2020-12-23T23:19:51Z	Hello World!
2020-12-24T03:45:43Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<oco5sjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=oco5sjq>) would be a nice little feature! :D
2020-12-24T03:46:19Z	(#<eolmybq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=eolmybq>) Glad to be here!
2020-12-24T15:59:58Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>  This is why I started Console.  What a great way to end the year!

2020-12-24T16:00:34Z	(#<drtpd6q https://twtxt.net/search?tag=drtpd6q>) You can check the newsletter out [here](https://console.substack.com/)
2020-12-25T16:34:54Z	(#<drtpd6q https://twtxt.net/search?tag=drtpd6q>) ha ha, yeah, I wanted to fix it, but it was a bit of work given it was a screenshot.
2020-12-26T03:04:25Z	(#<drtpd6q https://twtxt.net/search?tag=drtpd6q>) I think it gives it character, it adds to the excitement of the email :)
2020-12-27T17:15:06Z	(#<ebildhq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ebildhq>) would've taken me even longer lol
2020-12-27T17:20:26Z	(#<lspgzzq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=lspgzzq>) Hey! I don't usually accept submissions, but I'll take a look!
2020-12-27T20:02:46Z	Console 33 went out! yes, I worked on it over the holidays lol.  I can't help myself.  You can check it out here:

https://console.substack.com/p/console-33
2020-12-27T20:03:38Z	(#<lspgzzq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=lspgzzq>) got it! sure! will do. Thanks!
2020-12-28T02:21:20Z	(#<cq2sxwa https://twtxt.net/search?tag=cq2sxwa>) Awesome! :D
2021-01-03T22:14:57Z	Console just went out!  There is also a brand new Discord server, but it looks like the invite codes already got used up.  There will be more next week.

https://console.substack.com/p/console-34
2021-01-08T16:46:44Z	(#<akqtela https://twtxt.net/search?tag=akqtela>) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Thanks!

Yeah, I thought that viewpoint was a bit extreme, but I'd never used Vagrant before.  I try not to push back too heavily on people during the interviews because I don't want the newsletter to get a reputation for being divisive, for fear of people avoiding being interviewed.  Usually I would have asked some questions such that Marc would have qualified his statement a bit, but again, since I wasn't familiar with Vagrant I had to let it be.

You should have brought this up in the Discord server!  This is exactly the case I created it for.
2021-01-10T22:49:16Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<akqtela https://twtxt.net/search?tag=akqtela>) thank you!  Yes neutral is important! 

Fun fact, the newsletter started as a typical Ben Thompson style thing, then I thought "no one cares what you have to say, just focus on providing something you'd be interested in", and Console was born! so I specifically try to pack as much value as I can into the emails and keep my opinions out of it.
2021-01-10T22:50:12Z	Console 35!

https://console.substack.com/p/console-35

I have to say TabFS is up there as one of the most interesting projects I've put in the newsletter so far.  Highly recommend you check it out!
2021-01-11T03:58:05Z	(#<5dogfsq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=5dogfsq>) @<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> I tried to get Omar to answer some questions about security, because I have similar concerns, but, he didn't answer them.  Ah well, can't win them all.
2021-01-11T19:44:25Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<ipzjchq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ipzjchq>) It's actually open source, you can go check the code and read about the project in their own words :)

2021-01-12T03:09:30Z	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<ipzjchq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ipzjchq>) There are ~2,800 subscribers (it seems to go up by around 20-30 per day since I started) and around ~20K views per month on the posts, but that also seems to be going up every month as well.
2021-01-12T16:18:29Z	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<ipzjchq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ipzjchq>) I started in September of last year.  Yeah, so far it's been good, and more importantly, extremely fun!  I wouldn't have met either of you without it :)
2021-01-12T16:36:32Z	(#<2p6oqyq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=2p6oqyq>) lol would you have ever thought you'd see a headline like that in your lifetime?
2021-01-12T17:20:24Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<ipzjchq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ipzjchq>) And you as well!
2021-01-12T22:20:51Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<2p6oqyq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=2p6oqyq>) well...I can safely say I've seen it all now.  That's enough internet for today... LOL
2021-01-13T02:55:00Z	(#<2p6oqyq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=2p6oqyq>) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> ha ha! too good.  Although, Australia's Covid response has been substantially better than ours in the U.S. so, hats off for that.
2021-01-15T16:02:49Z	(#<lovfxga https://twtxt.net/search?tag=lovfxga>) @<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> It's a sponsorship, but I suspect he's trying the newsletter out to potentially include it as an "Ethical Ad" in the future.
2021-01-16T19:47:02Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<edx3ewa https://twtxt.net/search?tag=edx3ewa>) Awesome!
2021-01-16T19:48:33Z	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<lovfxga https://twtxt.net/search?tag=lovfxga>) You mean a sponsor for your project, or a sponsorship in Console?
2021-01-17T16:27:47Z	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<lovfxga https://twtxt.net/search?tag=lovfxga>) You could certainly reach out to Eric (the founder of ethical ads) and see if there's any interested there!
2021-01-17T16:30:39Z	Console 36 hot off the press!

https://console.substack.com/p/console-36
2021-01-24T16:49:51Z	It's that time of the week again! Console time 😉! curl up with a nice hot cup of coffee and check out some of the cool things being open-sourced this week

https://console.substack.com/p/console-37
2021-02-01T16:15:10Z	This week's Console edition is a bit different from the previous.  I ended up interviewing 3 of the Berty developers at once! 

https://console.substack.com/p/console-38
2021-02-07T17:02:07Z	In Console 39 we got a look into what the process for maintaining various Unix ports is like by interviewing a long-time maintainer of the doas port!

https://console.substack.com/p/console-39
2021-02-14T17:35:26Z	Console 40 out! You can read the email you would have gotten here👇
