- I was looking through the Minetest forums today when I found something interesting in a post by 4aiman.
- Though the subgame he is posting about is proprietary, and therefor of no interest whatsoever, he has run into the same problem as I have as far as non-<abbr title="American Standard Code for Information Interchange">ASCII</abbr> characters not displaying properly in Minetest.
- It turns out that there is a workaround! He suggests using the <code>locale-gen</code> command to set up a second locale, then selling the system to tell Minetest that that is the locale in use.
- My system appears to lack the <code>locale-gen</code> command though, so I looked up <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Locale">Debian-specific instructions</a>.
- The down side to the instructions I found is that they set the locale system-wide.
- Furthermore, the effect does not seem to be reversible; I cannot set my locale back to its original state.
- The problem is that I had chosen to use no localization, and it seems that as long as the system has a locale set up, it will not take "no localization" as an answer.
- Oh well.
- At least now I can see properly-accented Esperanto node names in Minetest.

- Yesterday, when I bought that album from Marc With a C, I made the dire mistake of not checking the license beforehand.
- While I've never seen any of Marc distribute any of his work in a nonfree way, the fact is, he could, and I should be careful.
- Even some artists that seem dedicated to freedom, such as Josh Woodward and Brad sucks, have released some of their work under proprietary licenses.
- As it turns out, Exactly Where I Am is not under his usual <abbr title="Creative Commons Attribution">CC BY</abbr> license.
- However, it <strong>*is*</strong> under the <abbr title="Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike">CC BY-SA</abbr> license, a license I actually prefer, so it all works out this time.
- I should remember to be more careful in the future.

- <p>
- My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
