Checking out tarsnap for backup of my freebsd machine. It seems quite expensive, so I'm curious what deduplication and compression do.

Not my day today. Can't install ZNC :-(

Totally failed when I tried to install the IRC proxy bip on my VPS due to missing SASL support. I'm considering ZNC, not sure what other alternatives I have.

Somehow ended up reading the emacs lisp source code of tetris.

Rewrote my BSD feed list in Common Lisp: https://bsdnews.jan.bio/ Though I have to admit that the cron-job fetching the feeds is still wriiten in Python. Python's feedparser seems so much more powerful than cl-feed-parser #commonlisp #bsd

Writing a little web app in Common Lisp. Yay!

I've collected some #BSD feeds and put them on a webpage. https://bsdnews.jan.bio/ Any idea which feeds to add?

XTerm just crashed. Bummer.

Had a network outage at home. Kids and wife desperate. In the end, a factory reset of my Deco X60 router resolved the issue. But I have no idea how and why this happenend.

I want a machine with an fvwm2 desktop. Wait, I have a spare machine...

Totally went down the RPG rabbit hole. Ordered #Cyberpunk Red today.

Started playing BatMUD last week. Got a level 25 dwarf now :) I haven't played a proper MUD for over a decade...

The i3 window manager is the best piece of software ever written.

Any recommendations for an offlineimap-replacement?

Playing around with sanity.io, gatsby and netlify.

Hooray, a new release of the #gemini and #gopher client ncgopher is available! Check it out at https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher

Porting a 15yo script from Perl to Rust. Digital archeology.

Woke up at 4am only to pour a cup of hot coffee over my feet. Let that sink.
