Weeklog #2033
Don't look for the first 2032 weeklogs, there are nowhere to be found.
In my recent nostalgia-based research of small web capsules, I've stumbled upon a blog where the author posts weekly updates : movies he watched, things he's done, updates on his project, all that kind of stuff.
I've decided that I would give it a try, but there's a chance that weeklog #2034 will never be published. Oh well ¯\(ツ)/¯
Anyways, this week I've been increasingly worried about loosing track of what I want to read, learn, or do. I've been searching and testing multiple bookmark / archive tools such as ArchiveBox or LinkWarden, but none of them stuck :
- ArchiveBox seems like a heavy machine, it misses a quick way to add links through a browser extension, and it lacks integration with my Miniflux instance;
- LinkWarden I only tested it locally for now, because for some reason my Internet Access Provider decided that from now on, ports 80/443 should be activated only through their online portal which I don't have access to right now. This wouldn't be a problem since I access my homelab exclusively through my VPN, but I can't set up the SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt without opening them. Also not a fan of the UI.
- LinkAce : Not tested yet
- LinkDing (Good luck with having a good SEO with this name, LinkedIn hijacks the top page every time I try to find it, plus it's hard to pronounce) : Not tested yet
I'm still on the fence when it come to hosting : I'm not sure if I want this tool hosted on miaw.be or if I want to keep it private behind my VPN. If i host it publicly, I could use it to future-proof the link that I share on this blog by sharing both the original resource and the archive version.
What I do want is a tool that :
- Allows me to centralize my bookmarks
- Save a local copy to prevent link rot
- Has a browser extension
- Integrates with Miniflux
Books and movies
- I started to listen to the Green Mile (La ligne verte) audiobook in French - I've read the novel years ago and I really loved it. The fact that the french version is being read by the actor that usually dub Tom Hanks voice is the cherry on the top.
- I'm still reading Salem's Lot by Stephen King (in French, too). I've started it weeks ago and while I want to finish it I'm struggling to connect with the story for some reason.
- I'm re-watching season 1 of Outlander
Misc
- I've learn how to use spell checking with LazyVim :
z=to the rescue - I've completely dyed the cabinet I'm working on (more on that later) - I'm not 100% convinced, but we'll see
