New blog post time!
This week, we're doing something silly for the holiday:
You know that little fingerboard that came with Yanya Caballista: City Skater for the PS2? What if we tried it on other games? What if we tried it on other controllers? The results... will shock you? Maybe?
Ab sofort ist Comic-Sans DIE Hauptschriftart von Jansens-Pott.
Comic Sans ist die Helene Fischer der Schriftarten: Keiner gibt es zu, aber irgendwie haben alle sie schon mal benutzt. Sie taucht auf Geburtstagseinladungen von Oma, auf schlecht designten Firmenplakaten und in PowerPoint-Präsentationen auf, die nach purem Chaos schreien.

Insgesamt bin ich von »Das große Spiel« enttäuscht. Von der Freundschaft zwischen Rafi und Todd abgesehen, bleibt vieles oberflächlich, von übertriebenen Sprachbildern ornamentiert, darunter seltsam leer. Schade, denn der Roman begann vielverspechend.

What I've listened to, watched, read, and did in March.
I haven't finished any book book this month ... Again :( Too many TV shows, and movies probably. Or, time spent chatting in #Signal.
I've done 5,260 push-ups for the #50kPushUps challenge.
I ran also around 36km.

It's not an Aprils fools; exactly 10 years ago we had our first band rehearsal at the Willem Twee Studios.
Lars, Arie and me jammed on a couple of songs like 'the Weary Kind', 'Mack' and 'Tell it to me'.
The latter has been a live staple in our set for almost 9 years.

I want to document the way you might have a possibility to use the same software to make a similar website. @Madiator2011 already done that with blog.madiator.com. Lets go over: where you get the code, how do you set it up, how do you publish, how do you manage accounts, and most importantly, how do you modify everything, so it will look like your own thing.

Today is April Cools Day, where we post 100% genuine essays where the *choice of topic* is the surprise.
In my university's computer security class, my team discovered zero-click remote code execution vulnerabilities in a bunch of real-world apps. But the RCEs were just the start!

I just finished watching the first episode of The Studio on Apple TV+.
And I didn’t love it.
*I LOVED IT.* 
(Well of course I did, Seth Rogen is one of my absolute favorite stars ever. He's the good Rogen, not the bad Rogan. Even so… 
)

Right I’ve asked this before but I didn’t save the responses sufficiently because I’m a silly goose but now I’ve got a new RSS reader on my phone does anyone have a #blog or any recommendations for cool blogs I can follow? Interested in music, mostly #metal, but also open to #science and tech stuff as well as #VideoGames but happy to look at anything really. Thanks!
Does anyone else have a print newspaper subscription? I just signed up for one and I'm pretty excited about it. Hoping to break my doomscrolling habit and improve my mental health.

Some WordPress numbers from my blog... 
I've had my WordPress blog since December 14th 2019. I've been sharing a lot since. The total counter says I've posted 1918 posts so far. Some were re-blogs of posts that friends shared that I enjoyed a lot. But many were/are mine.
And yesterday, I got this streak milestone. I shared posts 1750 days in a row! That's 250 weeks... Or ±57½ months... Or ±4,8 years... Which gets is to about 4 years and 9 months...
I've started the blog 1935 days ago... So yeah, it's been a while of contiguous posting since! 
Anywhoo... I still have several posts ready to be shared. But I will need to finish the journal post this night, as that needs to go live at 7. 
can't break the streak! 
New blog post: Things I learned from translating free software projects
https://rennerocha.com/posts/things-i-learned-from-translating-free-software-projects/
Sharing some things that I learned when I decided to translate two projects (@gancio and @pretix) into Brazilian Portuguese.
I'm not sure how it is for other topics, but when it comes to programming topics, I keep finding more and more AI slop on "developer" blogs. It's getting to the point where finding helpful content is more and more difficult. I guess because the people who don't actually care about knowledge can spew slop at a much higher rate than people who produce quality content.
Dev blogs used to be a decent supplement to library docs. Not really any more.
