Notes

Awesome post by Rixx, one of the two admins of https://chaos.social, about running a Mastodon instance with thousands of users and his experience with the social aspects around that.

Mela looks like a really nice app for iOS to collect cooking recipes. It’s by Silvio Rizzi who also developed my currently favorite RSS reader, so I’m slightly biased 😅

The new release finally integrates with the Files app, something that previously prevented me from using Cryptomator. They’ve also changed the pricing model, going with a free version that can only read encrypted vaults while the full version also offers write-access. € 11.99 for a lifetime account is fair but there are also some offers if you’ve purchased version 1.x in the past (either free or just €1.99 if you want to make a donation).

Oh god, tmux also has a plugin manager?! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Everything has a plugin manager nowadays 🙄

Nice tips for working with multiple accounts and SSH keys on Github. I also didn’t know about the output of ssh -T git@github.com to determine which account would be used 😍

… or at least the funding part, and the feedback part,… and probably more. Nothing new but still depressing and frustrating 😞

When you lead a whole country into a total mess like Brexit and then stumble over your quiz master role at a Christmas party … that was not supposed to have happened. This is so Boris Johnson…

This post presents a simple system for managing your attention by splitting tasks into 4 categories: quick & easy, cleaning, lengthy/difficult, and finally fun tasks. You’d create a bundle of four tasks with one from each category and do that bundle more or less in one go.

IMO this sounds like a quite nice approach to get your self going and keep motivated 😀

For those of you who didn’t have the joy of fixing log4j issues and feel left out, this should be something for you (if you’re using Go): Brad Fitzpatrick released a little logger that also resolves JNDI URIs and sends out HTTP requests where not appropriate. Too soon, Brad, too soon 😅

Someone please check the temperature in hell. If they were not owned by Meta I might even consider getting back onto that platform once this “feature” has been launched! At this point, though, Instagram is probably the one user-facing product at Meta with some kind of growth, so that’s not going to happen anytime soon 🤪
