Keunes<p>Hmm. What shall I do on my last day of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeekWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeekWeek</span></a> 🤔<br>🔲 Review & combine 2 <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@AntennaPod" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AntennaPod</span></a></span> PRs with documentation on F-Droid<br>🔲 Finalise the AP Python script that helps us inform folks when an issue they mentioned in a Play review is fixed<br>🔲 Continue with Open Podcast API episodes specification<br>🔲 Read up on & play around with Web Awesome, see if the open parts are sufficient for my needs<br>🔲 Update FOSDEM documentation base on my notes from January's edition<br>🔲 Vibe-code an article-to-Piper-based-podcast</p>
Keunes<p>I'm slightly embarrassed to say, but my desktop OS (Ubuntu 18.04) has been 'out of standard support' for well over two years now. Much of the software has no more update paths. Plus there are a few well-publicized security holes, the fixes for which aren't backported (naturally).</p><p>But: it's my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeekWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeekWeek</span></a>, so no more excuses. I finally backed up my data, and I'll wipe the hard disk and (hopefully manage to) do a clean Ubuntu install today.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>procrastination</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/installation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>installation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/installparty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>installparty</span></a></p>
Keunes<p>Yesterday I realised that GeekWeek sounds better than NerdWeek.

Keunes<p>Way past bed time, I'm ending day 1 of my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeekWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeekWeek</span></a>. I progressed nicely with a bunch of improvement requests created for the awesome <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@adventurelog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>adventurelog</span></a></span>: <a href="https://github.com/seanmorley15/AdventureLog/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20author%3Akeunes" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/seanmorley15/Advent</span><span class="invisible">ureLog/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20author%3Akeunes</span></a></p><p>And upgraded to 0.10 in the process, which has some very nice UI improvements 🎉<br>(this also also involved upgrading Postgres in the database container which was a bit of a challenge but went fine with the help of <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://threads.net/@anthropicai/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>anthropicai</span></a></span>)</p><p>And now, off to bed 😴</p>
