schestowitzis the material about /fi is ok and would it ressonate with a finnish audience rather than 'insult' or alienate it?Aug 27 07:21

schestowitzToday a seminar about free software was held in the city library here in Vaasa. RMS was the main speaker. Unfortunately he slipped on ice and broke his arm in several places, and had to be put in hospital.Aug 27 07:38
schestowitzHe went by ambulance to Helsinki to have surgery today, but not before he held his speech over telephone. During the speech they showed a picture of RMS laying in a hospital bed, with his left arm covered in plaster.Aug 27 07:38

Techrights-secIt's a nasty hive.Aug 27 07:50
schestowitz-TRre gitea, I was about to install it where the  other unused container was, but seeing the extensive number of dependencies I decided to not even start. I can only imagine how hard it would be to maintain when things break and kaniini told me something to that effect to, re some git front endAug 27 08:22

schestowitzI did not know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espoo was second-largest population. The photographs (I saw all in the article) are a bit underwhelming to be honest...Aug 27 08:29

schestowitzI noticed the proximity on the map. I guess it's like Manchester and WarringtonAug 27 08:31
Techrights-secSome parts are bicycle distance.Aug 27 08:32
schestowitz-TRis the state of fi journalism still ok? I recall reading about .no journalism being in relatively good shape and netting evidence of corruptionAug 27 08:33
schestowitz-TRot: I've managed to lessen my email usage to an average of less than one outgoing message per day. Also, few of the incoming messages are of any importance. The important ones are encrypted. Debian buster still lacks the new thunderbird. Days ago it issued a new thunderbird build, but still v. 78-based.Aug 27 08:39
Techrights-secafaik, the OpenPGP support in Thunderbird is still broken even in  Aug 27 09:29

schestowitz-TRBTW, last night when I checked total number of posts I noticed one "missed schedule" post. It was august 13th IRC logs. I set that to published (better later than never). Are today's logs also due to be publisher later?Aug 27 09:36
Techrights-secOops.  IRC logs uploaded now.  In other cases sometimes it does goAug 27 10:04
Techrights-secinto "missed schedule".  I'm not sure how to find those automatically.Aug 27 10:04
schestowitz-TRThanks, I will try to remember to check these too. I used to check in the gym (that all links were working OK), but no gym any time soon, we have a superspreader PMAug 27 10:05

Techrights-secThe pandemic is growing here too though maybe not as much as other places.Aug 27 12:39
schestowitz-TRin a few days 10% of our population will have been "confirmed" with #covid19 at one point. Set aside the many unknown and 'unconfirmed' ones. So it's getting more challenging to avoid it and we adapt (how/where to shop, layers in covering...)Aug 27 12:40
Techrights-secSome shop are better than others, both in the physical layout and in the       Aug 27 14:17
Techrights-secbehavior of the other customers.Aug 27 14:17
schestowitz-TRYes, exactly, so I tell rianne to choose accordingly. The smaller shops have a lot fewer different people at any time... and the staff is behind a plastic screen, which can help protect from droplets. I'd still do this even if I got 2 or 3 or 12 jabs.Aug 27 14:18

Techrights-secOk.  I'll see what I can do during what's left of the year.Aug 27 18:00
