Noticed someone in tilde.town chat mention FreedomBox a few days ago, but I was too sleepy to get involved in the conversation. I'm really interested in that project. So I'd love to be in touch with other towners using it. Haven't started yet, but I'm just about to! Please get in touch―maybe we could form a Special Interest Group or somethin' :)
Edit: I'm curious about running it on retired phones and tablets, too―that could be an environmentally decent way to keep them useful. If only manufacturers weren't opposed to a good sloppy root. Seriously, considering the state of the planet, it should be mandatory for manufacturers to allow old hardware to be re-purposed.
Raven McRavenous has eaten five planets plus crumbs (most likely Alderaan) since we last spoke.
My first seedling has hatched!

I have added this to my .bashrc file to help me edit existing blog posts in an OCD-type fashion without screwing up the timestamps for ttbp. So far, so good.
fedit ()
{
# --- experimental, unsure if potentially problematic ---
local TTBP=$HOME/.ttbp/entries
local BLOG=$HOME/src/blog
if [ "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "--help" ]; then
echo -e "\nUsage: fedit [$TTBP/ENTRY.txt]\n\n" \
" Edit an existing feels entry, preserving its timestamp.\n" \
" If no entry specified, assumes the most recent.\n"
return
fi
entry=$1
[ -z "$entry" ] && entry=$(ls "$TTBP"/* | sort -r | head --lines 1)
[ -f "$entry" ] || return
timestamp=$(stat --format '%y' "$entry")
${EDITOR:-nano} "$entry" && \
touch --date "$timestamp" "$entry" && cd "$BLOG" && ./build.sh && cd -
