Generating #gopher sites with #gohugo, links and comments: https://talkgroup.xyz/t/generating-a-gopher-site-with-hugo/3096

@kensanata @tomasino Hey, that is really cool! Should that replace the #phlog list on #SDF?

Putting this out there in case I am lucky today: is there a repair service that can replace the headphone jack on my MDR-7506's in #Oakland or #BayArea? I don't have a soldering kit, and I honestly don't have much time, but I want to use these cans, so I want to pay someone to fix it for me.

Of course that is difficult now, since we throw everything away. T_T

To be safe, everyone turn off JavaScript!

That time I took a comment from @satchmoz and made it seem like e started a thread with #groupware in the title... https://talkgroup.xyz/t/groupware-is-the-new-bbs/603?u=maiki

But it is just me being weird with Discourse so I can discuss why I think #Nextcloud is the new #BBS. Thoughts? ^_^

Anyone got an resolutions or plans for 2018? I am spending between now and the new year kinda planning what I want to learn, do and resist.

Yo #gopher folks! Moved from discussion (https://discourse.joinmastodon.org/t/add-gopher-to-uri-schemes/696?u=maiki) to feature issue: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/6072

I don't think much discussion needs to happen, but you might want to 👍 or ❤ that issue if you are interested. ^_^

Catching up on feeds and sipping hot toddy.

#IBM released an #OFL font called #Plex: https://github.com/IBM/type/ (via http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11/use-ibm-plex-font-ubuntu).

Kudos for them doing something reasonable. Not being facetious, I want to encourage companies to make new and better type, and putting it into the world, as good citizens (the folks that make up the company).

If you'd like #gopher links to be hyperlinks in #Mastodon, maybe ❤ or lend your voice to https://discourse.joinmastodon.org/t/add-gopher-to-uri-schemes/696?u=maiki ^_^

If @gemlog (or anyone else) wants to see how #Discourse works, I run an instance at https://talkgroup.xyz/. It is very low key, and generally meaningful conversations. And also a great place to test drive Discourse!

If you sign up, you can @-mention me, and I will gladly talk ya through anything, such as how wiki pages work, or mailing list mode, etc. ^_^

@lnxw48a1 I have, it's a good one.

No doubt more have been added since, but a few years ago I just installed all the self-hosted wikae at http://www.wikimatrix.org/. ^_^

Setting up mah blawg. I need a place where I can put long form, unimportant stuff, as well as pics of my kid.

I am sure I will cross-post a bunch of stuff here, but in time I hope I can #OStatus-enable it, let folks sub directly to it.

@satchmoz the SCUBA example is extreme because I am an autodidact, and actually can't learn like other folks. But from trying to make the case for free desktops for decades at this point, the impression I've gotten is that folks can't imagine how a free software ecosystem works.

Reasons I've heard over the years include: free software must be a scam, no one will help if I am hacked, that didn't come with my computer, it must not be worth money if it is free, etc.

I know I am starting to grok #vim: I get annoyed when writing on the web when I can't use motions to operate on the text...

Does that go away? Is that why so many programmers I know hate using websites?
