Just waiting on a patch panel and some more #Ethernet cables and then my homelab can be restarted!

While reviewing for CSCW, came across an interesting paper that looks at press freedom at different countries (spoiler, India is almost at the bottom).

That reminded me of something I did quite sometime ago.
What does #techtoot think. Something like this in todays world, still relevant?

I just used git stash and I'm amazed by how easy that works.

I used it to stash changes in my website content that were applied on my laptop, and pull changes that were pushed from my desktop. After the pull, I used `git stash pop` to re-apply these changes, and now all is in sync again.

So this randomly popped up on my Google Chrome news feed and I’m like “Wait… THAT’S POSSIBLE?!?!?!”

I’ve been thinking of going to the next EMFcamp in ‘24

I wanted to go to this years one which would have been funny due to the fact I work for the railway and there were so many talks on trains it got dubbed ‘train track’

But I’m struggling to think of a topic to talk about because all the ones I would do have already been done better than I could have done…
