Is there an option hidden somewhere in git log / ref-log / mailmap which would support colorizing output lines differently depending on whether a author/committer matches some pattern (eg Mine vs Another Maintainer vs Unknown Contributor)?
I know I could post-process the output of git log or use other plumbing tools, but I'd rather not if something is built-in.

Hello #AskFedi, I have an old HTC phone that I want to give to my mum and I would like to install a Google-free Android on it. However, it doesn't seem to be a device that is supported by i.e. /e/OS or Sailfish. Does that mean I best forget it or are there other ways to fit this particular phone with a Google-free OS?

Which item of everyday life has generally improved compared to when you were younger?
For example: I find scissors in general have gotten a lot better. ✂️

#AskFedi #DuckDuckFedi anyone know a domain registrar that:
1. isn't run by assholes
2. doesn't engage with "ai" (and, if possible, actively opposes it)
...the cheaper the better! please boost!

Linux folks, question:
I setup a common directory under `/home` (`/home/common`) with `root:common` ownership and 775 permissions. I'd like the group to be set automatically to `common` whether I write the file or someone else does, so I think using `chmod -R 2775` would achieve that. Is there a way I can similarly automatically set the ownership to `root`? Or do I manually have to do that each time I add new files/directories?

What are we using to package up Python application & dependencies into a single distributable file now?
I'm thinking of bundlers like RollupJS.
PEX? Zipapp? Docker image? Trying really dang hard to only use stdlib and shipping a boring wheel?

I have an Olympia P22 thermal printer, which is *perfect* for my extremely limited needs, except it requires using an app to print the labels.
Does anybody have an idea of how I could control it via PC (ideally a simple linux driver) so I can use it to print labels straight from my own (Django-based) app?

Whilst retagging 600 books in my library application, I noticed basically all recent Science Fiction I read is in some way dystopian. Does anyone have recommendations for not-dystopian science fiction?

#AskFedi I just plugged in some audio stuff to a computer I got at a yard sale. the dipshit who owned it previously set it up wrong, and they had the audio header plugged into the “intel HD audio bridge” header, which I only found out AFTER it fried the motherboard. it’s an intel DX58SO, does anyone know what part specifically is broken and how to get it going again?

Did "vibe coding" used to mean something else, before the prevalence of stochastic bullshit machine emitting code-shaped text vomit? I have a vague memory of it involving /fun/ before 2024.

Does anybody have a suggestion for a nice "experience" somewhere around the Brenner/Bayern or southern BaWU/Lake Constance?
I'm driving through there with the kids and we're gonna need to stop for the night, and I'd like to do something like fossil/rock hounding, or visiting a nice place or anything that won't cause the 9yos to say "this is boring" and go back to listening to audiobooks.

Chat, can you recommend to me thoughtful, well-researched books about #GamerGate ? Maybe published a little after it happened so that the author has a chance to summarise and reflect?
Note - my sympathies are with the women & other victims, I do not need to need to read about how the perpetrators still believe their behaviour was justified. I can simply open Steam comments for that POV, tyvm!
Boosts welcome #AskFedi

Knuffeliger Knuffeligel. 😅
Hier wohnen jetzt offenbar mindestens zwei Igel im Garten. Wir haben sie jetzt mehrere Abende in Folge gesehen.
Die wirken recht klein, sicher nicht länger als 15 cm. Sind das Jungtiere aus dem letzten Jahr?
Und sollte man die, abgesehen von Wasser anbieten, noch anders unterstützen?

Sometimes when I'm taking a long train ride, I'm actually consisting listening to music. I probably won't do that anyway, because I'm already carrying too much stuff and headphones would be a bother, but if I did, I should…

I was talking about relatively new pixel art games, like Shredder's Revenge, Marvel's Cosmic Invasion, Arrest of a Stone Buddha... you know if you know, there are lots of them.
I'm not in the loop, so I call them neopixel games, but what's the proper name?
Please and thank you.

So with all those Wildberries warehouses being taken out by a single dronestrike, and then completely burning down, one has to ask. How is firesafety arranged in large warehouses? Is there compartimentalisation? How is this done in other large warehouses outside of Russia?
