And it has led me to adopting an extreme take on the UNIX philosophy to everything in my life. Taking a tool bag instead of a multi-tool approach to digital life. Giving the option to remove the tools not needed for a job behind. basically packing the bare essentials for that task. This led me to putting together single purpose devices like my PI-writer-400 for a focused writing, then a dumb phone for bare bones phone needs, also an old IPod mini for listening to Music, Audiobooks, and Podcasts while driving or tasks around the house. I also have been experimenting with a analog note system called Antinet which is back to basics take on the original zettlkasten system created by Niklas Luhmann. I've been playing with this system to learn how it can be applied to a new better way of living, that combines aspects from the past and the present and what works best for a better, thoughtful, and happier life. ]]> #antinet #zettlkasten #notes #digitalminimalism

A few days ago I started to flash the internal storage of the Kindle with the Raspberry Pi imager, i thought it was the SD card i forgot to plug in. So i reset the device (thank god i have a backup of my .EPUB file). Then after restoring the device, text to speech did not work and the device is so old i could not register it to see if it would fix it. So I started to jailbreak it to put KOReader on it. It has been stuck on the boot screen for 2 days. Now it's dead I am charging it to try to revive it. Update Its working again, but it is not jailbroken]]> #koreader #raspberrypi #kindle #100DaysToOffload So I use a Kindle 4th gen (the touch version).
