    Other than loving Tabac, I’m using this time to skill up on using hard soaps. This morning was a nice three-pass shave with BBS result.

    Have a great Thursday!

    I thought my face was healed from yesterday’s rough shave, but I felt myself having to take it easy today even with a better razor. Still, a much better shave than yesterday. Just ignore that little thing on my cheek.

    I’ve been working on something for the new chat ( https://chat.wetshav.ing/ ) which will soon automatically grab the latest top-level comment in a SOTD post on Lemmy and post it in the SOTD thread on the Zulip chat. Some of you may be familiar with the $discord tag to go from Reddit --> Discord, but since we have fewer users here and on Zulip, plus the fact that Zulip is open source and hosted by me on our server, I figured people wouldn’t mind.

    Of course, if you do mind, and don’t want your SOTDs cross-posted automatically, please let me know and I’ll come up with a way to exclude your username.

    Just to clarify, this feature is not yet fully automated, but will be soon assuming I can finish up the final touches.

    In other Zulip news, I think together with @snooting@wetshav.ing and @bosshoggins10@sub.wetshaving.social we’ve sort of worked out the quirks of Zulip and made it as simple as possible, with decent default settings for new users, and as similar to Discord as possible to make it feel “at home” if we ever need to switch over.
