The elementary dev is very cool, but I just personally don’t love the macos like window management :/

Yep definitely still interested! Sorry, was away from my computer for a few days and didn’t see I had messages on here

I ran a heavily modified version of The Screaming on the Alexis which went very well and then we played through another bug hunt

Woah sweet! I’ve run mothership a handful of times this year for some friends and we had a blast, but I’d love to get to be a player. Saturday would probably be the best day for me.

Well if you haven’t already you should checkout pico8. It’s a console that never really existed with an emulator where people make all sorts of cool games for it. Celeste was originally written for it: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=11722

Aww thanks! Kinda funny that it’s like my most actually meaningful programming project. I should really get around to making spoilers work properly…

Pretty big fan of caddy for your actual web server / proxy. Nice clean and readable configs (far nicer than nginx or apache imo). Also it’ll fetch your certificates automatically so you don’t need to faff about with certbot. Seconding what hello_hello said about making a static site with hugo or similar. It’ll be much faster and zero maintenance once you’ve made the site, but a bit more effort to develop. There’s a good collection of themes if you’re not interested in learning css+html, but it’s not that hard either. Happy to point to some good resources.

1gb of ram is far more than you need for a static site. For wordpress it’ll be probably “enough”, but you can always allocate a swap file if it becomes a problem https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap#Swap_file_creation

Feel free to dm me questions

tbh I’m quite surprised 20 percent of CNN’s audience wants Iran to have nukes

Damn yea tricky, looks like mainline linux patches only landed a few months ago so it’ll probably be a while until there’s actually good distro support.

it doesn’t exist yet for Snapdragon

What laptop is it? Linux works great on ARM chips, such as basically all android phones, tablets, etc. There’s a number of distros like postmarket which are designed for arm phones and laptops.

It’s very possible you’re right and there’s no port yet, but you might be surprised. Most of the popular distros are only really designed for x86.

Been using antenna pod for years and since it’s open source I don’t have to worry about it getting bought out or whatever

Just bought a replacement part for my camera. Literally the only place you can still get them and a wonder you can.

Exactly, for anyone who’s interested:

Qwant = Bing
Ecosia = Google + Bing
Startpage = Google / Bing
Swisscow = Bing
metaGer = Bing
DuckDuckGo = combination of Yahoo, Google, Bing, and a tiny bit of their own indexing
Brave Search = mostly their own index, but a tiny bit of Bing

Yahoo = used to have their own indexer, but mostly Bing since 2009ish

There are only a few independent indexers, most notably Yandex, but also some tiny projects like vyntr, marginalia, wiby, and other small ones which only index a small fraction of the web.

johnz makes some relaxing and chill videos about hiking and sewing your own gear

What a silly article.

It’s not tooo bad if you have to edit them manually for some reason:

but using a gui tool like alacarte or menulibre might be easier

I mean if you were gonna retire this year anyway isn’t it just free money?

Also kinda funny is the NYT reaction to this in 1920 https://www.nytimes.com/1921/12/01/archives/lenin-expects-us-to-fight-japan-he-was-surprised-britain-and.html

“LENIN EXPECTS US TO FIGHT JAPAN” I’m not paying those bastards to read the rest of their garbage article, but it’s a pretty funny headline.

Yea I’ve spent a lot of time developing stuff in the gemini community back in 2021 and 2022. Most of the sites I like to read are at least semi-technical or art related, but yea it’s a nice cozy loose community of sorts I guess. Pretty much everyone is at least sorta leftist which is nice. Here’s a few random sites you might find interesting to browse:

• https://100r.co/site/home.html
• https://eli.li/
• https://cadence.moe/blog
• https://sloum.colorfield.space/
• https://www.paritybit.ca/
• https://idiomdrottning.org/

or if you happen to be interested in tabletop rpgs

• https://www.prismaticwasteland.com/
• https://www.mindstormpress.com/

One of the ways these communities actually form or stay together at all is via “web rings” which literally just means a bunch of people join a list of similar sites and then on their site somewhere they link to the list and or to other sites on the list. For example: https://webring.xxiivv.com/#random

You can also find search engines and pages that attempt to categorize lots of these sites. Here’s two search engines:

https://searchmysite.net/

Sites need to be manually submitted (and I think approved) to be added to the search index. For example a search of “plan9” will show articles written about the novel plan9 operating system which tend to be a lot more interesting and passionate than if you searched that on google or whatever. However, you can’t really use is to like figure out your local bank’s hours.

https://marginalia-search.com/

This is another interesting search engine, but it takes a different approach. Instead this one indexes most of the internet, including wikipedia and so forth, but highly prioritizes results that tend to be more “hand-made” rather than corporate.
