Any other compliance publications/guidelines of interest and relevance specifically for #Australia around data security at rest/in motion similar to UK's GPG13/PMO, NIST or US' HIPAA? I have #OAIC's Privacy Act and Australian Signals Directorate - Information Security Manual to start with. Currently doing research on compliance requirements in Australia around data security.

@deadsuperhero @gled It's worth getting some official confirmation but the fediverse does not collect the kinda data GDPR is most concerned about (e.g. real names, addresses, medical records etc etc) and it offers both export and deletion on request already.

about 4 days ago i had this incredibly stupid musical idea and it keep hearing it in my head. it won't go away

so i've had to actually create it

i present to you: the
ELEANOR RIGBY BATTLE THEME

I have used grep XY| awk '{print $5}' so many times. I should have used awk '/XY/{print $5}' in the first place.

Same for sed...

I still need to fix up that Guile tutorial, but I got carried away writing an introduction to #Emacs GUI customization (maybe I should rename the article to "Beautifying Emacs") 🤔

Browsing mastodon while keeping an eye on notifications and the streaming federated timeline. All done in #emacs.

The latest issue of c't (German computer magazine) has a four page article by yours truly about Mastodon. Thanks to @Gargron, @cwebber, Evan Prodromou, @angristan and everyone else who spoke to me in the last few weeks. We ended up scoping this one pretty tightly around Mastodon from an end user perspective, with a short blurb about the fediverse.

The online version is paywalled, but you can at least see a pretty Mastodon graphic:

Whew, that took me a while to setup mu4e with multiple accounts correctly. But now it works like a pro. I even wrote a macro to create the contexts: https://github.com/steckerhalter/steckemacs.el/blob/2e90a717066cbfa9408b5d9ab19d09a0fee099ab/steckemacs.el#L1474

I'm using mbsync for the imap sync this time instead of offlineimap (which caused too much weird errors). If you have questions, feel free to ask... #emacs

#emacs eshell is my main shell now. I use it with John Wiegleys em-smart.el which emulates Plan 9's 9term and added #bash completion, because seriously I can't work without that. You can find my eshell config here: https://github.com/steckerhalter/steckemacs.el/blob/7220d4bfc4f01b289ba548d6aa1fd1cd74ec986f/steckemacs.el#L844

The Devil looked at the robot. "Where did you get that soul from?"
"I taught a man how to play blues."
"Fair enough. Want to sell it?"
"I have all I want, now."

Don't remember where I found that but some people are making music out of the shape of a curve and the result is way better than expected
