Started looking into gemini space. Love how it feels - it's like the web ca. mid-90s. UI is back under your control and you can focus on reading the content instead of getting the site to work (because either you have issues with noscript turned on and sites requiring JS to display text or you have it disabled and have to click through modal windows informing you of cookie settings, sign up for that newsletter, etc. to get to the content).
I'm using Castor and wanted to merry it to my Gnome desktop, so clicking links in Firefox/Chromium opens them in Castor. Oh, and I got a gopher client for free with it as well. Was bummed when Firefox dropped gopher support. Here's how to register the gemini protocol in Gnome (and build castor):

While grep and sed are commoly used, awk fills a valuable niche when processing structured text, avoiding multiple pipes or more complicated regex extractions. Here is a handy flowchart to pick the ideal tool for your text processing task:

Small tools to use as (non-sharable) sketchpads - if you need a quick spreadsheet calculation or text editor and are to lazy to open a terminal. Good example of #minimalism and very #privacy minded.
Maybe a concept we could evaluate for use in our fediverse software as well:
This forms a relative reputation system. As uncomfortable as it may be, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, and different jurisdictions have different laws - and it’s not up to the Matrix.org Foundation to play God and adjudicate. Each user/moderator/admin should be free to make up their own mind and decide which reputation feeds to align themselves with.

Liebe Freunde des gepflegten Alteisens! Kommendes Wochenende ist Vintage Computing Festival Berlin 2020 https://vcfb.de/2020/), und ihr könnt das alle besuchen, ohne auch nur einen einzigen Fuß vor die Tür zu tun. Ich bin dieses Jahr leider nur passiv dabei. Schade finde ich insbesondere, dass dieses Jahr die Fotografiererei auf der Strecke bleiben wird: https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=52924836%40N00&text=vcfb&view_all=1 #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfberlin #vcfb
Everything you always wanted to know about punch card data encoding, but were afraid to ask:

@Retrocomputing Forum #RetroComputing
What did code on punch cards do with the other six bits per column?
In the fifties and sixties, program source code was typically stored on punch cards, one card per line.retrocomputing.stackexchange.com
The most common card format was the IBM 80 column by 12 row. For source code, this was commonly

Atari Portfolio address file reader
Little command line reader application for the Atari Portfolio address file format. While intended to store addresses, it is a neat little key/value database and can be used to store all kinds of information. Many Portfolio users stored other things in it, for example command references, notes or task lists.github.com
Falls Du einen hast und das Display noch funktioniert - Quietscht Deiner auch so, beim Aufklappen? Bei meinem habe ich deswegen versucht das Scharnier etwas zu ölen, aber es ist immer noch recht laut. Auch habe ich den Bolzen wie im PoFo-Wiki beschrieben bearbeitet, um hoffentlich die Lebensdauer des Bildschirmkabels etwas zu verlängern.
Ich habe das Teil seit Jahren nicht mehr benutzt. Ich kann mich noch daran erinnern, wie ich 1999 damit an einem meiner Romane an Bord eines Flugzeugs auf dem Weg in die USA getippt habe.

Für mein erstes Projekt in Rust suche ich noch eine geeignete freie Lizenz. Da es sich um einen Dienst handelt, welcher hauptsächlich als Webseite genutzt wird, hatte ich an die AGPL gedacht. Mir fiel aber auf, das die meisten darin verwendeten Bibliotheken MIT und Apache lizenziert sind, was ich eher von Software kenne, die auch kommerziell genutzt werden soll. Für Empfehlungen die für oder gegen eine der genannten Lizenzen sprechen bin ich dankbar. #FollowerPower

Oh, cool: Wenn man die Nachricht vom Enigma Coin aus dem Open Enigma for dummies Handbuch entschlüsselt, stösst man auf ein Geocache-Rätsel in der Schweiz. Ich bin dann mal Beschäftigt.

Didn't remember how awkward it is to get disconnected from the net. Now having to use my backup SIM card in the notebook for internet over GPRS/WWAN - to rant on social media about not having internet.
