Yesterday, Catalonia held a referendum on independence from Spain. There are arguments to be made that Spain has acted in a way incompatible with Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty in their violent reactions to this. Watching videos of the Guardia Civil (organised as a military force charged with police duties) was pretty horrifying, I would imagine being there was many times worse.
There has been plenty of coverage of the referendum but I wanted to talk about four things that maybe haven’t been covered so much, from cyberspace:
My Twitter activity has really picked up in the last couple of months. I’d love to have something more integrated with my desktop but so far the best Twitter client I’ve found is the Twitter website.
I sponsored the original inclusion of corebird into Debian’s package repsoitories. This is a great native client and Phillip Rinn does a great job maintaining it (I gave him Debian Maintainer privileges now to do uploads without my picking apart every upload).
My website and blog are managed by the static site generator Hugo. I’ve found this to be a stable and flexible system, but at the last upgrade a breaking change has occurred that broken the syndication of my blog on various planets.
At first I thought perhaps with my increased posting rate the planets were truncating my posts but this was not the case. The problem was in Hugo pull request #3129 where for some reason they have changed the RSS feed to contain only a “lead” instead of the full article.
