Sounds already too complex for me. I wrote my post as Gemtext (the Gemini markdown) and wrote a python script that convert it to HTML and generate an index page. Also, I put the CSS in each page because I’ve 42 lines of CSS and I did the ma

Thanks, it really count for me to know that people care about what I write. Indeed, I’ve merged my blog and my capsule now. Those are the same content (because I realized that, sometimes, stuff I wrote on Gemini ended being shared on the we

The fact is that Twitter makes you believe that you are listened to, even if you say shitty stuff. Mastodon confronts you that if you say shitty stuff, nobody wants to listen to you. People complaining being banned or being on defederated i

It is funny how, in their own bubble, people assume that their opinion is held by 70% of the population while it is often the opposite (fun fact: more people voter for Hillary Clinton that Trump yet Trump voters believe that they are the m

Let’s say that I want to move my @ploum@mamot.fr account (my real Mastodon account) to another server, let say "writing.exchange". 1. I create an account @ploum@writing.exchange on writing.exchange. 2. I go to mamot.fr and, in the

As 14 yo are very rarely at work, NSFW means that the content is for them, right? Or they understood it mean something larger and, as every 14 yo on earth, they will happily comply and never open content which is marked "please do not

Exactly. Everybody seems to look for the place "where everyone is". Truth is that there is none. People are always spread around many different places (and it’s a good thing). Is everybody on Mastodon ? Absolutely not (but you wou

While I perfectly understand, I’m a bit worried about my own web browser ( Offpunk ) which uses python-requests and is thus very often associated with being a bot. The browser has the goal of being light and downloading only the text and pi

Migrated to Bitwarden for the opensource years ago. Stayed for cheaper price, linux support, simplicity and "out of my way" philosophy. Never looked back to 1password.

Monopolies are always bad. Always. And Github is a proprietary software which is nearly a monopoly for hosting free software (how ironic, isn’t it?). Exactly like sourceforge was, you are right. Each generation must learn it the hard way.

Also support displaying picture (try chafa with any jpg/png file inside kitty). That makes browsing with offpunk a completely different experience.

I’m not so optimistic. I feel the opposite: managers are convinced that "real" work is all about copy/pasting slides in powerpoint and clicking cells in excel. In fact, most of them are happy to "work" on their phon

Funny. I find the short passage more telling than "Awesome, a masterpiece (John Doe)". But the short passage is rare and more "litterary". Usually, it’s a summary of the book (often written by the author himself/her

When Jack first started speaking about bluesky on Twitter, years ago, ActivityPub was a lot more niche and he ignored any message related to it. It definitely looked like a NIH as he could have started to discuss activitypub specification.
