Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

I'm honestly so happy I sat down and made this car2dot library. It's made it so much easier to debug #IPFS stuff.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/car2dot

I got this little keyboard from my computer so that I can sit cross legged and have my hands on my lap instead of having to reach up for my keyboard and mouse. I'm also using this to augment my speech to text set up. basically, I use my voice for most of my typing and then this thing for keyboard shortcuts and turning my speech recognition on and off.

This is what I want my computing setup to be like. A big mess of crunchy colorful graphics all around me.

One of my hobbies is collecting Github Organizations that I'm a part of. :P

Just ran a lil LLM on my #SteamDeck. 7b with 4bit quantization so it's pretty small and dumb. I'm calling it stink-demon.

I'm gonna try to get it to do simple formatting tasks from text I've selected with my mouse based on the speech to text I'm adding to my deck via Vosk and steam-dictation.

Yesss, #uxn shoutout

@nasser "I want the rest of the fucking circle!"

Loving this breakdown by @nasser on why we should look outside of profit motive and capitalism.

Watching @expede do her talk on distributed compute while I mess with keybord bindings at @causalislands 🤯

Now that I have some basics in there, lemme add a DNS address: hyper://gem.mauve.moe/index.gmi

I use namecheap for DNS but you should be able to use whatever you want as long as it supports DNS TXT records.

```
TXT _dnslink.gem dnslink=/hyper/sqtc3rcay8hcg3y8ehcrc66zpiceufstcwupukrggf5eukwp7xdo
```

And bam! I now have a nice looking URL for my blog and it just took a few commands in my devtools and a single DNS record. No servers required!

K, lets delete the old file and make a new one:

```
await fetch('README.gemini', {method: 'delete'})
await fetch('/index.gmi', {
method: 'PUT',
body: `
# Mauve's Gemblog!
Wow this sure is something.
Way more advanced than my HTML based blog!

=> https://blog.mauve.moe
`
})
```

hyper://sqtc3rcay8hcg3y8ehcrc66zpiceufstcwupukrggf5eukwp7xdo/index.gmi

Navigating to the URL will give me an empty index. So first thing I'll do is add my "homepage" under `/README.gemini`. Sadly I don't have a thing to resolve `index.gemini` yet, but I wanna add that next time I get a chance. Gonna read these docs to brush up on my gemtext: gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi

```
res = await fetch('/README.gemini', {
method: 'PUT',
body: `# Mauve's Gemblog!`
})
await res.text()
```

Now I can reload and click to open the page

Next I'm going to use the `fetch()` API to create a new `hyper://` website based on a "pet name" for the key. Every time I use this human readable name it will resolve to the same human-unreadable public key URL.

I got back hyper://sqtc3rcay8hcg3y8ehcrc66zpiceufstcwupukrggf5eukwp7xdo/ which is the public URL for my new site (currently empty)

```
res = await fetch('hyper://localhost/?key=gemblog', {method: 'POST'})
await res.text()
```

First thing I'm gonna do is open agregore://welcome to get a fresh page and hit ctrl+shift+i to open up the devtools. You can also use `File > Open Dev Tools` or right click on the page and hit `Inspect`.

So true!

My goat is now a fairy. 🥰

Honestly hard to make an image caption that captures this majesty

My goatsona. Purple hotrod fur, fairy wings to fly around, extra horns, skull mask to summon more goat friends, and taco shoes for fart jumps. 😎😎😎

This is actually a really cool concept.

Tell me this isn't perfect for some sort of occult system.

```
PS1='\[\033[01;31m\][\h\[\033[01;36m\] \W\[\033[01;31m\]]\$\[\033[00m\] '
```
I use this to make my terminal prompt look a bit more colorful. (set in my .bashrc)

Also I use this to make it easier to copy data and open files / folders.

```
alias clip='xclip -selection clipboard'
alias open='xdg-open'
```

Not having my entire window manager freeze when I close a terminal is a huge productivity boost so far. 🤪
