David Cantrell 🏏The next #London #PerlMongers social will be lunch on Thursday the 1st of January at the Green Dragon, CR0 1NA. Hope to see some of you there! Not into perl? We don't care. #Rust, #Python, #BCPL, #MACRO11, #AmigaBASIC - we love 'em all.

Salve J. NilsenNice!
The #Perl mongers map is back!
It's in a bit reduced form since it's hayday, but if you know of a nearby #PerlMongers group that ought to be visible, then you can help put it on the map too:
It's just a quick PR to https://github.com/perlorg/www.pm.org/blob/master/perl_mongers.xml 🤩
Easy-peasy! 😉
ilmariI finally managed to log into Xitter to evacuate the long-dormant #LondonPM @lpmsoc account from the nazi bar.
It only took a temporary Chromium profile, accepting all cookies, a TOTP code and solving 5 tricky captchas twice (because I failed one of them the first time around)!
Say hello to the official (because the pub tsar says so) #London #PerlMongers Fediverse account: @londonpm! 🎉 🐪 🧅 🍻
I saw this post about using systemd to find out when Christmas next falls on a given weekday, and it made me realise it can also be used to determine when the next @londonpm heretical social is:
❯ systemd-analyze calendar 'thu *-*-1'
Original form: thu *-*-1
Normalized form: Thu *-*-01 00:00:00
Next elapse: Thu 2025-05-01 00:00:00 BST
(in UTC): Wed 2025-04-30 23:00:00 UTC
From now: 5 months 8 days left
Add --iterations=N to see the next N heresies.

Attached: 1 image Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?” Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd. #systemd #linuxadmin #linux #systemd
faberfedorSo why is it my t-shirts that stand up best over the decades are the deep geek ones like #PerlMongers and #2600 Mag, each ~20 yo?
dezentrale e. V.Wenn Ihr an #Perl interessiert seid oder es lernen wollt, dann ist heute ab 19 Uhr eine gute Gelegenheit die #PerlMongers #Leipzig bei uns im Space kennenzulernen.
Wu-LeeThanks, @bhaugen, for the link. It gave me that feeling when you spot someone you've met IRL: I believe I've met @wim down the pub at the local #PerlMongers...
