If I ever write a fediverse client, one of the main features will be a configurable threshold of followers of an account so I know not to engage. Somewhere north of 5k (sometimes lower) there's no "hello friendly neighbor thanks for answering my question" but mostly "GTFO reply guy".

I've been using LibreWolf as my "personal" browser on my work mac (next to Firefox as a default browser) for a while and apart from a couple oddities it's actually nice. Yes, I know that profiles exist and yes, I know about containers - but I prefer to have a different browser installation, least of all to have a different icon in the taskbar/dock. On Windows I use Firefox Developer Edition for that.
Stuff I noticed:
- WebGL and a couple things are disabled for "fingerprinting" reasons
- saving passwords is a bit spotty, esp the popup asking if you want to
- not really sure if clearing cookies on close works, I'd say... sometimes?

"Lol," said Gandalf. "Lmao."
Tochter übt gerade unten Bella Ciao auf der Gitarre und ich fragte sie wie sie dazu kommt das zu spielen:
„Haben das gestern im Musikunterricht gelernt und Frau X sagte wir sollen es so oft und so laut es geht üben.“
Frau X ist erzkatholische Organistin in unserer Kirche und Musiklehrerin und wie ich jetzt weiß, auch eine erfrischend subversive Antifaschistin.

Migrating some websites and web apps from one server to another.
And ugh, might just convert everything from postgres to sqlite in the future for personal small projects.
Debian is the most significant Linux distribution for many reasons, and its decision to leave Musk's site makes me respect its leaders even more.

So I had this x230 that I installed with Debian in July 2013 as a work machine, used it daily until 2017, then very regularly until 2019 and sporadically since then, always just upgrading the OS.
Somehow the network config had broken (not the main problem) but while digging around I found so much cruft that I had collected over the years. Using GNU stow, then shifting to nixpkgs, 20 Docker volumes without any images or containers, bridges, lxc, vagrant setups, a root partition too small so I had symlinked several things to /home/...
Anyway, made a backup and installed a fresh Debian 12 with a heavy heart, this installation was the longest-running Linux install I've ever had, going from stable to testing and back again. xfce is running nicely and everything seems to work out of the box, not that I am very much surprised. Only that it's X and not Wayland, I simply wasn't sure about that.
Maybe I need to replace the SSD anyway at some point.

Youngsters find it hard to believe, but before Apple introduced the first cell phone, you had to carry one of these bad boys with you if you wanted to stay in touch with friends
