In the nineties I bought an IBM PC-XT from a classmate. 200 Francs, about 45 € or $ from 2022, for a pretty nice looking computer with his green CRT and 102 keys ISO AZERTY keyboard. I didn’t know what to do with this system and I barely started it every 10 years thinking that one day it will be useful.

Dan Mace is one of my favourites youtubers. I love EVERYTHING in his videos. Everything. And I am always amazed about how he puts his ideas into stories.

A cheap device to geolocate at the centimeter level.

To try the conversion of my car I did a small tour in the south of France and spent two nights at Cap d’Agde, a big seaside summer city. I have been vacationing in this place with my family since the end of the 70’s until the 90’s.

I enjoy landscape timelapses, I can watch them for a long time on the web.

I used Matomo for many years as an analytics platform for my websites. two problems here: I am not fond of MySQL/MariaDB (I’m most of a PostgreSQL fan) and Matomo is overkill for my usage. Time to move to GoatCounter!

I am using Isso as a lightweight commenting system for a few websites hosted on my FreeBSD server, and until recently I was using supervisor to daemonize and control the instances. But why using a third party process control system (event if it is does a great job) if we can do it with FreeBSD native mechanisms ?

My approach is to use only built-ins tools from FreeBSD to run a Ghost instance.
