Following me without a bio, without a post, without an avatar? I’ll assume you are a bot, or a sleeper account for future spam or propaganda and disinformation. You’ll be blocked. This is the first test to see if you’re a human.

Typos, how I would like to fix them, without breaking threading. Toad lilies, not road lilies!

Is there a game that plays inside the shell that teaches you the joy of a shell life? Is Telehack this game?

Or is this the Dwarf Fortress variant of the game I want and the game I want doesn’t exist?

We went for a walk in the area, along the creeks on the hill behind the city, and back along the river. The concrete tower is the storage for a huge cereal mill within the city.

As seen in Zürich main station underground. Maybe things are getting better. Then again, it is kind of sad that “better” is “more visible in capitalism” (ads). I’ll take it, though.

I’ll try to use alex@campaignwiki.org. Say hi via XMPP. 😄

The life of a lazy Debian admin. Search online for "xmpp server for debian". Find wiki page. I have three options: ejabberd, jabberd2, or prosody. I use "apt install" for each of them and see how many packages they want to install as dependencies. Then I pick the one with the shortest list. Hello, prosody! We meet again. Let's try this.

Und diese deprimierenden Botschaften habe ich ja auch auf Englisch geschrieben, wie auch mein Blog fast komplett auf Englisch geschrieben ist. Und schon gar nicht auf Französisch oder Portugiesisch. So trage ich zur Misere selber bei.

If you know me, you know I love Emacs. The great lisp machine that actually exists. You can also edit texts with it, but mostly use it to browse stuff online, to listen to music, to chat, to manage files. It’s great. It’s self documenting. It comes with English manuals. Nearly all the functions have English names. And English documentation strings. It’s ideal for English reading users. I don’t know how to change that. I follow the same conventions.
