  • @stekosteko

    Today I deactivated the @stekosteko account at Twitter. It had been inactive for four years, but deleting it right now is a good thing to do. I have an archive of all my tweets, someday I will publish it but I doubt there is anything that important in it. I was very active on Twitter…

    Replacing the battery of Huawei P10 Lite with iFixit

    A few months ago the battery of my smartphone, a regular Huawei P10 Lite, started acting abnormally. Not only battery life had become very short, but some activities like trying to take a photograph would make the phone shutdown immediately.

The most famous of such diagrams is perhaps the “material culture triangle” in which…

  • Low back pain

    Low back pain

    I have been going through an acute event of low back pain a few months ago (the so-called colpo della strega), and I’m slowly recovering to normality ‒ still no lifting of heavy weights for me. It hurt me a lot, suddenly, but in retrospect it was not a surprise, because I had been having…

  • Bello il discorso di George Saunders agli studenti

    Bello il discorso di George Saunders agli studenti. L’unica cosa che non ho capito è perché abbiano tagliato la parte in cui dice “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. Perché da qualche parte là fuori c’è ancora qualche minchione convinto che quell’altro fosse un gran discorso.

    Trying to recover my Twitter account.

  • Out of Twitter

    I am currently locked out of my Twitter account, and for some reason the support tickets I submitted didn’t receive any response. In the meantime, you can have fun reading my blog and https://identi.ca/steko
