Also satellite phones cost you an eye of your head per minute

many younger people might not know of the greatest FOSS-doom hack/fork, which is psdoom, a version of Doom where you run around killing the processes on your own computer http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately I'm being thrown into traveling hell until just after the New Year's, all with a totally broken laptop setup (main laptop is in a state of disrepair, backup laptop takes 10min to boot and can't suspend, making on-the-go-hacking awful). I'd like to say I'll have interesting hacks to show off but that's probably not gonna happen. Sorry :\

My friend Serge (emacsen) and I just kicked off a new podcast, Libre Lounge: https://librelounge.org/

"Episode 1: Corporate control, org-mode, mobile phones and PDAs" is out: https://librelounge.org/episodes/episode-1-corporate-control-org-mode-mobile-phones-and-pdas.html https://archive.org/download/librelounge-ep-001/librelounge-ep-001.mp3

Thanks to @dthompson for giving us the nice holiday gift of podcast (enclosure) support for atom feeds in Haunt. I did my own part for the patch-gift exchange for submitting a patch upstream that adds support for RSS feeds, too.

Happy patch-holidaze, everyone!

So why haven't we seen the merge of existentialism and conspiracy theories happen yet under the guise that *nothing* is real, because reality is an illusion

wake up, sheeple

wow, how did I miss the rollout of the Web Crypto API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Crypto_API
