@dpreacher perhaps someday this unascended plebeian will join the ranks of the mighty.

I like lambdas because they look pretty. That is all.
@kara Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs? https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/index.html
Can I ask a favour of folks. I need people to be accountable to tomorrow for doing some software carpentry edits for the spreadsheet to database lesson. Anyone want to volunteer to be person who I can toot at and who will at least glance at what I write?
Should I change x86_energy_perf_policy? I feel like my laptop is slow on the default (not performance).

Wow I can't believe all the Livejournal mood icons are still there. Weird to think that I saw some of these every day for like 7 years and haven't seen them since.

Someone needs to give them a good home.
Most useful thing I've discovered recently: if you need to transfer some text from #Linux to your phone, you can use https://github.com/gtanner/qrcode-terminal and "xclip -o | qrcode-terminal" to output the clipboard as a QR code, and then use the iphone/android camera app to snag it.
Here we go, my to-do list for reworking the mastodon web UI:
https://github.com/TheInventrix/mastodon/issues/15
Some of these are extremely trivial changes - like the default settings one - but some of the others like the quicknav bar changes are a little above my current skill level and will require a great deal of work for me, so if it looks easy for you, please go ahead and do it and submit a PR for the issue.
You can't convince me this isn't the best way to browse Mastodon.

We can't stress the threat model issue enough. There is no one-size-fits-all security solution.
Eg: If I'm worried about nation-states then Signal contacts knowing my real phone number is a non-issue; my adversary already knows it. If I'm a sex worker then the phone number may be a major issue and I'm better off using Wire, even if the protocol is not as robust.
Encrypted remote backups using SSHFS and LUKS: https://ruderich.org/simon/notes/encrypted-remote-backups
I've been using this technique for years and can confirm it's robust and reliable.
In my blog post about Emacs keybindings http://www.wilfred.me.uk/blog/2018/01/06/the-emacs-guru-guide-to-key-bindings/ I mention the 'Emacs Guru Test'.
It's a cute way of seeing how well you know Emacs, so I'm pleased to have shared it. I didn't invent it though. My googling has totally failed to find the original author.
My cyberpunk adventure game Neofeud about my experiences growing up a POC in an American ghetto then working with homeless and immigrants is on sale all over the place today! Any money that you give me (I am the writer/artist/programmer/etc.. all the money goes to me) is going to go straight into cleaning our water catchment tubes which are full of leaves, and so the water comes out like arboreal tea and smells like old dogs when we wash our clothes, lol. π π
FUCK YOU CAPITALIST FASCIST AMERICA
Heh. Just ran the 5th meeting of my MQ TeX Users Group. We coded the flyer live.
