Just picked up two new books from the library last night and moved them over to my Currently Reading section for 2025. Broken Code: Inside Facebook and the Fight to Expose Its Harmful Secrets by Jeff Horwitz and One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig Read the first chapter of each and they both did a good job pulling me in so far. I’ll be interested to see which one gets more of my attention and finishes first.
I feel like this time of year is always a bit of a struggle. After the holidays and all the visiting and eating and events, it feels like all that's left is an empty quiet. I feel like there's usually a slow down in news (I mostly follow tech news and this is a down time outside of CES, usually) but this year nothing I follow has been untouched by the current political climate.
I have not been able to get Readeck configured as an OPDS option for KOReader on my e-reader. Not sure if it’s a permission issue or what. Unfortunately there’s not much feedback when trying to connect other than a simple error message. I guess I can try and set it up with another application that supports OPDS and is easier to set up than entering all details manually on my e-reader.

Working on getting the Wrtiefreely CLI setup. It was pretty easy. Just install the go binary and authenticate with my server I'm trying to think through a good way to keep all my posts archived in a way that makes sense but is also under my control. With the CLI I will have the ability to write Markdown files and post them with a single command. This means I can create a git repo that will store and version everything and I can push that to a self hosted git repo manager like Gitea or Gitlab.
Linode and Yunohost have been great together so far. I've got a handful of services up and running and have completely moved my RSS – read-it-later workflow. FreshRSS to manage feeds and read them when I'm on a computer. On mobile (Android) devices I'm able to connect ReadYou and Cappy Reader to FreshRSS. Both are solid options and I haven't settled on one yet. For saving articles I want to take notes on or that are just longer reads I'm between Wallabag and Readeck.

Was inspired by Elena Rossini to try out Yunohost. What started as a brief trial of loading it onto a small linode server turned into a whole weekend of reworking my digital workflow. I've run a homelab server for about 4 years now and have a lot of useful tools on there. Due to ISP limitations and not really wanting to open up my firewall any more than necessary, I've not opened up my homelab for access outside my home network.

I’ve been bouncing around a lot lately, trying a number of different note-taking/Zettelkasten/whatever you call them apps: Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, and Org mode (for Vim, not Emacs). I love all the features they have, and the ability to connect related pages and build maps of relationships is really cool. Unfortunately, I’m just not sure how I can really benefit from it. If I were in school, I think it would be a great tool for keeping up with learning different topics. But I don’t know if I have the time to document my learnings for my job. I am constantly using new technologies and learning new things, but do I have the time to create well-structured notes for everything? I don’t know.

Working on transferring my domain regitsration from Squarespace to Porkbun. I originally had the domain through Google but they stopped offering the service and sold it off to Squarspace last year. Nothing against Squarespace. All the functionality and options are available and well documented. However, Porkbun $11.20 per year for digitallyadrift.com and Squarespace is $20. Both services have the same feature set. So I’m transferring this domain and if I like the Porkbun experience, I’ll probably move the couple other domains I have over as well.
