@surfingalot your options are a ruby app that sucks, or a decent app written in a weirdo language (pleroma is elixir).

go-fed might be viable soon, hopefully

@matt it's colloquial; the US has never been free. the defining trait of the US is "lots of freedom, but *only* ever for a specific subset of people."

@surfingalot this might be a masto thing, mastodon is sort of the sendmail of activitypub. i'm probably going to switch to pleroma on my single-user instance, and set up a pleroma instance for friends on a cool domain as well

where my unixbeards at?

@Alexis take heart that fewer than 4% of all human beings live in that jurisdiction and that none of the outcomes matter *that* much in the grand scheme of earth.

one thing i'm going to be sad to miss on twitter is the absolutely epic meltdown of the americans when the president (&DHS et al) steals the election tomorrow and announces himself the winner.

strap in, folks, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

@surfingalot i just bought another pair of mediocre (but not $20) headphones with usb for the price of the modmic. also my HD820s don't have a good place to mount the modmic.

@surfingalot i already have 2 of those and 3 different hdmi-to-usb-flash standalone recorders, and 2 hdmi-to-usb2 not-standalone adapters....

i was talking about the VHS tapes themselves, *after* i digitize them.

wow. trey parker and matt stone are geniuses.

@joli i don't like making physical art

i'm sort of surprised there isn't some turnkey app that speaks to an rtlsdr, does a VHF and UHF survey automatically over a few mins, identifies any carriers, identifies the ones that are p25, and starts logging all of the signaling traffic on them, offering you a list of all observed talkgroups to decode/record. you need to use like 5 different programs for this simple task.

i have a fuckton of VHS tapes. once i digitize their video contents, is there anything useful i can do with them? are there commonly available data storage systems for them?

how many pounds of halloween candy is an acceptable amount to consume on all saints' day?

what are the best trrs or usb headphones+boom mic you know of? i have insanely expensive high end headphones that i end up not using in favor of $25 headphones because they have a boom mic on them and switching for calls is annoying. halp

@newt i have so much tea to drink i had to place a moratorium on buying any more, but i recently found out that taylor's of harrowgate lemon&orange tastes like fruity pebbles. it's so fucking good and i got 100 bags for $18.

@surfingalot via email? i use the desktop app (never the web app) and use the auto-export/backup.

@nolan uhh, we're there now. everything, even simple noninteractive pages, is a javascript mess, pulling in deps from third-party hosts that won't exist in 5 years.

buying a pinephone with two clicks via apple pay checkout feels strangely like punching myself really hard in the dick.
