At least this does not belong to Elon Musk yet.
Finally found the time to set up my Raspberry Pi to do something useful. It was on my shelf for only three years or so.
In ancient Athens, there was a punishment named rhaphanidosis - inserting a radish into the person’s anus. I think that, once I’ve become the leader of the free world, I will reinstate said punishment for people who call keyboards “keebs”.
As long as there are companies which make profit from the war, there will be a war.

Gladly, Pandora Mail has supported GnuPG since Fall 2019. … Officially. (Still waiting. :-/)
Considering to uninstall OmniOS because of QoS. O tempora, o mores.
I was years old when I fell in love with WordStar. Please pull the plug.
66 years of Germany in the NATO are probably 76 years too much.
Still waiting for the revolution.
I wish someone would finally start a better revolution than just going outside at night.
once you set “alias wget=aria2c”, wget is a surprisingly good software.
Using nextCloud on a server which has different users for PHP and web: I fix the folder permissions, nextCloud unfixes them. Ah, the spirit of open source.

It’s 2020. Here’s me, blogging about SCCS. https://dev.to/tux0r/tired-of-jira-here-s-a-pure-posix-to-do-environment-versioned-and-awesome-or-a-case-for-sccs-3pfa
Every time I play with SCCS, I want to reimplement SCCS for Windows. Yes, I am under 60, why do you ask?
I genuinely wonder how many times I’ll try and fail to host my own VCS yet. The counter is at 3 or 4 now.

Not using the vi(m) editor is a lifestyle.
Nerdpr0n incoming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNRH1ULmbNA
The more I use acme and sam, the more I notice that I start editor wars on Twitter. At least it’s Rob Pike’s fault.
Google said HTTP is automatically insecure. Because Google’s adware is HTTPS.
The opposite of ‘interesting’ is ‘colorful’.
Google sponsors Linux. The Linux Foundation claims that that’s because Google loves free software. Google also continues to publish new Closed Source software. I claim that that’s because the Linux Foundation is dumb.
Syntax highlighting. Because colors.
Meanwhile on the web: SourceForge advertises its GitHub importer…
OH: Poettering is my BDSM safeword.

Surprise: Facebook admits it did not read terms of the app that harvested data of 87 million.
Installed Solaris (actually, OmniOS) today. Which year is it again?

Ha: iXsystems, Inc. provides asylum to Oracle/Sun refugees. Troll of the day.
Could Steven Wilson please just stop making the same album every year?
Rust is Swahili for ‘I cannot C’.
I’ve tried the sam text editor and I think that nobody has ever insulted my need for asthetics even closely as much as Rob Pike did.
Switched from cmd to PowerShell after 21 years. I’m dead inside.
Used WebAssembly today. I’ll probably grow a beard and an ugly sweater until tomorrow.
Turns out clang-cl is what cl could have been if Microsoft cared about C. Lovely.
Decentralized PayPal should be a thing. But money is probably not hackerish enough.

So Github decided to prefer gender bias (= sexism) to technical quality and postponed its electronconf. Awesome.
Android “O” will finally get new, more photorealistic emojis. Actually talking to people is not recommended anyway.
TBD: Use the word “clusterfuck” at least twice as much as I already do.
Reminder: If your language has a Slack channel, your language is wrong.

World sleep day is my favorite holy day. I start by heavily celebrating it.
Accidentally read a Slashdot comment and now I want to burn everything down again.
So GitHub has new ToS which suck. And you wonder why I try to avoid GitHub at all cost…
Popular, finally. https://github.com/mdom/we-are-twtxt/ – Now exploring client options.
Just setting up my twtxt
