another web journey

Busy week! Apart from working I...

• did some catsitting and associatives activities for les éditions du samedi, Alsace Réseau Neutre and Le Stück
• read about the Navigator API share() method (maybe for non-merci project), the output element (a reminder it exists lol), and the announcement of a new HTML type of tag!
• started working on Scribus for our next project at les éditions du samedi. Challenging and very time consuming but I'm getting there!
• updated Eleventy dependencies for les éditions du samedi website

Well this week I did travel for a long time. I read some interesting things while surfing the internets:

• that LibreOffice is now compatible with markdown - see post on GoodTech.info (in French)
• some tips from Matthias Ott to fight against Webspace Invaders, aka AI bots. It's not much but I've updated robots.txt for this blog and will do the same for some other sites I'm responsible of!
• some news on Eleventy on 11tybundle.dev - particularly interested into the 11tyCMS beta, I may try this out someday.
• that there was someone maintening sudo (I didn't imagine it was something that required maintenance) and... it's only one guy! And he needs help. See post on The Register

I also discovered that all my pull requests for Bludit were rejected, without explanation (but it looks like all opened PR were rejected, which is kind of confort). This is probably because it needs to be resubmitted against the updated version (which does not seem to work so well) but no word from the mainteners. It feels a bit rude.

Ooops I did not find time lately for these little posts... So here's a brief recap of what I've done in the past few weeks:

• visiting friends and family in Paris (and some museums like Musée de la Libération, la Contemporaine and the Zadkine museum)
• listening to music: the Epic saga and the work of Juju Vagabond that I saw playing live 😊
• reading Nos puissantes amitiés an essay from Alice Raybaud about the strength of friendship... Very inspiring! And an invitation to take care of our closed ones.
• went to the cinema, a conference prior to the local elections, played boardgames...
• worked on non-merci (see the datalist post haha) and commited myself to create the print PDF for our upcoming project at les éditions du samedi, with Scribus... That won't be easy!
• saw that Bludit updated! I've got to update all my Bludit sites then 😎
• read Introduction to the new HTML element <geolocation>, a very interesting blog post from Matuzo!

Alright folks, this week I wanted to share my quest around the datalist element not properly working on Firefox for Android since... forever?

This week I...

• took my bike on a train to get closer to have a walk in mountain / forest with a friend. It was all misty but great to get a big bowl of air! And it was the occasion to discover the project of the Fish Doorbell in Netherlands (on pause until early March!) and the peasants riots nearby and in Germany (Bundschuh and the 12 articles text - in French) 
• listened to podcast episodes shared by a friend about typography! Style is a bit old but content remains interesting: about Donald Knuth and the birth of TeX and about the history of typography - both in French.
• read blog posts: The Incredible Overcomplexity of the Shadcn Radio Button (about over complexity from UI libraries) and the announce of jQuery 4.0.0! Not a daily user but there's so much jQuery out on the web that it's still useful to know what's going on.

Today I scanned my driving license from my Linux (Manjaro) computer. Quite an adventure! 🤠
