Yesterday bitmap bureau launched the Terminator 2D game:

It is a low resolution 2D sprite arcade game with side scrolling, the story follows the scenario of the terminator movies.

The gameplay is more complex than the games in the 90s, the atmosphere in the game is fun.

I played it in steam on my debian trixie machine.

I made a new release of the GTL Tinylog Reader/Editor: v1.2.0-fork. This release upgrades the dependencies to tcell/v3 and the cview branch with upgrades to tcell/v3 too. Since the release of v1.2.0-fork tslocum merged it's WIP on the "tcellv3" branch of codeberg.org/tslocum/cview into master, but there aren't any changes which need a rebuild of GTL. tslocum will make a tag release of the new version soon, so I can use the regular tag release for my releases instead of (now) master.

The new tcell/v3 version fixes some problems with modal windows (you couldn't go back in button selection with SHIFT/TAB, now this works again), and I also fixed a bug with ALT/Enter when the sidebar is focussed.

So please use the new version and report bugs on the issue tracker, write an email or post on your tinylog. Thanks alot.

The Cherry KC 4500 Ergo keyboard arrived today. It seems to be a good keyboard. The key travel is good and the keys are easy to press. I still have to get used a little to my first ergonomic keyboard but I believe that won't take a long time. I think its a good keyboard, although the pound sign ("#") with the single quote under it and the "<", ">" and "|" keys are a little small (which I need often for programming). But all in all it's a good buy I think. Lets see how it turns out in the long run. But at first use I'm happy with it.

BTW: did you look at Cherry KC 4500 Ergo? It's 50 Euro, has the "notebook style" Fn key squeezed between Left Ctrl and Alt, but other than that it looks normal.

That's a real coincidence: The Cherry KC 4500 Ergo was the keyboard I ordered the same day (Saturday), when the other keyboard arrived :). I got it for around ~44 EUR with free shipping. I also looked closely at the keyboard and it seems to have a normal keylayout. It should arrive on Thursday or Friday.

*EDIT*: I received the "Logitech" keyboard yesterday, not Saturday. Sorry.

To be honest I never looked closely at this particular model, but -- after seeing some pictures online I am aghast and perplexed (and sharing your dismay) :/-- what did they exactly achieve by going full gonzo on the layout? It's a big ass, 100% size keyboard -- not that cramming all the keys together saved much "desk estate"...

Not what I would expect from an otherwise solid brand.

The "Logitech ERGO K860" arrived today and it's pure crap! The "Windows/ALT"" and "Windows/ALT gr" and some other keys are layed together and are only reachable through a big fat function key. It would have been easy to make this function key smaller (for functions like brightness control and loudness under the "F" keys) and make Windows key separate with the "ALT" and "ALT gr" key. It's impossible to press "Windows" and "ALT" together, which I often need for my AwesomeWM setup.

Goes back unused!

I don't know your special needs concerning a mailserver, but have you ever considered the "mox" Email Suite? It's one little self contained binary available for Linux, the *BSDs and even Darwin. I'm not sure but there maybe also a version for windows. It contains everything a mailserver needs, even an IMAPs server. It's easy to update. If a new update is available its simply stopping the mailserver, replacing the binary and restart. Have a look:

Today I already upgraded my mail server and my Gemini/Gopher/Finger/SmolWeb server from FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE to FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE, which was released today.

I had some problems to get my finger server script running and completely replaced the entry in the inetd.conf from running the fingerserver, which was configured to run my own script, to just run my script directly, because the fingerserver didn't terminate the connection after someone fingered the server. Now with only my script running, this problem is gone and it works as expected. There seem to be some changes in the /usr/libexec/fingerd binary which prevented the termination of the connection after running the script. I hope I didn't open any security holes :). However, now it works as it should.

FreeBSD is simply great!

I've just ordered a "Logitech ERGO K860" wireless ergonomic keyboard. I've looked at the Microsoft Sculpt, but it's a bit pricey, with over 220 EUR and it was sold out. The Logitech goes by around 88 EUR. I'll try it out. If it's shit, I send it back. I've read the (only the bad) critiques but there seem to be not too many problems with this keyboard.

I have to say, it's very difficult to find a good keyboard at Amazon (or anything at all with all this enshittification). They always want to sell cheap NoName Keyboards with made up company names. And I always got keyboards with the wrong layout shown, although I specified "deutsch" (german) and "qwertz" in the search bar.

Eff Amazon!

I'll post about my experiences with this keyboard.

No worries, we're on the 'slow internet' ;) I see my tinylog more as a place of posting unsolicited opinions than a communication platform.

Thanks for your patience! :)

Well, as I'm already at it: you might look into 'tenless' (or 'semi-tenless' keyboards with detached number block) and split keyboards. Many people complain the angle between two halves isn't fitting their needs -- with a split keyboard the problem disappears completely. A potential drawback is either the cable connecting the two halves or (in some cases) having two Bluetooth devices paired... But I didn't see anyone really despising that part ;)

I'm not sure if I can get used to a split keyboard, I really have to test these out, before buying one. I don't mind a cable between the two parts but they seem so 'strange' to me. A 'tenless' keyboard on the other hand wouldn't be such a problem, although I always use their PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN keys, but I think I would get used to a 'tenless' very quickly.

If possible -- try to put your hands on a real, physical one at a brick-and-mortar store before buying.

Yes that would be best, but in the part of Germany I'm living in it's difficult to find a store which sells computer parts. They're all victims of the Amazon Monster. So I think I have to buy there too, being careful not to buy some of the crap they want to put down my throat.

I'm partial to Microsoft keyboards (a definitely personal preference -- I am on my second (in 10 years) Sculpt, and I had Ergonomic before. That's pretty much the only M$ product I used voluntarily since 2000s.

Evoluent Goldtouch looks 'legit', and -- based on their left-handed vertical mouse's quality -- I'm sure it's solid. There's of course the Kinesis, but you'll pay through your nose to get one... But then -- it's an investment everyone has to consideer for themselves -- I'm a cheap bastard ;)

I'll definitely take your advice into consideration. I don't mind if the keyboard is a microsoft product (I already buy at Amazon, which I'm also not proud of). And I believe I can send them back if I really can't deal with it. And I'm at a point at which I don't mind to pay some more money. But the keyboard definitely has to be convenient.

Logitech is another brand with good keyboards, but their ergonomic keyboards are not my thing -- I have no idea what doesn't match my expectations, but something feels off when I try to type on them.

Wireless or 'optionally wireless' with a detachable USB cable -- I shunned them for years ("what I'm going to do when my keyboard stops working?"), but in reality it takes months to drain the two AAA batteries -- and I'm typing for a living (and fun, after work...)

I think I have a wireless keyboard somewhere laying around, but it was a cheap buy to use with my headless Raspberry Pis in case of emergency. It also has a touchpad, which I thought was good idea back then (it wasn't). But I think I still use the same AAA batteries that came with this keyboard or changed them once. It came with a 2.4 GHz dongle, so I'm not sure if one could eavesdrop the communication.

Concerning bluetooth, I've managed to this day not to use any bluetooth devices, so I don't have any experiences with these. I think my desktop doesn't even support it, so I have to buy a dongle, but that would be the least problem. I'm just a little concerned about the range the keyboard can get away from the dongle, because I have to put it at the back of my desktop. But it would be cool to sit in my chair, leaning back and conveniently typing from my lap :).

There are also many mechanical designs as well -- I was raised on IBM and Wang "concrete slab" keyboards, but somehow I'm not missing the "click-clack" or the long travel on every tap.

I think I'll try out some keyboards and until I'll find one that fits my needs I'll send them back.

Thanks for your advice! I'm really grateful for them.

A good, ergonomic keyboard, and a good, ergonomic mouse (for the times when I'm in `acme` and/or on Plan9) make a big difference.

There's essentially _no reason_ to waste your time and health on typing on cheap or overhyped ("mechanical", "gaming", "75%" and whatever the cat dragged home from TikTok or Youtube) keyboards.

@samhunter Sorry for the late answer, your Tinylog entry must have slipped through. I just found your entry while testing the search filter function of GTL :).

Yes, you're right. I should buy a reasonable, ergonomic keyboard. I've worked with computers for such a long time now and don't know much about keyboards, especially ergonomic ones. But the mechanical keyboard I'm using now is really a pain to work with, so it seems I have to invest a little more money and buy a good keyboard. I don't know about the prices and types of good, ergonomic keyboards, but I think it will pay out in the end. I have to search for some information, I don't want to buy something that is even worse than what I have now, I really have to use a lot of force to press the keys with this shitty cheap gaming keyboard.

And all this, although I set up my desktop/laptops to use the mouse as little as possible a long time ago. The keyboard of my Lenovo Thinkpad T460s is good to work with, the keyboard on my more 'powerful' laptop could be better (especially for what I've paid for it).

My hand is better now. It seems I've slept in a strange position, squishing the wrist of my hand, so it's not just the keyboard. This happens from time to time. I'll look into ergonomic keyboards anyway. Thanks for your post.

And again: Sorry for the late answer.

I just made another tag release of the GTL Tinylog reader. Besides some bugfixes there is the main improvement of usable bookmarks with "Open Links", "Open Thread", "Reply", "Delete" and "Open Tinylog" functionality. So you can bookmark entries and answer them later and such things.

The binaries for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD for amd64 and arm64 architectures can be downloaded here:

Hope to you have fun with this release. If you have any ideas for new features or if you have problems, I would like to hear of them.

Have fun!

I played my first game of padel (yes that's spelled correctly), and it was fun! if you've never heard of it, it's a cross between tennis, pickleball and a little racquetball. it's played with thick foamy paddles that have holes in them, and a padel ball - which is a slightly deflated tennis ball - on a pickleball sized court with a net and glass walls on the back and a bit of the sides of the court.

It's slower than racquetball but is still quite fun due to the difference in strategy. There might be a court near you!

the ride today was good. there's a local bike path that's well maintained and flat so I was able to test out using a single speed (not fixie) bike for longer distances. It was fun but also a little exhausting. As these professional-type bikers whizzed past me with their 20+ gear options, I found myself wishing for another gear, but ultimately I didn't need it, I just needed to pedal faster. I think of it as trying out bike purism. And after all, on flat roads, you end up only using a couple gears anyway.

All in all a good ride. I'm thinking about clipless pedals now to increase pedal efficiency since I only have one gear...

Of course my simple bike project had to wait. Just when I thought I had everything, I didn't.

The local bike shops don't carry bar-end brake levers so I got them online. In the age of Amazon, I was surprisingly dismayed that my brakes would take over a week to arrive, but wait I did. in the meantime I'd decided to add crosstop brake levers for when I'm riding on the flat of the bull horns. these are in-line with the bar ends.

everything came yesterday and I stayed up late to install everything: brake lines, brake line housing with ferrules, crosstop and bar end brakes. and this morning I added bar tape. It looks really good for a cheap bike. I took a couple hour ride on it.

Does anybody know, if @bacardi55 still reacts to Tinylog submissions to add to the 'official' Tinylog list? It seems he doesn't work on anything Gemini related anymore, although he posted a web blog entry two days ago.

I would inherit the offical list again, because I think he doesn't really maintain it anymore. I'll start with his list which is at the moment still reachable on his capsule. I'll also make a gemlog post about it and make the list available for download. In the meantime you maybe should send me an email with your tinylog address if you want it to be on the list if it still is not. I'll start with the recent list downloaded from bacardi55's site at Thu, 27 Nov 2025.

It *seems* the problem with preformatted text is now gone, at least in my tests. I made a new bugfix release, which can be downloaded here:

I hope for some people testing this release.

@fab I am alreadly limiting posts from each tinylog, but the difference is still 1 vs 30 (? not sure, I haven't counted) of them.

I'll do it for myself anyway and if anyone is interested, they can grab the link on my capsule, when published.

I discovered that GTL downloads all the Tinylog content anyway despite any limit in the TUI. It just limits the displayed entries. But if you don't limit the display of entries, GTL can get a little sluggish, so an entry of

  ```

  tui_max_entries = 100

  ```

should be fine. But I can't understand your problems that GTL takes too long to load. On my systems it takes from 1-3 seconds to download all active tinylogs. That's not too long, I think.

Now I see the bug is still there. I thought I've fixed it. Sorry for that. It takes a while to get it right.

Tue 25 Nov 2025 23:40 +0100

author: 👾 @fab@redterminal.org

On the tinylog's subject: an aggregated log is much faster to load than `#n` individual logs. If there is interest, I can build one with all of the entries in the previous subs.txt file that @fab sent.

At first I have to say that I had a regression of an old bug which I created a HotFix for. So everybody should download the new Version as soon as possible. The use of '##' in a preformatted text block broke the whole display of entries in 'tui' and 'gemini' mode. This is now fixed.

To your problem:

You can limit the numbers of entries to load with the following option in your gtl.toml config file. It takes indeed much longer to load all the entries from all Tinylogs.

# That's enough to stay up-to-date if you look every 2 or 3 days
tui_max_entries = 100
  ```

  To reply you have to set the following entries in your gtl.toml:

  At first you need to set the $EDITOR environment variable to your editor in your bash config or whatever shell you're using, to open it for replying, for example VIM or Nano. Then you have to set the following options:
  ```
# set this to enable editing
allow_edit = true
  ```
  Then you have to set the path to your local tinylog.gmi file:
  ```
tinylog_path = 'gemini/site/tinylog_path.gmi'
  ```
  You should also set your upload script, which you can run after closing the editor (must be executable) for automatic upload:
  ```
post_edit_script = "~/bin/upload_tinylog.sh"
  ```
  You can then set your GTL to refresh the timeline after uploading
  ```
post_edit_refresh = true
  ```
  You should also copy a preformatted answer text to your clipboard, so you can paste it into your editor. This needs the programs 'xclip' or 'xsel'. It's a complete entry with recent timestamp, reply line and the quoted text to answer in your clipboard.
  ```
tui_copy_stub_clipboard = true
tui_show_stub = true

Then you can choose the entry you want to reply to with <Shift-J>/<Shift-K> or use your mouse to select the entry, and then press <Shift-R> to reply. You can also get a help menu with the '?' key.

I think I have to update the documentation in the README.md files in the repository to make things clear. But I hope this helps.

Do you still use his aggregated tinylogs in your subscriptions config file? If yes, then disable it and download the subscriptions list from here:

and point your config file to the subs.txt file. I hope bacardi55 hasn't added his aggregator to the list, then you need to disable/delete the @gtl entry in the file. I *believe* it's a problem with bacardi55's aggregated feed, so if you fully disable it, the problems should be gone. I think all active tinylogs are in this subscription file. Just delete the one from "@gtl".

Another thing: I set up CI on my Codeberg repository for GTL, so it now creates directly usable binaries for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, each for the x86_64 (amd64) and the arm64 architectures on every new release tag.

So if you don't want or can't build Go binaries you can now simply download a ready made binary.

I fixed the display of preformatted text blocks in GTL (which was really difficult, and in the end the solution was easy). The new color option is:

  ```

  tui_color_preformatted = "00A000"

  ```

I also did the following changes:

• FIXED display of preformatted text blocks in TUI mode
• FIXED display of preformatted text blocks in gemini mode
• Added word wrapping in TUI mode
• Removed the @GTL header in gemini mode
• GTL now also recognizes 'http' links (not just 'https')
• Changed the the date to international format in automatic config generation

I would be pleased if some of you will test the new commits and report errors and problems. After some time of testing I'll tag a new release.

You can find the GTL fork repository here:

I looked at the screenshots. As far as I know you can disable the @gtl feed aggregator in the older versions in the 'subs' file in your configs. In the version I forked I disabled the automatic @gtl feed aggregator so you'll only see the normal Tinylog feeds you put in your 'subs' file yourself. So it should look *alright*. (despite the preformatted blocks yet). The @gtl aggregator doesn't seem to work right with GTL. Not sure what bacardi55 did there (and why).

The official feeds file is still maintained by bacardi55 (but I have doubts), where you can download a recent feeds file:

As you can see, posts from @wpn are fine, like for emotes, while posts from @gtl have a few visual issues.

All of this started happening several (a few?) months ago; in the beginning even @gtl was looking good.

I'm working on the fork at the moment. I'm currently working on the 'gemini' mode, so maybe you can use this soon for your capsule. In TUI mode I already added word wrapping and am working on the right display of preformatted blocks. Most of the work is already done by bacardi55 I sometimes only have to tweak some things. But to get the preformatted textblocks display right is a hassle. I screamed at my laptop multiple times. But I'm sure I'll get this right also. I just need some time. You don't need to to open an issue on Codeberg. But I would be happy if you would try the newer versions, but only if you want.

I'm not sure how to fix your problem with your emoji glitches, but maybe somebody else has an idea about the problem. In my tests with the amfora browser I didn't have any problems with the emojis, so I can't really anticipate what your problem with emojis is. I saw it was broken in your answer to my last post but I'm not sure why, so I can't exactly tell if it's a problem with gtl or maybe your editor or maybe your character encoding. But normally gtl never includes the emoji in a reply line (maybe because of this problem) at least in the newer versions. But I would really be thankful if you provide more details 🙏.

finished a couple things this week - a couple art pieces, and also the first issue of a fun little group zine project called the Little Library Magazine. It's only 8 half-letter size pages plus the cover, but it's a start, and the contributions were really sweet.

Learned how to do a pamphlet stitch, and dropped off some copies in a couple of Little Libraries in the neighbourhood. Who knows what'll come of it, but it's worth a try :)

Hallo @fab. I'm not an avid GTL user as well, so I post something in my tinylog from time to time, then open the actual sofware whenever I have free time.

Agreed on sourcehut, I don't like it very much myself.

>

My issues so far are pretty much a few glitches about how bacardi's tinylogs are displayed in GTL. I have a local aggregated tinylog, which is created by GTL software itself, but that doesn't show the same symptoms. I set everything up last year, so yeah, I'm not running any new stuff.

In the meantime I set up a fork of GTL on my Codeberg.org account, where I already applied the open patches. I decided to do so to accept Pull Requests and patches submitted with 'git send-email' and include these in a timely manner. I won't develop much on the project myself but I want others to include their PRs and submissions if they have interest in the project. I hope there are at least some.

You can find it here:

Maybe (hopefully) some people are interested in fixing bugs and make it ready for use as a CGI script. Maybe you'll be able to use it then. I won't recommend it to you yet - except for testing.

I'll also make a gemlog post about the fork to make it public. The more people know about it the better.

@Sandra, hi. Please let us know about your GTL setup, if you want to. As I said I might be slow to reply.. Emails find me sooner, generally.

I took my cheap fixie bike for a ride this past weekend. it was fun but the flat handlebar started hurting my hands and wrists after a while. of course, that started me down the road to modding my bike. I've never done mods or upgrades to a bike so this was all-new rabbit hole territory for me.

It's been fun learning to mod a bike. There's a local bike co-op that I've been visiting for cheap used parts, where I picked up some bullhorn handlebars. The parts of course don't all fit together so I had to buy some shims. The old brake levers don't fit either so I had to get bar end brakes. Weekend project: installing new handlebar, brakes and bar tape.

spouse and i finally sat down and watched Stop Making Sense - both of us are Talking Heads fans but had never seen it, one of those things that you mean to get to at some point. We had pretty high expectations and weren't disappointed - the production was all super punk/DIY/performance art, just genius the whole way through

Besty gifted me his #diy #printrbot #3dprinter that he's honed to perfection over the years, and I've been having a lot of fun learning to use it! I've also been brushing up on my #freecad skills so that I can design more portable computers and #cyberdecks in future.

@roughnecks At first, thanks for your mention! I have to admit that I haven't been following my TinyLog stream for a long time (about 2 month or so). I'll try to follow again in future.

And yes, there are some issues with GTL. I also patched it myself with all sent in patches since the last release, but I can't find the development mailinglist at the moment, where you can find the patches, sorry. I hate sourcehut for not showing the development mailing list on the repository page :( So you have to search for it yourself. I still use GTL (the patched version) and I'm not really happy, but satisfied with it. I don't care for emojis anyway.

If GTL doesn't work for you anymore, I'm not sure what you can do. There are not many alternatives out there. Maybe you should ask @Sandra what she uses. I think she has something with which she can also post from her phone. Best would be if GTL finds a new maintainer. @bacardi55 seems to have abandoned the project. But don't ask me! I won't maintain GTL although it would be worth it, in my opinion.

I've abandoned Lisp. I stopped coding and going to Gemini since last May because the coding was affecting my sleep and general mental state. Living life with minimal computer involvement was nice for a while, but I'm back.

I'm back to Go, but only in chunks. I find that coding problems, for me, are a mental addiction and I have to step away. I realize I'm no coding guru so I'm going to stay with the languages I can work with. Lisp was fun, but as a hobby it was unfortunately too much work to get anything useful done.

I bought a really cheap urban bike to just mess around on. I have a road bike that I've been maintaining for 20 years, but it's nice to have one that won't immediately wipe out on a bit of dirt or sand, and if it breaks, eh, it was cheap enough.

Resurrecting this capsule from the grave. I never really intended for it to go by the wayside, life just sort of happened. Mostly school, but then we bought a house, suffered through a really painful move and right afterwards my dad passed away so I just hadn't even bothered to set the hardware back up. Well, it's up again now.
