@llimllib Looks good!
@llimllib I guess "//" as a repeatable key is better than nothing! But it's still a pretty awkward way to annotate config files.
It's interesting that in the thread you link, some people have quite the opposite view to mine, that documentation as comments in config is a "code smell". (I've learned over the years that my preferences are very odiferous. I love many smells.) 1/
@llimllib I like "HOCON" format which is or at least can be JSON extended with comments and a few bells and whistles. It'd be nice (from my smelly perspective) if nodeland would adopt it or something like it.

a thing i dislike about nodeworld is that config files are so often plain JSON, so they can have no comments and they are woefully without the hints, tips, and tricks that help people get tetchy new configs they encounter right.
documenting these things inline is infinitely more effective both for the reader and writer than doing so elsewhere in some manual.

Does anyone know of a mobile podcasts app that would *subscribe to* (not just import) OPML feeds?
I'd like to manage my subscriptions in an RSS reader (inoreader) which will publish folder contents as OPML. I'd like a podcast app that automatically picks those up, without my having to download and reimport the OPML all the time.

@DetroitDan indeed. which is why a kind of liberalism, live and let live, agree to disagree, is the only solution.
but the problem facing more illiberal states is, what if national boundaries can't adequately capture the human communities across which, absent some form of live-and-let-live within, would require oppression, exclusion, exile, or extermination for an empowered group to impose what it considers its civilization. does civilizational coherence justify exclusion or worse?

a reason i decided to make a “tech notebook” was so ppl encountering problems i’ve encountered might find hints without relying on centralized platforms like stack exchange (which tbf has been among the better centralized platforms).
i’d like a world where everyone documents explorations in their own spaces, from which we all can learn.
but the search engines now suppress our own spaces, unless they get links from ever fewer prestige sites.
so what’s the point?
i for one would have a great deal of sympathy towards people assigned cop at birth, whatever identity they eventually embrace.

@LouisIngenthron (I'm basically trying to stop hosting meetings via zoom and replace it with something I can get underneath of and experiment with.)
