Enjoy the laptop… cool

Not sure if it helps but the second half of this blog post on dapr and mastodon covers how I integrated my jekyll blog posts with mastodon using gh actions: https://freshbrewed.science/2023/01/25/mastodon-dapr.html

Gitea is OS but I prefer the even more OS fork, forgejo

It went from 10 to 20 on me. Considering all I lost (YT red premium content, google play music, etc) I just canceled then enabled a single user free account I get via Google fi. With money saved, bought family a spotify family plan

What do you call a cow with no legs?

When AOL first enabled UseNet (newsgroups) they had a bug that posted multiple times. Additionally, AOL users weren’t versed in internet etiquette so they would shout (all caps).
