@zhenech @flann my last experience of certbot but was it falling over if you try to put more than 7 or so hosts on a certificate. In other words It’s still clown shoes

Can anyone recommend cheap co2 monitors which can be easily queried without vendor specific apps? TIA!

Just for those who may be a little confused: “Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students being college sophomores this year.

@rivets worth a look. Ta!

the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu, but you shouldn't confuse it with gnulib, which is developed by the gnu project, who shouldn't be confused as the developers of glib, which is the gnome project, in which the g also stands for gnu

@violetmadder @wouter sitting back and watching this shitshow of a thread, I’m astonished we progressives (yes, this includes @wouter who I’ve witnessed do amazing work, inside and outside of Debian, for decades) achieve *anything* with all the own-goal infighting.

I’m still on the hunt for a blog a bit like Sf Signal: covering news and new releases of written SF. Kind of astonished I haven’t found one

@t60n3 Small Gods, Going Postal, Feet of Clay,

@pwaring thank you :)

Borland TurboVision (the PC text mode windowing UI used in Turbo Pascal/C++) has been open-sourced and updated to work seamlessly on Linux and with Unicode:

It’s all in C++, though if someone hasn’t wrapped it in bindings for Python/Rust/&c. yet, surely they will

@TonyPrintezis @patrickhadfield Seems like a good time to promote GetMusic - https://getmusic.fm/ - free BandCamp codes provided by artists to help new listeners discover them.

I've found some fantastic stuff this year using GM that I probably wouldn't have otherwise.

Your regular reminder that, when I am dictator of the world, if your word processing software doesn't DEFAULT to having page numbers turned on, you're getting locked in the tower

Graduated today

Taken from a Reddit post about bands repeating songs at gigs:

"Neil Young had just released Tonight's The Night. A classic, much loved album, no doubt. But it was new & no one really knew the songs yet.

So he plays the whole album front to back, with the audience getting increasingly agitated. Finally, after he finishes the last track, he says;
'Now for something you've heard before' to much cheering, applause & relief.

Then proceeds to play the whole album again"

Incredibly frustrating work debugging task. Some automation is deleting a git branch from my gitlab repository, almost as soon as I push/create it. Almost certainly RHTAP but there's a maddening shortage of logs to check.
