  1. How about a configuration format that is actually format agnostic? Something like this:

    #! /bin/env fancy-file-format
    26m2zKqSa... (some binary data)

    Then you just run it like that 🤯

    # Print data as JSON
    ./config.fff --format json

    # Write data from YAML
    echo "so = true" | ./config.fff --format yaml

    # Edit data as temporary TOML file
    ./config.fff --format toml --edit

    #config #xkcd927

  2. Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.

    - Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted
    ✨other✨ apps.
    - Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
    - Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have
    .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
    - Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
    - And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.
