Twenty-four years together
A rare personal post on my blog.

Twenty-four years ago today I met my other half. I can't believe how much time has passed, yet it seems to have been a short 24 years.

Dear fedi-friends, I could use your input for my next #blogpost : I'm curious to know how well you can remember the contents of the books you've read. And whether or not you use any tools or methods to retain the information better. Please let me know your methods as a reply, boosts are appreciated.

On a scale of 1-5, how well can you typically recall the contents of a book, after having finished it three days ago?

Part three-months-later reply to @thelinuxcast https://mtwb.blog/posts/2025/keeping-a-calendar-is-a-waste-of-time/ and part my take on the subject and maybe it'll help or at least inspire someone somewhere somehow somewhen.

Ellis gave us Reagan’s hollowed children. Welsh gave us Thatcher’s lost boys. The films gave us smoothies. Less Than Zero was gutted; Trainspotting was diluted. Junkies as simulacra, copies of copies, safe for consumption. Literature showed us rot; cinema pasteurised it.

FFmpeg 8.0 und das komplett ignorierte Feature

Ja, ja, FFmpeg 8.0 ist erschienen. Toll. Hat auch schon jede Seite drüber geschrieben. Alle Seiten davon haben einfach nur den Blogpost von denen übersetzt, rausgerotzt und nicht weiter beachtet. Den kompletten Changelog lesen? Fehlanzeige! Warum das aber wichtig ist?

zum Blogpost…

I've found a nice way to organise my feeds (e.g. websites or the Fediverse) using the zones from permaculture. See the image for a general impression, I've written more on how I use it here:

I'd be happy to hear whether this system could work for you or not, especially once you've given it a try.

What systems do you use to keep track of favourite writers and reduce the overwhelming feeling of the unread counter?
