Yesterday I found the nightly builds of Weechat Android on the Play Store -- it seems rather bug-free and much more stable connection-wise than both the "non-nightly" release and Glowing Bear.

Setting up a Mastodon instance & connecting it to the #Fediverse was impressively easy. The only thing worth mentioning is that you might want to check out https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1670 if you're using Ruby 2.4.1 with Mastodon 1.1.2.

Keep calm & federate on.

@natecull Yep, pretty much:
> (= '() nil)
false

I believe that's at least partly due to the interop with the JVM.

@rkarabut In general, I'm not too thrilled with using handheld devices for reading technical material, but it's very convenient. Kindle DX was decent, but it's pretty old by now and I feel there should be better devices out there. I'm pretty fond of eInk, though - I don't mind the slightly slower page turns and it's very easy on the eyes

Thanks for the heads up on the Xiaomi! I'll definitely take a look.

@natecull For what it's worth, Clojure does this:

> (first nil)
nil
> (second nil)
nil
> (rest nil)
()

I'm not sure what to think about the result of `(rest nil)`; it doesn't sound very consistent.

What eInk device does the #Fediverse use to read complex technical PDFs? I adore my Kindle Paperwhite, but it's not adequate for that use-case, and I hate reading off of my monitor.

I found these two very interesting:
- https://getremarkable.com/
- https://onyxboox.com/boox_max

They're both quite expensive, though...

@jarann Find one, check out the people they follow and who follows them, repeat. :)
@natecull You should definitely follow one of its developers here, @rootkovska :)
@stefanieschulte Sure thing! "stretch" will actually become the new "stable" very soon, so it's pretty solid.

@stefanieschulte I've been using Debian testing (currently "stretch") for a while without any issues. There are a few tools (like apt-listbugs) that can help avoid any critical bugs, but that happens rarely. It's very usable.

If you absolutely need stability, don't require fresh packages and can live with a painless upgrade every now and then, stable is probably the way to go.
