@chris @chris_herd I'm definitely in the "I actually work better at the office than I do at home camp", but I am also glad that more and more people are starting to have the option to choose.

I just pushed up tag v0.1.5 of my Basic Hugo Theme.

kevin.thecorams.net/2019/11/ba

This is the first version that I'm semi-officially announcing. I think it has all of the building blocks that I intended to use in a very basic theme, and the theme documentation is more-or-less complete.

I suppose I should go ahead and call it version 1.0, but I'll wait to see if any more flaws in it shake out from using it as the theme for my Personal Siite.

I think I need to rename my recently launched website. @torproject already uses the tag line of "Take back the internet", so it doesn't seem right for me to use the same one.

I'm not trying to take back the whole internet, anyway. Just my little corner of it.

@sir As a long time book reader, I am so used to black type on a white background that Dark Mode just seem strange. I am trying to get used to it, because in theory it is better for my eyes, but habits are very hard to change.

@Alamantus@cybre.space Very true! I agree with most of the discussion that happened between when I replied (only saw one other reply at that point) and when I see my comment in the message thread.

If people want to send me a whole busy/responsive website they can send me a link to it. And like the paranoid email reader that I am, I can ignore the link and/or flag it as phishing :D

@Alamantus@cybre.space Better something standard like HTML than mailing Word documents around.

Even though it does make it hard to stick with my command line tools . . .

This is kind of amazing.

Check out this blog post by @bob titled, "FreedomBox at Ten."

Bob Mottram: "If the last decade was the birth phase I hope that the 2020s will be the time when running your own internet services, individually or in small groups, becomes quite normal."

For people who embrace the publishing model and syndicate on : What is the typical approach?

Do people just post a link to the original content?

Do people post a summary plus a link?

Is there a convention for hashtags for such syndicated posts?

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz Now I want one too.

Thanks?

:D

@lunduke Every day is a weird one. It today weren't, it would be . . . weird.

@ChrisWere@toot.wales Gotta love the tag line for the article:

A day later, everyone's seemingly alive but Windows still isn't 'free.'
