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

"Most anarchists always wear black. However, knowledgeable intellectual anarchists occasionally avoid wearing black in order to subvert preconceptions about the way that anarchists dress. Very knowledgeable intellectual anarchists subvert the stereotype of how knowledgeable anarchist intellectuals occasionally avoid wearing black by never avoiding wearing black. The really really knowledgeable intellectual anarchists realize that it doesn't matter what you wear as long as you (1) hate the government, and (2) never use a coaster. And the extremely really really really knowledgeable intellectual anarchist wear nothing at all except combat boots and a black silk cape with the anarchy sign on it."
@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?
The real truth is I can schrdule more time for art in my free time instead of tv or something. Just gotta get around the hand pain 😅😅😅
AI (fancy matrix math) tools for cellular automata are cool and also scary when you connect that with cybernetics (not scifi, academia)
Low key wish I could maintain my current quality of life using art instead of coding sometimes.
Every now and then I am reminded that I am anomalous in my interests.

With the enshittification of search engines & the boom in craptastic AI word-vomit machines, I'm starting to wonder if we should go back to making old-school public listings of our favorite sites, especially other ones created by actual humans and with actual valid knowledge contained on them?
Or maybe more librarians could catalog the web for us, since they're pretty expert at that kind of thing.
Because the machine-driven systems we've built are just... *bad*.

Most screen readers say "link" before each link, so links don't need "link" in the link text. For images used as links, the alt text for a graphic doesn't need to say "link" or "link to," as screen readers could say "link graphic link to Products," which is redundant.
The only "BS" that "I" will tolerate is WiFi IBSS. 🤪

Announcing the 10th #LoFi (#LocalFirst) meetup on Tuesday, November 28, at 11:00 AM EST. We have another fantastic lineup featuring Greg Svarovsky, Sunil Pai, and @mauve
Make sure to tune in by visiting https://lofi.software.
Cool thing in the #IPFS and #libp2p ecosystem is #IPNSLink https://ipnslink.com/
tl;dr: Run a server somewhere (like at home), generate a public key for it's identity. Users can access it from either the p2p network directly or any gateway that will automatically route to it.
No need for dns or messing with ip addresses.
I'm thinking it could be handy for #SocialInbox users that want to self host at home on their pc.
Jumpscared myself by remembering americans use yards/inches/feet for measurement and they aren't just clean multiples of 100 between units. 💀💀💀
Follow @HyphaCoop@hypha.coop for our announcement post on the 5th!

I'd like to thank Amazon for their decision to start charging for IPv4 addresses on top of their already inflated monthly charges for a small VPS we're running on their infrastructure. Caused me to finally do some comparative shopping and wow, turns out we can get what we need, and more, from another provider for about a quarter of what we're paying now
