I just wrote that last sentence to the tagline, and it started out as “it needs to be scriptable”. I’m trying to stop writing or saying that. “Has to” means the same thing as “needs to” but it sounds, at least to me, less agressive. I feel people should generally sound nicer, so why not start there.| thefoggiest.dev
Some time ago I wrote about FreshRSS being my new and favourite RSS reader, but that it had a little problem, formed by those RSS feeds that are created by atomail, a script that is running on my own mailserver. Atomail converts emails, based on their sender fields, into XML files and creates RSS feeds based on that. How nifty is that? It was originally created by Curtis Wilcox and you can find my fork on my personal project mix.| thefoggiest.dev

That new camera I bought, came with a manual, in which all the different functions were explained. I'm having tremendous fun going through all its functions and coming up with little exercises to practise them. This takes serious time, which is why I'm not trough yet.| thefoggiest.dev
A decade or so ago we went to a shop to buy a portrait lens for our Nikon D3000. The gentlemen in the shop selling it to us, looking at my wife, stated that many people buy lenses like that, when expecting a child.

I got a new phone. It’s my first real smart phone, it has Android and two CPU cores. I like it. It’s an LG Optimus 2x and it looks like this:| thefoggiest.dev
I’ve done it before, for a single month. I remember starting at my new job during that month and someone from HR requesting me to take a picture of my ID using my phone and send it to them. My PinePhone's camera didn’t work properly, so I had to ask one of my new colleagues to help me out.| thefoggiest.dev
This is the second A decade of phones I write, but last time I still called them cell phones. What prompted that post was the arrival of my then brand new LG Optimus 2x, my first Android phone, which had an absolutely glorious weather widget.| thefoggiest.dev
As a follow-up to a post describing what would be involved for me to daily drive a Linux phone, you could wonder why this would in any way be better than Android. After all, an Android phone will still be needed and remain charged, even though I won’t need to carry it around.| thefoggiest.dev
