I made a whole video about this. Why gemini over gopher and why gemini over http -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q3GCzG2gvE

You can find that info and more about all the member tildes of the tildeverse (including tilde.town) on the tildeverse website here: https://tildeverse.org/members/

I love having a variety of these types of sites available for a new language. Different learners will react well to different styles. My personal favorite is AWK in 20 Minutes: htt…

Last I checked the formatting results of toLocaleString differ between browsers and NPM for certain locales. A quick search finds a handful of issues on Github about it, but I'm pr…

They're just for transactional emails, not for marketing ones. They wouldn't show very much based on how he's measuring.

(The article sums up a lot of this, but the actual website is more misleading) I went through and clicked on the about page. The books aren't sold through local book stores. It's a…

It turns out the key for me was that my mic requires phantom power and that the Fethead blocks it from reaching the mic. There are apparently some versions of the Fethead that allo…

I was a bit surprised to see the recommendation of another inline preamp in the chain with the Focusrite. He recommends a TRITON AUDIO FetHead Filter in-Line Microphone Preamp. Doe…

I was refering to plain text as the interface to the machine, not the file formats. When your primary interface is through text, it makes sense that good tooling would develop.

Yes, recutils comes in 3 forms: a c library, command line utilities, and an org-mode plugin.

Here's a real example: https://gopher.tildeverse.org/sdf.org/0/users/dbucklin/posts...

I don't, sadly. That is an example from the Recutils help docs, not my own personal collection.

The maintainer it's active still with a bugs mailing list and chat in IRC. Your findings would surely be well received.

I think you're referring to my book data? It's all from Goodreads export, not hand entered. I love my compose key and will get around to cleaning this up.

I couldn't find much more, which is why I decided to write this intro. I may do a video exploration of the various tools and features as well. It seems like others are as excited b…

Blog author here. Glad to see someone submitted this and you all liked it. Recutils has MUCH more to offer beyond the basic intro I gave here. It has wonderful org-mode integration…

Yes, you can do \n, or a literal newline and start the next line with a +. The second technique is wonderfully readable.

I use between 4 & 6 primary email "blocks" with each using several hundred aliases. I keep access to most, but not all of these blocks in Thunderbird on my two laptops. One of the …

I'm on IRC constantly via Weechat on a VPS and Weechat-Android connecting my phone. Servers I use: irc.tilde.chat irc.sdf.org irc.freenode.net and a few others here and there. Ther…

Very nice. I love the ESV translation. If you're into minimal Bible versions and old-school protocols, here's my ESV Bible on gopher: gopher://gopher.black/1/bible

That really does seem like the much saner approach, doesn't it? Like, keep display for outer display as it has the history, and use "flow" for the inner. flow: flex, flow: grid, fl…

Best of luck. We moved here this summer and it's lovely. It's quite easy with an EEA passport and remote work. If you make it over, look me up and I'll buy you a kaffi.

It's a nice front-end wrapper on MJML. It's even using the MJML sample template in this case. I appreciate the front-end work and I bet it would be helpful for some users who aren'…

To this day I still do the sound effect of the skeletons that floating up the screen as my go-to "spooky noise". What a fun game. Burn:Cycle was my #1, followed closely by Escape f…

A bit, yes. The tildeverse (and tilde.club) are public access UNIX systems just like SDF. The offerings are different and they're run by volunteers. Check out https://tildeverse.or…
