Longing
Grateful for all the healing she brought me, my sadness is transforming in a gentle longing.
When I stop myself to look into the future, the healing, the absorption of the past can happen.

The trickster
God tricked me. By fulfilling all my desires he left me with nothing else to do than to chant his name all day

Chess with fog of war ♟️
I enjoyed this chess variant made by eapl. You can only see the squares near your pieces.

Git and Email Patches
I saw a post about using git send-email (thank you Ploum!) and it looked like a thing I should know how to do.
I didn’t actually have sendmail (or msmtp) installed on my development system. Crazy, right? I had been using protonmail for so long that I didn’t bother. Mutt with proton uses the Protonmail bridge. So I had a little more setup to do to get ready.

MNT Pocket Reform repair
My Pocket Reform was out of service from about September 2025 because it showed charging issues (it charged sometimes and sometimes not and it charged only to random level like 50%, 70% or even 5%, depending of its mood). While its not-so-great WiFi reception and its overheating in summer are things I can live with, the charge only up to 5% was way too much to me. So I gave up.
The Charging Board V2 arrived this week so I tried to make the device work once again.
The first thing I have done was finding and printing the new On/Off switch for the Pocket Reform. The switch is for setting the battery to on/off mode. This actually disconnects the battery from most of the device so this thing is useful for saving of battery and for resetting of stuff. The original design required to reach the switch through a narrow hole (not an easy task).
