Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

Figured out a portion of my email troubles and got some sleep and suddenly I feel a bit less angry at computers :P

@skryking Ixf you ever wanna microdose the Steam OS experience, run Arch with KDE and forbid the use of installing or configuring anything outside of your user folder. :o One effect is that I usw homebrew for everything on the cli now.

@skryking I'm jot sure tbh. I could probably make some sort of script to restore deleted configs after an update but honestly I don't have time time to spend on anything like that. I just need a computer I can run code on. It almost feels like it'd be better to ssh or rdp into a more stable box or something 😅

Computer software is not a joy to use. Especially if you care about things being "cross platform". The best program is the one you don't run.

@jackdaw_ruiz People shouldn't be allowed to own things they don't have a personal attachment to.

Made the mistake of trying to give QT another shot.

I think I am particulrly sensitive to my information streams being disrupted because I am very much a cyborg and these are my sensory organs that are suddenly being ripped out.

All the graphical email clients suck and they either use gigabytes of ram or don't support basic shit like using DNS SRV records to lookup server info for account setup. Usually both plus some extra bullshit. I'm going joker mode and dropping everything until I have my own client.

I'd almost switch to Windows at this point just so I don't have to mess around with configs and re-loging into all my email accounts every month.

LMAO and it completely fucked my email client. Remind me why should I bother updating software ever? Every update I get just makes my system worse and more unstable.

Just updated my #SteamDeck and it turns out they broke the MDNS support so I can't resolve `.local` domains again. It's literally one line of code what bullshit reason could they have for disabling this. The cherry on top is that the readonly filesystem means I'd lose this setting on every update if I enable it manually

@Gmaclennan Yeah that's reasonable. This idea would require building upon some more c/c++ friendly p2p protocols and getting into the internals of how sqlite loads and saves data 😅

@Gmaclennan Have you thought ahout ditching hypercore oplogs for replicating at the sqlite storage layer? Merkalize the b tree and have sql as your primiyive and sync the source trees from other writers (still runs into paralell writers issue hut maybe merged can happen more efficiently that way too?

@staltz Yeah I totally get yah. Even just a bit a month from comapnies that depend on it would make it so nuch cheaper for them in the long run too 😅

@staltz 🫂 jeeze yeah. I'm defs too scared to go that route. Personally I live on cobtravts that ket people do a thing they'd have trouble with otherwise

@staltz wild. Are corporate users of nodejs-mobile not aware of the donations thing? Feels like a no brainer for keeping this alivr
