[...] Instead, I picture a specific person and I just write for them. Often this person is "me, but 3 years ago" or a good friend.

Since the end of last month, I no longer see new podcast episodes for a podcast that produces daily episodes.
No amount of refreshing or unsubscribing/re-subscribing helped so far.
Especially annoying is that the episodes are there when searching for them, but do not show up in the subscribed podcast while episodes of other podcasts show up without any issues.

Today I finally found a way to fix it:

1. Open the Settings app of the iPhone
2. Go to the app settings for the Podcast app
3. Scroll down and click on 'Reset Identifier'
4. Restart the Podcast app
5. Enjoy your missing episodes showing up again 😎

Will see how this performs in the long term and hopefully improves my personal web search experience.

Happy 24th birthday, x-log 🥳

The Multiple URLs in Git Remote article explaines how git handles multiple URLs.
Biggest takeaway for me is that you can have git push transparently push to two URLs at the same time.
Might become handy in all the ongoing discussions about GitHub reliability…

Blog Quest is a Firefox extension by Robert Alexander that quietly collects RSS feeds when you surf the web.

I like the idea of passively collecting feeds of websites I potentially find interesting, all while preserving my privacy and being unintrusive (no notifications, popups or similar).
Installed it today and already looking forward to review my surfing from time to time 😎
