Neat little exercise I did a while back writing the word "minimum" in a way that renders identically when you flip it upside down.
Hey group, cool little visualization showing the birthday paradox!
Yea Id switch to spacemacs just for the keybindings alone honestly.
The keybindings are another matter, thankfully they can be adjusted.. But I do find the spacemacs keybindings to be far superior and intuitive. Vanilla emacs key combinations are just brutally horrific. Never mind the lack of a popup to help guide you throug the many key combos
Just a heads up, the QOTO group server has been up and running without any problems for about a day and a half now. Looks like it is turning out to be pretty stable.
If you haven't already registered and reserved your group name feel free to do so here: https://groups.qoto.org
If you want some information on how it works and the rules, which you should do before signing up, see here: https://groups.qoto.org/about/more
There is absolutely value in learning vanilla, and hell if it works for you with no headaches go with it. But for me I had never touched vim or emacs, dont really code in lisp-like languages, and found it all very easy to hack and extend. The nice thing is the layers keep dependencies and requirements in check so literally once I wrote my plugins and got them working they have stayed working consistently for years without needing to tinker.
vanilla emacs would probably be easy to work with for most people too, but i find its easier to hack things together in ways that just create headaches later.
One of my favorite quotes of all time (hollander translation).
Not my expiernce at all. I made a tone of edits most of which were little more than one line changes. Added things that dont already have a layer for them was a breeze too, the layers were simple to work with and create and added extra functionality that made me organizing and keeping my improvements working much much easier.
Wanted to share my prototype design for the #ROES meter with the Electronics Group.
About a month ago I sent the boards off to be printed for a prototype run and recently got them in. So V2.0 is soon to be officially released (though I may do a minor revision before printing up a large number of boards).
Attached are some screenshots of the final schematic and some renderings of what the boards will look like when its done. Its a 4 layer board though so many of the traces are internal.
You can find the files for this, which will be released as open-source, here:

Vanilla is not really a huge leap. You port over all the layers to vanilla and the expiernce is the same.. but I do feel the layer approach makes for a better one so i like sticking with spacemacs, which is little more than a framework for the config
@vim What is the smallest config change in Vim that's had the biggest impact for you? For me it was reassigning ; (semicolon) to be the same as : (colon), making command mode that much easier to access.
(Second biggest is `map - :up<CR>`)
@noellabo @playground Thank you so much for your contributions to make the group server possible. I'm not sure just how much of each of our contributions to the Group Server made it into the other person's hosted server but even just beyond the group server your contributions have been significant, so I did try to make a few posts now recognizing that, as I want you to get due credit.
With that said I do want to point out that while fedibird group server and QOTO group server both share very similar approaches there are some significant changes to the QOTO group server that you may want to consider and if you arent already using the QOTO variant you may wish to use it or pull in our fixes/features as you see fit.
Here are a list of fixes/features I had made to the code base that differ from your own contributions.
* Based off of v3.2.1 instead of v3.2.0
* Fixed error/bug whereby in advanced mode a broken column was fixed in place and could not be removed producing errors (it was a leftover from the removed home timeline).
* Automated it such that all new signups are group actors by default, before it would require a moderator to go onto the command line of the server and inject it into the DB
* Fixed a bug where users who were made into groups could loose that status and not be able to restore it by checking the "I am a bot" setting, even unchecking it would not recover the group setting.
* Fixed a bug where groups would repost any time they were tagged. This would cause top level threads shared in the group to show up but then each reply to the thread would show int he group as another top level. Causing the group to quickly become unusable. Now Groups only reboost posts they are tagged in that are top level.
* Fixed a bug whereby the group account itself could not make posts without getting a 500 error. Now posts can be made but they wont show up as a group post and only show in followers home timelines, however if the account boosts its own post it will show as a post int he group.
* Changed the wording in english in several spots to be appropriate for groups
* Add hCaptcha support for registration to minimize bots/spam and make open registration feasible.
* Other minor fixes including a little CSS cleanup
As you originally said your original contributions were not intended to make for a viable group server that allowed public registration, I dont think that was even a goal, you wanted it mostly to test the group directory and for use by devs. So you really didnt need to make it useful for general users. With that said if you do want to make your server open for general users and open up registration, or even if you just want the bug fixes and added features I mentioned, please feel free to use the QOTO server code instead, its essentially built on top of your own contributions so should be a similar user experience at least.
Just to be clear if anyone asks I'd say we developed the group server together, at least as far as the Group Server is concerned. I will be rewriting the readme to something specific to the group server. I will be sure to give you special mention there as well. You can find the source for the qoto group server here if you wish to use it for your own server or to otherwise pull in my changes:
long post my opinion about attack on lyon
last time I comment about using religion as the crux to incite further violence,
and I browse on muslim community, I'm seeing many of the ustaz (religion teacher) trying hard to keep calm the muslims using argument :
"are you saying what he's drawing is actually our beloved prophet muhammad (pbuh) true face?" that would be blasphemy if they say "yes"
which is reasonable and not contradicting to what happened in the past. try browsing 'ancient depiction of prophet muhammad', the picture is beautiful and it's exist.
and also from Christian perspective the attack is actually injust, there's distinction between atheist and christian but what this muslim radicals attacking is all on to the church as if 'YOU ARE COMPLICIT TO THE ACTION'.
If only that fools know how atheistic minded french people are and even christian's faith is also suppressed by government on France.
now they're asking for problem, when do war don't do to others a friendly fire, don't force the 'neutral'to be your enemy. Even if you're on the stronger side of history.
and some of my people are saying is killing 3 people are enough to fulfill your duty? and yet you vent it again? no ... we're saying french here, they don't hold christian value, I don't know what will happen but christian might better to bring weapon and even suspect any of foreign face or be racist all together to avoid to be killed.
it would be a never end fight and it might end with the deportation of all immigrant on french without any mercy.
or might be there'll be policy about re-educate all considered as dangerous religion by using china's method.
if I can point the fault: it's the IMAM on france, they should be exchanged by true peaceful advocating imam. You can't change everything just because one bad apple, you throw bad apple off.
*and maybe this is the immigration failure to the europe. I read something in USA about how the immigrant never go outside of their ghetto, they never mix and retain the original traits.
lastly, I can be sure, if now there's no change there'll be more killing on french. This is do or die situation.
