Sadly, mastodon.technology is closing end of October 2022. My new account is @mecinus@bsd.network. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for all the effort you put into this instance, @ashfurrow!

Planning to move from Digital Ocean to Vultr. This seems like a good time to automate my setup. Is ansible the way to go for a #FreeBSD setup?

Spilled coffee into the trackpad of my work laptop, and it turns out I did not take a backup of my VPN config in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, so I won't be able to connect to the company network from another machine either. Good start 😠

Watching Adam Savage sorting electronic components in his shop on youtube. Which reminds me of me having to finish building my shop.

Every time I turn on my wireless speaker, it starts playing Spyro Gyra. Not sure why, but I'm not going to fight it.

BeReal has become my personal art project. I'm posting photos daily to the social network, but I don't know any people using BeReal, so my posts are not visible to anybody. Antisocial it is.

Rewrote the backend for my #bsd news aggregator at https://bsdnews.jan.bio/ The app is now written in #common_lisp , but the part that fetches the feeds is still python. Never got friend with cl-feedparse #openbsd #freebsd

E-ink smart phones seem kind of cool: https://www.cect-shop.com/en/hisense-a5-pro.html#images-11 (via gemini://kota.nz/notes/a5/)

I miss Borland's Turbo Vision. Luckily, there is a modern cross-platform port with Unicode support: https://github.com/magiblot/tvision #c++ #terminal

Digging my way down the TLS rabbit hole.

I'm looking for a raspberry pi 3 or 4 with ethernet, but they seem to be completely sold out in Norway. Any ideas where I can order one, preferably in Europe?

Finally added finger support to ncgopher https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher #gopher #gemini

Released version 0.4.0 of the TUI #gopher and #gemini client ncgopher with vim-like search in pages and lots of other improvements and bugfixes. https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher #rust

Tried to upgrade my VPS to FreeBSD 13, but went out of diskspace in the process. Now I'm wondering why I didn't take a snapshot before the upgrade. Bummer.

Playing with OS/2 for the first time since 1996: gopher://jan.bio:70/1/phlog/20220410-os-2 gemini://jan.bio/glog/20220410-os2.gmi :-)

Finished todays adventofcode just before bedtime. Nice!

@kensanata I have difficulties accessing your gopher server. All I get is an empty response. Is the address correct?
