#noteToSelf Gotta figure out how to work issues in git/GitLab and merge? Need a git for idiots book

#note-to-self Gitlab pages

#note-to-self Script to delete non-pinned toots from an account every few days. #js

I have yet to do an #introductions toot so I guess the time has come.

Most folk will remember me as whistlewright.

I am currently studying to become an employable/employed #web_developer #webdev

Outside of professional interests I am a #writer with some published works. I try to live a #minimalist lifestyle. Also we try to life a little more of a #selfsufficient lifestyle. We hope to go #offthegrid soon.

I try to use #FOSS but I am not overly religious about it.

Well maybe

Hmm... Thinking going on up in here

@ragamuffinjim audio?

Some days one doesn't want to be at work. Nothing is wrong. I just don't want to be here today.

What fun!

Alrighty...who's still awake?

Ok so the other mastodon account that I setup has quit working already. *sigh* Beginning to not like all of this stuff again

So I think that, fianlly, I have a comibinetion of tools that works for me in both my work life and my personal life. All that is left really is detail.

Details like:
-Telegram on #emacs
-generating new gpg keys and learning how to use them on emacs
-some off-of-emacs epub reader (not calibre as it is huge)
-Working with #syncthing and making that happen instead of my weird and scary Dropbox configuration

...

Man, I am starving!

ok this may take more time than I have to invest tonight but I am intrigued by syncthing

Ok so I am giving this #syncthing a try. It may take me a bit to figure it out so hang on.

I wonder what will happen if I set my org directory in .emacs to the orgzly directory in Dropbox? What the heck?! Let's try it! Here someone hold my beer

I guess the #tusky is for a newer version of Andriod than mine and that is why I couldn't get it to work earlier.

Want to see if the admin here has a way to change my username to my beloved whistlewright. I'd hate to open another dang account and have everyone try to figure out who the hell I am or if I have lost my ever lovin mind

5/? I can focus on learning #orgmode and maybe study and learn how to make #orgzly work with webDAV instead of Dropbox

4/? Long and the short of it is that I think that I am going to do the same thing to the phone. Having stripped down devices makes things easier and significantly lowers the learning curve for a stupid guy like me

3/? Well having only the emacs browser has made it difficult to post to my usual social things... except that I do have #mastodonel and #gnusocialmode. So I am pretty much relegated (on this computer anyway) to posting via mastodon-mode

2/? I figured out that night that I can save an org file to Dropbox and use it on this computer and on my phone via the app called #orgzly and on the Windows10 computer at the office. Problem with the set up is Dropbox which I don't trust but it works so that is a plus at this point...

So a few nights ago I pulled a bonehead stunt. My daily computer has very limited space and I got tired of futzing with it so I started deleting heavy programs. I stripped this box down to #emacs, mplayer, veracrypt, LibreCad for work, gpg, and the supernerd things on a computer that I am scared to mess with. 1/?

Excuse the interruption, just playing with #mastalab
