Masto / Fedi Advice please!
On Desktop Mastodon's 'home' tab there is an overwhelming amount of general World information-too much somedays.
The 'Live This server' tab has only my local stuff-too little somedays.
The 'Live Other servers' tab is back to too much and seemingly a random selection.
Is there an easy way to have a feed which shows info from selected servers? eg my home one, my parent's local one and beige.party because that's reliably amusing?
Dear #retrocomputing #lazyweb
I'm in need of a stand-alone Hayes software modem emulator that I can hook up to a virtual com port with qemu. A pipe, perhaps?
The emulator should let me forward a static number to a particular host:port, or just all numbers to a host:port. Kind of like what dosbox has built in.
It has to be able to take an atdt<digits> and ideally do something reasonable for the various ati commands and such.
Please tell me I don't have to write one myself. 😅

Hey #lazyweb, I need a new free #android keyboard app since #Fossify thinks I want the "current language" on my spacebar, but it is in fact a mental text injection attack every 3 or 4 words and I can't live with it.
Must be:
offline, fast
emoji capable
able to turn off completion and spellcheck
Bonus if it's on #fdroid or aurora
many years ago (before its acquisition), I was a big fan of #LastFM. To this day it was the best music recommendation system I ever used. Deezer's (and I hear Spotify's), doesn't come anywhere close.
I would like to find something to fill that void - to help me find artists that I would otherwise not, based on what I listen to.
What is a good option these days?
Dear #lazyweb friends, this creature showed up in our Foodsharing haul today - what the heck is it?
My partner calls it "Cthulhu-lemon" and says it's a sign for impending doom, but maybe there are more practical applications.
Like putting it in a salad or something..?

Psst! Go into Settings > Appearance > Menu > Menu Customization > Web Page and move the commands around to fit your workflow. 😉

So, curl doesn’t integrate with libsecret in any way? I assume that since there’s no discussion on the main mailing list of in the GitHub issues for it that I’m somehow being dumb thinking I want it.
If the service that I’m authenticating to uses basic auth, and I don’t want to store my passwords in a .netrc in my HOME or pass it in clear on the command-line, what are my best options?

Midi questions:
Midi is a serial connection and there exists a standard for sending it over TRS.
1. Do any phones support sending MIDI over the headphone jack or via a standard USB C to Headphone adaptor?
2. I assume midi over Bluetooth or midi over WiFi have some sort of documentation?
3. Is there an android app that will send midi in real time over the headphone jack or over Bluetooth or over WiFi (that I could use to play a busking organ)?
4. Can a phone with USB C be a usb host for a midi device, like can I plug my phone into a drum machine and output note-ons?

Hey, #lazyweb, what does it mean if I can VNC into my #raspberrypi from my laptop but not from my desktop (tried three viewers)? I've triple-checked the address and the port.
Edit: the laptop and desktop are both running Debian Trixie, fully updated, and the Pi is running RPOs, also fully updated.
This has modern #linux problem been annoying me for so long...
Under a Wayland session in #Ubuntu 24.04 my keyboard is en-US but under X11 its en-GB (which is correct)
I have searched, even asked Gemini and done everything (including XKB, XBB, gsettings etc ) but can not find a solution to set my Wayland session en-GB as default or even change it once logged in.
Its deeply annoying, any help or pointers would be great
Do I (or you!) know someone who has experience (or ability) working with Pagefind https://pagefind.app to implement search for an @11ty based website who also happens to be available for hire?
I need someone who can use the search API to create a custom implementation with custom HTML markup, not just set up the default Pagefind behavior (which I can do already).
Thank you! #lazyWeb
