About two years late, but I finally finished setting up an iOS Shortcut so I can post to my blog via ssh. http://a.9srv.net/b/

Anyone seen a pixel-addressed display (any tech; lcd, eink, oled, whatever) in the range of 8"x1"?

Seeing "http://ftp" in a URL makes me happy.

Nominally, my seen/read list for 2021, but I missed a lot of short readings. I may try to write more about these things this year. http://a.9srv.net/media/2021

Web3 being "democratic" makes perfect sense if you can't tell the difference between a dollar and a person.

I just went to type the phrase "I avoid Linux like the plague" but then remembered that we've all learned that most people won't actually go much out of their way to avoid the plague.

As a postmaster, Gmail remains the most irritating domain to send to. Soooo many false spam hits, such little information provided, so many hoops to jump through.

Spent the weekend with the state Democrats at our platform convention. Good work and glad to have participated, but 20 hours of zoom over 60 hours is a lot of zoom.

Killing time in Goodwill, I picked up a desk calculator from a pile. Dude standing next to me goes "what's that for?". 😳💀

I fork bombed my computer! With ed(1)!!! Haven't done that in a while.

A 556 IC is functionally the same as two 555 ICs, but I've decided the 555 is better because search engines don't confuse it for ammunition as much.

Use C do crime! https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/media_attachments/files/107/294/565/215/390/680/original/1d29c85c0aa4c9a5.png

💉3️⃣✅ Thank you, Dolly Parton!

I want NaNoWriMo but for tech writing.

Dug out my old usb audio device and now my Plan 9 raspberry pi can play music. 💯

This week I turned 16,000 days old.

@jlj I like your website's look, but i was disappointed to find that 'finger' doesn't seem to actually work. ;-)

Based on spam logs, I am (again) considering banning a bunch of TLDs at the server level. Has anyone ever gotten legitimate email from a .work, .casa, or .today domain, for example?

I was on a call this evening discussing various redistricting proposals. Some dude seriously asserted that over-representation by Multnomah county in regional politics might lead to... genocide. 😳

“I’m afraid I don’t have time at the moment to defend positions you’ve made up for me. Have a nice day.”

Yesterday's surprising find: a little Gochu Jang (~tsp) does a nice job of improving uninspiring Italian tomato sauce. Nothing dramatic, but good.

Get vaccinated if you are able. At this point, if you are able and choosing not to, you are being incredibly selfish, full stop.

My kid just uncovered a bug in a program I wrote by grabbing my laptop and smacking the keyboard a bunch. Biological input fuzzing; a real-life chaos monkey.

I wrote a 'banner'-like program for Plan 9 (and p9p) that uses the Unicode box drawing characters: http://txtpunk.com/banner/index.html

As of about an hour ago, I'm the chair of the Columbia County Democrats. 😳🎉😱

Today I swapped out our water heater for a new hybrid one. It took twice as long as it should have and 3 extra trips to the hardware store, but it doesn't seem to be leaking and is producing hot water, so 🎉🎊🎇

First pass at sticking my twtxt in a web page. It's not escaping all the html properly, and generally needs work, but it's a start: http://a.9srv.net/tw/following.html

My toddler just figured out "hey Siri".

[20:22:00] -tower.freenode.net- Server Terminating. Received SIGTERM

Fixed another bug in my finger client: rfc1288 says lines have to end with crlf, but I was just sending lf.

Looking at raw IRC traffic streams to debug a client issue and it's 1997 again.

Fixed a bug. Found a new bug in yesterday's work. Fixed that bug.

Plan 9 got three slots in GSoC; we'll be working on an updated Japanese input method, updating edwood, and getting Oauth2 support. 🎉🐇

“Remember: the internet didn't have to be like this. A better world is possible.” I love this. telnet issue1.anewsession.com

I just timed it: 59 seconds for my Raspberry Pi to boot, 33 of which is waiting for my keyboard firmware to initialize. That's just absurd.

I've published my silly finger implementation: http://txtpunk.com/finger

Pinboard describes itself as "Social bookmarking for introverts". Maybe txtxt is social networking for introverts.

Dynamic linking was a mistake.

Anyone (preferably in the PDX area) have a way to read QIC-80 tapes?

Just over a week left to apply to Summer of Code. Plan 9 is in there, and ~200 other good orgs. Go apply and tell students you know. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

Bell Labs has now transferred Plan 9 to the Plan 9 Foundation, who has in turn re-released all releases under the MIT license. I am very excited about this. 🐇🎉

I am very excited for tomorrow.

Someone brought us pie for Pi Day. 💯

At some point, for reasons I do not understand, my feed reader replaced cabinporn dot com with freecabinporn dot com, which is not the same thing.

Plan 9 is GSoC! 🎉🐇 I've missed participating this program. https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Ta35cde1382617430-M32af07f289087f227189b74f/plan-9-in-summer-of-code

This is a good morning. 🚀🐇

I am very excited about this, and it seems like something the twtxt crowd might enjoy: https://anewsession.com/

@prologic Bug in your profile links: it's repeating a segment. For example, your face tries to get to https://twtxt.net/user/https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt

My finger server now includes the last post from tw that doesn't have a subject. 'finger a@9srv.net'

I just made the decision to allow a domain I own to expire. Personal growth is possible!
