Think what birdsite looks like from one of the company's operators / administrators. π
> The flavour of this space might change a bit over the coming weeks... This doesnβt change what [our other admin] and I are hoping to build with this community. We both want this to be a place of constructive disagreements, as well as friendships, and [the Telegram admin] has asked the same of me as part of taking on more responsibility on the Telegram side today...

Super kludgy, but it works! ^x^

mkws
today: writing a script to export a bunch of etherpads and incorporate them in my site. Lots of fun learning about awk
's gsub
to make sure all the links in the pads are internally consistent in what mkws
will output; felt particularly pleased when this line worked as expected:
awk '{gsub(/\\/nfld.uk\\/[a-zA-Z0-9_]*/, "&.html")}1' parsed_master.html > final_master.html

Ha ha! I bet. :-) Welcome @kayos also hope you stick around. :-)

Either way, it's about staying motivated to learn. I'm always on the hunt for recommendations; this one came via Tyler Cowen from Marginal Revolution iirc.
My reading has taken a massive hit since becoming a dad, though, believe me!
It's my understanding that this is the best of limited options when it comes to hosting ebooks for others; any counterarguments would be most welcome! :-)

Now I'm working on setting up a Calibre server for the club. π
I also read that, after recently changing the policy to require proof of vaccination for entry to all liquor and cannabis shops, Quebec saw a big spike in vaccine appointments. ^x^
Tbh, it was pretty useless, on my kit: it'd timeout on anything but the simplest translations. I'm still really hopeful about the project overall, but I've abandoned self-hosting it, at least for now.

I initially wanted a palatable means of keeping on top of my spam awash cloud accounts, but it's properly won my heart once again since.
master
... Noticed a few hours ago that my pod was unresponsive, and, once I was able to get htop
up, finally, I saw that the load was up near 31.00
where normally it'd be 0.31
(!).Anyway, I've restarted on the latest
master
now, obviously.

Doesn't seem to be based on any distro, surprisingly.
I didn't have many expectations, going in, but, I have to say, I'm having fun right now. This has kept my interest, and made me smile on more than one occasion.
I was just reading on their subreddit about big changes in the core team, though, so who knows where the project will be next year.
I really came here to say that all of the sub pages that are indexed (on DDG, anyway) are Yarn.social conversations! Good advertising! π
Oh, and nice avatar!
> The decision to go ahead with the sale has damaged Bidenβs climate credentials after the Cop26 talks in Glasgow where he said the US would βlead by exampleβ in slashing greenhouse gas emissions. The president, who has called the climate crisis an βexistential threatβ to the US, said in a Democratic primary debate last year that under his administration there would be βno more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, ends, number one.β

> This jarring contradiction has alarmed even some of Bidenβs closest allies, with three Democratic members of Congress filing a brief last week with the federal court calling for a halt to the gulf lease sales. The three admitted that they are βdeeply concernedβ and βshockedβ that the government is pushing ahead with the drilling βdespite its own findings that the largest lease sale in history has not had an adequate environmental rightsβ."
Unconscionable. :-( The US should have to fight for a seat at any climate conference from here on. Actions needed, 'cause their words mean nothing.
Please consider a chat with me too: jlj@ctrl-c.club; happy to do voice at call.nfld.uk too.
Havin' a beer after the long drive to Granny's. ππΊ Kids happy, eating pizza and watching Blippi. ππ
Happy Xmas, all! ππ π€Άπ
