The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, by Mitski. Such a good album. 🎵
GitHub - aaronpk/Meetable: an event listing website
I just found out this project by Aaron Parecki. I just moved to a new city and trying to find local events forced me to spend time on Facebook, which is the de facto solution for venues to advertise events. An alternative would be great so I love that Meetable exists. I know nothing from the tech stack though so not sure I could contribute or tune it for my needs if i was willing to invest time on it for a side-project. 💻
C’est au tour de François Morel de s’y prendre au “pas de souci” 😂
My MacBook Pro from mid-2017 cannot install macOS 14 aka Sonoma. As a developer, this is a must-have. As a regular user, it is a big upset. Apple appears committed to take climate action seriously, cf. www.apple.com/environme… but avoiding existing products to become irrelevant too soon should be part of the agenda. 🌱
Fini de relire Poulet aux Prunes, de Marjane Satrapi. Masterpiece. Curieux de voir à quoi ressemble l’adaptation ciné qu’elle a elle même réalisée avec Vincent Paronnaud. 📚
I watched an episode of Super Wings! with my kids. It’s incredible how many kids shows include microtransitions, and transformations. Paw Patrol, Chico Bon Bon, and even old shows from my generation like Goldorak, or Saint Seiya. Or South Park parodies… 📺
Celebrating the 200th pull request on my Statium monorepo. So much more gratifying for solo side-projects. 💻
I just saw Lamine Yamal play for the 1st time in the highlights from Villarreal - Barcelona. Impressive. The guy just turned 16. ⚽️
Grief is a manifestation of the courage to love
Nicely put. 🤗

Writing on the web post-Jekyll, Ghost edition
Jekyll does not seem to do well. Despite being used by GitHub for GitHub pages, largely used plugins from the community — such as jekyll-assets, — are falling behind Jekyll 4 or the end of life of Ruby 2.
Ghost has very convincing pros: it is easy, fast and beautiful. It also has everything one can need fully integrated when you just start publishing.
But for a technical person such like me, who has an history of web publishing behind, it also has major cons:
- MySQL over PostgreSQL. I already run a PostgreSQL DB. I don’t want to run another one;
- All the built-ins (SEO, analytics) are lost when Ghost is used as a headless CMS;
- Poor markdown support: line breaks are preserved in posts;
- Lack of control over the HTML that is being produced;
- No support of multiple websites for small publishers.
As such, Ghost does not sound like a good CMS solution for me. To be continued. 💻

Last year, my old¹ guitar’s head broke. Thanks to the magic of Internet — and the kindness of TheGuitarGeekGarage who shared this “Réparation d’une tête de guitare cassée” video — I was able to fix it. Yay. 🎸
¹ I bought it in 1992. It was 30 year old when it broke.
Pourquoi tu sous-entends qu’il y aurait un souci ? Pourquoi ce besoin d’annoncer que ton ego ne va pas se dissoudre dans l’acide après cet affront qu’il vient de vivre ?
À chaque fois que quelqu’un dit “y’a pas de souci”, la voix de Blanche Gardin déboule dans ma caboche. 🧠
The unresponsiveness of the Files app on iOS is very surprising. The Books app has also this subpar feeling that has been going on for a while. If Apple wasn’t the developer I would stop using them. 🐛
My Sorare MLB lineups for GW35 are ready: Common All-Star and Majors ⚾️
Je viens de finir de lire Jolene t’es gouine, de Laurent Chalumeau. Excellent comme toujours. Mériterait un post un peu plus long sur Dead Rooster. 📚
After listening to a podcast about the science of getting psyched up, I made myself a Getting Psyched Up playlist on Spotify. Working well so far. 🎵
