Having fun writing for my flounder blog + Etc — Ngl, writing stuff for my flounder website is pretty fun. (I still hope to continue on making my codeberg pages into a GoHugo hosted page, I'll use quad9 for the DNS stuff too.) I also hope to continue on making my blog and frustration pages for my personal website into seperate pages, mainly to add an RSS feed and make sure it'll work smoothly.

Looking for some beta testers who use Linux for a multi-protocol browser I've been working on. [https link] Feedback is appreciated if decide to try it out.

New old music — Last week, I re-recorded this old song of mine (written between 2011 and 2013) for a friend of mine, who was part of the band at the time. I am not that good with song titles, so back then all of our songs were simply labeled as "Song 1", "Song 2", "Song 3"... This one was "Song 4", and still I have not decided a title for it. The song was recorded in Ardour 8.4.0 from Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre, with…

Are there any small web/gemini resources on Lemmy or any other federated type of networks? The ones I am find are very antiquated. Some without posts for like a year.

Command History of My Life — Some people keep journals. I remember things like a terminal history. Not everything. Just the commands that mattered. $ boot No memory of this. Only the aftermath. All commands on [gemini link]

Managing dotfiles with nothing but a makefile — Makefiles make files, and dotfiles are files. I've used a makefile to generate actual dotfiles as hard links for over a year, and it's worked great.

Mile End Kicks — has gotten a theatrical release around Canada. my partner saw it at a film festival last year and thought i would like it, i did. it is a small story about a young woman moving from toronto to montreal and making bad decisions. the focus is on fitting into the music scene as a young woman, both in the motivations of the main character as well as through the book she is struggling to write about Alanis Morisette. i can relate to the experience of being able to understand…

Hey everyone! — Long time Gemini/Gopher (Well mostly Gopher) reader. I have decided to be social now. Not that it's particularly of interest to everyone but I'm posting from my limited data LTE Smol-Net appliance.

Do you use a reverse proxy? — Using a reverse proxy is kinda the default for the "normal" web, but what about gemini? on one hand, you probably don't need it right now with the current community size (and how nice people seem to behave). on the other hand, I don't want to blindly trust the internet to not be mean to server infrastructure and I'm not sure if every gemini server out there has protection mechanisms like basic rate-limiting.

Staying Organized with todo.txt and the todo CLI — Keeping track of tasks shouldn't require a complex system. Sometimes, a simple text file is all you need. That's where todo.txt and the todo CLI shine. Read how I use todo.txt to organize my tasks on [gemini link]

Alhena 5.5.6 — Alhena 5.5.6 is available. The big feature is Gemlog and atom subscriptions. I also added Markdown support. Beyond that, a number of corner case bugs have been squashed. Well worth updating. The Markdown stuff is interesting. There's a library called commonmark which can convert Markdown to HTML. Alhena can take that converted Markdown and run it through its HTML to Gemtext converter. Not everything translates but those things (bold and italics, etc) are quietly ignored. It…

How to embed audio files in gmi files — This is something quick, but how do I add audio files in a gmi file? I wanted to make a page full of my flounder online site, and it sent an error. I know how to do this for HTML but not for gmi files yet.

Such Ugly Cars — I can't imagine buying a new car. Aside from the stupidity of dozens of computers, cameras that spy on you with a hidden internet connection, they look like total s**t. I was walking the dog today, and every car parked in the street looks like an ugly sneaker. Drives like a car, looks like a sneaker.

Decentralized P2P for Legacy Hardware? I want to bridge Gemini/Nex simplicity with P2P (IPFS/Freenet) for machines like Symbian or WinXP (<100MB RAM). Philosophy: If hardware works, it should stay useful. Ecosystems shouldn't force upgrades. My Idea: A Modular KISS System Transport: Decoupled (P2P/Radio/BT). Crypto: Optional local decryption. Interface: Text-first (Nex-style). Assets: MIDI/VLC triggered on-demand. Nostr/SSB feel too heavy. Does a truly modular/light…

New post on undeadly.org: [https link] sysctl hw.smt is getting replaced with sysctl hw.blockcpu which allows blocking whole classes of core from the scheduler. Seems like a great improvement and assuming you can switch at runtime a good way to extend laptop battery life.

🚀 astrowat:

I’m pondering about self hosting a small gopher hole on my raspberry pi. It’s mostly for #meshtastic (I’m using it as a BBS), but I’d like to show it off to people without a mesh of their own. Would it be a bad idea to open port 70 on my firewall? I’m intentionally avoiding any cgi so the surface area of attack in smallish.

Paid parking scam — I had to go to a medical imaging lab, in the evening. We find one in the city that is open til 8 and according to their website they take walkins. Try to call to make sure they're actually open and still taking walkins tonight. they don't answer their phones after four. It's in a part of town that I would not have expected to be charged parking and is many blocks away from any place you can park if you're not patronizing a particular business. Roll up to a massive parking…

🌒 s/Yggdrasil

📻 eugene:

Fun fact — Yggdrasil internals are not well documented. Which is why, when I needed two programs to communicate over Yggdrasil through their embedded Yggdrasil nodes, I spent well over a week coding up a mess around `yggquic`, when I actually needed an UDP-like message transport. Turns out that if you specifically need fire-and-forget messages without a delivery guarantee, you don't need `go-quic`, `yggquic`, or any of that junk. (Which has issues with context canceling, never mind introducing…
