It’s time again to ask my followers: I have my homepage jlelse.dev, but I’m thinking about using jlelse.com for a more professional and appealing website about me. I can program, but my design skills are somewhat limited. What should I use to design and create the site? I used Carrd a couple of years ago. But are there any other recommendations? ⌘ Read more
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Manpage says
The user is supposed to run it manually or via a periodic system
service. The recommended period is a month but could be less.
So me doing it weekly is a bit over cautious. It’s often overseen by users that they are supposed to perform this task regularly.

That’s a comic strip. You like it very much. You probably want to send it to everyone you know. If you aren’t currently a subscriber to The Lunduke Journal, I highly recommend it. It is so choice. The free edition is great. If you pitch in a few bucks you get ⌘ Read more

I would recommend a longer rotation, perhaps? The way I see it, you are proposing a monthly one. That can make metadata huge too. Maybe yearly, or every 6 months?

@benk@kwiecien.us I’ve logged in to Monad now (iOS XMPP client) but I’ve gotta be honest: I don’t know if I’ve created a user in the app or logged in to tilde.team 🤔 Do you happen to know how I join a group? And which groups do you recommend?

@frogorbits.com Would you recommend it?
Please stop recommending JavaScript programs to me. They’re bad enough in a browser, let alone as a piece of dedicated software.
Learn Latin
Latin was the first language I learned and has probably been the most useful. Here I’ll talk about some of the things it’s gotten me and some recommendations for how to learn it well.
What I’ve gotten out of learning Latin You get multiple languages for one.Latin, as you probably know is the ancestor of Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, etc. Once you know Latin, it is quite literally downhill learning any of these. In college … ⌘ Read more
some words today on installing monolith. I still wouldn’t recommend it: @!(monolithref “install”)!@.
Calls to “own your data” and focus on “privacy” fall on deaf ears if you’re sponsored by Google and Mozilla, recommending the use of Tumblr.
PeerTube v3 is now live with Live Streaming abilities
PeerTube has recently released version 3.0.0, which has added many things, including the ability to livestream. I’ve already updated by PeerTube instance to version 3 (it is linked from this RSS entry), but the link is just videos.lukesmith.xyz .
I’m not sure if I’ll end up immediately using the livestream ability, but it is certainly nice to have a non-YouTube option which is, in fact, self-hosted.
Aside from that, I strong recommend you … ⌘ Read more

@kas@enotty.dk Hmm, I don’t really like that they also recommend Threema for messaging as this is also a closed source silo. 🤔
Just installed Catalina (my recommendation: don’t.). zsh is a fine shell…for downloading and installing other shells.
just finished the ‘It Could Happen Here’ podcast… i highly recommend it, required listening for the current political climate https://www.itcouldhappenherepod.com/
I can recommend the beach in Scheveningen (NL). Nice place, good coffee.
Recommended: McKeever’s book about the 90s https://mipmckeever.weebly.com/uploads/9/4/1/3/94130725/90sbookfinal.pdf
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia managed to be both a satisfying school harem comedy & a satisfying gothic ghost story. Highly recommend. Why the heck don’t people talk more about this show?
Lazyweb: please recommend me haunted house movies you think I haven’t seen. It’s for research. Good or bad doesn’t matter, but I prefer original over derivative.

Medium has changed their policy. Now, recommendations are controlled by curators, & anything paywalled gets submitted to them. This probably means fewer but higher-quality recommendations…
If you thought Quora’s anime tag was bad, wait until you see their The Beatles tag. If you think that’s bad, wait until you get on the automatic recommendation list for answering questions in ‘acronyms’.
Strongly recommend ‘Horror Noire’ for folks who are interested in the history of horror on film. It filled in some big gaps in the timeline for me. It’s available on Shudder, which is also streaming some flicks covered.

Lovecraft is illustrative of the first half of the 20th century because he represents several seemingly mutually exclusive extremes. Recommend reading Sterling’s Pirate Utopia & Stranger Than We Can Imagine together, then Dreams in the Witch House

TFW you’re trying to balance your desire to recommend a long list of books on some subject with your distaste for the concept of a canon, and then realize that it’s probably OK because you don’t have enough power to impact what people actually read

Life hack: find the video in your youtube recommendations you’re least interested in watching, click on it, turn off your speakers, and leave your house for a week.
Tourist Trap is apparently on Shudder now. Even though it’s not Giallo, I recommend Giallo fans give it a watch: much like Profundo Russo & other pre-Suspiria Argento, it combines messy storytelling with some beautiful, surreal, and terrifying shot composition.
Bad idea of the day: a system for sharing playlists of things that aren’t audio or online video, like themed triple-features or reading lists, so you can curate or browse that kind of human recommendation
@karen@server.gkbrk.com Welcome to twtxt. 😃 I recommend twtxt.xyz and #we-are-twtxt for followers.
