@Dennis5891 @OutofPrintArchive I apologise for the somewhat shameless pluggery, and you're very welcome to tell me to pound sand. HOWEVER: you may well get a kick out of this mini-documentary series I made about pinball video games. youtu.be/BfcQwuH9FSY

@jhavard I have only vaguely heard of activitypub and do not know where to even begin with that process, there is so much that I do not know. πŸ˜“β€‹ I've never installed any kind of scripting or software on to a web host before.

Web design geeks: between 5 different stylesheets, I have used exactly _one_ image across the entire project. Every single effect you see here is pure CSS. I feel so awesome for putting it together completely by hand.

netizen.club/~wildweasel/wease - yesterday and today, I've spent my time laboriously converting all of my writing that I did for Cohost, into HTML that I can host on my own webspace. Everything is now properly organized, and because I have full control over its presentation, each setting now has its own neat little CSS style associated with it. If you enjoy genre fiction, there is Quite A Lot of it here.

When I die please mix my ashes with concrete, then turn me into a brick and throw me at an Amazon Warehouse

Working on relocating my writing - especially the stuff from Cohost - to a subsection of my webspace on Netizen Club (the same space Golfshrine is hosted on). This gives me more control over its presentation than with Dreamwidth or Wordpress.

It also lets me make the text glow like a terminal.

It's good that Desert Bus is on the immediate horizon, because if there's anything we need now, it's an overwhelming demonstration that good persists. For Hope indeed.

I can’t choose the reality I exist in. All I can choose is what to do with the time I have left. I choose to make cool stuff and share it with people who want it. I choose to learn for learning’s sake. I choose to live, and to exert my limited influence to make the area around me better. I honestly don’t know what more I could be asked to do.

you know, to ease myself from absorbing too much uspol stress I'm gonna watch the Robair Clip Tape

Literally 6 hours of random game show stuff, recorded by Robair Mackey, probably one of the original game show superfans: youtube.com/watch?v=wf-CBDU_wW

One of the things I miss most from #FreeBSD when I'm on Linux is being able to hit ^T to get a status line showing what a long-running process is up to. Pretty much everything in base seems to emit a useful line about what it's working on (e.g. cp will tell you the file/percentage it's up to) and the system will add output with load and task state/times.

In the screenshot, I hit ^T after the β€œdaily" line, while tarsnap was working away quietly to itself. Works on macOS too, generally.

@mavica_again by about 5 months, by the look of it! ...I probably need to update my copy of it the next time I do anything with the clie πŸ˜…β€‹

@mavica_again Sony Clie PEG-N760, running some variety of Palm OS 4 to my recollection. It's an old photo though by a couple years at least

If nothing else but wordle will do, and you have an old Palm OS device somewhere, there's always palmdle! github.com/Lana-chan/palmdle

Since I trust you won’t cross the picket line to play Wordle while NYT’s tech workers are on strike, may I suggest instead you try out @ironicsans β€˜s delightful Gisnep? It’s a daily word puzzle where you reconstruct a quotation from its component letters. gisnep.com

Many long years ago I held a two day Battle Chess tournament with my friend Joe at a VCF East. We had different micro computers play CPU vs. CPU chess via null modem cable without human intervention. A Windows PC won day one. An Apple IIGS won day two. Tonight I am having a bit of nostalgia by having an #Amiga battle an #AtariST.
