      <description><![CDATA[I&apos;m reviving my personal blog to share thoughts, stories, and reflections that last—beyond the fleeting nature of social media. Technical posts will stay on IT Notes; everything else finds a home here.]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;ve decided to start writing on a personal blog again. Not just on <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net">IT Notes</a>, where I&#39;ll continue to publish technical content as I&#39;ve been doing, but also on a more personal and general blog. And this for a number of reasons.</p>
<p>One above all: too many things I&#39;ve written on social media have disappeared into nothingness after a few days. Content there is meant to be momentary, ephemeral. It&#39;s not for nothing that we talk about <em>microblogging</em>: posts appear in timelines and then vanish in the continuous flow of new content. After six days, six months, six years... it&#39;s as if they never existed.</p>
<p>Looking back, years ago I used to use my blog just like it was a social network. I wrote about experiences, ideas, opinions. People would comment, creating an exchange. There were fewer haters back then — and when the phenomenon began to increase, we joked saying that &quot;they&#39;d sold too many modems.&quot;</p>
<p>Yet, those posts are still there. Those ideas, even after twenty years, are still readable. They&#39;ve moved from WordPress to Pelican, then to Nikola, and now (gradually) to <a href="https://bssg.dragas.net">BSSG</a>. They&#39;re Markdown files: simple, editable, exportable, convertible. They don&#39;t change in content, but they adapt in the way they&#39;re presented, remaining readable over time.</p>
<p>I&#39;ll write occasionally. When I feel the need to say something worth keeping. A bit like on social media, but also a bit like in a diary.</p>
<p>This desire came back to me while observing blogs like those of <a href="https://rubenerd.com/">Ruben Schade</a> and <a href="https://michal.sapka.pl/">Michał Sapka</a>, who consistently share their interests, projects, and thoughts. I won&#39;t be as regular, but alongside the &quot;quick bite&quot; posts on social media, I&#39;ll also create more reflective content, at my own pace.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, technical content will remain on <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net">IT Notes</a>. Everything else will be here.</p>
<p>See you soon!</p>

      <title>A new Journey</title>
      <link>https://my-notes.dragas.net/2023/03/18/a-new-journey/</link>

      <description><![CDATA[Let&apos;s start with a new blog!]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Welcome to my new blog</strong>! I&#39;m excited to start this new venture and share my thoughts on various topics, ranging from everyday life to the ever-evolving world of technology. Unlike my other blog, <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net">IT Notes</a>, which focused exclusively on technical content, this blog will be a space where I can freely express my random musings and opinions.</p>
<p>For those who are new to my writing, I have been blogging in Italian since 2006 on <a href="https://www.dragas.net">my personal website</a>. Back then, blogs were the main platform for people to share their thoughts and ide
as, and it was a fantastic way to connect with people all over the world. While social media platforms have since taken over as the main form of online communication, I still believe that blogging is the best way
 to express myself fully.</p>
<p>In today&#39;s world, it&#39;s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected, but blogging allows me to connect with others in a meaningful way. I hope that through this blog, I can share my insights, spark meaningful conver
sations, and foster a sense of community among my readers.</p>
<p>So, what can you expect from my blog? Well, anything and everything! I plan to write about my experiences, share my opinions on current events, and discuss the latest trends in technology. I also plan to include
some personal anecdotes and stories that I hope will be both entertaining and relatable.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read my first post, and I hope you&#39;ll continue to follow along on this journey with me.</p>
