  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. 🫶💚

  2. @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.

  3. 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?

    Two ratkillers explore a hit piece directed at them.

  5. @SocraticEthics "#Bitcoin (and other #cryptocurrencies ) are like rat poison squared." - Warren Buffett

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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. #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.

  9. #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.

  10. 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.

  12. I perfected it; #serpico, the Semi-sentient RatPoison Interactive COmpanion

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

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

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