#FediHood is now available!
Talk with people near you. A local chat on the #Fediverse where you share only your city, never your exact location. You adjust your timeline with distance and topic filters.
It's in early beta and web only for now. It connects to the whole Fediverse, and you can send #E2EE DMs between FediHood and Holos users. The source code will be published soon. Don't hesitate to share!

I always suspected a UK government would eventually reverse course on "coding in public".
So I've been backing up all government code. For six years.
Today I finally generated a report on what has been deleted. Its much worse than I realised.

@suricrasia your posts look so good with your instance theme. sucks that fedi doesn't preserve that onto timelines.
“Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers

@toiletpaper Yeah, honestly I think I'll just set up a client from scratch that does reading/sending with all the backends I need. It's unfortunate this sort of setup isn't more "standard" but it makes sense given the history of email.
@toiletpaper I see. I think s-nail is pretty much a more recent version of the same interface. It's bundled with arch which I use on most of my boxes these days. https://man.archlinux.org/man/mail.1.en
@toiletpaper I'm using tdsr but really any CLI that has minimal output and doesn't do a TUI should be fine. e.g. if it outputs raw content to STDOUT I should be able to hear it without issues. Stuff like loading indicators and line numbers is what messes me up.
Also I need to somehow integrate with Microsoft and Google mail since I use them for work. 😅 From what I understand, that's a major PITA.
@toiletpaper Hmm, mail might do the trick. In my case I can't use TUIs because I'm interfacing through a terminal screen reader and dynamic rendering messes with its readback.
By mail you mean s-nail? Do you know of any tutorials for doing a complete setup with it?
