For anyone curious, this is what I listen to to get through linux server deployments.

TIL you can use the #JavaScript `fetch()` API with `data:` URIs!

This means if you're using `fetch()` to load a URL in an application, a person can supply a data URI and skip the network entirely.

In particular this can make specifying data in query strings in a URL handle both remote URLs and inline data without an extra code path. 🤯

Tee hee, time to write another streaming zip file parser in JavaScript to account for my specific use case. :P

Glad we have the DataView API now to make life easier.

It also just looks cool as hell:

It'd be nice if the web had a standard API for apps to register and configure keyboard shortcuts for #accessibility use cases.

E.g. right now Github has their own shortcuts, but if somebody wanted to hook them up to an alternative input interface for people with dexterity issues, Github would need to do it manually, or the user would need to stumble through it until they found a way to get at the shortcuts.

IMO every action on a page should be easy to navigate to with a reader or keyboard.

Once again bringing folks attention to https://unit.land which is a live visual #programming environment using #JavaScript under the hood.

One thing I find interesting is that it's a lot more mobile friendly than others. I'm thinking it'll be easier to use on my steam deck than on a phone or tablet with the joysticks / buttons.

The docs recently got updated so it's a bit more approachable: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit/tree/main/src/docs/start

Practicing using #zsh after using plain old bash all my life. It's a bit of getting used to, but the main thing is I'm not looking forward to having to figure out how to customize my color scheme again. 😂

Instead of bridging everything to Matrix I should be turning all my chats into private RSS feeds. 😛

Low key wish I could use mastodon as my RSS reader. Apparently we all have RSS and Atom feeds? I should be able to just follow someone's non ActivityPub blog and comment on it with WebMentions. 😤

Honestly, I should be able to talk to my personal Mastodon account that way too.

Fucked up how capitalism incetivises governments to avoid giving people free food/shelter/medicine just so they can keep getting forced to destroy their bodies for jobs nobody would do otherwise.

One of the most successful aspects of it tbh! That's what people must mean when they say "It's the best system we have".

Alright! Now that v2.0.0 of Agregore is out, the rendering should be fixed up and it can auto-resolve `index.gmi` under hyper://gem.mauve.moe/ when you visit. You can render the raw directory listing by adding `?noResolve` to the end of the URL such as hyper://gem.mauve.moe/?noResolve

I'm gonna go fix this mime type issue and add the ability to resolve `index.gmi` and make sure the mime types for `.gemini` and `.gmi` work correctly accross protocols.

But hopefully this has shown folks that it's pretty easy to to get something p2p out there.

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!
