I'm painfully reminded each day travelling how much more effective my desktop setup is.
After forgetting to run '--migrate' for the umpteenth time, it's now part of the #ansible deploy script for #writefreely, so.. yay!
As usual, it literally takes 5 minutes to add it to the recipe, yet I find myself having lots of these "yeah, need to do that at some point" tasks lingering for months.
Just stumbled upon https://editorconfig.org/ searching for ways to support different people in a project with basic formatting rules. Looks like it's spot on. (I haven't dived in yet)
I'm a bit surprised I can't recall seeing this before. Is it me, or is this just not used much?

#TIL about #Librerouter, a project that aims to make it easier for non-geek rural communities to create #MeshNetworks. The project outputs include an #OpenHardware router with a #FreeCode OS:

Transferred my youtube subscriptions to #minitube
Not sure yet what this will bring me exactly, but it feels like an accomplishment. ;-)
At least I can stay logged out from youtube now.

It's kind of weird to look back and see that I've been working on something for five straight years now -- I don't think I've ever spent that much time on a single project.
But I'm really happy that Write.as has reached this milestone. Exciting times to come in the years ahead!

Une carte #OSM dans le style des cartes de #Cassini, ça vous tente ?

I'm looking to purchase Frank Herberts Dune series (6 parts) in ePub format.
All I find is stores using Adobe DRM which I can't use/want. I hoped it would be
possible to buy fingerprinted versions. Any pointers?
Now using an #sql trigger to prevent account updates to the https://qua.name demo account.
Even with such a small instance, there's a remarkable amount of attempts trying to change
the demo username and/or password.
The trigger is a nice solution to this, it let's me use the writefreely 'as is' and it
is a silent ignore on any attempt.

It seems there's a lot of interest in continuing work on Guile Emacs, since it keeps coming up on Reddit and Hacker News and everyone is lamenting the fact that there are too few Scheme hackers and they don't seem to be interested in the project. (Someone even offered to fund it.)
Right now I'm seriously considering starting a revival project. Is anyone here interested in such a venture?

If you want well-formatted, public domain e-books, https://standardebooks.org is the place to go.
