In the year 2025, printers still suck. I have a HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw Color Printer model (quite a mouthful) that has never vibed with me, but I also never considered to buy another model. It came out in 2010, has been nagging about its toners other than the black one being depleted since 2012, and has caused me more than a few headaches. HP CP1025-nw Color: the reason my hairline’s up…

I run a few (very) small websites, nothing serious: they’re not businesses, they’re hobbies. There is no risk involved if they would go down, apart from maybe disappointing a few hundred people that found a link to it on search engines. Because working on them is sometimes a fun challenge, but at the same time I am not a developer/sysadmin, there are two rules I follow: Try to do as…

I have the bad habit of switching note and task listing methods every so often. One product (or rather, system) that always loomed like a shining beacon on note-taking hill was org mode for GNU Emacs - a steep learning-curve tool that allegedly you “can live your life in” makes you “never look back”. After close to a year of daily & extensive usage, I am happy to share my…

Note: since this blog was written, Linode has been renamed ‘Akamai Cloud’. I am a big fan of RSS – both as a concept (easily readable and cataloged website updates) as “what it stands for” (an internet made from decentralized, low-weight information sources). The stories of its demise are largely exaggerated and are mostly fueled by the fact that the incumbent social media channels…
Living in the internet age, one tends to get overwhelmed with (often useless) facts on a daily basis. Fueled by hundreds of articles and studies via my RSS reader, social media, podcasts, journals and other content providers, the human brain meets more disposable knowledge than it can process. In 2021, I decided to keep track of one such piece of trivia every single day. Note: I replace broken…
