I configured #aerc to use emojis for the clock time stamp. In related news: does anybody know how I can go about contributing my code change upstream to #golang’s stdlib?

Was thinking about how so much content on gemini is mirrored or converted from other sites (I'm guilty of this too). Isn't this why the protocol allowed for proxy requests? Maybe it's a client-capability problem. Anyway, started working on a proxy from #spartan to #gemini.

I want to learn awk so I can do cool efficient text pipeliney things (like start printing on match, stop printing on another match, or run such and such command on a subset of the stream), but everytime I look at a tutorial for it, I think "these aren't practical" or "this makes no sense".

@lastfuture How many fans do they have?

Under the sales model, they'd need 1 album every two years, and 120 fans willing to purchase that album for comparable income.

@kline And can you do that without being accused of censorship?

@apt yeah, like how do you add notes. I've tried clicking , control-clicking, right clicking, pressing buttons on keyboard, etc.

@apt Cool! It'd be nice if it actually worked, but at least 'macres' seems usable, and it does come with usable voice samples.

@alderwick @Kooda

Ooh, fun. Hope to see some cool mechanical keyboard stuffs.

@apt How can it die? We don't even have a FOSS alternative yet!

Mini-project B from this week: Grande: a gemini client for Android (open source fork of a different client). Don't fall in love with it yet: I'll probably make lots of disruptive changes. Read about and download ... on gemini.

@clarity @neauoire very neat! Following to see how this goes. I'm much involved in using verovio to make SVGs (and midi) from musicXML, but it might be nice to see how a smaller project approaches this task.

tty = fopen_for_read(CURRENT_TTY);

Ah, thanks busybox. Just open the tty as a file :)

Does anybody have a clue how less (and more) work internally? Do I need to read ALL of stdin before I can get controlled by the user?

Today I learned how to use `brltty` to make a "headless" microcomputer talk.

The important step is that you remove lightdm (and any other gui packages which might run as the login shell).

Works okay, except it only reads out the line the cursor is on, so it's still important to pipe commands through `flite -voice awb`

Have been experimenting this last week with serving different bible translations over gemini. All scripts in gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/cgi-bin/

esv.sh - great formatting, but rate limited by upstream
net.sh - no paragraph or section breaks, but haven't been rate-limited yet
oeb.sh - reasonable formatting, missing most bible books, self-hosted
lsv.py - minimal formatting, no section breaks, self-hosted
