New work tool

@dualhammers so I started this and ended up deciding I needed to write some prerequisite blog post and also ended up planning an overhaul 🤷‍♂️

I hope to get at least one post out today

@giuliano_b @nova it’s a shame that the only uri form of the three recognised is not supported by Pleroma (the ‘@‘ in particular)

@csteacher i did host my own four-ish years ago but I’m afraid I can’t remember if that was an option (then)

It’s not every day I’m accused of “divine genocide”

@peter quite possibly, thanks!

@squirrellydave yes that’s ultimately going to be disappointing

Why does anyone bother putting a verified badge in their profile on mastodon/the Fediverse?

@srtcd424 @benc I’m not sure if my blank-page skills have atrophied or stayed static whilst my edit/review skills have been honed

@csteacher @jwildeboer now I’m wondering what the point would be of a set of disparate instances all caching Fediverse data in separate S3 buckets. Alternatively don’t cache at all?

My starting point for mail filters is still to fork dsafilter https://jmtd.net/dsafilter/ which I wrote 16 years ago and still run

@yarnofmoo I think sieve is too safe (makes sense for proper deployments) and prevents me from shelling out but ICBW

@srtcd424 @benc review/fix/improve/“make work” is an utterly distinct mode of thought from “create from scratch”, yes. I agree for the latter it’s crucial to avoid self-censoring (which means slipping into the former mode, and out of the latter one)

I’m writing a crude script to parse out “item” and “amount” from Amazon order mails and stuff them in a CSV

@srtcd424 this could be just the thing. Thanks!

Writing a procmail recipe and it’s 2022 and I’m sure there are better options today

Which set of Nintendo switch joy-cons should I keep: white (as comes with the OLED model) or pink/green?

New blog post: Bandcamp #music #archiving https://jmtd.net/log/bandcamp/

@badambassador @tnhh @thebeeks I've just tried to find where I got that and I can't, so I might be spreading misinformation, sorry!
