  1. Friends, people of the Fediverse,

    Please vow never to use rat poison.

    I just saw a squirrel carried a blue cake of rat poison up the honeylocust tree in our condo yard. The squirrel will only nibble a little, discard and drop it somewhere, where any child/pet/wildlife can reach and … .

    We collectively do have the power to make this realm a kinder place for all living being.

    Thank you. 🫶💚

  3. @mariomedjeral I used #Stumpwm for many (many!) years, and its interaction with Emacs was one of the highlights.

    What broke my use was multiple monitors. I simply couldn't get it all to work properly, it was a bit overwhelming.

    I often use Ratpoison on my laptop, which suites it nicely.

    Like Stumpwm, it's stuck of X11 which is less battery efficient than Wayland. Though I think #Ratpoison probably compensates for that.

  5. Ink and Rat Poison

    In the Arti che vanno per via in Venezia (1753) by Gaetano Zompini, one of the trades depicted is a man with a long stick with dead rats attached, and also a series of bottles or jugs in his belt.

    The associated poem says (in my translation):

    I'm the one who sells fine ink for writing,
    And I also have the stuff for rats,
    That is, a very terrible poison for them.

    The man is thus selling both writing ink and rat poison. The containers on his belt are conceivably for the ink and/or rat poison.

    That struck me as a rather odd combination of goods for a street vendor. Why would the same person sell writing ink and rat poison?

    And this quote ⬆️ was before #Russia went 'all-in' with the #crypto #RatPoison.

  11. I call this one 'Goodbye links/ratpoison'

    A runner-up title was 'what ads?'

    video watching through #dmenu. While this is still recorded in #ratpoison, my project is no longer dependent on it.

  13. Further progress...

    Some may call it heretical to use dmenu with #ratpoison, but as you can see, this reduces multiple #serpico commands into a single interactive popup.

  15. #ratpoison's @neauoire inspired html writing (in vi).

    My take on this:
    merveilles.town/@neauoire/1111

    I fall in love with ideas very often, but this one actually made me create something immediately.

    To minimize the need of typing extra characters, I aliased ':' as the command for spitting out the #html elements.

  17. #ratpoison and #links2 in text-mode in #xterm.

    Text links was the real challenge, but I finally made progress last night without having to use tmux.

    Here I open an invidious instance and play a video, browse mastodon, display an image and browse #gopher.

    Unfortunately #brutaldon does not render gopher URLs clickable, so I type in the address manually. In the example @SDF's gopher.club

    Yet another step closer to finishing the links2 bible.

  19. Redirecting highlighted urls to free front-ends in #links2

    In this demonstration, we can see #serpico redirect links to fandom, youtube, twitter and stackoverflow to public instances of breezewiki, invidious, nitter and anonymousoverflow by using a single unified #ratpoison command.

    'watching y*utube in ratpoison with #links2, practical example'

    (It's semi sentient, because, if I say hi, it says hi back.)

    The documentary is: "Dada and Surrealism: Europe After the Rain"

  25. update, it's a bug on #i3 I try to run #jami in #ratpoison and it works 👌 I'll maybe investigate later..

  27. @nixCraft: #Debian with #i3 (and occasionally #Ratpoison or #FLWM on small screens) as window manager. Especially with regards to customization, Debian seems to be one of the most flexible binary distros out there, i.e. like offering multiple init systems, tons of window managers, many shells, etc. (But I might be biased here.)

  28. Rumour has it that #JohnMastodon uses the #RatPoison WM on his Infinity Linux Machine.
