Offline-first approach

=> Offline-first approach

I've taken an offline-first approach to computing. I find it benefits me greatly, by using more resilient utilities, having technological sovereignty, and nonetheless spending less time on the Internet, more offline, even if it's on a computer.
I don't recommend data hoarding, I think each should keep how much data they consider to be useful, if they have the space required for it. Keeping offline wikis, dictionaries, translators, backups, passwords, can always prove to be helpful, relying less on hosted services, and more on yourself (Argos translate comes to mind as an offline translator).

Oversharing

=> Oversharing

For the last three days, once a day I've sat down with my UMPC and created an empty Gemini log file. I'd fill in the date and format all the links, then move my cursor to the body of the post. Minutes would go by, then hours. Each time I would find that I had written nothing. Eventually I'd close my editor in frustration, delete the file, and move on to other things.
Rob's Gemini Capsule has been relatively quiet this month, but it hasn't just been this month. I posted 30 fewer entries to my log over 12 months in 2022 than I did over 11 months in 2021, the year I launched the capsule. So far in 2023, every month except July has seen the same number of posts or fewer per month.
