My takeaway from the actix controversy is that Reddit is pure, unadulterated garbage.
On the plus side, in spite of my issues with git submodules, I've replaced Google Analytics on my personal blog with something more privacy focused and tracker free.
Getting my periodic reminder that git submodules, while useful in some situations, are a pain in the butt to manage.
Just did a 'sudo apt autoremove' that deleted 62MB of stuff. I remember when that would have represented half of my hard drive.

Took my first look at Owncloud and NextCloud.
So... Both look nice.
So why would one choose one over the other?
Is this going to be a Firefox / Iceweasel thing?
Contemplating switching to GNOME Desktop. I like XFCE better, but GNOME seems like the path of least resistance for having stuff work. 🤔
Taking a short break to play with my new toy, a Circuit Playground Express from Adafruit.
Going through my RSS feeds looking to prune any blogs/sites that have lost interest in, or that have stopped posting new articles. #rss
Rebuilding an old laptop with Fedora Silverblue 31. After making a mess of Silverblue 29, I think I have a better idea of how to use it properly.

I've been pretty lax about blogging this year, but I did manage to put together my annual post about my favorite books I read this year.
Be very wary of signing an online petition. You may be signing up to allow the petitioning organization to send additional messages to your government representatives without your consent.
Self-hosting and ambient computing are more difficult than expected. At least without spending money on external hosting services.
Annoyed with the explosion of package management tools. I really don't want 3+ ways to install software on a given operating system. 🙄
It's been ages, but I wrote a short blog post about some of my favorite CLI tools.
Welp, I just gave GitLab some high-quality tracking data of me deleting my account.

Open source projects which lack licenses are quite annoying.
Please license your project, otherwise it's not FOSS and you shouldn't be calling it as such. Even small things like shell scripts and Vim themes require licenses to be FOSS.
License your code, please.

We all know that Google (with Chrome-ium) has at least close to 90% of the browser marketshare on the internet.
Which is your primary browser on your computer?
Remember that Brave, Opera and Edge are Chromium derivatives. I consider Safari to be separate since it's Webkit and not Blink.
Retoot this to get more votes in.

Why in the wide world of sports would somebody liberally apply perfume/cologne before going to the gym. 😖
