The usual. Software developer, former BBS sysop. Atari XE, Dos, OS/2, BeOS, Windows 2000/7 former user, Linux/FreeBSD/Haiku/OpenIndiana current user. The various places I post are listed: https://arkaic.com/

@pro The idle interface and the default GUI toolkit for python is based on tcl/tk.

@fribbledom Oops, I missed the poll. Yes, working color laser printer, but it's all the way out in the garage so it's a paint to go pick up the things I print. Networked though, so I can just print from anywhere in the house.

@requiem @vertigo That is also how PalmOS on the 68000 worked, though with battery backed sram instead of real nvram. I think they moved to flash storage for their ARM models though.

@requiem So, like Dreams for the PSVR then?

Finally halted all of the mastodon processes on my other vps. At the same time, I rebuilt my blog from Jekyll over to Hugo, and made it take over that entire domain. That's two Ruby-based things excised at the same time. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep that vps going or not, and if I don't, where I should move my hugo blog. both cloudflare, and my pleroma server are options.

@pro I think about 9-10 years ago I swapped over to Zoho for my domain. Its interface isn't quite as good and it costs a bit per year, but it gives me more control over the spam settings.

hey fedi let's make our own OS based on L4 and Genode

@quantum @ihorner In particular, them making a very good reader for free with sharing, sucking in everyone to use their service for RSS, then murdering it lead to a slow decline in RSS, and probably Google's prospects for getting new users for their future services as well. Of course, many users jumped ship for Feedly and Newsblur and kept using RSS.

@corvus My main setup here is a deskop with 3 monitors and KDE, with a side monitor hooked to a laptop with xfce. Use the side monitor for chatting and watching videos. That system is really low end though, so I'm thinking about switching it to i3.

@corvus I use KDE on several systems, XFCE on a couple, MATE on one, IceWM, Ratpoison, i3, Enlightenment and xmonad occasionally on others. Gnome I avoid wherever possible to avoid lock-in. I also use Haiku occasionally, but it's not a unix DE, but a separate OS with its own gui.

Update on that old mastodon server, apparently that 844 got down to 817 before it gave up, so some of them were just temporarily down. That's still a big mess of servers that it couldn't deregister itself from. I guess I need to figure out a new use for that server now.

@stuff @why @Moon Mewe has groups as well. It's free, but not ad supported, the freemium model. Discord as well, but similarly it's freemium. There's still some other apps with group chats like Line.

@stuff That's one unfortunate thing about federation, my first instance, freehold.earth iirc, ended up getting extremely outdated because they didn't update their software for a long time, and then finally just dropped it. Luckily I had moved to my own instance before theirs closed.

Just finally took down my old mastodon server. There's 844 sites that it's trying to contact to unregister itself, but that aren't loading. I wonder if they're just temporarily down, or if they're sites that they were taken down without properly self destructing.

Isekai series ideas
First series: The usual, dies, wakes up in another world, does all the things.
Second series: Wakes up in the future as a robot because his brain was frozen in the original world, but he still remembers the Isekai world from the first series.

@pro IMO, the only way that OpenBSD would be more secure is if the Fedora install has something open by default than OpenBSD doesn't, or if they're using a library with a security hole that is not the same library that is in use on OpenBSD. The vulnerabilities with the mail packages themselves should be the same. If you know how to lock down Fedora and keep it up to date, it should be basically as secure.

@anime Oh yeah, I've caught up on all the ones I was following there, but some of the ones I only had rss feeds for I've misplaced... Disappointing there's no RSS on the new site.

Shockingly accurate headline preview.
