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

  • 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.

  • Bought a retro handheld, got any indie games recommendations?

  • 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

  • Programs/Settings I should change to minimize data scraping on Windows 11?

  • 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.

  • Fucked my spotify algorithm by falling asleep and it autoplayed joe rogan. Seems like a great excuse to finally stop using it altogether. What's your podcast setup like?

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

  • Anyone here heard of the "indie web"?

    Jump

  • 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:

    or if you happen to be interested in tabletop rpgs

    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.
