after a fun chat with @laurenshof.online and @ronentk.me I finally made time to write up some more thoughts about interoperability in the atmosphere without needing to share lexicons!

Thoughts on Bookmarking the Web - Henrique Dias
Yesterday I shared some atmospheric thoughts. One of the ideas was seeing which services do I use now that could be replaced. One of those is bookmarking. There’s two main contenders: Margin and Sembl...

Sometimes you want to report a bug and you’re a developer. You’re 99% sure it’s a bug, but there’s no email to be found. Almost no way to reach the right people. So you need to go through the hurdle of an AI chatbot, which at some point gets a human to talk to you.

Cool to see I can now easily add tags to my bookmarks (separate from the collections business). Is it time to start using @margin.at as my main bookmarks thingy? Perchance.
The new Margin update is here! 😃
It includes:
- New UI redesign with many amazing features like mosaic layout
- Moderation (blocking/muting + self-tagging annotations/bookmarks/etc)
- Many bug fixes
We are still working on the extension, and it will be availalbe soon!

Flying Into The ATmosphere
Since FOSDEM, I've gone down the rabbit hole of the world of the AT Protocol - or the ATmosphere, as some would say. I've learned about a lot of cool projects, tried some of them, and made my website also a bit more atmospheric. As such, I decided it was worth sharing!

Yesterday I imported all photo posts from my website to my PDS. I put the correct publishing date but I’ve learned since then that some App Views use the creation date instead of the publishing date for sorting. So if you’ve been spammed by my posts, I’m very sorry 😅

Today’s the second round of the #Portuguese presidential elections, which will decide whether we get a right wing populist president or a left center president.

I've just added some @standard.site lexicons to my PDS with my website as a publication and the latest post as a document. It validates!
I'm just a bit on the fence on whether it is useful for a static website like mine at the moment. Are there any other examples on the wild?

Excellent read recommended from seblog.nl. The post visuals really help feeling this emotions of guilt and of wanting to be up to date the whole time, but focusing on #RSSReaders. Recommend reading.

I've finally had a few moments to put down some thoughts about #FOSDEM 2026. Just like FOSDEM itself, my thoughts are also over the place, I think that's fitting for the conference: hacdias.com/2026/02/04/f...

Recently in January '26
January went in a blur: it feels like 2026 has just begun, and yet the first month is already gone. It reminds me of what my parents always say: the time goes by very fast, and it gets worse with age. Maybe I'm sort of getting to the point where I start noticing it more and more.

In just under a week, Portugal will be undergoing this year's Presidential Elections, in which the next president will be chosen. And what a ridiculous spectacle - to not say the other word that is in my mind - they are already.

Portugal in a nutshell: the ballots for the coming presidential elections will contain 14 candidates, but only 11 are valid. So voting on the remaining 3 yields a null vote. Something something court too late something. How ridiculous is this? 🥲

Now that the last year has ended, I can finally collect all the data from the different services. This year, we started with the "Year in Music", now followed by the "Year in Popcorn". It's a bit shorter than last year's due to some fuzzy data, but let's quickly recap.

Year in Music '25
The year has just begun, which means, similarly to previous years, it's time to share my musical habits throughout 2025. Around a month ago, I published my Spotify Wrapped 🎁, but I like to make my own analysis since Spotify releases their own way before the year ends. Let's take a look!

The snow is still going strong and, apparently, we have the most of it in the south of the country. We still went running this morning which was surprisingly not as bad as I expected and it came with an added bonus: the snow cleaned the shoes. It's so pretty!

The past few days, we have been graced with snow. For those who’ve been reading my posts for a long time, you know that I absolutely love it. We went for a walk yesterday and today again. It’s still snowing. So pretty!
