 feels quiet today. 
 Sometimes no news are good news 😊 
 Do you use any Makefile alternatives?
If yes, what do you use and why? 
 Kinda both. I used GNU make for over a decade but was never really satisfied. 
 Looks promising, will have a closer look. Thanks for sharing! 
 Thinking about getting a Mac, but there‘s a big penguin in my mind telling me to stop 
 im productive. 
i get alot done.
but my weakness is 95%ism.
and it drives me absolutely, 
 I‘m more of a 120% guy and it isn‘t fun either 🥲 
 Looking at a list of the 513 publicly known, public relays.
Guess how many in the top 100 are in ... 
 There are quite a few countries I‘d consider worse in privacy than the US… But it‘s not good either.
For maximal privacy choose a server in Switzerland 🇨🇭 
 getting an older, but not too old, macbook to run current commandline applications is an exercise... 
 What‘s wrong with your MacBook?

Hope you all have an amazing day 
 Are there ways to buy #bitcoin  without KYC? 
 For the EU I don‘t think so.
And you‘d probably have to pay in cash to be completely anonymous. 
 My dog, every time 😂 
 Hans Zimmer’s music in Interstellar is so fucking good, my god… 
 It’s one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever created, imo 
 Any takes on #Bootstrap  vs #Foundation  vs #Tailwind  (does less), #Bulm  or #SemanticUI?  
In t... 
 I personally like Tailwind best.
It‘s rich but relatively easy to use, because it‘s utility class namings are pretty close to normal CSS.
It‘s super fast to build anything with.
With Bootstrap I had a few issues in the past, hacking on the theme to fit CI needs. In my experience it‘s more complicated and slower, than building from scratch.
Note to say, I‘m a backend developer and only work on this kind of stuff once in a while and I wouldn‘t consider my opinion correct, but very subjective. 
 It only builds the stuff you use 
 GM friends ☕️
After being gone for a while, I wish you all a great day 🤝🏻 
 Any suggestions on good authors using long format notes?

 GM and happy friyay everyone 🥳

or what are some ways... 
 +1 for ham radio.
When everything breaks down, radio will most likely still work. 
 Knowledge.
Once gained, no one can take away the stuff you learned. 
 „Don‘t worry, we‘ll decide for you what‘s right or wrong“ 
 Humanity has to realize that the game of life is meant to be played PvE, not PvP.
Treat people as your fellows, not opponents 🫂 
 Just my thoughts on my every day journey, striving for a world where all people can live a happy life ☀️ 
 What’s the final boss like? 😂 
 GM everyone, it's friday! 🎉
Hope you all have a good day 😊 
 Good morning frens ☕
Hope you all have a good day! 
 Back again, giving nostr another try.
Seems like a lot happened since the last time I stopped by. 
 It sure is. But I really like the concept of it and many of the features.
I'll most certainly never will use all it's feature, but it's great that they exist 😊
