Registration for my personal .info domain now costs five times that of our family .uk domain.
I’ve had jamescooke.info since 2003 and mainly used it for hosting email. It seems like it would be annoying to move it to a cheaper .uk domain, but, maybe worth it in the long run 🤔
Anybody else using #Gerrit for code reviews?
Most other #Git servers have a repo browser and render markdown. That'd be really helpful for any non-developers, because we try to keep our documentation in Git, but it's a tough ask for any non-developer to learn how to check out a Git repo, just to read the docs.
Is there anything like that out there? I did a quick search for 3rd party tools and plugins, but couldn't find anything. Readonly mirror to e.g. Forgejo would be the last resort.
@mforester gerrithub(.io) exclusively supports GitHub auth, so it's usual for a project to have a browsable remote there.
For self-hosted Gerrit (and Gerrithub, IME) I believe there's a repo browser called "Gitiles" which Gerrit integrates with.
Proving my dedication to #decluttering, I'm throwing away this tin of foie gras, because I'm not longer interested in eating it, and it's over 12 years out of date. And the run is rusty.
Marie Kondo hasn't got shit on me.
I'm taking no questions at this time.
@coldclimate Someone in my family just found (and discarded, thank god) a bottle of Calpol-esque medicine in the fridge which had recently expired. In 1982.
My dad is having his first job interview in more than 30 years and hooh boy is there so much knowledge about video calling technology and etiquette that I just took for granted 😳 Like, I can't explain why, but calling into an interview in portrait mode feels so casual / unprofessional... but his computer is so old that the only usable webcam he has is an iPad, and landscape mode on the iPad means it's hard to look into the camera on the side while talking 🙃 Wish him luck! #HCI#UI#UX
@janeadams Random idea: if he has access to a USB webcam and a USB-to-lightning adapter, he might well find that they Just Work together acceptably ...
Today I went #hiking along the #Ridgeway 😀 I managed to go 13 miles, though it was a really hard slog at the end!
I went past Wayland's Smithy, #Uffington Castle, and a LOT of hedgerows ... here's a little thread of photos I took:
Absolutely losing it after discovering what3words took control of the whatfreewords domain by arguing that "three" and "free" are indistinguishable when spoken.
@SamJSharpe@coldclimate@jontyClearly the site replicating their service should be whatfourwords.tld, with the fourth word being the invariant "bullshit".
@aronow This is Charlie! He lived most of his 16 years up in Ripon, North Yorkshire, with a friend of our family, Audrey, and his sister, Lola. Audrey passed away in 2022, and our family had promised to look after both Charlie & Lola. Sadly, Lola had to be put down before she reached us, but Charlie came through & has been a friendly and very vocal ray of sunshine in our lives ever since! I'm gently memorialising all 3 in the docs I write for my day job :-) https://alpha.cuelang.org/docs/howto/transform-yaml-with-cue/
@PurpleBooth A great track 😀 From their /next/ album, the track "Omen" contains my mandatory walk-on music (if it were ever to happen) for any keynote I deliver:
> Now, the writing's on the wall
> It won't go away
> It's an omen
> You just run on automation
In this video, I'll give you 5 reasons why I think you should learn Scheme this year! Regardless if you are a programming beginner or an expert hacker, there is a lot to be gained from learning this language.
