I don't know why but I usually never set an alarm for a simple time. Given the choice I'll pick 5:25 over 5:30 or 6:07 over 6:15 or whatever

@aral also what is that supposed to depict? A Simpson intro?

I think @mitchellh and contributors' libghostty is an amazing gift.

I never had such a robust experience with Emacs terminal emulation like I have with https://github.com/dakra/ghostel

The rendering of things I use Just Works™️

@nikitonsky Maple Mono with light as default (for boring keywords etc.) and regular/medium for most things declared by the coder, except bold comments https://font.subf.dev/en/

@nikitonsky convinced me that the highlighting is colorful but useless the way people usually do it, but I never spend time tweaking any themes since then.

Until this week.

I started with Solarized colors and styling all text the same and then made comments stand out and some declarations and function calls. Xcode can't do much more than than. We can't have background colors, either. And I don't see as many colors (deuteranopia), so it's a reduced palette :)

@dansup this is tricky! Fediverse as delivery mechanism, how do you get photo friends from their gotosocial in your feed? Meanwhile I agree that WP header images don't qualify to get the same treatment as another pixelfedder's photo shoots.

Is this maybe a display concern more than one of federation?

What are 2026 printer recommendations that don't suck ass?

@dansup I forgot about Friendica when researching FB alternatives for community org! Thank you!

@pfefferle I love this, that's even better than hooking up a Pi!

@pfefferle I have a Phoniebox built for my now-deceased grandmother that I could salvage maybe. Thought we'd need to wait for my daughter to be more careful with tech like that first. But a detached NFC reader would solve that

Just noticed the NFC settings in Home Assistant.

Could I hook up a media player this way that my toddler-age daughter could use? 🤔

Interesting (to me): GrapheneOS community chat is moving off of Matrix and to Discord because Discord has much better moderation tools for large communities to avoid trolls and raids and harassment.

There's no open alternative they could self-host that satisfies their needs for community safety.

@aral Man, I'm always conflicted w.r.t. "small web": I recently built a small toddler sleep tracker for shared use with my wife. I want to share the result and chose the simplest deployment option imaginable -- a single PHP file.

In these situations I often think of you and wonder why you picked a different route, and what I am missing.

@aral because of people to actually chat with? :)

The extent to which this is decentralized is hard to beat. Also super unattractive for normies at the same time :/

@aral are you using delta.chat? It sounds just like a thing for you, but I must've missed if you pointed that out in the previous years

@inthehands @helge more like 7 on my phone

The linked post from our Zettelkasten project page blew up on Hacker News yesterday. A chord was struck, it seems -- if you haven't already, you may want to check it out

@gamingonlinux it has an airship AND an opera scene? Count me in

@WarnerCrocker @chockenberry 🔥

@aral @bagder @chpietsch @linuxfoundation they still have the Twitter logo, so that's probably just a Chinese spam page
