@directhex when the majority of your toots are xposts, spoilering them is not as useful as it would be if they were less common
@juliank thanks for fixing neomutt #931746. I just re-hit the related #890334. Do you think the maintainers are MIA? Wondering about working on it a bit
apropos this nice desktop screenshot, here's mine right now
I'm really dis-invested in the Doom Community now that I've done zilch for the 25th anniversary of doom 2.
Likewise I'm nearly fully unplumbed from Debian now, too.
I wish every Stallman apologist would Spoiler Warning their toots
I started noodling around with code to convert #Ikiwiki stuff to #hakyll: https://github.com/jmtd/hakyll-ikiwiki

My SSH dream:
The best solution I've seen to SSH attacks is NetBSD's libblacklistd.
Log parsing solutions are inherently fragile. But a solution that lets a server program explicitly declare "Hey, this IP is being a jerk, please fubar it" is 
I truly hope that one of the #OpenBSD devs will develop this itch and make something like it part of #OpenSSH, so it spreads and becomes a standard.
Ah, I'm testing an old version, and is seems only in line-level HTML is broken, not block level. So that's better than I originally thought.
Interesting, fundamental limitation with Pandoc for handling Markdown (or CommonMark) documents: it does not support embedded HTML, which is a key facet of both formats (IMHO)

Did you know that "git checkout -" works much like "cd -" and switches back and forth between two branches?
You're welcome.

Parents: are your kids exchanging vi keymaps?
wtf: one word forward, then to the first 'f'
LOL: insert a new line with a single 'L' just above bottom of screen.
fml: move to one character past the next 'm'
tbh: move to two characters before the next 'b'
dtf: delete to 'f'
Torn between that board and the odroid-h2 which is a really compelling/weird SBC with the same SoC
I think I'm set on the ASRock J4105-ITX as my replacement NAS mainboard but I need to triple check the chipsets for Linux compatibility

"— Unnatural hair colors in woman are a warning signal to stay away,
Its an example Aposematism -the phenomenon of poisonous animals in nature advertising their toxicity and lethality
— Aposematism is there to warn off predators, not sexual partners. If you're repelled by it, it's working."
NAS update: still 5 sec boot loops when cross-wired to my desktop PC's 750W PSU. Strong suspicion the mainboard is a dud.
This process brought me great pleasure
I have tentatively shortlisted £30.44 of Nintendo eshop purchases to spend my £30 voucher once it arrives
I'm still such a mastodon newbie that I have to write a temporary toot with the username I want to follow to get a clicky link for my client (then delete the toot)
