Weeklog #2037
Family
We celebrated Noah's birthday on Tuesday, we had pizza and ribs and watched Moana on Disney+.
On Saturday we visited Trier's Christmas market - maybe I'm becoming an old bear but 25+€ for 2 cappuccinos and 3 hot cocoa felt like a rip off.
On Sunday Noah attended his first table tennis competition.
Books
I've finished The Green Line audiobook (in French) and I enjoyed every moment of it.
I've started listening to Bien sûr que les poissons ont froid by Fanny Ruwet. I've read the book a year ago and it was one of my best read of 2023. The book is read by the author herself.
I wish I would be able to focus on something long enough to know what I think about it
I don't think I feel any emotion strongly enough to be able to describe it.
Tech
I'm rediscovering newsboat thanks to Nico's post, and I'm happy to see that it seems to integrate very well with Miniflux, which I self-host.
I'll have a second look at it - I don't remember why I gave up on it, maybe I just forgot it existed - but I will need to find a way to integrate it with LinkWarden somehow.
Pro-tip, don't set reload-threads 100 if you self-host on a small VPS, it will kill your server -_-"

Weeklog #2036
Tech
I've started to work again on an old project of mine : the wall framed e-calendar. It's not framed yet, and certainly not on the wall, but I've started playing around with the ESP32 and the e-ink waveshare screen that I have sitting there for at least 2 years
Comics and Books
No comic book this time, but we've finished the reading of Charles 1943 with the kids. Aidan definitely didn't find it interesting whatsoever, he was mainly drawing on his desk or looking at another book while I was reading it to his elder brother, but Noah did enjoy the story.
We went to the public library on Saturday and we chose Coup de foudre by Nicolas Ancion. I've read one of his book when I was a teenager and his name caught my attention.
