@mhoye I'd say sponge, pv, ts, and vipe. All these except pv are "moreutils".

Sponge buffers stdin, writing it to stdout or a file on EOF. Neat for overwriting a file in-place. E.g. `shuf file | sponge file`
Pv is like cat, but with a "progress bar". E.g. `pv file | nc ...`
Ts is like cat but it timestamps each line. E.g. `ts >> diary`
Vipe is like cat, but it lets you text-edit data as it flows through. E.g. `vipe > somefifo`

It appears that there was an issue on an instance from Ukraine. While the power was out, accounts were created to troll users.
Just a quick reminder that you should not accept every follower just because they want to follow you. Take that extra step to check out their profile. Check their followers count. Be diligent. Be safe. But, have fun!

It's the only way I drive.

For this #FollowFriday, I want to highlight @medium. "Wait," Sharon says, "I thought Medium has its own publishing thing."

That's right, Sharon! They do. That's why having them setting up their own #Mastodon instance, which they'll be inviting their writers to microbolg to, is so interesting. Props to @coachtony embracing the fediverse as part of their continued writers' mission . More here: https://blog.medium.com/medium-embraces-mastodon-19dcb873eb11

Of course, there is more to do. Some great ideas here: https://mastodon.social/@jesseKawell@hachyderm.io/109681956727733096

The list of [un]intentionally Turing-complete games welcomes a new entry: TETRIS! 🧱

Yes, as it turns out, Tetris is capable of universal universal computation. And if you don't believe it, there's even a simulator you can try for yourself! 👇

Mastodon bumps up the active user count when a user logs on, including right after sign up. I’m not surprised the monthly active user number is coming down a bit, there’s no service out there that has 100% retention on new sign ups.

As a procedural animation enthusiast, it is no surprise that Rain World is one of my favourite games of all time.

It's a true masterpiece from every angle you look at it!

From its unique aesthetics, to the incredibly complex AI that powers every creature.

If you are curious to learn more about the game, have a look at this documentary!
