<p>While exploring the information superhighway to learn more about other feeds I wanted to post about on here, I also stumbled upon <a href="https://www.imood.com/" target="_blank">imood</a>, which possibly was a source of inspiration for status.cafe. Statuses are called moods, and have both a personal mood (some sentence that the user writes) and a base mood selected from a set. There are no feeds on this one though, so status.cafe is clearly superior.</p>

<p>Due to a long list of personal reasons, I stopped my weekly posting on this feed just a few weeks before the second anniversary of this feed. I have been trying to get back to posting regularly to my various websites, including this feed, with mediocre results. My mental health isn't good enough for me to promise any kind of regular posting from now on, but I will still be making some occasional posts on this feed.</p>
<p>I am building a small backlog of posts to hopefully allow me to post <em>somewhat</em> regularly, using something even worse than just writing XML by hand as I usually do in here. I created a database using LibreOffice Base on a whim, just because I wanted to play with that one evening, and ended up inserting about 50 feeds that I wanted to post and creating a form to start writing short descriptions of each feed to later post them.</p>
<p>Today, I somehow conjured the energy to rewrite the <abbr title="eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations">XSLT</abbr> that powers the HTML rendering of this feed, on browsers that do not support RSS feeds natively. It looks more refined, and I have some ideas for future extensions such as supporting enclosures, GeoRSS, Event RSS and more. It now also includes some optional JavaScript that fixes the <a href="https://envs.net/~lucidiot/rsrsss/feed.xml#d-o-e">HTML unescaping issue</a> on Firefox, making the feed much more readable. After finishing a first version of this new theme, I decided to finally post again and announce this possible return.</p>
<p>One of the many reasons why i have so little energy to post is that i feel like most of what i do is meaningless or not interesting to anyone, which is probably to be expected when i explicitly choose to ignore <abbr title="search engine optimization">SEO</abbr> or just when i work on very niche topics. if you want to help me fight the negative voices in my head, feel free to <a href="https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/contact.html" target="_blank">reach out to me</a>. Even just a single sentence to tell me you are reading me is hugely appreciated.</p>
