Last tab switching in Firefox
Keyboard shortcuts can make dealing with computers a lot easier. But for some unknown reason they are well hidden secret. This time I found a new shortcut for Firefox and would like to share it with you.
Obsidian and Quartz
Warning: I am a heavily invested Obsidian user. I am using Obsidian to interact with wikis, websites, this blog, databases and the file system. Most of my vaults are published to the web. To do so I am using Vuepress for most projects. In this blog I am exploring publishing with Quartz.
No images please
I received a mail from Patreon with subject “A feed with that cozy, old internet feel”. By default Thunderbird blocks remote content such as images. The irony here is that I was not able to read the mail. So much for the “old internet feel”.

Read the Magnifica Humanitas

If restic compresses and dedups files, does it makes sense to zip backup files beforehand?
Intersection of web search
Something peculiar happened, the biggest search monopolist Google decided to show ai summaries instead of search results. For years the search engine acted as a platform for advertisers and seekers. Now, the act is over and the emperor stands without clothes.
Hugo full-text RSS
I recently wrote that I started using RSS again. To be sure that the feed of this site works, I subscribed to my own blog posts. When I open the post in the RSS reader it only shows the introduction of the post.
