@vermaden disappointed to see you’ve entrenched your position. As someone with no experience of FreeBSD I’ve been enjoying your articles until the container one

@fanf if that form of string expansion can work in user filters (I will go and confirm) then that opens the door to a lot more options, thanks!

@mart_brooks thanks; it seems to be the best implementation

@ttyS1 I suspect it might be less work to just start over with my recipes. Thanks!

New blog post: procmail versus exim filters https://jmtd.net/log/procmail_versus_exim_filters/ #email

Last used Ansible a decade ago. Will my playbooks from then still work?

Right, new VM on hetzner, arm64, named “luv” (sticking to a naming scheme we chose 20 years ago and regret now), currently running Debian trixie and doing nothing

In this cartoon set in Edo-era Japan, a swordsman in red approaches a swordsman in blue. Red says you're that famous swordsman, aren't you? Blue, who is seated and enjoying a cup of tea, says "I don't want to fight." Red puts his hand on his sword and begins to bluster, and Blue draws his own sword, still seated, with a resounding SLICE. In the final panel, we see that Blue has sliced the panel itself in two, leaving Red isolated on the other side of the gap and complaining hey, you can't do that, get back here!

Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice).

@fraggle sycamore gap? In my back yard!

There’s a .new TLD but no .old

Too tired to be useful tonight

@cstross @mrintergalactickeyboard @lauren @vvandinsky yes the 10” was much more practical. (You remind me about the tail end of that subsequent ultrabook era, the Samsung “ultrabook” fridge). I saw a GPT pocket 3 last FOSDEM and it was highly desirable!

@cstross @mrintergalactickeyboard @lauren @vvandinsky nightmares of that cramped keyboard

@mu yeah for papers I think printing and scribbling are still best for me too. Remarkable2 too small to comfortably do that for traditional journal layouts. Where it shined for me was reviewing my own thesis chapters, over and over

The Remarkable2 was incredibly useful whilst I was doing my PhD. Now I don’t really need it. So of course I’m looking at the remarkable pro…

@aeva I’d love your opinion on JACK. Signed: embarrassed, who has yet to get his synth to be audible from his Linux machine

…and I did it again, time to disable!
