Been putting off upgrading to 2.4.0 until I had time to deal with it. Glad I did because boy was that a mess.
Work-in-progress. Working on it a bit by bit, like an hour or two before bed at the most. I’m working on it a bit differently than I normally would, so we’ll see how it goes.

Had some permissions problems with my Mastodon install (that's impossible!). Hopefully got that sorted.
Zora Neal Huston interviewed the last known survivor of the Clotilda, the last known U.S. slave ship — that smuggled enslaved Africans to Alabama in 1860, a full 50 years after importing slaves was outlawed.

I wrote a bit today about 1Password, software subscriptions, and pass:
I was talking with folks earlier about how people don't use hashtags as much as they could on #Mastodon, and it's because seeing a post full of tags is kind of icky, and people don't want to feel spammy.
It's actually really cool that people are being considerate and trying not to spam each other! I'm into that. 🙂 But I'm also sad because it means it's harder to find posts.
So I made a Github issue for putting tags at the end of posts under a "show tags" button.

Pinafore is an alternative web client for Mastodon that I'm releasing today. The goal is to make a lightweight standalone web app that can plug into multiple instances, with a UI focused on speed and simplicity.
Pinafore is still beta-quality in places, but it's already the main client @ElfLord and I have been using for the past few weeks. I've been working on it since the start of this year. Hope y'all like it. 😊
Was nice driving home today and spotting a funnel cloud forming on the horizon. My phone blared with a tornado warning. “No shit. I see it.”
Farewell, Takahata-san. Grave of the Fireflies is the absolute perfect sad movie. It is so depressing I haven't seen it in years yet have vivid memories of scenes from it.
I can think of no higher praise for a filmmaker, animated or live action.

Huh. I found a password manager that's "unix-like" in the sense that
Passwords are just GPG-encrypted files laid out in a particular way. This means you can arguably use git to version and distribute your passwords file.
The amount of plugins suggest that modularity is paying off. I wonder what the browser and mobile experience is like. I wonder if there is yubikey support.
I like the idea of not needing a self-hosted DB, or something like dropbox.
