@mark @babelcarp I just wanted an excuse to use that gif
@mark the deal definitely looks something like this...

Something a bit different today...
There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).
Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.
Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.
If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:
(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)
I know this is US-centric, but the coolest library database is Freegal, which gives you X number of downloads per week. There are some real gems in it. The metadata isn't great, but other than that it's perfect: a perpetual source of cool music I can own. Definitely check it out if your library subscribes.
@mark this is why I only know and use four git commands
@martyn I'm on paternity leave now so I'm not writing at all and I do feel a little bit of a recharge happening. Once I'm back writing regularly again, I'm considering a sabbatical every seven weeks to similarly reboot.
Me: Wow! A lot of hockey in the Fedi today. Everyone is talking about the Seattle Kraken!

@cheribaker I print and edit everything on paper. I'm constantly apologizing to trees
@amit I'm a Typora fan. Not free but worth paying for.
@hierofalco what story, if you don't mind sharing
@rythur @ryanschultz in terms of artists, the best thing to do is buy albums rather than stream. For email, I love Fastmail.
today's horror in backward compatibility
@mark Were they sessions that started in 1999 and never ended?

Nothing clears the head like a good journaling session. Even if you don't gain clarity, at least you get some perspective.
@hyde nah. Just super easy to update a site.
Jekyll is absolutely my favorite CMS ever.
New phone. Exciting but also super annoying logging in to everything again...
Rainy Thursday. Good day to wonder if I'm a clone.
