sorry guys, HeapOverflow is down right now, because freenom decided to disappear my domain registration...
I'll try and recover it or migrate to a more reliable TLD, but It'll take some time =/
This should also serve as a warning against using sketchy TLDs
Omega mart is a “gag item” store in las vegas, all of the products there are like this
Lemmy is way better than Mastodon for content discovery, which is one of the biggest reasons I wish that lemmy supported “self-posts”, i.e. posting to your own timeline.
being able to cross-post “mastodon-like content” directly on lemmy would really help content discovery, make attributions simpler, and make lemmy the undisputed champion of the fediverse!

Here are some of the things that you can do with Huginn:
- Track the weather and get an email when it’s going to rain (or snow) tomorrow (“Don’t forget your umbrella!”)
- List terms that you care about and receive email when their occurrence on Twitter changes. (For example, want to know when something interesting has happened in the world of Machine Learning? Huginn will watch the term “machine learning” on Twitter and tell you when there is a spike in discussion.)
- Watch for air travel or shopping deals
- Follow your project names on Twitter and get updates when people mention them
- Scrape websites and receive email when they change
- Connect to Adioso, HipChat, Growl, FTP, IMAP, Jabber, JIRA, MQTT, nextbus, Pushbullet, Pushover, RSS, Bash, Slack, StubHub, translation APIs, Twilio, Twitter, and Weibo, to name a few.
- Send digest email with things that you care about at specific times during the day
- Track counts of high frequency events and send an SMS within moments when they spike, such as the term “san francisco emergency”
- Send and receive WebHooks
- Run custom JavaScript or CoffeeScript functions
- Track your location over time
- Create Amazon Mechanical Turk workflows as the inputs, or outputs, of agents (the Amazon Turk Agent is called the “HumanTaskAgent”). For example: “Once a day, ask 5 people for a funny cat photo; send the results to 5 more people to be rated; send the top-rated photo to 5 people for a funny caption; send to 5 final people to rate for funniest caption; finally, post the best captioned photo on my blog.”

I'm working on adding highlighting to `code-blocks` on lemmy using [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/), and am wondering exactly how to implement it. There are many code-themes that could be used Regarding which theme to use there are basically two different directions I could go:
1. Each lemmy-theme would have to explicitly declare an hljs theme to use.
- PROS:
- easy to use, users automatically get an appropriate code-theme for every ui-theme.
- simple to implement (already done)
- CONS:
- theme-makers need to pick an appropriate theme
- no user customizability, limited number of themes
2. Users can pick their preferred theme just like they pick a UI theme.
- PROS:
- Extreme customization, there are a buttload of themes, and users can pick any one!
- CONS:
- Users would **need** to pick an appropriate theme. It would use the "browser-default" (light/dark) until they pick one, and could look weird and be confusing until then
- PITA to implement & requires back-end changes (wont see it for a while)
Let me know what you think, or if you have another solution.
I have solution #1 deployed on HeapOverflow.ml right now =]
