2026 weekly digest #1

January 9, 2026 - Reading time: 3 minutes

This is a new category for short notes and keep track of interesting (or not) blog post / info etc. !

Reading

• Book: reading Piranèse from Susanna Clarke for the office book club
• Blog:
  • https://www.clicetcetera.fr/general/pour-retrouver-un-web-douillet/: about installing and using a version of Firefox that does not use AI / how to configure uBlock Origin (among others). In French
  • https://andromedagalactic.com/blog/rethinking-tooltip-with-interest-invokers-and-popover: about using interest invokers and popover to rebuild tooltips. To be tested
• Music (yes, in reading category): listened to Superbus new album on Deezer. It sounds great! I'm going to see them later this year with my sis.

Computing

• Did some research about Raspberry Pi Pico for a gift for my nephew. Projects from https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pathways/pico-intro look very cool but the Kitronik kit cannot be shipped to France 😕 I found another kit on Kubii but it's much more expensive. We will ask my father-in-law if he can get the LEDs, wires and so on easily. Anyway I would be happy to have this to myself as well!
• Started my "what I eat not" project. I told my mum during Christmas holidays I would try to have something by the end of the year! It was renamed "Non merci" and for now is in French. I pushed a first draft on a subdomain (and connected the subdomain to the project on GitHub in OVH backoffice! At least tried. I have to solve an issue so it is automatic). You can try it on https://nonmerci.jboisseur.xyz/ 
• Framasoft accepted to open a frama space (Nextcloud instance) for the publishing structure I'm involved in! I'm very happy of that and I'll try to configure it this weekend.
