A million billion apologies to all of you who have @-ed me about Smog, and I didn't get back to you!
For some weird reason I didn't get any notifications here and I only saw them earlier when I clicked Notifications completely by mistake.
If you ever want to reach me and seem to ignore you here, my email is always open! Things that run in web browsers may lie and malfunction, but mutt doesn't!

Words I haven't uttered in 20 years: I started an e-zine.
No, no, really!

#introduction time!
About @littlejohn: programming, electronics and engineering enthusiast. Unix programmer and user since the late '90s/early 00s.
My "following" list is an eclectic mix of #pixelart, #retrocomputing, #unix, #foss, #security, #cryptography, #fpga, #history, #philosophy, #mythology, #chiptune, #gemini and #gopher enthusiasts. Yeah, I'm a curious person. Curiosity *allegedly* killed the cat but if it did, at least it didn't die stupid.

A Chinese Canadian restaurant in #Montreal has brutally honest descriptions of the food (and the chap running it helps migrants learn English and French in spare space in the building)

The sphinx sat still, elegant, poised. But when a pair of mice ran up to it, the cat part of it had to pounce.
"Wait, wait," they screamed, "we have a riddle for you!"
"Oh?"
"What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?"
"Too simple," said the sphinx, and ate them.

I write some stuff on my blog every now and then (and on my gemlog on the same domain). I dislike reminding people of my existence every time I post something, so I won't be peddling it for every post :) But here it is, in case someone's interested: https://warmedal.se/~bjorn/

I just paid for ProtonMail Plus. It's been a long time since I paid for any software service, but I think this'll be worth it. I probably should've done it a while ago.

Today, both CNN and Fox News labeled the white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Qanon conspiracy theorists and Trump supporters who marched into the capitol as "anarchists." Anarchists have been fighting fascism and white supremacy for centuries. Don't let these pundits re-write history.

Not about the politics:
I used to live in DC, while homeless, and there were frequent curfews due to political unrest.
This often led to homeless people who had nothing to do with the situation getting detained and harassed. This group is probably going to be doing a lot of work for the DC homeless community.
Please consider giving them some money. Thank you
