If I weren't sick with a cold I might have tried making some Content for $DAYJOB about Transgender Day of Visibility coinciding with World Backup Day.

Content warning:Severance S2 finale

I genuinely did not know that #Severance was getting more seasons and thought that was a decent finale. OTOH I do want to know what Irving is up to now.

Soft diplomacy has its problems but look at the alternatives.

> Voice of America was founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda and now reaches 350 million people weekly with domestic news translated in nearly 50 languages.

I'm currently mirroring https://www.voanews.com/ and https://www.rferl.org/ for @SafeguardingResearch but https://www.rfa.org/ is blocking both wget and ArchiveBox. Any advice?

Should I read *Careless People* by Sarah Wynn-Williams or will it just make me more angry? Either way, good to see the #StreisandEffect in action.

I've downloaded plenty of torrents in my time[1] but never created a torrent of my own until today. Thanks @SafeguardingResearch for getting me to try new things, and congratulations to @KathyReid for getting the project onto the orange site.

[1] Not being cute, I actually started using bittorrent in the 2000s to get genuine Linux ISOs.

Content warning:first thoughts on Daredevil: Born Again

1. OMG they killed my favourite normal guy!

2. In the year 2025 Mayor Fisk is somehow not the scariest thing in politics.

3. I've spent the last few years catching up on about 30 years of Daredevil in print, and I kept getting confused about whether I've previously seen a character on TV or only in print, and which era or story arc they're from.

4. I used to think Bullseye was The Worst, until I got to the Muse story.

5. Don't get on the wrong side of BB Urich.

I often scroll past sponsor(ed) posts on autopilot but couldn't go past this one. I said to my partner, you know how I have an app that tracks my coffee beans? (yes, groan) ... now I can do the same for my fountain pens! (more groans)

TBH I don't use my pens as often as my pencils so I might not get Penedex just yet; but I'm glad apps like this exist.

@coffee I'm considering my first grown-up grinder upgrade from a #Timemore C3. We brew with #AeroPress, #MokaPot (might be getting a #Brikka too), and #V60. Would a #1zpresso X-Ultra be a good upgrade? It looks like I'd gain a lot more precision and the external adjustment would add convenience.

Can anyone recommend a #commandline or #terminal #MatrixChat program for someone who likes #irssi? #iamb isn't quite doing it for me.

Content warning:very minor spoilers for Severance season 2

Now that I'm caught up, I'm scrolling back through #Severance posts and seeing people nerding out about #FountainPens (this week) and #typewriters (last week). I love the analogue-tech nerds of the fediverse.

On the one hand, streaming TV, and my habit of catching up years after everyone else has watched a series, make it a little frustrating to have to wait a week for the next episode.

On the other hand, it is fun to be able to chat about the current episode with the rest of the fediverse and even with my hairdresser yesterday – it's like the old days when this was the normal way to watch TV.

#IndieWeb-ers: I have some ideas about I might list #comics on my #reading list, but does anyone have creative examples of including comics in a reading log? I'm thinking specifically about whether/how to differentiate current monthly subscriptions vs past series that I'm reading in book form.

This is what my (prose-only) reading page looks like now: https://www.claudinec.net/reading/

Oh no, what happened to #rogule?

Yet another (new) reason for me to keep @Vivaldi as my main graphical browser. It's sad to see the decline of Firefox and Mozilla though, as I got online in the Netscape Navigator age.

And now I'm trying the #iamb #tui client for #MatrixChat

Updated some docs, now seem to have fallen back into the doomscrolling trap.

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:17:03 +0000

OK Claudine, enough doomscrolling, let's get back to reviewing documentation for #SafeguardingResearch.

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:00:15 +0000

My #commandline and #tui everyday productivity workflow is getting more solid: #taskwarrior, #jrnl, #offlineimap, #notmuch, #neomutt. I was using some of these tools one or two decades ago until I was tempted or forced onto GUI and cloud solutions by various projects. But now I can access my terminals from anywhere thanks to my #tailscale #vpn – no need for other people's clouds.

One of these days I'll write a proper blog post or series about this setup.
