    @MikeElgan good stuff. Thanks for writing this a d breaking it down as you did.

    @manton ha. Doesn’t it say news is “Newspapers, news aggregators, magazines, blogging”? (My emphasis). I figured it wouldn’t make much sense. Oh well.

    @manton why rejected? Curious

  • Replying to: @warner

    @warner you mean for the TM backup? so you don’t have something that is over a month old..? If

  • @sherold not really. Been this way for years, getting a bit worse lately. There are the usual culprits (same time for sleep, sleep hygiene, coffee, etc), but even when I’m OK with those, I could still wake up at 3 for no reason. Sometimes I’m lucky and I can fall back asleep.

    @Miraz Interesting… do you have to specify an exercise name (as in “pull-ups” or “crunches”) or can you give your names?

  • Replying to: john.philpin.com

    @JohnPhilpin Good article. The point is well known, but it’s good to have it written out and explained like that. I call it “The Emperor’s New Clothes” syndrome - same idea, based on an old fable with a good moral.

    @jbaty Oh, so this is how you look in color! I was thinking you’re just b&w film from the 40s… a cartoon you say? Well then.

    @lmika here in NYC the add all kinds of barriers so people stop avoiding payments. It still doesn’t work.

    @clare_hooley @kev I used to be careful about including my email in the About section. My old blog used some sort of a riddle, if I recall, something like “the author of the post sitting at his domain” or something silly like that.

    When I switched to Micro.blog at some point I added the reply by email plugin, and that was it. I get maybe one spam email in a few months (I can’t even say once a month). Not sure if it’s because my actual address is not written anywhere or something else is going on, but it works.

    I was also toying with the idea of Letterbird, but I prefer to be upfront about the privacy of people visiting my site. I have a few features which I explain (for example, I use Google fonts for the title, or I use Tinylytics to track traffic), but Letterbird… eh. The reply button is good enough (pun intended).

    @jbaty BZ is costing me too much, apparently because files I got rid off never got deleted. They explained that it takes a couple of months for the deletion to go through all the backups, but it’s been about 6 months now. I probably need to create a new bucket and set up my cloud backup.

    Interested to see what you come up with.

  • Replying to: @vincent

    @vincent I will check it out as soon as it’s available. FreshRSS works from mobile, but connecting to my docker via ddns when im away from home can have some issued.

    @manton ohhh. I’ll keep my eyes peeled 👀

  • @manton has been working in Inkwell and I’ve been following it quietly.

    I put a lot of brainpower into setting up FreshRSS on Docker (first time setting something like this up), and I’ve been using it since. It also works well with Elfeed, which is an excellent RSS reader for org-mode Emacs.

    On the other hand, Inkwell will soon have a mobile app. Even though I suspect the iOS app would come much sooner than the Android one, having Inkwell on both (just as I have micro.blog on both) would save me the work of saving bookmarks manually and adding to my notes.

    Basically, Inkwell is integrated into micro.blog in a way that makes sense and could make my workflow even better.

    @eludom there is a suit being tested in this thread and I think I saw one in the plugin library.

  • Replying to: fosstodon.org

    @eludom did you see the microblog plug-in for Maps?

    @amerpie pretty 😊

    @chrisod let me know how it works… prompt is everything.

  • @itsfoss.bsky.social couldn’t we all give a dob that make us 99 years old and be done with it?

  • @grueproof I like such threats.

  • Replying to: mastodon.social

    @thesolarprincess ah. The reason I’m asking is because I suspected it happened after I upgraded org mode (without upgrading emacs) which made things get a bit funky. Glad it worked for you!

  • Replying to: @jtr

    @thesolarprincess you mean the uninstall process I did and reinstall? Did you try to upgrade to the new org mode?

    @Neblib thanks! it doesn’t link to my blog directly from this article, but my blog has been on their small web list for a while I think. I get several hits from Kagi, and it’s nice because those usually are people who are looking for my “day in the life” posts rather than the Tech ones, which is what people usually end up reading. 

  • @bodegacats.bsky.social There is a story here begging to be told… :-)
