  1. Today, PC DOS 7 was the first time I personally encountered floppy disks in the 1.840K XDF format. For a moment, I was really confused and couldn't handle these disks at all. They appeared broken or unreadable, no matter what I tried! Luckily, after a little tinkering, I finally managed to make it work... and beautifully!

  2. My goal for 2026 is to manage my digital stuff more effectively on my own (self-hosting)! 😉

    That’s why YunoHost is my current project—I’m researching it and narrowing down my options. 😁

    I like and need to tinker with digital stuff every now and then—even if it sometimes causes stress and makes me tear my hair out. 😅

    So far, @markus has taken care of managing my digital space, which works perfectly and without any issues. 👌

    In the future, though, I want to get more involved myself again and learn a thing or two along the way, especially since I’ve been using Linux—specifically Mint (for work) and Arch (for gaming)—in my personal life for a few years now. 😊
