I realized today that I’ve been enjoying the Ivory experience on my phone to such an extent that I’m only really viewing Mastodon in the browser once or twice a week now.

To put that in perspective, in the years that I’ve been on Mastodon, I’ve never stuck with an app for more than a few days, and have always just used the web client. Huge props to the team at Tapbots for their work so far!

… And I just got into the Ivory Desktop Beta! 🎉

Excited to be checking out Ivory! Pretty sure this is going to instantly become my go-to Mastodon client on iOS!

Just completed reading my 30th book in 2022, Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow. 📖

It’s been a few years since I read any books related to cybersecurity, fiction or otherwise. I probably should more often, if for no other reason than to keep myself from becoming too lax by not thinking of the implications of the decisions I make, and/or the tools I use.

Somehow, even though I’ve known of it for years, I never actually tried TiddlyWiki until today…

… and I’m kind of hooked on it now. It’s quite different than any other tool I’ve used before, but it’s flexibility and performance (so far at least) are rivaling anything else I’ve tried. And it’s a simple file I can sync between devices with ease! 🤯

Randomly found out that NetBSD and DragonflyBSD now have COVID-19… as in, they both now have the “covid” utility that prints out the well-known COVID-19 genome to the terminal…

…which made me curious if Arch has it. I shouldn’t have questioned… of course, it’s in the AUR already! And, being the geek I am, it’s now also installed on my PC 🙂

Anyone else here on Fosstodon use Nextcloud News as their RSS feed reader? Been running into a few weird issues of late where a feed will suddenly show 10+ new articles, when only the latest post is new. It’s starting to get aggravating enough that I’m wondering if it’s time for me to look at other solutions…
