don’t really have a favorite – started with Thunderbird a long time ago but switched over to webmail fairly early on
now that I’ve started to build a new system, I started to look around at the various options (and maybe getting off webmail or at least having local storage “backup”) – the standard GUI clients (Thunderbird, Evolution, KMail, BlueMail, Mailspring) seem to be … fine – but none of them really stand out
recently stumbled across some nice screenshots of aerc and the idea sounds really appealing, but I’ve never had any contact with terminal email programs and found out they’ve followed a completely different evolutionary path than GUI apps (even terminology has diverged between the two) – GUI apps keep trying to be an all-in-one (email, contacts, calendar, tasks, …) whereas terminal programs almost seem to to favor a “balkanization” of effort – aerc looks like it’s grabbed a middle-ground, you can run it as standalone or go all in with a fully customized setup – problem I’m running into is I can find lots of “how” guides, but very little in the “what” or “why” side of things …

hopefully we’ve already switched to a perennial calendar (preferably something like an ISO week date calendar (a variation of a leap week calendar)) by that point which would make things a lot easier to adapt to a new situation …

Best practices for organizing personal git repositories in /home folder?
There’s a lot of detailed information if you’re dealing with running a git server (/srv/git) or dealing with development (follow your company’s policies), reams of information about how to organize files inside a repository, and some apps will handle their own repository location (chezmoi), but not much about just keeping your personal git repositories organized without cluttering up your home folder:
- a lot of Youtube videos are just grabbing a couple files so end up cloning into ~/Downloads and cleaning up later
- GitHub and GitLab tutorials just mention clone into the folder of your choice
- Codeberg’s “Your First Repository” has you cloning into ~/repositories
- so, what have you found to be the cleanest/simplest/most comfortable?
- “top-level” folder like ~/repositories or ~/repos ?
- move down a level like ~/Documents/repos ?
- (make use of an unused XDG folder like ~/Public ? (doesn’t seem likely))
- something else that everyone adopted ages ago ?
slowly putting together a new system – I didn’t plan on it being a lightweight system, it’s just kinda ended up that way (and probably won’t be by the time I finish) – actually finding it kinda fun building up piece-by-piece

> Media coverage largely sucked > > When I just looked at my phone, the headlines were about an unfolding Microsoft global IT outage. My first thought, ransomware.

Inflating his own grand persona is Trump’s sole goal, and he doesn’t care whether or not you believe him.
> Bullshitters, as philosopher Harry Frankfurt wrote in his 1986 essay “On Bullshit,” don’t care whether what they are saying is factually correct or not. Instead, bullshit is characterized by a “lack of connection to a concern with truth [and] indifference to how things really are.” Frankfurt explains that a bullshitter “does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
