Secret Sneepsnop Gift Ideas:
* Adorable attempt at drawing someone's fursona
* Record yourself singing a song you wrote or just a popular song you change the lyrics about
* Gift a cheap game from steam or humblebumble that's cheesey and pertains to their interests or a joke about them
* Make a gamezine in pico8
* Write a very touching letter about their positive qualities
* Make a bot based on or inspired by their posts
Sneepsnop gifts are meant to be silly, cheap, and fun. It's about the exchange!!

Those days when we used to put hours into making html pages with tiled backgrounds, lots of tables and all the strange fonts 👾 Yes I am that old.
there's a stream of live coding of development work on the EFF's Certbot! ( https://certbot.eff.org/ which i guess many people here are familiar with already :3 )
check it out if that's your idea of a good time!~
introduction stuff is happening now talking about the project~
#bulletjournaling today i watched a YT video and the person had a monthly wish list, directly next to their goals/todo-list. how great is that? I made one for my november setup too, to make sure I fit in some me-time and stuff for myself and time with friends the coming month!
There is a new wireless daemon for Linux called iwd, developed by Intel to be an alternative to wpa_supplicant. It is meant to be more lightweight, e.g. to run on embedded devices. Also, I think it should be more consistent in its view of the wireless network status, as I learned in the talk at the "All Systems Go" conference.
I just checked out and compiled the code: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/about/
It's released under LGPL.
I loved the limited space on a tape because it's just the perfect fit for my autistic brain which is in love with repetition ^^ Yes I like loops and short playlists so this is just perfect.
I could of course burn audio to CD and then use my old player/recorder for the cd->tape part. Or I could try to get a walkman with a 3.5mm line in and connect it to the PC.
It's not magic I just need a walkman now!
I'm one of those now I guess
I still have an old CD and tape player and recorder thing and old mixtapes. But I would really love a portable player again.
There are those tape to usb/mp3 converter things out there. But I would love to be able to convert in the other direction. mp3 to tape.

obligatory comment: physical things fall apart in obvious ways, "digital" things deteriorate in often unnoticed ways http://xkcd.com/1909/#
preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: https://figshare.com/articles/Evaluating_Interactive_Archives/5483836 https://mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFwf50RfyeEqzk
