#introduction #introductions (seriously belated, sorry):

I'm Kevin. Paid computer jockey. Currently herding variety of *nix systems. Not religious about OS, but Wintendos are not my thing.

Ex-USAF, Kinsey 2-3, agnostic pagan (Zen leanings), voracious F/SF/Neuroscicnce bookworm, inveterate (tabletop, pc/console) gamer [yes I nethack, do you?].

Slow starter socially, but once I get ramped-up, I'm just too much. :p

@GeekDaddy Pine/Alpine works pretty well for me - does what I need it to.

Another mucker in Texas. We in America are living the prequel to Stand on Zanzibar. Fucking largely preventable tragedy. Domestic terrorism at its finest.

Tiny Tiny RSS tt-rss.org is what I set up to do my own RSS aggregation (comics and news). It works great, but I don't think it meets your no clients rule.

But if you knew an accommodating nerd with some server space, it's pretty lightweight and was fairly trivial to set up (Drupal was more difficult).

@craigmaloney
I forgot "beer".

@craigmaloney
Ah. I'm humour-impaired ("differently abled") for "reasons". Most of them involve "chemicals" and "neurotransmitters". Yay!

@craigmaloney
Sez you!

(Autocorrect made that 'sex you'; and I'm still trying to work out if that's actually wrong). ;q

@craigmaloney
Eggplain?

Hadn't thought about ssd impact on battery life. That's probably the kicker. Offloading is trivial, esp with a thumb drive as big as the ssd. Time to start convincing my partner it's a viable expenditure.

@starbreaker
So, I found a couple likely candidates, one has a 128G sdd, the other a 520G @7200rpm, otherwise identical. Not sure about the speed trade-off vs storage.

@jason
Depends on what type of person you're trying to attract I would think.

@starbreaker
Sounds interesting to me, if only I could find a laptop that didn't suck to run it on.

Dist-Upgraded the home server from Debian 8 (Jessie) to 9.1 (stretch), & for the first time didn't break anything for longer than a couple minutes. Good on them.

But hit a missing dependency snag, and ldd tracing solved it. Time to file a bug report.

Realization: I'm a nerd.

Looks like yes on RSS Feeds:
MP3 Feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpenMetalcast
OGG Vorbis Feed (my pref) http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpenMetalcast/ogg

Le sigh ...

As seen when I went to the car to come home from work. "Q: What does it mean?" "A: Rain and optics!"

@craigmaloney Bandcamped!
And now it's on my phone's SDcard.
