The death of my MacBook Pro
This never happened with me before. My personal MacBook Pro has died. Short circut on it’s motherboard was what the Apple’s Authorized Center said. I am luck that I keep everything in Dropbox and Github, but it is still annoying setup a new machine. I am for now using a MacBook Air that was with my father in law, but he haven’t been using it so I will be using it until I figure…
Small Communities Online
Back in March, Sara Jaksa posted my gift for the Secret Santa organized by Sara at the end of 2024. It took me almost a year to reply, this post has been in draft mode for a while. This is only the second post for this year on my blog and the year is ending with only a few hours left. So I basically neglect the blog in 2025. I have two main reasons for this, first I’ve had a busy mind with…
Indieweb Secret Santa Gift For Sara
When Sara posted that she was organizing a secret santa I jumped on it. I thought it was a really cool idea. Later Sara messaged me to tell that there wasn’t much interest but she didn’t want to let me without a gift so she was preparing one for me. I messaged Sara back saying she would also get one gift from me. So two weeks ago Sara posted my gift . I was thrilled how thoughtful it…
Indieweb Movie Club - It's a wonderful life (1946)
This month’s pick for the IndieWeb Movie Club , was It’s a Wonderful Life from 1946. I have heard about this movie many times before but I have never watched it. As the movie started and the story start to take shape I must confess I got a bit ansiosos about thinking what would happen with him that he would try to end his life. George Bayle (the main character in the movie) is the kind…
Indieweb Movie Club - All Against All (2019)
This month’s pick for the IndieWeb Movie Club , was All Against All from 2019. When Sara Jaksa mentioned that the plan was to pick a Slovenian movie I got excited since it would be the first time watching a movie from Slovenia. Later when Sara reviewed the pick and the synopsis I thought we were on to a nice treat. Now after watching it I am glad to say that my first thoughts about the movie…
IndieWeb Carnival - Multilingualism in a global web
This month’s IndieWeb Carnival is hosted by Riccardo with the theme multilingualism in a global web . I personally experience the web happens in two languages, Brazilian Portuguese my home tongue and English the language I’ve chosen for most of the writing and reading I do online. When I started this blog , over 20 years ago now, I was writing in Portuguese but later I decide to write in…
What I’ve learned from my 30 days collage challenge
Last month I have done a 30 days collage challenge here on my blog and it was fun. When you force yourself to do something sometimes can be less fun. There were moments during the last month that all that I wanted was going to bad but I had to work on my collage so I could keep the streak and publish on my blog a new collage for the day. But the fun part was sitting down and look for inspiration…
Indieweb Movie Club - The Wizard Of Oz (1939)
I’ve just finished watching The Wizard Of Oz from 1939. I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid. The movie was the pick for October’s IndieWeb Movie Club , that is hosted by James G. which by the way has a lovely blog that you should visit. I was surprised about how much I remembered of this movie, so I probably have seen it multiple times throughout my life, but I am sure I…

Indieweb Movie Club - When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Yesterday I sat down to watch When Harry Met Sally. The movie was picked up by Benji the host for this month’s IndieWeb Movie Club . I am a sucker for romcoms so I was glad to see that When Harry Met Sally, a classic, was the pick for the month. Rewatching the movie was both interesting and fun. Interesting because I thing that some of the sexist jokes haven’t aged well in…

Indieweb Movie Club - The Matrix (1999)
Well, well, where do I begin. I’ve just finished watching the The Matrix movie, the original. I’ve seen this movie so many times now. I left to the last day of the month but I wanted to participate in the first IndieWeb Movie Club , so much so that it felt a bit like homework, yet I am so glad I watched the movie again. Around the time The Matrix Resurrections was released in 2021 my…
Recovering space with Daisy Disk
I’ve been experiencing low free storage on my personal Mac and I mentioned that to a colleague. My colleague recommended using Daisy Disk to clean up unused data. Here it is a screenshot of the used data: When you run Daisy Disk it will scan your disk and create a breakdown, like the one below and you can navigate in order to find data you want to delete, most of the times you don’t…
A collage challenge
A couple of days ago I posted a collage I did using ProCreate on an iPad. Now that this month’s challenge is almost over I’ve decided to try another challenge, this time posting a collage per day for the month of September. Since I don’t own an iPad and used one that I had access to, but that won’t be always the case, I want to try to use Pixelmator Pro for the collages I…
Almost there
I am almost done with my 30 days challenge and I managed to stay on track. What should I do next? Challenges are hard but they push you through, so when I first post about this idea of the 30 day challenge, Sven mentioned on Mastodon and told me about the 100 days to off load so this is something that I am considering doing. I did a quick math and if I want to complete 100 posts by the end of the…

Fun accounts to follow on the fediverse
There are a few accounts in the fediverse that are quite fun to follow, some are bots other are maintained by people that usually do a great job keeping the fun stuff coming. Here are a few that I follow: Punkrock History @historyofpunkrock@sfba.social: publishes fun fact and photos of the good old punk rock. Long Live Rock N Roll @Long_ live_rock_n_roll@mastodon.world : Publishes stuff from the…
How I've been adding new pages to my blog
As I was adding my /slashes page yesterday I noticed that it always take me a while to remember all the steps I have to do to create a new page and add it to the nav bar of this blog/website. So this is a post to remind me of this steps: Create a new .md file under the /content/ folder. Change the config.toml file Create a new menu.main section adding the new page Change name , url and identifier…
My slashes page
I was browsing the Slash pages website to see what would be the next page I would add to my website when I saw the /slashes page listed there and I thought this would be an easy one to add and also one that I can update has I added more pages. It would be also a great page to have in case one day my nav bar runs out of space I can simply have the link there for the /slashes page. If you…
Activitypub microblogging alternatives
There are a few alternatives to Mastodon in the fediverse. You can easily find some list in websites like Join the fediverse , Fediverse Party and Fediverse Info . But I want to list someone that I found interesting: misskey - Built with typescript has a really cool Reactions feature. Pleroma - Supports both ActivityPub and OStatus. It is developed in Elixir. Firefish - This is a fork of Misskey.…
Converting playlists
I use Tidal for my music streaming and I’ve seen quite a feels people on the fediverse sharing their playlists from Spotify. So I looked around and found this app SongShift that allows you to convert from one music service to the other. And it works great. I’ve connected my free account from Spotify and my Tidal account. Once someone shares a playlist from Spotify I open it and add it…
