Good to know. I have a vague interest in learning to program, and a starting point like that might be really helpful.
I'm still at the "excited my seven lines of shell script didn't burn down things" stage of learning.

That sounds like both an interesting read and way above my head right now. I have made note of the title. Thank you!
Never heard of it...
Old school fool tries to learn old school tool.
Some #CircusInPlace regulars have encouraged us to record a podcast.
I argued that we would have to lock ourselves in a closet in order to get a clean recording. It was quickly pointed out that locking two clowns in a closet and forcing them to answer questions would be a terrific premise for such a project.
And so, I need your help!
What questions would you like to hear answered by two classically-trained theater and circus clowns kept under lock and key until they provide a response?
Does anyone know where I can buy a sticker of this image?
Simpletasks can sync to a 'local only' directory that a separate program syncs for you. That's how I have my syncthing set up.
I use simpletasks with syncthing to run my life. Works beautifully. I have one node that is always on, and with it running it acts almost exactly like Dropbox.

One of the simple pleasures of it is hearing the background noises of another place. Traffic, weather, all of it is strangely comforting.
And there's the fun of getting to hear a happy narrator taunting listeners into making terrible life choices for the characters.
Brain-melting realization that this means that writing decent documentation, tutorials and FAQs is totally Cyberpunk behavior.
I've always wanted to see a linux/foss podcast that focuses on creative people (professional or otherwise) working with the software to make cool things or run their weird little empires.
I see this in new projects. Where it confuses me is in established projects where someone decides their difficult to use tool is a mark of pride.
Usability is a valid thing to consider in a tool intended to be used.
It's a useful life skill. After all, no one handed me a script for this conversation.
Today's deep thought, courtesy Carl Sagan:
"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or of acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."
