Definite stance: email remains the best mode of asynchronous communication 1-on-1, being a mighty standard that doesn't prescribe any particular clients. However, its game-winning design didn't very well up-scale to multi-user conversations, where each of history, timing, and synchrony are long-standing problems. Mailing lists were a complicated way of solving some of those problems. My current favorite solution is Zulip, which really is just a beautifully polished mailing list implementation.

It was a simple task. "Just put a notice on the front page." I planned an hour, just to be safe. See, I've just changed OS and haven't done this process since then.

I think I just did my first "programming" in CSS. For the work in progress, my router simply provides no URLs for paths not yet created. On the table of contents I finally made a #css rule "a:not([href])" to be clearer than just having a click do nothing.

Shoot. My default "match vowels" regexp doesn't work on Portuguese, where there are all those accented vowels.

TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP . Discussion about decentralized messaging solutions brought this up, for when paranoia (of which I have a healthy dose) dissuade you from Telegram or Signal. I once knew it as Jabber, but in one form or another the solution has been around since 2010. I'm still tired from getting all my contacts to move to Telegram from SMS (evil by circumstance) and WhatsApp (evil by FB control), though. And, personally, I'm still intrigued by #DeltaChat as a means of reducing the buy-in cost. Or I can just stay where I am on Telegram. 🤷

or, anyone doing serious computer troubleshooting. I just had this while trying to install my printer in #guix.
