  • Oui mais en 2023, il y a eu la crise énergétique avec flambée des prix... Pas sur que les habitudes ont suffisamment changé avec la baisse des prix pour que cet effet soit pérenne sur le long terme... On verra les stats de 2025.

  • I use SimpleHttp server but it's not open source and available only on play store. I use this to download epub from my e-reader after having downloaded them on my phone. Now I will look into foss solutions proposed in this Post, through termux or other apps, thanks.

    Edit: indeed with termux + caddy + termux widget it's just perfect

  • Finished Into the water by Paula Hawkins. I would say that it's not as gripping as I thought. What is as much a plus and a minus point is tge change of narrator every chapter. At first, I was pleased by this "not so usual" way of writing but at some point, I just got lost about who is who and I had to search a list of characters on the web. That's perhaps because I had not a lot of time to read, so it took a while.

    I started Behind her eyes by Sarah Pinborough. I know there is a Netflix show inspired by this but I prefer to read the novel first (or only we will see).

  • The issue with the current time zones in Europe is that they are far from being natural... The more you go to the west the later the sun is raising and setting, the more you go to the east, the opposite. Current western European time zone is too large... There are initiatives to improve that but will it be done ?

    For example: https://timeuse.barcelona/what-we-do/permanent-time-zones-eu/

  • Just finished Nuclear war, a scenario by Annie Jacobsen. This nonfiction book about a fictional scenario about what a nuclear war would be really shaked me. I strongly recommend it. Read it in a few days because it was really gripping (ok this week have been a bit hard with the few sleep hours each night).

    Not yet found what I'll start reading now but something lighter for sure (perhaps a crime/mystery/thriller, has been long since I read a good one). If you have some recommendations, they are welcome.

  • A bit on the costly stuff but I find the vacuum cleaner robot (not sure it's called this in English) very useful. The house is cleaner to be vacuumed every day (even if it's not as efficient as manual vacuuming or cleaning). Especially with pets and children.

  • Indeed, being Belgian and an adept of the real French fries (double cooked) I was not convinced at all. In the end, I still prefer real fries but I find the air fryer very practical to cook (or warm up quickly - unlike microwave oven it does not make stuff soft) all sort of food.
