Just one person for #followfriday today: @Are0h, whose voice I always appreciate in the fediverse even (especially) when saying things that push me out of my privileged comfort zone. Also just a very kind individual!

Plus they recently converted from Mongodb to Postgres so they're clearly heading down the right technical path ;)

For a good time, run pkg_add -u while Firefox is loaded.

Racket has serialize-lambda so you can serialize clojures and send them across the wire

Stop having everything, Racket

So https://learnbchs.org (BCHS: BSD, C, httpd, SQLite web app stack) has gotten a bit of a "nerd chic" make-over. Any constructive criticism? #bchs #openbsd

So, there's been more and more talk in tech circles I follow about going back to RSS.

Honestly, I never gave it up. I read a lot of webcomics, and RSS is the best way to keep up with them.

But yes, RSS is awesome, and there's plenty of non-Google Reader options for services and apps. I like Feedbin, but it's a paid service. The Old Reader is good and free.

#OpenBSD experiments so much that I can't tell whether a patch to add colors to route(8) or a commit that removes IPv4 is an April Fools' joke or an actual change.

#OpenBSD first operating system to wave goodbye at IPv4: it's finally time to focus on IPv6. Maintenance of IPv4 has taken up resources for too long, the co-existence of both leads to complexities with inherent security issues.

I'm for one am glad to be on such a cutting edge operating system.

I'd like to read some beautiful #Android apps. Anyone have a favorite?

(Kotlin preferred but open to any.)
