Over/Under questions with Hyde ✍️
While I did newsletters and reviews before, it never felt part of something as complete as this blog I'm running now. I've been doing this for more than a year (1-year bearyversary blogpost pending 😬), and I'm happy with what I achieved.
I remember when I first started and marvelled at the articles that other bloggers put out, or the blog setup/design they created. Or the names of bloggers who had been doing this for some time already, and were known in the blogging sphere. I looked up to them, hoping that one day I could be like them. Not in the way of becoming famous, but more as to be seen as a familiar and trusted face in the Indie web community.
Hyde from Lazybea.rs is one of those people I looked up to. I definitely saved his website in my MyMind, as inspiration for when I started working on my blog setup and design. And over time, I started interacting with him via Mastodon (and the great social.lol instance) through all posts, snapshots,... he and I were publishing.
Hyde runs an over/under series via which he asks other bloggers whether a certain item is over- or underrated. I read all of them, as they are a great way to get to know other bloggers, but also to learn about potentially interesting tools or topics. It was with great joy1 that I got his invite to add my cents on a few topics.
He asked me:
- Darktable (a small miscommunication as I use Darkroom, not Darktable)
- Fuji X100VI
- Andor
- Push-ups
- French fries
In case you're interested in reading my take on these topics, or want to learn more about Hyde, his blog and his over/under series, head out to his website at Lazybea.rs.

I'm not running my blog for the attention of others, and while it's easy to ask another blogger for their opinion, I feel it's a nice sign that I'm seen and trusted amongst others.↩
