If you love the Free Libre web-comic Pepper & Carott, know that @davidrevoy has just added hardcover and soft cover comic books in his shop ! (already 426 books sold ans counting !) davidrevoy.com/static9/shop
It's a great way to support an indie Free Libre artist while gift shopping ;).

@mike I have been thinking the same. org-mode looks to have a lot more power and usefulness than from what I remember using 25-ish years ago.

The question for me will be . . . stick with the default Emacs keybindings in the hope that muscle memory comes back, or go with Doom Emacs to use vim keybindings?

Decisions, decisions . . .

@laura That's so sweet!

Belated "Happy Birthday!" and I hope you feel better soon.

@amolith As I understand it, both in general and from comments made in this conversation thread, you would likely get the most interaction with viewers by streaming on Twitch. So I selected that option in your poll.

I love this lidar scan of an archive room at the Centro de Henri Lenaerts in Navarra, Spain (an arts organization).

But it makes me heartsick for visiting archives in person :(

@amolith Looking forward to the blog post. This sounds like something I might want to try to set up as well.

yesss thanks to this article from @aaronpk I managed to set up a little server that lets me put any service I want behind Mastodon's OAuth so that only people with a friend.camp login can see it. It works for web apps that don't know what OAuth is -- you are just kind of "gating" them so that any request to any URL for the app must be authorized first. A little like .htpasswd but for OAuth.

I'll write this up in detail later but Aaron's post has everything you need.

Your experience of a place on the internet will be vastly improved if you unfollow and/or mute the most negative people who keep crossing your feed, and spend less time talking about all the things you hate.

Yes, any place. It feels nice. Try it.

Thanks @aral for the inspiration!

@amolith @coyote I think there is also an element of mobile carriers wanting to sell larger data cap plans in this equation, too.

I'm a data miser, and refuse to pay for more then the minimum I can find. I therefore also refuse to stream anything unless I am on WiFi. If I can't fit the music/video I might want on my phone, I just do without.

@sir All of this inspired me to migrate the last couple of old GItHub projects to my own Git server in my and delete them off of GitHub.

@neauoire as a general rule we never open anything in a new tab because it's a bad UX; you can always middle click if you want a new tab but you can't tell if a link is going to force one and there's no way to prevent it from happening if it would
