I had to go in to the office this morning briefly, and on my way from the carpark, I met a family of 5 Bush Stone-Curlews, one of which I photographed.
Then, when I got home again, the King Parrots were waiting for Lunch.

Does anybody know of a privacy-focused alternative to Mailchimp? I've got a mailing list I'd like to setup, but just want to send email, I don't want to subject recipients to location tracking, "predicted demographics", and all that garbage.

Again and again I am surprised how Spanish administrations pioneer the transition to using #FreeSoftware ecosystems inside Europe:
"Rianxo is a municipality with 12,000 inhabitants on the northwest coast of Spain, in the autonomous community of Galicia. The town’s public service, comprising between 60 and 80 staff depending on the season, switched entirely to open source in 2014, over a period of just one month."

Okay Fediverse I want to get to know you. Social media only works with friends. Hit me up and let's chat about whatever! Nothing is off the table. Feel free to reshare this.

The 9.5a11 alpha version of @torproject's browser ships with support for announcing your Onion site from your regular website via the "Onion-Location" HTTP header. For Nginx users: `add_header Onion-Location http://x.onion$request_uri;` and you're done.
And this is why I like a push deployment method. #saltstack #salt #ansible #lineageOS

Screw docker and your stupid network design.
I want to have a nice set of different compose files and the inter networking cockamamie is annoying the hell out of me!

I'm looking for a cable modem that runs free software. Does this exist?
I'm specifically trying to avoid a modem + router combo; WLAN technology changes at a more rapid pace than modem technology, and I'd like to be able to upgrade my router and modem separately.
But I'd get a combo if I had to.
Apparently I must be isolation bored as I just wrote another blog post. Two in one day? After 1 last year?
Here's a teaser image of the next blog post.
New blog post, detailing the new theme engine for minima.
I'm showing my friends #jitsi this weekend.
Does the #fediverse have some configuration settings or items I should check off to ensure everyone has a good time?

i just joined #mastodon and noticed it's tough to find active people to follow. #trunk https://communitywiki.org/trunk has built themed lists, which are a great start, but many accounts are stale and there's a lot of clicking to navigate online.
so last night i played with #trunk's API and packaged up some filtering and automation into #python/#selenium so all i have to do is 1 click confirm. i put it on gh this morning for other #newbies like me. https://github.com/lots-of-things/pytrunk
#Pluralsight has so much content I might have to automate learning it. I might only have enough time to do 4 or 5 courses before their free trial month of april is up.
Oh no. :P
To the #fediverse. Question for people who use #Hugo #Jekyll or other templating engines
How do you work with your blog with git on your phone? Or more generally, how do you write & publishe posts
#DarkSky is being bought by #Apple
- Removing their API by 2022, and removing their android app by 1 July 2020.
- Only an iOS app see ill be available now.

I use to immediately turn to DarkSky, but luckily for me my recent project the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has a free API for all of #Australia. And some lovely human (or AI?) has a Python module for it as well. https://pypi.org/project/weather-au/
Check your local weather services for their API endpoints!

State of the map ( #SotM, the #OpenStreetMap conference), to be held in July this year, will be a virtual conference.

Folks are therefore working on an #openSource platform for online conferencing:
