I want to set up a website for him similar to https://indiewebcat.com/ but deciding on whose domain he sits on is a contentious point with Anna Dodson 🙊 https://www.jvt.me/tags/morph/ is available in the meantime!

My #PersonalWebsite is https://www.jvt.me and as I'm very into owning my own data and being part of the #IndieWeb, I'm replying to this tweet from my website!

Site itself is Hugo and hosted on Netlify

Definitely doesn't work like that. I'm posting to this site through my own website, which means I own my content, not Twitter, and definitely not you #IndieWeb

Thanks for sharing my site! As you say, I'm quite big with IndieWeb, and for readers there are quite a few other folks you'll want to see - https://snarfed.org/ https://tantek.com/ https://aaronparecki.com/ and https://www.barryfrost.com/ to name just a few.

If anyone is interested learning more about the IndieWeb, https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ is a transcript of a conference talk I gave on what the IndieWeb is

As shared elsewhere on the site, I am very pro IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org) and therefore try to do everything via my own site.

I use https://brid.gy/ to syndicate posts from my own website (https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/04/svn4c/) to Twitter (https://twitter.com/JamieTanna/status/1254670009420431360) so I'm still owning my content, but I can still interact with folks on other platforms.

Sorry, the Alpine one wouldn't be helpful anyway. The Arch package (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/nextcloud-client/) has the nextcloudcmd executable, but it appears to need a few other things installed from the package, such as libnextcloudsync.so. What platform are you running your server on? It looks like the packages are available on https://help.nextcloud.com/t/linux-packages-status/10216 for each service - given the Arch package is the "desktop client", it appears that it's possible to install the client on your headless server and still interact with it via nextcloudcmd

I'm really sorry to hear this - I had a kidney stent put in a couple of years ago, but I was quite fortunate that it was only ever so mild discomfort, although my body at the time was recovering from my ruptured appendix so maybe that distracted me? What have you been given for the pain?

I recently asked if anyone I knew had one of the new models but got no responses (via my blog, or Twitter).

I've got an XPS 13 9343 and love it - largely form factor, but also the 3K screen - and have been wondering about upgrading recently, in part due to USB-C and fingerprint sensor, not for any other reason.

According to the Arch Wiki entry for the new XPS it's mostly alright, but doesn't seem to have fingerprint support.

May be that it needs to get upstreamed by the folks at Ubuntu.

In case it's a point of interest, the highest-end one has a 4K screen (RRP £1768.00)

I'd say go for the slightly newer one, with the caveat that if you stick with the Ubuntu build it comes with, it'll probably be alright, but if you want to re-install/install a different OS, it'll likely not work as well, and may require a more up-to-date kernel - as I decided to use Arch at the time it meant I always had the latest kernels, so as they added support for the drivers upstream, I was getting them pretty quickly, whereas friends with non-cutting edge kernels didn't have as much luck.

I really do recommend Dell for the XPS based on my existing one, and would be very interested to see how you get on with it, if you do get it, so it can inform my decision to buy one while I'm in quarantine and don't need my laptop to be as functional as I would if I were travelling.

9/11 at the age of 7. As a child of an ex-pat/immigrant in Cairo, Egypt, working for a large American Bank, with a lot of other American friends, I remember knowing something was up when everyone at school was rushed home, but didn't really understand it

Yes it was a good chat! Thanks both for it, definitely some food for thought - especially around making folks more comfortable aware when it's their turn to speak!

What sort of binary file? I remember in uni digging into ARM assembly, and the structure of those, but that may not help!

Webmentions are great! They're how I handle all my interactions with my site i.e. https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/11/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-url/ under Interactions with this post and there's great support for WordPress and many static sites, among others!

I use https://hetzner.cloud for my personal servers which have some in Germany but looks like not in Frankfurt unfortunately

I followed the instructions in https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/coreutils which prompts you to update your PATH: PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" which worked wonders, and I now no longer need to prefix with g
