Thinking about putting together a remote-terminal-only laptop. For going hog-wild with Byobu/Tmux on some of my remote boxes via SSH & Tor.

I'm guessing that a Chromebook-class device is the best fit there; even the official software builds include a terminal app. So long as long as there's not weird restrictions down in there somewhere about storing keys and whatnot.

Maybe there's other gotchas, though? Like needing browser stuff for network config? Anybody been down this road already?

So, what’s the latest on client-side scanning, then?

The lazy Firefox logo I posted last evening was rushed since it was getting late, so here's a more polished version. Attachment 2 is the transparent version so you can use it as icon

Announcing Meme It So! It's a Star Trek The Next Generation Meme and GIF Generator, inspired by Frinkiac.

Oh, wow: ANRT just released a big set of typeface revivals under the OFL: https://anrt-nancy.fr/fr/fonts/

The most interesting forms are in the Gotico Antiquas, but that's kind of a given compared to something as well-trodden as Baskerville.

@aday blogged about some of the platform work we've been doing lately.

tl;dr: GNOME apps are going to look so dope in a few months, it's kind of ridiculous :P

When you buy a pot of basil, you are not buying one plant, but a tightly sown clump of more than 20 seedlings.

This gives the appearance of an extremely healthy, bushy plant, which looks great on the shelf. But the reality is that these seedlings soon start to compete with each other for space, causing the plants in the clump to succumb to lack nutrients.
