@ac Welcome to not-twitter, a place where, much like twitter, groupies congregate around the personalities who put in the time, torrentially tooting.

`links -g` is graphical, allows user-definable fonts, colors, etc, and loads pages faster by avoiding JS and CSS.

Announcing the SourceHut project hub 🎉

sourcehut.org/blog/2020-04-30-

I don't usually explicitly ask for shares, but this is a big deal for SourceHut - the project hub solves one of our major goals for the alpha. Please help spread the word ❤️

@mollusk
Why not just share a plain text file?
You can sync it however you want! If you're worried about corruption, why not write a script that automatically makes and pushes git commits for her laptop?
@cavaliertusky

@sir No, it's a good language because it slows people down, which means it causes them to write less bad software than they otherwise would have been able to.

@amiloradovsky @sir I love Ansible because it lets me (1) document in code exactly how my servers are set up, and (2) quickly rebuild my servers if something goes wrong.

That said, Drew has a point; because Ansible makes servers easier to maintain, it enables/encourages more complex configurations that you would not create if you had to deploy everything by hand. The complexity is still there, even if you manage it with automation.

Thinking about trying again to set up a system (on a different machine). Last time I tried, I got stuck and ended up wiping macOS.

Docker rant 

What if I told you we could give your site a dark theme just by **deleting** a few lines of CSS.

CSS normalization is where you tell your users that you don't care about their preferences.
`@media prefers-color-scheme` says "we care about some preferences... iff your browser/OS is new enough"

I imagine it might feel like climbing the neverending staircase from mario 64.
