@danyspin97 But also agreed on the to-each-their own point. I feel like I've moved *somewhat* far up the power/simplicity curve, but would still be interested in going further. Maybe #void, maybe #obarun, maybe even #gentoo if I'm feeling bold.
Something to look forward to, anyway

And has #cricket been pretty good? I'm thinking about switching to them or #consumerCellular for lower prices, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

@brainblasted There are also several #html2text programs that could be helpful. Here's one I've used before (written in Python): https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text

I can't find any way to change units.Have you tried… division?

@cancel @[email protected] @rnickson
> I just made a significant new portion/feature of it open source a few hours ago :)
Two responses: first *thanks very much*!
It's awesome that you're freeing this library under the GPL. I'll definitely pay for #ripcord without hesitation when you're ready to ask for money!
2nd: my concern with ripcord not being #foss has more to do with not loving the idea of communicating using code that I/we can't audit. This library—while super nice!—doesn't address that issue.
-
Based on recommendations from several of you fine folks, I just tried out #ripcord, the unofficial #discord/#slack client by @cancel
I've got to say, from a first impression, I'm *really* impressed! It makes slack and discord way more manageable, while also using far fewer resources than either one alone.
Shame it's not #foss, though; I'd be much more likely to pay for it if it were. (It is free-as-in-beer though, at least right now)
cc @[email protected] @rnickson thanks for the tip!

> those that have not already discovered the delights of #orgmode are destined to recreate it
Except that inserting orgmode time stamps with the current time requires an arcane series of keypresses (two prefix arguments (not sure what that means?) plus `<C-c>` followed by `.`
https://orgmode.org/manual/Creating-Timestamps.html#Creating-Timestamps
In contrast, my vim version involves turning on a specific mode, and then pressing enter
Really captures the #vim–#emacs difference! #editorWar :D

@mwlucas @alexbuzzbee @balrogboogie
(also, when writing that last toot, I noticed that the hashtag #ed prompts me to autocomplete to #editorWar. That seems appropriate, somehow.)
-
It recently came to my attention that #trunk has a thriving #emacs list but no #vim list at all. This is an outrage that cannot be allowed to stand! #editorWar #cultOfVi
(Seriously though @[email protected] could you create a vim trunk list and add me to it?)
(If you're not familiar with Trunk, it's a group of interest-based lists to help new Mastodon users find interesting people to follow: https://communitywiki.org/trunk)

Interesting. I wouldn't say that I live in the shell—rather, I live in the *terminal*. I use zsh commands a lot, of course, but I also write bash, python, or javascript scripts frequently; I don't feel the need to link everything together.
I wonder if some of this comes from a developer vs. sysadmin use cases. I write a fair bit of bash—including #passgen, my most developed #foss project so far—but I don't think I've every written an *inline* script.
Interesting perspective!
-
@kev Another language I'd put in the mix for those goals is #bash. It's not quite as versatile as others, but it's still very powerful. It's what #pass and my own #passgen are written in, for example. And for simple automation in #linux environment, it really can't be beat.
Plus, anyone who is comfortable with the command line is halfway to knowing #bash.
The second half of The Linux Command Line has a great introduction to bash. Plus, it's free under a CC license: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

Turns out that the top #hashtags I've used or favorited on Mastodon are:
#rust(65)
#introductions(60)
#introduction(51)
#gutenberg(41)
#linux(39)
#foss(32)
#mastodon(30)
#fosstodon(27)
#passgen(18)
#arch(17)I'm pretty happy with that as a summary of my conversations on here.
(Thanks to @[email protected] 's useful mastodon-archive tool for generating this info. https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-backup)
-
Definitely going to be trying this out when I get some time later this afternoon—it sounds very cool!
(Welcome to the club of #fosstodon members who've worked on companion software to #pass. I didn't expect #passgen to have company in that particular club!)
-
Just how concerned should I be by a message from Gmail saying that someone attempted to reset my password from Texas (no where near where I live)? I've already changed my password (#passgen made it easy to come up with a new one), and I have two-factor authentication enabled. And gmail isn't my primary email, but it's still one I don't want to have compromised.
I figure it's probably someone with a similar email address miss-typing their address, but wanted to ask how worried I should be.

@alatiera
I disagree, at least for nouns. Imagine I want to toot about a new version of an open-source project. Which sounds better:> I just released v0.5 of #passgen, the passphrase generator that follows the #unix philosophy.
Or:
> I just released v0.5 of passgen, the passphrase generator that follows the unix philosophy.
#passgen #unixThe first clearly and correctly signals that the hashtag is a link to related content; by my lights, it's much better. You disagree?
-
(And, if people aren't as comfortable with computers but still take #infosec seriously, they might also be interested in the #EFF project that inspired #passgen, which provides instructions for generating random passphrases by rolling dice. https://www.eff.org/dice)
-
@unicornfarts @Artek I don't really know apg, but from a quick look, I think #passgen passwords would be *more* memorable. It's configurable to use any of a bunch of different wordlists, but by default it uses a combined list taken from several #EFF lists, so you'd get a password like skirt?UNSTEADY?legend?SUPERJET?livable?DINGBAT?507?

Svelte 3 is out, and it looks really great—they've done a great job building a much lighter weight alternative to #react!
https://svelte.dev/blog/svelte-3-rethinking-reactivityBetween #svelte 3, #preact 10, and #Dodrio (the #rust/WASM alternative to Preact), it's starting to look like a golden age for lightweight front-end web apps.
…now if only everyone still building bloated apps with Facebook's framework will get the memo :D
@nolan
Do you have any thoughts on Svelte 3? I know Pinafore is built with Svelte -
> If you’re just looking for something to run VNC/RDP/Whatever to another box, I recommend TinyCoreLinux. Provides a minimal GUI and can run in as little as 10MB.
That *is* what I'm looking for. Why do you recommend #TinyCoreLinux over #PuppyLinx? I know it's smaller, but the difference of a few MB will *probably* not be the deciding factor for this setup.

#androidPie has a new digital wellness feature that will remind you of how much time you spend on different apps and nudge you to make better use of your time (if you want it to).
This is the quintessential modern #google product. It is:
* Free-as-in-beer
* Helpful (solves a real problem)
* Friendly (good UI/UX)
* Totally destructive of privacy (it involves tracking how much time you spend on *every* app)Google in a nutshell
-
That is really cool. Thanks for building this, @[email protected]!
On my home computer, I'm not concerned with someone looking at my screen when it's locked. So I use something similar but without the pixelation: #xtrlock (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/xtrlock).
(If I were more concerned with visual security, I'd probably go with #slock, but then I like that sort of thing).
-
Oh, man, they have #chipsChallenge. Definitely going to have to find some time to check this out!

> I've used it! But I rely heavily on #tridactyl which does not work with #browsh 🙁
What doesn't work about it? I read that we extension work with Browsh, but haven't tried any out yet
-
Yeah, #browsh seemed like something that's your kind crazy :D
> Have you tried brutaldon.online with it?
Sort of. It wouldn't log in via the standard oauth method (I couldn't click on the authorize/deny pop-up). I also couldn't log in with pinafore (the "add instance" button also wasn't clickable)
The vanilla web UI actually did let me log on, but it wasn't quite usable, at least with the default multi-column layout
-
Have any of you heard of or tried #browsh? It's a full, mouse driven GUI browser---in a terminal!
The tech is pretty cool too: it renders the page in a headless version of Firefox and converts the rendered page to text. The upshot is that you can run it on a VPS, SSH in from a laptop, and get a GUI browser without paying the privacy/bandwidth/battery costs of running someone else's JS on your personal computer.
Here's a screenshot:

Also, I hadn't checked out your site before. I'm glad you included a link—it looks really interesting.
I've been meaning to get my dotfiles organized/backed up better; I might give #yadm a spin.

Oh, man, I wasn't expecting #SNOBOL to come up today. My parents programmed it back in the 70s before they left the programming field and got what they thought of as "real" jobs!

CW: Dialup BBSes
@freakazoid Not really relevant to anything, but that list of dialup BBSes makes 70 requests, including 18 for javascript (!) and loads over 1.1 mb of content. Good luck accessing that with dialup!
