@ckeen@clacke I think overall markdown is the most normal-looking...it's just a shame its "spec" is such a mess. I keep thinking CommonMark is the answer, but I haven't stress-tested it since giving up on non-markup languages.
@Angle And good practice & good outcome for you (and community) if you split your project libs out into deps that you use. Means people can use your foo lib outside of foo meteor app. You might even get submitted improvements from doing that! Whereas if bundled, the lib won't be readily useable by another project.
@rhymedirective Amazingly, in New Zealand, which arguably implements a lot more socialism than the US, has a terrible library system. There's no concept of inter-library loans, and some books cost money to "borrow" (rent). So the US is, in a way, very progressive in its library system...and yet New Zealand has stuff like universal health care.
Before I have brought up my dislike of finding FOSS projects using Slack as a primary communication channel. I also want to express disdain for projects using Discord as well. But I would like to go one step further.
No FOSS project should make a proprietary service a primary communication channel, ever. It excludes those who do not want to risk their privacy being exposed, excludes those to do not user proprietary software, and does not fit with the principles of something like Mastodon.
I've been introducing a friend to using Linux, and it's made me reflect about my own relationship to it. I can't detach Linux from the "community" surrounding it. Things like Hacker Public Radio and the people associated with it not only have taught me almost everything about Linux, but also became good friends as well. I get to use an awesome OS, and I get to do cool things like the Urandom Podcast with @pokey and @x1101 , play RPGs with @klaatu, and lots of other awesome things. Thanks!
@archer72 It wasn't freeBSD but netBSD. Free{} uses an abysmal filesystem by default and now that I've tried Net{}, I can't imagine ever touching Free{} again.
I chose; netBSD for this latest install because 0) pkgsrc was fresh on my mind, 1) NetBSD had a dd-and-go pi image, and I was short on time, and 2) I'd been meaning to try NetBSD in earnest for years now.
I've run slackware on a pi in the past, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
@lostnbronx No need to change the name of an epub to unzip. Just do
unzip blah.epub
and you'll be left with the mimetype, META-INF, and OEBPS dir.
The inverse of that is actually how I make my epubs. Zip the mimetype up with 0 compression, and then zip the other stuff with max compression. Simple, and no need for any big, special "epub generators".
@mhall119 Is there a place for bug reports? I can't set my city for my account or team (the city is New Zealand's capitol, so it ought to be an option) .
