😻 My header pic features my cat #Plop!
✨ Thanks to this post (☝️) TIL about Large Scale Systems Museum / Museum of Applied Computer Technology!
😎 Super cool and easily within driving distance!
🌞 Plop hopes you have a great day!
🧪 I found myself establishing connections to new hosts often enough this week that this was super helpful:
🌟 echo $(whoami)@$(curl --silent ifconfig.me)
🤭 Not new, just more helpful than usual!
🌊 I've been using Shaarli very happily at https://brie.run ever since this chat!
✅ It's super cool and I use it pretty often! I especially love the tag cloud and the ease of export.
💯🙌 Thanks for the recommendation!
@argv_minus_one Thank you; it does make a ✨ lot ✨ of sense from that perspective!
:ablobcatbongokeyboard: This might be obvious by now but I am from the States and was exclusively thinking about US English in my original message!
🤭 FWIW, I am fluent in UTC and proficient with Celsius!
:neko_smiley: Happy Caturday!
:blobcatheart: This is one of my absolute favorite pics of Plop!
🤭 Despite the very sad look on his face, he got in there himself.
@michaelharley 🌊 I wrote a bit about how KOReader, PocketBook and Calibre are working for my workflow partially to reply to your note: https://brie.dev/ok-reader/ #KOReader
🤯 ✨ TIL that the main dev pronounces it "caliber" (and not "ca-libre")!
😆 The inaugural toot is meta: https://brie.lol/@brie/114197213489924212
🆕 ✨ My latest favorite thing is feediverse: I'm using it to push the RSS feed of my public bookmarks to Mastodon!
🐈⬛ Brie Carranza boosted:
welcome to 2025 where mainboards have 7 different kinds of USB ports
🤯 TIL that "UTC(NIST)" is a thing that exists to provide the official time for the US.
📜 The earliest implementation of UTC(NIST) was built in the 1960s by NIST"s predecessor, the National Bureau of Standards.

@dsalo 🤭 A kindred spirit! (I'm very interested in how others approach bookmark management!)
📦 I'm a long-time fan of archivebox.io but I like trying new things!
@dsalo 😻 This is super neat: thank you so much for sharing!
✨ I was taking a peek at Shaarli this weekend so it's neat to see it in use!
@dsalo 😻 This double slide deck is ✨ awesome ✨: bookmarked!
🤭 I'm curious: do you happen to have a publicly available list of the stories you mentioned on slide 14?
✨ I disabled the YouTube app on my phone last night and now it's turning into an unintentional resolution for the year: can I make it to the end of the year without re-enabling it? (I still have YouTube in the browser on my phone and I'll still use YT on the desktop.)
💆 Dear future Brie: it's OK if you re-enable YouTube before 2026 gets here.
🧪 I'll frame this as an experiment rather than a resolution to lower the stakes.
