bdonvr,

I designed a chip architecture that runs bash code on silicon.

I reimplemented x86 assembly in purely bash script.

bdonvr,

I just check every few hours instead of doomscrolling. It’d be nice to have more content and more active niche communities, but somehow I think this is better for me lmao. Anyways it feels cozier but not on the decline imo

bdonvr,

There’s an app for that, Fog of World.

Here’s my map.

bdonvr,

Why would you want to use some Google-coded, bigoted-ceo, crypto-pushing, link hijacking POS like Brave?

bdonvr, (edited )

Sure, but neither are self hosted media servers, and if you can afford/run the one you can afford/run the other. Domain names are cheap as dirt and aren’t all that complicated for anyone running a home server.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

bdonvr,

It’s a luxury indeed. Hopefully maybe a little less now that decent storage has come down in price a lot

bdonvr,

The best part is their autocorrect changed it to “should have”, so they said something like “should have is just as correct as should have”

bdonvr,

I don’t think you normally ever come out of the coma though

bdonvr,

Eh, it’s possible certainly but generally has a low survival rate.

bdonvr,

Am not a statistician, but my understanding is predicting single events are pretty hard.

Predicting the percentage outcomes of a lot of events? That can be done.

bdonvr,

It’s not a stack. Two players are playing, the +4 also skips the turn of the player it affects. The person who played the +4 is then allowed to play any valid card such as a +4 wild.

bdonvr,

Beating the ultra wealthy with a rock is entertaining, if not funny.

bdonvr,

the man got hella c h e e k s

bdonvr,

I don’t keep too many tabs open on desktop unless I’m researching something. But on mobile it’s just too easy to ignore. I’ve hit 1000 tabs a few times. It opens a new tab every time I click a link in an app. I don’t see the tabs unless I really want to. So I forget.

can I be a Free Software advocate but still use non-free software??

I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...

bdonvr,

At best all your sent mail goes to junk, at worst it is just blocked altogether.

Convincing the popular small services to not mark new mail services as junk is extremely difficult

bdonvr, (edited )

Ah that’s still totally possible, I do that.

The domain isn’t all that important, the IP address of the mail server is. I pay an external service that provides a mail server, and my DNS records point to that.

But hosting my own mail server, while possible is not recommended.

bdonvr,

I bring my trackball to work everyday, seriously.

bdonvr,

This is unacceptable.

bdonvr,

$15/mo server rental, plus a few dollars to store backups on a separate service, object storage for media, email, and domain registration. Total $18.64

I have a home server that could easily handle it, but I wouldn’t want to put something so public on it.

bdonvr,

My instance of ~300 users (and uh, far less active ones) is costing me $223/year

I’ve had users donate about $25 so ~10% community funded and 90% admin funded.

That’s fine by me at the current cost. Though if we somehow got a bunch of new users I’d have to cut off signups at some point unless more donations rolled in. I could probably handle a sizeable increase in users first though.

bdonvr,

Not on iOS, though I setup a shortcut that automatically replaces ?! Or !?

bdonvr,

Yes, though that didn’t happen until a few years back.

bdonvr,

Well really what caused that is the socialist/communist revolutions of the early 20th century.

Massive reforms (e.g. the new deal, introduction of Social Security, recognition of union rights, etc) were made in capitalist countries (along with massive anti-communist propaganda) in order to stop the spread of revolution. These were TEMPORARY concessions that we have seen wither away slowly since then. A little cut here, a program cut there, union rights weakened a bit with this law or that.

Now we’re here.

bdonvr,

Yes.

There are books written on this subject, if I were awake enough to remember them I’d recommend one.
