Instant nope from me!

And Putinism. It was, after all, the TLD for the Soviet Union.

I prefer WikiLess, tbh. Also, Metastem uses .su, which was the TLD for the Soviet Union.

I use master because I’m nostalgic. If it matters that much, though, I’ll start using trunk (like we used to back in the days of SVN).

Of course it can. Man, technology just keeps getting better and better! /s

Yeah, I think they go into discovery mode until they find a previously-paired device when you turn them on.

I’ll double-check the manual.

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!

Good idea!

The link I gave them was for the organisation I moved the serious stuff to. I did this so I could have more basic, novelty, and experimental repos on my Codeberg, as well as so that other people can “join” the organisation to help work on the projects.

I don’t know where you got the idea that I’m pretending I can’t show people this stuff. That’s not at all the case. I am proud of the software I’ve written; I just thought I could organise it better.

Sounds interesting, but maybe a little too advanced for me.

My objectives are education and fun. I enjoy programming, I want to learn more, and I’ve been inspired by Brodie Robertson’s recent video on novelty software as well.

I’m also applying for computer science courses at a few universities at the moment, and I want them to be impressed. Two repos for projects that haven’t been updated since 2022 isn’t the best look.

Good idea, although I think I’d prefer to make a desktop app. I know HTML, but static sites are as far as my web programming goes.

However, with a bit of Python or C and a PGP library, I could probably have a go at making an encrypted P2P chat service.

Interesting. I think an online Markdown editor, maybe with S3 as a storage backend and a button to convert to PDF, could be a useful CRUD webapp. Great idea!

It might be a bit too professional for my personal repos, though. More suited to the organisation I just moved everything to.

And yet, somehow, everyone was surprised.

Fuck!

Hypatia is good on Android. iOS needeth no antivirus.

I use Zsh with the Oh My Zsh! framework, and I use a different theme depending on which subuserland I’m in, by customising ~/.zshrc. For example, I use the gentoo theme on Debian and its derivatives, agnoster on NixOS, darkblood on Arch, strug for Mageia, apple on my macOS device, aussiegeek on FreeBSD, and gallifrey on OpenBSD. Different themes helps me remember which package manager to use and which distro-specific commands will work.

I’ll send some screenshots in a bit, when I boot up my PC.

I like Zsh because of its tab completion and command history. I also quite like its plugins.

Before anyone asks, I have tried Fish before, and I prefer Zsh. I have tried configuring Bash before, and I prefer Zsh. I have played with Ksh and Tcsh on BSD, and I prefer Zsh. I used PowerShell a long time ago, and I prefer Zsh.

I have a page on my Gemini capsule with a list of the software I use. Ask away about my reasons for any of the entries.

I also quite like LUKS, VeraCrypt, and geli(8) for disk encryption, and I use mainly physical media (e.g. CDs) for music and video.
