In most of my world, 45 and his crew is a life altering menace. But to my church circle, it was just politics. It wouldn't affect their white lives much. Or they loved him.

So I decided to outreach. And I sort of stumbled onto the concept of writing down book notes- I read a lot and should remember to take notes anyway.

But, this gives me a handle on to providing a tiny homily on the frame of the world we live in. Bit by bit, drip by drip.

I'm using Facebook as a book review platform, essentially. I keep in touch with people, but I drop my 1-4 paragraphs about the books I read, sharing them with friends and family. And, amusingly, some of the local DSA, which runs on FB.

I think I'm the only person I see in my circles who creates original content besides photos.

It all started with the Papaya Potus and realizing my Circle probably preferred him. I wanted to ... provide a window... into the world I live in. How do I do that?

@aral happy to hear that. Also happy to answer any questions you may have. I have many resources for common lisp!

@ljgww thank you. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

@jalcine @aral thank you.

Happy to answer any and all questions about it. There's definitely massive room for sophistication, specially around the categorizing of all posts into the same group output.

@yukiame I thought it'd be a long thin stick.

common lisp code that took all of my posts from the FB archive, then generated markdown files from them all. Now to figure out what is worth posting to the public web.

@barbanegra absolutely! typing this on a Gentoo system, long term low key advocate of AGPL3. I've been working with linux since 2002, with a stint in solaris around 2003-2004. my work machine is almost always a bare metal linux system, typically debian.

@aral Sure thing.

If you want to vacuum posts out of facebook (from their JSON archive) into something like a markdown world, I have that code 9/10 written.

General offer to *everyone*:

I love getting email - paul@nathan.house

It's like Mastodon, but far less ephemeral. ;-)

I like talking Theology, being a Progressive Pentacostal Christian.

I also like talking Computer Science (databases and SRE topics in particular)

I also particularly appreciate talking history, with an interest in the volkisch thought.

And if you have a college thesis - I love reading them!!

Finally! Happy to read resumes of software engineers & line managers for review

@kai it was cold.

Pretty outside.

A gorgeous cold day in the PNW. On the train to #Seattle - and the wall is too cold to lean against in the seat.

Kettlebell swings time tonight. I've fallen behind on the #strength and #workout grind. Conference, feeling sickish, didn't push it. No guilt. But time to wave a cannonball around.

@jalcine I just want to treat the cell network as another network interface with a handheld computer.

@jalcine that's hardcore, man! I keep thinking about building a PiPhone.

Good luck.

Thinking of writing a structured log server over the hols.

I have a starting prototype in #Rust for Json events.

Maybe I'll polish that up and add a grpc endpoint. Haven't used protobufs before, it'd be a good experience.

Obviously it'd be agpl3.
