My current sunday project: Testing out VMWare Fusion 13 on my Mac M1. It seems not too bad.
Getting to know debian netinst.

But, while eating my breakfast behind my computer, I look outside. It is cold (-4C) but dry, and quiet. I think I rather head out for a walk to our allotment garden. Putting the kitchen waste on our compost heap. Maybe bringing back a bottle of rainwater for our plants. Breathing the fresh air, getting my blood flowing.
Have a great sunday everyone!

Omg, there's a button in my web interface that enables me to hide boosts?! I LOVE THIS!
I know I will miss a lot of content. But what remains is people's thoughts.
(Although Metallica would disagree ;-) )

Hello @motungator, welcome to the fediverse 🙂

My sunday geekery: I recently switched from #emacs and #org to #obsidian. I love it and it suits my brain better.
I also wanted to blog with it. The obsidian-wordpress plugin was not what I needed. I finally found #swiki, a very simple python script, with which I can create a static site.
Only markdown converted to html, my own css, no javascript, self-hosted. I used rsync to copy my files over to my virtual private server.
If you're interested, have a peek. Still WIP

Browsing @barrd 's excellent website I found
https://barrd.dev/article/apple-mac-easily-accessible-folder-for-screenshots/
I did not know you could start the screenshot application with shift+cmd+5! Also, to change the default folder for screenshots from Desktop to something better...why did I not think of this before?
You can learn something new everyday :- )

Also, I'm thinking about what made Mastodon special for me. Yes the lack of algorithm, but also the feeling that there was a small community that got to talk with each other.
I think for me that is much more valuable than just spamming the latest hype. This is probably not fair to extravert people, and I don't mean to offend. In the voice of Elvis: a little more conversation a little less action please. All this crossposting and boosting aint satisfactioning me. ;- )

I noticed yesterday that I was becoming anxious using Mastodon.
But why? What has changed?
1st, the advanced web interface gives me too much information.
So I disbled that again.
Second, I noticed some peeps I follow who post several times per hour (!). Often single thoughts, missing a verb or just boosts. Again TMI. I unfollowed some. I know that I can mute them, but what difference is that to me.
Lastly, I would like to be able to not see boosts. Especially boosts of crossposted twitter posts
