Lazy Reading for 2018/08/12

Nicely esoteric this week.

In Other BSDs for 2018/08/11

Overflow that I couldn’t catch up to before last weekend’s In Other BSD’s posting time.  I try to always have these by 9 AM Eastern time Saturday.  (Same for Lazy Reading on Sunday)  I mentally imagine everyone sitting down with a drink and nothing else to do but click links, those mornings.  At least, I hope that’s what it is.

Lazy Reading for 2018/08/05

This is a straight dump of open browser tabs.  You can tell what motivated me to set up the Mastodon account for the Digest this week, from some of the content.

Your unrelated video of the week: LOCAL58 – Show for Children.

In Other BSDs for 2018/08/04

I have more to post but just plain couldn’t get it all pasted!

 

The Digest, now on Mastodon @bsd.network

This is way overdue: I’m now posting Digest notes to bsd.network/@dragonflydigest, a BSD-specific Mastodon server.

It’s bothered me for a while that I’m autoposting Digest headlines to Twitter, which is useful for Twitter users but still supporting a walled garden.  Mastodon is a better implementation of a similar idea, and bsd.network nicely groups all sorts of BSD people in one place.  Right now I’m just posting the Digest headlines here into the Mastodon account there, but there’s added value from the additional BSD-specific conversation around it.

I haven’t (yet) found a way to translate the local timeline on bsd.network into a RSS feed, which would be super-handy…
