Since Bluehost cancelled my deal with them (an Alumni special from back when Bluehost was US owned and a proper company, before it's current gargantuan outsourced-everything state), I realized that I can use Mastodon as my blogging solution. Hence some long posts now and in the future. #TSA_Tech #blogs

For Clojure as a 1st language it depends upon where you want to go. But here are great trail-heads:

- the best talks, most of which don't actually involve code: https://techyaks.com/clojure-all-tytop.html

- @yogthos list of beginner resources: https://gist.github.com/yogthos/be323be0361c589570a6da4ccc85f58f

- But most of all, the community: clojurians.slack.com, clojureverse.org, clojurians.zulipchat.com. That last one includes an awesome aggregator of all of them.

"#Emacs is a #Lisp machine."

I've said it before and I've been blasted for saying It. It's nice to hear someone else saying that.

trying to get the gpg keys from my #deltachat and I think I got them from the deltachat export sqlite, but copying them into a file doesn't seem to be working. I can't get around

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

the url https://linuxier.com/fixes-for-gpg-no-valid-openpgp-data-found/

tells me I've hit a rabbit hole.

ffmpeg to truncate (cut to a time limit) an mp4 video

and we're back healthy again, qotu seeing all my subscriptions like @publicvoit and the others!

my qoto "home" is now showing me only my own posts. What is going on?

why does my phone Android Firefox just find my wifi Epson printer and just goes, and my Linux in both Cups and Gnome just fails to do what is effortless on Android?

I'm looking for a monospace #font that includes this ⤵️ https://symbl.cc/en/2BB7/

Oops. I forgot to transfer .authinfo to my new computer.I can't send email with #emacs #gnus until I get it.I, because I don't remember my passwords.I had to resort to visiting gmail.com in #chrome, which felt yucky.#firefox #icecat refused the yuckiness.#guix #gmail #email #linux

I just changed my computer and installed guix thereon. I found that, curiously, my notification was not working. I spent the day debugging; the script itself ran the sound just fine. The permissions were legal. Finally I found a command that mentioned other earlier errors in my dunstrc file:

dunst -conf /home/ME/.config/dunst/dunstrc
WARNING: Setting notification_height in section global doesn't exist
WARNING: Setting startup_notification in section global doesn't exist
WARNING: Setting verbosity in section global doesn't exist

I learned that those warnings mean the setting SHOULD NOT exist, but it is (wrongly) there. Apparently that was stopping my configuration from being read. So, I commented out the misplaced settings:

# notification_height = 0 ## no more
# startup_notification = true ## no more
## verbosity = debug ## no more

There are newer locations for those settings, but I got up and running – with my audio script being read – by commenting those out.

fonts -- you don't realize how many symbols are unsupported until little boxes with arcane number combinations start appearing all over. What fonts do you use to avoid this?

current task on my new Guix setup on a Nuc desktop: get audio working. the old solution that has worked for years is apparently just for laptops. #Externals #pavuctl

I incidentally updated my IceCat browser. Now I get, "your enterprise admin has disabled Firefox Account Syncing." Now, I know this is not true because I am permanently unemployed. Any suggestions to get my Icecat able to sync with my other devices?

after lots of manual evaluating for the error, I found what was causing my init.el to fail!

some folks have recently questioned my #Linux choice of #Guix. But can your system do any of this?
