Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

@niconiconi I thought they had an "upload" form.
@icedquinn This is definitely not my experience.
@metalune@fosstodon.org They'll come for mastodon eventually.
totally serious tinfoil territory
@bonifartius Yeah, definitely agree extra ram is nice. My main computer has 32G of ram and I compile everything from tmpfs which is super nice.
That laptop is 10 years old btw, so it was the max I could get at the time.
Eggs are much better than meat and milk. Remember that they're just sitting around (possibly under) chickens until they're collected, you can leave them out for quite a while before they go bad. In addition, eating uncooked eggs is usually considered much more safe than uncooked milk or meat.
I don't understand why you wouldn't put eggs in the refrigerator though. I've had eggs that lasted a whole year because I do this and it adds mass to the refrigerator which can help reduce temperature swings.

@bonifartius How do you run out of 8GB? I have an 8GB laptop with a dead hard disk connector on the motherboard and I just use 4GB as a rootfs (via tmpfs) after booting from a thumbdrive.
@metalune@fosstodon.org yeah, that;s exactly why I play ukulele, they're a lot easier to buy in multiples and leave laying around. Pianos are big and expensive so you never end up practicing on them
@metalune@fosstodon.org Emacs configs, Writing a web browse,. Writing a small interpreter, learning ukulele.
@0 I have a hard time imagining XMPP being safe to use in any way in a car.
@icedquinn They're mostly auto generated from .desktop files now so it's not such a big deal.
@freemo Oh gosh don't start that one.
IMO the whole abortion thing is just used to divide people into two groups to make marketing/campaigning/PR easier.

The hackers thought they were setting up an audio-based exfiltration method on an air-gapped machine, but I actually tricked them into fixing my audio on Linux
Did my cell carrier start giving me a NATed ipv6 address?
I guess they would have gotten in trouble just dumping everyone's phones on the public internet.

We *really* need to establish signing commits with a verified key as common practice in software development.
For some critical projects it should probably even be a strict requirement for collaboration 🤔
(for some it already is, but it's still the exception, not the rule)
