+Here’s an update on my activity on the web.
+I haven’t been very active as I’ve focused more on other stuff.
+
+I’ve started biking more, which is great.
+It means I do some sport, but more importantly, it means I have a reliable
+mean of transportation.
+I hope I can continue avoiding getting a driving license.
+I’m not convinced personal motorized means of transportation will remain for
+very long, so I prefer to be prepared to live without them.
+Biking is slower, but I can ride 100km a day without issue, which means it
+would take just two weeks top from any two points in France.
+Of course, two weeks is a worst case scenario. I could go see most of my
+friends or family in less than a week.
+
+And I continue painting miniatures, which is nice.
+I feel like I’m improving.
+However, I’ve already purchased too many miniatures this year.
+I won’t buy any new ones, with some exceptions : if I find a cheap "Battle for
+the Skull Pass" box secondhand, the future Legions Imperialis box, and if
+something catches my eyes at the local gaming convention.
+Then next year, I won’t buy anything until I’ve painted some more, and then I
+would only get single miniatures.
+
+## Tilde Town
+
+I haven’t done a lot around here.
+I was mostly away, but I’m coming back.
+
+## Minis
+
+* I’ve continued reading through the *Horus Heresy* series.
+  I’ve written about [Battle for the
+  Abyss](https://minis.kestrels-and-roses.rocks/index.php?post/2023/05/10/Battle-for-the-Abyss)
+  as well as read Mechanicum, though I won’t publish a review
+  for it.
+* I’ve played my first solo game of [Space
+  Weirdos](https://www.wargamevault.com/product/359157/Space-Weirdos), [Patrol
+  on
+  Kabenarah](https://minis.kestrels-and-roses.rocks/index.php?post/2023/05/19/Patrouille-sur-Kabenarah).
+  It was quite fun, and I’ll continue this solo campaign !
+* I’ve finished painting the [Penitents of
+  Rausch](https://minis.kestrels-and-roses.rocks/index.php?post/2023/09/07/Les-P%C3%A9nitents-de-Rausch).
+  I’m very happy about my paint job there !
+
+## Computer stuff
+
+* I’ve done some more work on the [selfhost
+  wiki](https://unknown-artist-selfhost.frama.io/selfhost-wiki/),
+  notably finishing the instructions for running a Valheim server.
+* I’ve installed Calibre Web on my NAS. It was quite easy to do, although it’s
+  weird it requires creating a metadata file beforehand, and I had messed up
+  the permissions. Now I’ll be looking for an e-reader as mine broke a couple
+  years ago.
