Anyway, this week has also brought many really positive things. Yesterday morning I had a meeting with a public institution. The people in charge are really good, both technically and as human beings. We've known each other for almost 20 years, and we've been working together ever since. "The […]

Nothing new, but I'm disappointed. Many years ago, Linux represented the alternative. The question was: "Why don't you just use Windows? It's easier." And the answer was, almost always: "To be free." The "bazaar" spirit of Linux and its distributions made us feel free. Personally, I've always […]

Sometimes you see people making the wrong decisions for the right reasons. But how do you tell them you think they’re wrong when, all things considered, their reasons are actually right? #life

Today is going to be a very important day. I have a meeting that means a great deal to me, and its outcome will shape something very close to my heart. It will mean a lot of work for me, but hopefully just as much satisfaction. Things are looking very promising so far. Fingers crossed! 🤞 […]

The fog muffles the lights and the colours. The fog muffles the noises and sounds, creating a penetrating silence everywhere. It's Sunday, there's fog and it's silent outside. Old photo, but could have been taken today. #SilentSunday #Fog #Autumn #Fall

A foggy road in Ferrara, Italy. Lights are smooth, colours are strange and fading, everything is silent.

Another kind of Tiramisu. Extremely good. #Food #Tiramisu

A generous slice of tiramisu on a large white plate, with layers of coffee-soaked sponge and creamy mascarpone, generously drizzled with glossy chocolate sauce and topped with colorful candy-coated chocolates. Two forks rest on either side, ready to share this sweet treat.

Don’t look back in anger Sometimes life is hard and we have to overcome nerve-racking situations. But never look back in anger, you will find some light even behind you. #ThrowbackThursday #Photo #Photography

This photo shows a car's mirror. You can see the road, a part of the car and the sunset at the very end of the landscape. Colours are warm, mainly orange. I wanted to symbolise the past and, if you look back, you can find some light even if you didn't expect to see it

I want to publicly thank @dch The FreeBSD port of littleFedi was already ready at release time, and it’s really well done. One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux. The first public instance, my own […]

For some (many?) years, I’ve embraced a philosophy: _defuse_. When a situation is going nowhere and the tone starts heating up, the best thing to do is to _defuse_. Going on would only make things worse, with the risk of saying something I might regret later. Is it right? Not always. Is it […]

Yes, the BSD Cafe has been upgraded. But this is a test, as Mastodon changed some of the quote post behaviour in 4.7.x and I'm trying to see if littleFedi is still able to manage it 😉

There is a cricket, a single cricket that chirps every evening outside the bathroom window. So loud that it can be heard even with the windows closed, and it's a curious phenomenon because I had never heard one this loud before. These are the sounds I will miss, with the cold. Goodnight, world!

Torta Tenerina vs. Torta di Tagliatelle: who won? (The result is in the alt text) #Food

Two traditional Ferrara's cakes side by side: a dark chocolate Torta Tenerina dusted with powdered sugar on the left, and a golden Torta di Tagliatelle topped with thin, nest-like strands and powdered sugar on the right.
So, who won? Both of them, because I ate them both. 😄
