@beegrrl Yeah! I can absolutely see myself sending script files to some of the folk I support who are keen to learn to support themselves, but learn better by watching something in action. *Definitely* beats sending a gigabyte of a screen recording demo.

@archer72 I deal with some old computers, and even I have to admit 32bit just doesn't come up that often any more. I can see their logic.

@beegrrl I just filter my incoming mail such that different lists go to specific folders.

@perloid @ken_fallon Commonmark recommends what most people seem to do anyway: use HTML.

Markdown's greatest failure is its consistent fallback to HTML. It's as if markup is actually necessary, after all.... Anyway, structure is better than no structure.

(Personally, I try to turn tables into bullet lists whenever possible.)

@cobra2 perfect, exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks!

And sent at the 4th minute past the hour. You have 59 minutes to get back to me.

@RaceCondition got auto corrected... should be http://yacy.net

@RaceCondition yacy, when I can. http://yancy.net

Otherwise ddg, although I'm under no illusion that they aren't tracking etc, despite their marketing

@garpu @beegrrl it's still going strong. I follow its mailing lists, and intend to get more serious about it once there are no more bugs. Ok, maybe some bugs.

IPS is a lot of fun.

I ran freeBSD on a Toshiba for a year, enjoyed it. Then tried it on a Pi, spent a day configuring everything, and then a freak power failure corrupted the SD card. That's how I found out UFS wasn't journaled by default. Switched to NetBSD partly out of [petty] spite and partly because I knew it from SDF.org

@Karlitschek literally advising the UN on how to switch to open source.

It's amazing that it's even a thing, but doubly amazing that it's a guy I met casually at an FSF meetup last month, and even more amazing that he also happens to be the project maintainer of @nextcloud !!

@beegrrl My first BSD was Dragonfly. But my favourite is NetBSD, which is what my Pi currently runs (er, it would, if it were plugged in...gotta run cable in my new place, etc etc).

I love Illumos. I have an OpenIndiana install on my non-work laptop. I did a little (very little) Solaris admin at an old job, and I quite enjoyed working with that system.

@Unairedspecifics @Tuscan With my fashion sense, I can wear ANYTHING and get away with it as a joke.

@Tuscan oh yeah and thanks for listening to my show! Nice to meet you!

@Tuscan Not official, but hey cool! I should get one and support the artist!

@beegrrl take your time, take care of yourself. We'll still be here when you're ready, and the vid will be exactly what it is [sic].

@h4ck3r9 Does your blog site have an RSS or Atom feed? This isn't a feature request, just asking in case I've missed some obvious link to its feed.
