Mastodon at first glance, I can imagine how they might find themselves overwhelmed by such a system. Second doubt: the fact that it is uncensored is a good thing, but also a major Achilles’ heel. As far as I understand it, there is in fact no content moderation.
I adore this vintage book cover. 🤩
Currently reading: L’ombra del faraone by Robin Cook 📚
Yesterday I missed #ShowYourStripes day. So I’m doing it right now. 😉
Finished reading: Murder, Stage Left by Robert Goldsborough 📚
An “old style” crime book with Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin as main characters. I really liked the idea, but the final of the story lacks of something in my opinion.
While I transfered here my old blog posts I realized to have blogged a lot in the last few years. 😃
After reading this article about Digital simplicity I can confirm that personally I have the same feelings about big social networks and crosspost automation. I really like how micro.blog can easily crosspost everywhere, but frankly speaking 2 or 3 big socials are enough for me.
Are you tired of Reddit? Then you can try a Lemmy server.
Just submitted my RSS feed to Feedle

Focusing on content
Wednesday, June 14, 2023
After talking about self-hosting and introducing my blogging journey let me talk about the platform I’ve used to blog for 4 years till I recently left. I do not remember how I found Write.as, but I tried it just because I was curious to understand how it worked. The essential user interface and the markdown editor with no frills attracted my so much that I decided to start blogging with them.
Just finished the first aid training for my company. There are many useful things I learned in order to be “ready” in case of emergencies. I do hope to never use them, but who knows…
I’m watching you! 🦉📷
Magari potessimo saltare la settimana ed arrivare direttamente al venerdì.
Ok, dall'estate a Novembre in 60 minuti: fatto! 😲

Voi utilizzate applicazioni particolari per prendere le note?

Where are we going? 🥾📷
It seems Google / YouTube want to stop Invidious. Problem for them is that the project does not belong to anyone… It’s FOSS.

My blogging journey
Thursday, June 8, 2023
I’ve recently written about the drawbacks of self-hosting. In that article I talked about it from a generic and technical point of view. Let’s get more personal now. 😉 Many years ago I was self-hosting Wordpress for my blog, but at some point I realized I was spending more time upgrading, customizing & fixing problems than writing something on it. This situation was so frustrating that I decided to stop blogging many times because I had a sort of internal conflict.
