I haven’t been able to find all the right groups of people on the fediverse. And this makes me sad. I follow a group of people in my field of work and a large # of people in the Apple development ecosystem.

What I couldn’t find so far:

  • people that talk regularly about
  • people that toot regularly about
  • people that listen to and toot about the albums they are listening
  • people that listen to classical music and toot about those albums.

Can you help?

mostlywater,

@al3x I have two strategies: follow hashtags. I saw this post because I follow , for example. Also, follow @feditips and @FediFollows for good curated lists of users. It's not a complete answer to your question, but it helped me get started. Alas, I can't be seen to follow a user 😜

Which is why we're all supporting the Writer's Strike, eh? :)

(You ARE supporting it, aren't you?)

Does anyone have any ideas or hypothesis why Shortcuts show up only sometimes in the iPhone searches?

There are times when Shortcuts show up. There are times when they do not. It is completely random. Not showing up is the more frequent result though.

(I'd appreciate any ideas or reposting to get answers. Thank you)

This is my Meditation focus mode. Even if no notifications are allowed, an iMessage has pinged me twice on the Apple Watch. Why?!?!

What is the crafty approach for hosting a blog in 2024? I’m looking for recommendations. Thank you

@al3x I'm very happy with https://micro.blog/. $5/month buys me everything I want. I've been self-hosting for years, but I like not having to worry about the tech stack anymore, so this is it now. Good community, too! @manton can tell you more, I think. ;)

If you like your weblog hosting service a bit weird (in a good way), check out https://omg.lol — it's ace and has a weblog component, among many other good things. Surprisingly useful stuff by @prami.

PS: I like that I can just crack open the MarsEdit app (https://redsweater.com/marsedit/) and hammer out a post w/o having to worry about git/ assets/ hosting/ etc. Micro.blog is great in that regard, has its own apps, and a good web UI. (I just happen to prefer writing in .)

I am looking for an iPhone app that allows me:

  1. to define a list of tasks (repeating every day)
  2. time the duration of each of the tasks

For reasons that cannot be explained I am not sure how to search for such an app in the ocean of iPhone apps. Please help!

Do you have or use any "Awesome *" Git repos for keeping track or finding great tools or utilities? Please do share your favorite ones.

TIL: Neovide https://neovide.dev

“This is a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform graphical user interface for Neovim (an aggressively refactored and updated Vim editor). Where possible there are some graphical improvements, but functionally it should act like the terminal UI.”

Question for users & experts:

I have tried to use replace-regexp to replace ) at the end of
a set of lines with B).

For the matcher I entered: )$.
For the replacement I entered B)

And it did not work. Why?

(I tried the second time entering B) as a replacement and it worked though)

I use a Google Workspace (something) with my domain and Google Photos.

Google is changing something about the paid storage. That has impact on Google Photos.

Documentation on how to get more space is absolutely impossible to read. I'm really concerned that this means I will lose all the photos stored in Google Photos.

@al3x You can always download an archive of all your google data (including photos) https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?sjid=13023759512195781585-EU

@0xSim I see. By paying for the service I was hoping
to get the peace of mind that I have a copy of my photos somewhere.

I chose a big company to avoid the situation of the company going out of business.

I did not account for the case of the company deciding to switch directions and stopping to care about the service. This being Google, it's mostly on me for missing this angle.

Productivity increases with the level of customization you are making in the tools you are using most often.

The downside is that the more used to these customizations you get, the more lost you'll feel when
using a system that is not configured as yours.

Simple example: create a new binding in or . This is not only very common but
also very encouraged. After getting used to that, connect to a remote server.

@al3x No problem, I'll use TRAMP :)

I am a bit confused by the advice on training I'm reading about.
On one side, there are studies saying to avoid training to failure. (this applies to non-hypertrophy training).
On the other hand, others say that endurance training requires sets to failure.

cjk,
@cjk@chaos.social avatar

@al3x as far as understood it: there are several contradictory stimuli. On the one hand muscle growth (in hypertrophy), on the other hand maximum strength and muscle endurance.

For muscle growth and endurance, it is OK and sometimes beneficial to go to muscle failure.

But not for maximum strength.
