@david@collantes.us Hah πŸ˜… I have an idea though… There’s like some ~50 odd or so active users in the growing community just off the top of my head. I reckon if we all chipped in $20 USD ea you’d have your Mac Mini M4 🀣

In-reply-to » @david How much of a computer does it have to be? Would a ZimaBoard do the trick? I don't have a wife, so I wouldn't know any better πŸ˜…

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I thought I had replied to this, but don’t see it, so my apologies. I like macOS, and Apple machines are the only ones who can run it. Granted, there are Hackintoshes, but those are on the way out, sadly, because of Apple’s move to their own CPU chips. So, no, a ZimaBoard won’t do the trick. πŸ˜…

Wives are something else, my friend. β€œHandle with care” applies all the time. 🀭

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahaha! If only was that easy. Wife is pretty stressed out at work with new duties. At the same time people are getting laid off. So, it truly is a dilemma, and something that must be done carefully. I can wait. I waited this long, I can wait a bit more. Maybe and end-of-year gift for both of us?

In-reply-to » Three days from today, towards the end of the day, we in the US will have an idea of who the nation's presiding person will be for the next four years. In the 32 years I have lived here, I have never been more worried about an election outcome.

@xuu done, and done, and done. The three of us dropped our mail-in ballots, and received confirmation they are counted. Living in a red state (well, kid said it is more like purple now) makes me sad, and mad, but I have done what I canβ€”and that includes explaining things to others, and encouraging them to vote.

Unfortunately the US media has been making it a nail biter on purpose when in reality it is not. Get out and vote in numbers that cannot be denied. And then get everyone else around you to vote also.

Maybe one day enough states will make it into the NaPo InterCo to finally put the EC to rest.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Honestly, I feel horrible today. πŸ˜‚ I had to pump lots of cold air through my lungs yesterday because I walked so fast – and now I feel like having a cold. πŸ€’ Like that cold air did some minor damage in there … (I have no idea if it really works like that.)

I’ll certainly test for Covid before meeting people tomorrow.

In-reply-to » I need to wait 30 seconds every start of mutt with 8 feeds

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt May I ask which hardware you have? SSD or HDD? How much RAM?

I might be spoiled and very privileged here. Even though my PC is almost 12 years old now, it does have an SSD and tons of RAM (i.e., lots of I/O cache), so starting mutt and opening the mailbox takes about 1-2 seconds here. I hardly even notice it. But I understand that not everybody has fast machines like that. 🫀

In-reply-to » Tried migrating to jenny... So seems it not suitable for my phone. Fetch command fetched archived feeds so i have 37k+ entries and mutt hangs for several seconds for loading this. Also i don't like hardcoded paths for config and follow file

@bender@twtxt.net Right, it fetches archived feeds on the first run (because it wants to grab all twts from that feed). Later on, it keeps track of the last seen twt hash per feed – if it cannot find that hash anymore, then it concludes that the feed must have been rotated/archived, so it fetches some/all archived feeds again until it finds that twt hash. Easy, right? πŸ˜…

In-reply-to » @doesnm right, jenny isn't the problem, it's your platform of choice. The fetching of archives doesn't happen all time (once only, right @movq?), but yes, depending on the amount of feeds you follow that first time might take a while.
