I understand the dislike for e-mail based patch workflows. I have a soft spot for sending my changes with git send-email but I don’t think its a good code review or change management process.

But mailing lists… I don’t really understand the dislike people have for mailing lists. Some of the best technical collaboration I’ve ever done has been via mailing lists. Most of them you don’t even have to be a subscriber to start conversations on; they’ll accept e-mails from anyone. And, unlike with forums, the replies come back to my e-mail inbox, which means its harder to forget about posts I’ve made.

Of course there is something to be said about how e-mail tooling can be obnoxiously minimalist, arcane, or just a thing that people don’t have setup any more in the same way as they did in the past.

Its deeply upsetting that the specification for mailto:address?in-reply-to=message_id is 26 years old and yet barely any software supports it besides Thunderbird :-(

And the alternative option is downloading an e-mail message file (.eml), opening it, and replying to that; but how many people even have desktop e-mail clients setup any more?



I admit I didn’t expect home video to have a robust micro-services architecture, but there it is. In my case:

  • Plex client for viewing (available on web, desktop, and mobile)
  • Plex server for streaming and analyzing (commercial detection/removal, credit/intro detection)
  • Radarr/Sonarr for library management
  • Prowlarr for meta-search services
  • SABnzbd for usenet downloads
  • qBittorrent for Bittorrent downloads
  • Overseerr for user discovery of content and request management

It’s astounding to go on to Overseerr, find some stuff, click a button, and a few minutes later watch it. In true micro services fashion, most of the pieces are inter-changeable with other tools if you so prefer.

I'll have to check out some of these. I haven't really gotten into audiobooks, but think about it sometimes when on my hour-long commute.





Wow! Here is Republican Sarah Longwell with a message for fellow Republicans like Mitt Romney still sitting on the fence even in light of Trump's threats to kill Liz Cheney:

Epictetus (c. 50-135 AD) was a Greek Stoic philosopher who taught that philosophy is a way of life, emphasizing ethics, human freedom, and the acceptance of things beyond one's control.

"Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life" #stoicism #life #philosophy



How would people in Sweden vote for US candidates ,


V is left wing
MP is greens
S is social democrats
C is center (conservative)
L is liberals (conservative right)
M is Conservative (Reaganite right)
KD is Christian Democrats (evangelical extreme right)
SD is Swedish Democrats (extreme right, neo Nazi and fascists)

PS. As typical, they didn't even mention 3rd parties, specially avoiding Jill Stein

I used to make radio shows and I've been wanting to get back into that for a while. I love finding and sharing exciting new #electronicmusic with people and making shows helps me do that.

The sad news that #RadioFreeFedi is shutting down has spurred me into action so I’d like to invite you to follow @audiointerface here and on Mixcloud mixcloud.com/AudioInterface/

And check out audiointerface.org/ to hear some classic shows and even submit tunes to be played.

Seen in my neighbourhood. I think we can all agree, that the left one is not a happy pumpkin.
