[tildeteam] migration round 3 (or is this 4 now?)

by Ben Harris

hey ~teammates! i'm planning on moving tilde.team to its new home next weekend (tentatively planned for saturday night). i've ordered a new server from ovh (in their canada datacenter). i got it 25% off and it has roughly similar specs to the machine we've been running on for a while now. the main bonus i get on this new machine is the 16 IPs that are included for no additional cost. ~team will live in a VM with 32gb ram, 6 vCPUs, and 1tb disk. the migration itself isn't a huge deal, but the dns changes required will be the hard part here. i'll be working this week to come up with a neat solution to be able to throw the switch all at once. feel free to holler here if you have any concerns or suggestions. if you want to see how the ping will change, you can check against 51.79.32.48 (the new ip). thanks, ~ben

[tildeteam] Re: [institute] Poll about mail agent.

> I would like to know what people use for handling email, as I've been > using mutt for so long I don't really know what other folks do. It depends on my platform. On my daily driver (currenly Debian Stable; slated to become FreeBSD in the near future), I tend to use Claws mail but have been (sloooowly) transitioning over to mutt/neomutt. For most of the other boxes that I manage, it's either mutt/neomutt for anything that requires real mail management, or mail(1) for those where I just need to read system messages and delete them without replying. Here on tilde, I've given myself the challenge of using only mail(1) as my mail interface (including to compose this) and ed(1) as my $EDITOR. It's been a great way to sharpen those skills. > That way I'll have an idea of what config examples to include on > the docs or that perhaps there's no interest at all in this and I can > use my time on other stuff ... I'll grant I'm a bit of an outlier with mail(1), but the other two are pretty common based on the other replies I've seen here. -tim

Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows, my dude - however, I honestly don't know how to encrypt emails using PGP or GPG - documentation would be great in this area, but i feel i'm gonna get a reply from ben directly, saying "rtfm" lol. > Have a nice day ! You too, Paco! :) Thanks, Brendan Webb | ~brendantcc (i accidentally sent this directly to Paco originally, my bad!)

[tildeteam] Re: [institute] Poll about mail agent.

by rdh＠tilde.institute

For my every day mail, I use K9 and Claws. For tilde maile, I just use mail(1). If a mail client requires much more configuration than putting in my address, server, and password, I'll pretty much check out. I don't care about every single option, I just need something to barf text onto my screen. That said, I'll still read your gpg documentation. =) ~rdh

[tildeteam] Opinions regarding data visualization with ncurses

by txusinho＠tilde.team

Hi all, First of all, this is Txus Ordorika (aka txusinho). It's great to be part of this community. I'm starting a personal project that involves several arduino boards that measure temperature and humidity, and a central device to diplay the data. The main device is an orange pi plus 2[1] with a 1024*600, 7 inch capacitive display attached [2]. For the joy of programming, I was thinking of creating a ncurses app to display (between others) some charts, including measured temperatures with the official data captured by the spanish meteorologic agency. The goal is to have 2 lines displayed at the same time, and see the difference between them. I'd like your opinions on the use of ncurses for displaying data in such display. One of the goals of this project is to use as less energy as possible, and be as efficient as possible. Programing in asm is not an option right now. Currently I've the xterm configured to have the font at a size of 20. You can see the screen as it is now in the second link. If you need more info, or whatever feel free to ask. Thanks for your time and feedback :) -Txus [1] http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus_2 [2] https://ttm.sh/BS.jpg
