#TIL bagels came to exist due to Polish antisemitism. Jews were forbidden from touching and baking bread.

The fact comes from none other than @neilhimself.

#til, #punk belongs on this list as well.

I've refrained from claiming the roots of all "#popular" music (the extremely broad #genre, not specifically every #music style people like) is the music of #Black people, but I'll do so no longer.

"...#SexPistols, AKA: History's first #BoyBand" 🫢😂👍🏿

And I was literally thinking last night that #LedZeppelin is mostly a #CoverBand, and was gratified with the same assessment made here.

I'm afraid I've not much to say about Jimmy Buffet nor do I have some cool obscure story about him to share with you all.

However, I did find out today that Philip Glass is related to Al Jolson.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/jumah-mosque
Ap. 10 % of Georgia’s population is #Muslim, and until 1951 there were 2 mosques in Tbilisi. Then the Blue Mosque was demolished by the Communist government. Seeing that the Shia community had nowhere to go, Jumah Mosque opened its doors to them, making it one of the only mosques in the world where the two sects worship together. Until 1996, a black curtain was used to divide the mosque between Sunnis and Shiites during prayer, but today, the two pray side by side.

TIL `AddKeysToAgent yes` option in `~/.ssh/config` client-side file.

I used to run `ssh-add` time to time when using my desktop before `ssh`-ing into typical hosts.

Recently I started more actively rotating my SSH keys and started creating more fine-grained per-site SSH keys. It became harder to track which is which and which I need to load again :)

`AddKeysToAgent yes` removes the needed `ssh-add` bit in the connection workflow. Simple but so handy!

One mailing list article today forced me to find a way to skim through all the thread.

`A T` (`gnus-summary-refer-thread`) fetches all articles in the current thread.

`M-s M-s` (`gnus-summary-search-article-forward`) performs a regexp search forward.
Use `M-s M-r` for backward search.
The search is done once after hitting `RET`. To repeat it, use `M-S` (forward) or `M-R` (backward).

#TIL #Emacs

The linked #EmacsSE answer provides two insights.

1.
"`use-package` is essentially a fancy wrapper for `require`."

2.
Place cursor after the expression and call `M-x pp-macroexpand-expression` to see its expanded form.

Speaking of the Seven Wonders.

The wonders co-existed less than 60 years!

When this list formed around 100-200 BC, the pyramids were as old to them, as the list itself is to us now. Some 2000 years in both directions!

The newest wonder, Colossus of Rhodes, had only been built a few decades before the list started to circulate, and by the time the list reached its current format of seven wonders, the statue was already in ruins for several decades more.
