Hi - I'm new. I used to run a pleroma instance a couple of years back, and I have some presence on port-70 #gopher and now port-1965 #gemini where I'm writing at gemini://subphase.xyz

My dayjob is in front-end Web tech but I'm more interested in unix-derivative computing, the command line, sustainable/solarpunk tech. I'm also into cycling, trekking & camping, urban gardening, vinyl audio (dub, electronica, lo-fi hip-hop), communisation theory/praxis. Favourite shape: hexagon.

Day 6 without caffeine - phew. The first couple of days were jagged with a headache. Then a little bit slow and 'confused' after that...

Now, the quality of my sleep is improving, anxiety (seems?) lower, body feels less tense and I'm generally a bit more at ease.

n.b. I'm cutting down purely b/c coffee seems to effect me too strongly in terms of anxiety and too many nights of no sleep. I'm trying to turn it into a 'special occasion' brew. Like once a month or so ☕

I've been an i3wm user for 4+ years, and about a year or so ago I was encouraged to try Sway as an alternative to Xorg, using wayland. When I tried this, it didn't support some things without a bit of a workaround (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc) but I booted up again yesterday to see and there's far more compatibility now.

It feels a lot smoother than the combination of Xorg and Picom compositor.

There's a few config tweaks I'll need to make, but I think it might be good enough to switch to now.

This mix 🎧 ❤️

After working-from-home on my own device for months, I'm laughing at my own list of requirements I've given to my IT department for what kind of device I'd like, if there were one available:

- If Mac OS X or Windows 10 then at least: homebrew/terminal extensions or WSL2
- At the *very least* a bash shell (otherwise I'll continue as I am)
- A tiling windows manager
- Oh and, ideally only recycled hardware - I don't want you to buy me something new but find something already circulating.

lol..

Can anyone help out with a #cli query on #whois: I'm trying to understand the syntax of the timestamp for DNS record updated/created date:

Updated Date: 2020-09-08T10:01:08Z

The date is clear as day, but I can't figure out which timezone this is referring to, and what the T/Z stand for.

Any help much appreciated #linux #dns
