Transmission on Ubuntu may be denied access to localized Downloads directories due to AppArmor profiles expecting English folder names. Here’s how to fix it.
Among the list of cool tools I discovered and tried out lately on my Linux boxes are autofs and chezmoi. autofs solves the problems of network shares that are unavailable when your machine boots. The service automatically mounts network shares (nfs and Samba are of interest to me) when you access them. The Arch wiki...
The statue on the façade of the San Zulian church is not a saint, but an astrologer and doctor, who sold remedies for syphilis.
As someone who just went through the process of digitizing and redownloading a ton of music so I could officially get away from streaming services, this post made a lot of sense to me. I will say I do hoard music. But I enjoy going through my library and finding new things, and that can’t be done if I don’t have...
Appunti sparsi sul mio ennesimo esperimento di RPG in solitaria utilizzando il celeberrimo Ironsworn, che una volta tanto è un sistema effettivamente *pensato* per i ruolismo solista 🙂↕️
Easy is the enemy of good. We all opt-in for the easy, all the time. The learning comes from chasing the simple, not easy. Making things simple is difficult. That’s why simple things are almost always great. Reply via email | Reply via Mastodon | Comment

I present for your reading enjoyment a short article on what I hope is a very Merry Christmas for fans of The New Leaf Journal (my first Christmas-day article since 2022). I went to Lot Less (a discount store) with a friend on Saturday, December 20, 2025. I usually buy food and chocolate at Lot Less. However, on...
Last Linkdump of 2025! And maybe last post of this year too, I don't know yet. I just checked, and this is the 108th blog post I'm writing this year. I'm too lazy to do it now, but if I stitched them all together I would get at least a small book out of it. Which means I've written a book this year! Granted, a very...
Actually I wanted to try a bit GithubCopilot with Agents.md. Yet .. I think during the project I totally forgot to test the influence of the Agents file but tried “vibeCoding” in a reproducible way. I had a very little project in mind that authenticates to Mastodon, fetches some data, saves into a database and […]
I've heard many people describe themselves as perfectionists. Funnily enough, when you get to know them, you oftentimes learn that their lives aren't exactly perfect. This might lead one to think they're lying about their nature to make themselves sound more interesting, but I'm actually inclined to believe them. It...
Let me introduce you to a national hero of Argentina. His name is Andy Kusnetsoff. Yes, obvious Russian origins, family name eventually butchered when his ancestors disembarked at the Ciudad de la Santísima Trinidad y Puerto de Santa María del Buen Ayre. He’s been a reporter and radio host for almost 30 years now....
Leo en elDiario.es este artículo: “La IA quiere conquistar las recetas, pero los blogs españoles resisten esta Navidad: «La gente confía en nosotros»”. El resumen es un tema del que seguro que habéis leido en algunas otras ocasiones: que el SEO está muerto, que muchos sitios Web de recetas sobrevivían gracias al SEO...
I often marvel at the randomness of it all. If I had left one minute earlier, would I have missed all this traffic? Seeing the face of a random stranger and never seeing them ever again. Witnessing the sly look she gave him. ☉ ‿ ⚆ And the one he gave someone else. •͡˘㇁•͡˘ That cool-looking cloud in the sky which is...
When was the last time you typed a quotation mark or an apostrophe? Most likely today, very possibly within the last hour. When was the last time you took a good look at them? I bet never1. I’ve been doing some copy-editing and proofreading at work, and one of the most common mistakes I spot is the inconsistent use...
I just added Openring to my blogroll page: This is a tool for generating a webring from RSS feeds, so you can link to other blogs you like on your own blog. It’s designed to be fairly simple and integrate with any static site generator. […] Granted, this is a static website. As such, openring displays 3 random...
6 meses de blogDois posts em um já que eu não vou ser aquela pessoa que faz posts pequenos só pra entupir o RSS dos outros, porém deveria pra fazer o RSS dos outros ficar movimentado. Mas vamos ao que interessa, a uns dias atrás eu esqueci que já fiz 6 meses desde que comecei a escrever aqui. Inicialmente eu queria...
Well, this is it. We've come to the final week of 2025. As such, that puts us right at Christmas Day. If you celebrate: MERRY CHRISTMAS! If you don't, then I'm sorry that most things are closed today. At least you got a day off... unless you didn't; if that's the case, I already apologized. If you're actually...

This is the second installment in a series of curated quote collections I've gathered while reading Darwin's famous travel book. Read episode 1 here. Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle was more than a series of fun episodes. It was, first and foremost, a scientific expedition, and this job occupied Darwin...
I adore Seinfeld, it's my comfort food. But since I've seen all seasons multiple times, I've been looking for something new, but similar. You know, like the boring person I am. Curb Your Enthusiasm is a logical progression: half of Seinfeld creators (Larry is the one who has not yet endorsed a genocide), similar...
I haven’t put much thought into Christmas since I moved out of my parents’ home, aside from selfmade Advent calendars. I’m not a big fan of visiting Christmas markets, as the trinkets there seem useless and overpriced, and most of the (expensive!) food is not something I’ll eat. All the crowds and risks make me...
I got the basic riding gear, like gloves, a helmet, and riding boots, first. For some reason, it took me a while to get a riding jacket. Probably because I already have too many jackets and pullovers in my life and didn’t want to add another. But before the Kuppalli ride, Manju and I started thinking about a really...

Relationships are the great creative work of our lives. They are, like every creative endeavor, a process demanding both systematic intentionality and surrender. If we show up for that process with courage and consistency, it will surprise us, shatter our complacency, take us places we never thought we could go if...
I got an RC Kei truck for Christmas. I got it in RWD, and got some custom little wheels and drift slicks. The new wheels rub on the front control arms so I gotta get a bigger spacer or shave the inside of them. So the original wheels and tires are back on it for now. It's fun. The headlights turn on and it can carry...

I dreamt last night I was completely alone; for the first time, my so-called friends were nowhere to be seen. Just me and the aching, yawning silence I had forever been dreaming of. But as soon as I fell in love with the peace of mind, the echo of the void began to tug at my shivering naked body; where I was, I was...
December 2025. Sheffield. I’d left Mrs RM in Rye (Home 3) to keep an eye on her parents while I popped back on the train to check on Dad and Sunnyside (Home 2). But I also needed to make sure our actual home in Sheffield (Home 1) was still standing and pick up post, so it’s a good job that advance Cross Country...
What does one do on a Christmas morning before heading off to a Christmas dinner with the in-laws? Well, post about this great music project called Acid December, of course! But what is it, you ask? It’s a project that asks people to send in acid techno/electronica tracks during December. That way, every day a...
These are the books I read in the month of December, 2025. They’re not in order of me having read them, but rather in order of me remembering that I read them. R.U.R. (graphic novel adaptation) by Kateřina Čupová, trans. by Julie Nováková I know approximately two things about Karel Čapek: he was Czech, and he coined...
LISA is alive! Kind of. We had a really good field test of the system in this, our first week in Antarctica (though thank goodness for satellite wifi connection** to the rest of the world so LISA’s genius creator Helle Kjær could assist in troubleshooting). It was a bit of a struggle and I would say we came out...
Elio es la última película de Pixar, se estreno a comienzos del pasado verano y sin lugar a dudas es una producción entretenida, en la línea del estudio californiano. No es Elio una de esas películas que te impactan, para tratar la temática de la ciencia ficción, no llega al nivel de Wall·e. En todo caso, estamos...
