another web journey

Oops it's already two months since the last digest. Actually it's mainly because life (friends, family, housework, playing Tears of the Kingdom...) is holding up most of my time & tech related things are not of the top most priority. Nevertheless, here's a few updates.

Alright! I'm transforming these weekly digest into more or less monthly ones. Seeing all those similar posts make me dizzy.

Last week I..

• following my wife advice, disassembled and re-assembled my old laptop to check if I can change the HDD to an SSD and change RAM. It looks like it's feasible! I'll order the elements to do so later on (and probably take pictures to make a tutorial on iFixit 😊
• worked on fixing/upgrading some things on Bludit CMS and my PR have been merged, hurray!
• organized a travel so a friend can come and visit us in March 💚
• started the Lord of the Rings annual viewing with a friend who has a big screen!! Awesome (ate a delicious spinach-ring)

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!
