    @nelson@infosec.exchange #TIL you don&#39;t have to slavishly create a .gitignore for every project, and you don&#39;t have to broadcast personal files you are ignoring. I&#39;ve used #git for years, and this is a revelation... https://nelson.cloud/.gitignore-isnt-the-only-way-to-ignore-files-in-git/ Thank you Nelson, whoever you are!

    @McWabbit The reason RAM prices went up is the bully billionaires want to outlaw personal ownership of computers and force us to use theirs instead, at considerable cost.

    @nycki I ran a chat room for ten years, maxing out at about 200 members. Eventually people get bored with it and start being nasty to each other. It is a phenomenon. (The reality is Facebook killed it.) I&#39;d be interested to hear if any management standards appear out of this, especially with regards to regaining logs and access to the old records. Keep us informed!

    My rationale for a dynamically-produced blog site, https://khleedril.org/blog/2026-03-07--dynamic-site.html, in response to https://islandinthenet.com/does-it-matter/. TL;DR Rust back-end for the win! #indieweb #computing #rustlang
