      manpageblog v1.6 just got released. It is a static blog engine concept that treats written content like classic Unix man pages. It puts content first without sacrificing style and delivers a clean, elegant reading experience free from JavaScript, infinite scrolling, and other distracting clutter. The result is a fast, focused, and genuinely enjoyable way to consume high-quality content which can easily be served on very low power systems and follows the pure minimalism concept.

      manpageblog is written in Python and available for many systems, including , , or based ones like but also on like or .

      Changelog v1.6:

      • Pagination support added
      • Sitemap support added
      • SEO optimized
      • LD+JSON support added
      manpageblog was initially crafted by me to match the minimalism on FreeBSD and you can directly start with it from the ports:
https://www.freshports.org/www/manpageblog/

      The project source is available on GitHub at:

          Use `journalctl -f -u servicename` for real-time service logs. The `-u` targets specific service units, `-f` follows live output. Add `-p err` for errors only.

              I can say, however, that I've reunited with an "old friend" who is still in great shape. Before I get dozens of replies about it being insecure: in theory, it is, but it's not accessible from the outside. It's isolated within its own network and is only able to connect and fetch backups for 'extreme disaster recovery' (only at specific times, restricted by specific firewall rules). It served its purpose today, and tomorrow, it might be even more useful.

                        Seems KDE's new login/session manager which is supposed to replace sddm dropped FreeBSD support and will be systemd only.

                        I could rant about this being a typical techbro linux move (and about fedora, as far I can see in this case) or ask on the kde discuss what's the real deal, but I am tired of this, so tired...
                        It is sending exactly the wrong message to other OS ports and it's why I left the GNU/Linux world. Move fast, break things...

                          Wayland is the successor to the X server (X11, Xorg) to implement the graphics stack on Linux. […] I don’t want to be stuck on deprecated software, so I try to start using Wayland each year, and this articles outlines what keeps me from migrating to Wayland in 2026.

                              Manuale d’uso di SNAC2, guida semplice

                              Benvenuto su SNAC2. Qui trovi le istruzioni essenziali per usarlo ogni giorno, scrivere post, rispondere e gestire chi segui.


                              1) Entrare e capire le pagine

                              Quando apri SNAC2 dal browser vedrai due “mondi”.

                              Pagina pubblica

                              È il profilo visibile a tutti.
                              - mostra i post pubblici
                              - chiunque può leggerla senza password

                              Area privata, dopo il login

                              È la tua “casa”.
                              Qui puoi
                              - scrivere post
                              - leggere i contenuti delle persone che segui
                              - rispondere, mettere like, fare boost
                              - vedere notifiche
                              - cambiare alcune impostazioni

                              Suggerimento
                              Se vuoi fare tutto con calma, usa sempre l’area privata.


                              2) Scrivere un post

                              Nell’area privata trovi il riquadro dove scrivere.

                              Post normale

                              1) scrivi il testo
                              2) premi “Publish” o “Post”

                              Gli a capo restano come li scrivi, quindi puoi andare a capo quando vuoi.

                              Scegliere chi lo vede

                              Di solito puoi scegliere tra
                              - Pubblico, lo vedono tutti
                              - Non in elenco, è pubblico ma non finisce in certe liste
                              - Solo follower, lo vedono solo i tuoi follower
                              - Messaggio diretto, lo vedono solo le persone indicate

                              Se non sei sicuro, usa Pubblico.


                              3) Rispondere e parlare in un thread

                              Sotto un post trovi di solito il tasto “Reply”.
                              - scrivi la risposta
                              - invia

                              Le conversazioni sono ordinate a “rami”, come un albero. È utile perché capisci subito chi risponde a chi.


                              4) Like, boost e bookmark

                              Like

                              Serve per dire “mi piace”.

                              Boost

                              Serve per condividere il post con i tuoi follower.

                              Bookmark

                              Serve per salvare un post e ritrovarlo dopo.

                              Suggerimento
                              Bookmark è perfetto per “me lo leggo dopo”.


                              5) Seguire persone

                              Seguire qualcuno

                              Se trovi un profilo interessante
                              - premi “Follow”

                              Da quel momento vedrai i suoi post nella tua area privata.

                              Smettere di seguire

                              - premi “Unfollow”


                              6) Menzionare persone e usare hashtag

                              Menzionare

                              Per chiamare qualcuno in un post, scrivi
                              @nomeutente@dominio

                              Esempio
                              @maria@esempio.it

                              Hashtag

                              Per parlare di un tema e renderlo più facile da trovare, scrivi

                              7) Mettere un avviso contenuto sensibile

                              Se stai parlando di qualcosa che può dare fastidio a qualcuno, tipo spoiler o contenuti delicati, puoi aggiungere un avviso.
                              - attiva “contenuto sensibile”
                              - scrivi una breve descrizione, per esempio “spoiler” o “tema delicato”
                              - poi pubblica


                              8) Aggiungere un’immagine o un file

                              Nel riquadro del post c’è un modo per aggiungere un allegato.
                              - scegli l’immagine o il file
                              - pubblica

                              Suggerimento
                              Se è un’immagine, aggiungi una breve descrizione quando possibile, aiuta l’accessibilità.


                              9) Messaggi diretti

                              I messaggi diretti sono come post privati.
                              - scegli la modalità “Direct”
                              - scrivi i destinatari o menzionali nel testo
                              - invia

                              Nota
                              I messaggi diretti sono pensati per pochi destinatari, non per “chat di gruppo”.


                              10) Notifiche

                              Nell’area privata trovi una sezione notifiche, dove vedi
                              - chi ti ha seguito
                              - chi ha risposto
                              - chi ha messo like
                              - chi ha fatto boost dei tuoi post


                              11) Piccoli trucchi che aiutano

                              - Se un post non appare, ricarica la pagina
                              - Se una conversazione è lunga, scorri e cerca le risposte annidate
                              - Se vuoi scrivere più chiaro, usa frasi brevi e vai a capo
                              - Se vuoi essere gentile con chi legge, usa l’avviso contenuto sensibile quando serve


                              12) Problemi comuni

                              Non riesco a entrare

                              Contatta l’amministratore e chiedi un reset della password.

                              Non vedo post nuovi

                              Ricarica la pagina. Se succede spesso, può essere un momento di manutenzione.

                              Non si caricano immagini

                              Aspetta e riprova. Se continua, segnala all’amministratore.

                                                Use `tmux` for persistent terminal sessions on servers. Your work survives SSH disconnections. `tmux new -s work` creates a named session, `tmux a -t work` reattaches to it.

I haven't been able to stomach that, even though I presume that's a lot of my competition.

                                                                I simply can't get to an interview. Historically, I've done three interviews and got the job each time, because I'm a real human being who is friendly and chatty and presents himself sincerely (or, that's my guess, anyway).

                                                                Before I've done: bartender; bicycle courier for Deliveroo in for two years (best job ever); private tutor for five years in (mostly piano but also maths, Irish, English, flute, tin whistle); bookies clerk for a short period; a few other odd bits - one highlight was writing reviews for a theatre company.

                                                                Oh, very comfortably fluent in , pretty fluent in (my first love), and intermediate (which I would love to have a chance to go back speaking and learning).

                                                                Tech-wise, it's been mostly on the / / side of things. I would happily work on anything that is one or more of challenging, interesting, useful, or moral.

                                                                Money doesn't rule me. I want to live with a humane level of comfort, that's all.

                                                                                            This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."

                                                                                            In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.

                                                                                            I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.

                                                                                            I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

                                                                                              decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/run

                                                                                              (Work-focus, as that is where I spend most of my (computing) time, but I am Linux-only for personal computing too.)

                                                                                              And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.

                                                                                              Good luck!
