(for future readers: this table is wrong, #DeltaChat doesn't require phone numbers or #email for registration can be used anonymously without providing any data at all, for #telegram encryption is not supported in groups at all, only in 1-to-1 chats using the "secrets chat" which don't even sync across devices so is highly impractical and not much used by people in the end)
From all of us at HKC Radio, we wish you a Merry Christmas.
As a result of some oddities surrounding schedules, we have chosen today to let you hear music on shuffel most of the day, and at a time TBD, run the Lessons and Carols service @coasterfreak88 submitted to us, in its entirety, as it was cut due to a technical error last night.
Replays will begin late tomorrow night after Christmas unwrapped and Home Alone II.
If, like me, when you think about AI your thoughts drift to the organic composition of capital, here’s a thought you may find interesting: capitals with a high organic composition can only maintain profit levels so long as they can prevent excess supply from entering the market.
For Christmas, I got an Omega Engineering talking multimeter... I have one, but it's in storage, possibly forever, and they're damn near impossible to find at a reasonable price, if you find them at all.
Also got an Ebow for an electric guitar that I don't have, which is interesting, and an Orba2, which seems to be an odd little round thing that makes musical noises.
I had an Ebow, but lost it when I moved to New York.
I'm never quite sure whether Advent should run 24 or 25 days, so if you're of the "24" persuasion, consider today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent a bonus 🙂
Today it's rss2email¹, which is I read my RSS feeds². I prefer to read my RSS via email for a number of reasons:
• I don't need to learn Yet Another Set of Keyboard Bindings because I already know my MUA's key-bindings
• I can use any standards-compliant MUA to read my RSS feeds, whether I have them delivered to my mbox file and read with mail(1), or delivered to my normal mail account and read them via mutt/neomutt/Claws/Thunderbird/whatever
• I have offline access via OfflineIMAP/mbsync and any changes (deleting entries, read-status, flagging, stars, tags, filing, etc) gets synced back up to my server, even across multiple machines
• I have all the filtering power of my MUA
• plenty of utilities also speak IMAP, so I can write scripts to (post-)process my RSS feed too
• sharing an interesting article with friends is as simple as forwarding an email
• my backup process for email also automatically backs up my RSS feeds too
• because it runs from cron(8) on a schedule I establish, I have more control of my distractions (I usually run it around 4am gathering feeds for me to read with breakfast). I found if it ran hourly or even multiple times per day, I'd get sucked into constantly checking to see if anything new/interesting had arrived
• control remains with me on my machine rather than handing my reading habits over to some 3rd party RSS reader-service
And I love RSS because it is a pull rather than a push. If I subscribe to your email newsletter, I have to trust that you'll respect my email address and not share it or lose control of it, and cutting off email subscriptions is sketchy. But with RSS? I just stop polling that feed if I'm done with it and it's gone.
I would like to read my RSS via e-mail as well, but I don't have a server. I know there is Blogtrottr.com, which delivers RSS to e-mail, but it doesn't allow me to customize the "from" header to fit the article's author.
If you have the ability to send mail from your machine (even if it's just configured to use your mail-provider as a smart-host), rss2email should still work.
Granted, if your email provider is MS/Outlook, they don't play well with third-party SMTP/IMAP clients, but that's on them and the folks who choose to use them 😆
Probably old news but my mind is always blown by all the stuff #curl can do. I had zero idea that curl has a —form argument that lets you simulate filling out a form, complete with a file upload. Let me automate a super annoying task for a friend with a dead simple bash script.
Great! NiceGram's text box no longer works either. There goes an alternative. If multiple developers would stop using the native Telegram interface (because yes, tons of these third-party clients do), we wouldn't have to deal with things like this. Bright Guide is outdated and hasn't been touched in ages either. If anyone has any Telegram client alternatives, I'm all ears.

in reply to -/mondstern • • •Linux Mint is a good choice :)
There may be some Linux cafés or repair cafés near you willing to help with this. endof10.org/places/ lists a few but I am sure more exist :)
Maybe people at the Linux Mint forum on forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum… know places you can go to too but I have no experience with that.
