Acabo de descobrir que es poden emprar els mapes de l'ICGC (https://www.icgc.cat/) a l' #OSMand - Gràcies per recollir-los, @osmcatala@mastodont.cat ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ca:Institut_Cartogr%C3%A0fic_i_Geol%C3%B2gic_de_Catalunya ) i a l'ICGC per facilitar-ne l'ús a la comunitat.

I recovered the scrolling wheel of my Logitech M570 mouse thanks to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egmqhzg6cPA It is amazing how such a simply cleaning procedure can help things out!

Mentre estava llegint el llibre Selfie (2017), de Will Storr, en un dels capítols constantment em ressonaven les habituals crítiques al sistema educatiu català actual. Un article resum del capítol en qüestió: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/jun/03/quasi-religious-great-self-esteem-con

I use Tokyonight themes (https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim) in most of my terminal applications. So, why should not use them in my #GNOME Desktop Environment as well https://github.com/Fausto-Korpsvart/Tokyonight-GTK-Theme ?

Using the install.sh CLI is quite straightforward, and you can choose the just installed look and feel by using GNOME tweaks tool (https://itsfoss.com/gnome-tweak-tool/). Some additional icons are also provided!

Avui fent la tirada llarga de cap de setmana, m'he trobat amb un escenari propi de l'imaginari apocalíptic: una infraestructura humana conquerida per la natura. És el camí de Can Marcet (https://www.openstreetmap.org/?#map=17/41.498043/2.069131), a Sant Cugat del Vallès, on sembla que tot un carrer, amb voreres i instal·lacions com arbustos i fanals, però sense edificar-hi als costats, ha estat abandonat i engolit per la vegetació . Tot un espectacle!

Quan vaig a córrer per la muntanya acostumo a planificar la ruta amb #OSMAnd (una aplicació mòbil basada @osmcatala@mastodont.cat). A vegades miro d'improvisar i explorar nous corriols, que llavors s'incorporaran en l'amalgama de fragments per configurar rutes futures. Per a fer-ho, exporto la traça GPS de l'aplicació del meu rellotge esportiu i la importo en el web de l'OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces - Més informació a: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Upload_GPS_tracks). Tot seguit miro de dibuixar i desar els corriols resseguint la traça importada.

Cada mes hi ha actualitzacions de mapes a l'OSMAnd i el més segur és que les contribucions fetes s'hi hagin incorporat. Amb això, ja puc marcar noves rutes i permetre que altres corredors o excursionistes també se'n puguin beneficiar.

A good thing about having a sports watch is that it helps you become aware of the negative effects of evening #alcohol consumption by disrupting your #sleep ( https://runningwithrock.com/garmin-body-battery-hungover/ ). Despite being a sedative substance (making you fall asleep sooner), it reduces the amount of quality REM sleep (associated with memory and cognition) or delays its onset during the night ( https://theconversation.com/alcohol-may-help-you-fall-asleep-faster-but-it-leads-to-a-worse-nights-rest-overall-heres-why-246841 ). Regarding athletic performance , it also affects many metrics such as "resting heart rate" and "heart rate variability" that, in the end, are linked to body recovery after training ( https://www.triathlete.com/nutrition/a-nutritionist-shares-what-a-month-of-no-alcohol-did-to-his-body/ ).

A bit of #devops ranting. I used GitHub Actions to generate public #Docker images and upload them to registries like Docker Hub. However, for a couple of weeks, GitHub-hosted runners (using Ubuntu 24.04) stopped building #arm64 images . To my surprise, there is no major issue with locally hosted runners besides their resource consumption inconvenience. Since I keep a simple CI/CD (trigger and crons) I was wondering whether it might be worth using act ( https://github.com/nektos/act ) instead and inspecting resulting logs with CLI tools such lnav ( https://lnav.org/ ). Of course, I could always revert to Makefile or Shell scripts .
