## Analog

Lately, I have started to (re) discover the joy of using analog tools and
supports:

- pen and paper
- post-it wall
- film photography
- old poetry books from the 19th century

Actually, I plan to develop my negatives with [caffenole].

Unfortunately, I have delayed a bunch of tasks, such as regular posts and
infrastructure maintenance. In fact, I have decided to redirect a significant
amount of my free-time into *analog activities*, *sports* and *social events*.

## Suckless browsing

I have recently introduced new greasemonkey scripts and sensible default for my
qutebrowser usage.

*Youtube* has been entirely banned, mostly because of its toxic recommendations
and feeds. I have spent too much time consuming mindless content. Every video
or channel I want to watch is now automatically redirected to [yewtu.be].

Such as *youtube*, I have configured automatic redirection to [teddit],
[nitter] and [bibliogram] for *reddit*, *twitter*, *instagram*. The [teddit
frontend] is handy for browsing and reading solutions for software development
or random stuff. The [nitter frontend] and [bibliogram frontend] are mostly
used as a dumb, lightweight frontend when reading blog posts with hyperlinks
redirecting to social media.
