We have two slots available early next week. If you have not submitted a show (for a while) to #HPR then now is your time.
If you haven't done so already then send in a #introduction recording.
You can always ask @perloid or @ken_fallon for ideas.

A boost would be appreciated.
One week using #Fedora 36. I initially installed it at home for personal use, but I've been so impressed with it that I'm now also using it at work. This is the first non .deb distro I've used in over 15 years and at the moment I can't see any reasons to switch back. Lovin' it!
Spilt coffee on my keyboard and the "f" key died, so purchased a SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL as a replacement. Pretty happy with it, keys feel nice and responsive and it works well for coding. It's not totally silent (described as whisper quiet), but definitely less noisy/annoying than my previous mechanical kb. Not sure about the RGB stuff and there is no official Linux client. Not bothered anyhow, just wanted something nice to type on. https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-3-tkl
Couple of days using #Fedora 36 and it feels solid. Totally unquantifiable, but it feels like less gaffer tape is used when putting the distro together, compared to say Ubuntu.
It amuses me that the #Fedora package manager is called DNF, a commonly used acronym of Did Not Finish. I've yet to see it not finish 🤪
apparently my elderly neighbor has been maintaining a personal website about the history of UK photography and it is an incredible piece of work.
apparently he still uses some piece of adobe software from the 90s. there is so much care and effort here, and its such a pristine image of the early web being still updated 😭
deb-get is a neat utility for #ubuntu users. Makes installing and updating popular applications from upstream repositories and download pages super easy.

OK who can help take Matt Mullenweg up on his offer to bring #Tumblr up to full #indieweb standards? cc: @humanetech
Not a joke: this is a very real opportunity... #openweb
Kind of reminded me of being a kid and recording the radio's top 40 charts on to cassette on a Sunday evening. It was usually crappy quality, but I'd listen to the recording all week.
Found this nifty feature today when using Shortwave, not sure about the legalities of it, but it's pretty cool to be able to instantly grab a copy of a song you've just listened to on the radio. Yeehaw! 🤠
I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
Only been on indieweb.social for a little over 24 hours and I've already come across lots of great #indieweb content. Super happy and impressed.
Cool things people do with their blogs! https://brainbaking.com/post/2022/04/cool-things-people-do-with-their-blogs/
Small and independent blogs are always full of surprises. The more blogs I stumble upon, the more genuinely surprised I am by the things people do with their blogs. It seemed like a good idea to summarize highlights here. I hope it might inspire non-bloggers to blog and bloggers to tinker more wit..#Webdev #IndieWeb #blogging(https://inhji.de/notes/cool-things-people-do-with-their-blogs)
