Woah I just discovered that you take any collection (of audio) on archive.org and subscribe to an rss feed version of it in a podcast player/podcatcher!

heres a rss link for the one I just tried with if you want to try yourself https://archive.org/services/collection-rss.php?collection=noise-arch

Surprised that my changes to the SDL2 wiki got approved this fast.

I made the website's appearance a bit more bearable, with *at least* a decent contrast and readability, + mobile support.

This is really interesting. This QML library developed for PureMaps abstracts over KDE Kirigami, Sailfish Silica, and Ubuntu Touch Components. https://gitlab.com/dylanvanassche/convergence-components

functional programming is when you write something and it works on the first try

i swear that 90% of the reason people remember the 6502 and Z80 with such affection is that getting them to do anything useful took so much effort that once people had, they felt a sense of achievement that hasn't been possible since... because everything since, from the 6809 onwards, has just been so much easier to program ;-)

the same also applies to the 1802, i suppose - maybe even more so, given its... er, stately progress through machine code

Does anyone know how to make libcurl quit complaining about not finding a valid cert, i.e. put some certs in a place where it's looking so that it will shut up on NetBSD? I say "libcurl" and not just "curl" because I'm getting these messages in Viking when trying to download tiles from OpenCycleMap.

Reply only if you know this on NetBSD. I'm not interested in where the store is on other OSs. This means you, Linux users.

@PINE64 Is it possible to make more than one PinePhone OS available from a single sd card? Can Grub or Lilo be used for this? Or something akin to Ventoy, which can be used to make a boot USB with multiple live OS options?

@alcinnz @syntacticsugarglider In Python async functions were originally normal generators, but later they became special generators
marked as coroutines, as new constructs like await for and await with were added.

Haven't looked up how await for works actually. I guess it'd have to take a generator (normal) that yields generators (coroutines)? I dunno.

hey so uh, do i know anyone who's Experienced at making documents Screen Reader Friendly? would you be up for having A Chat/walking me thru some stuff? i have a mixed Hebrew/English document with a lot of tables and i'm not finding useful info just by searching

Just switched from ERC to Weechat (terminal). ERC wasn't performing well enough and was kind of buggy. I might check out the Weechat plugin for Emacs later.

Also, I started using Castor and Asuka for exploring the Gemini web. Castor has an early lead for my favor, but Asuka might grow on me still. And similar to above, I may try out Elpher later.

I really like Gemini space a lot.

This is cool because (1) less tricky code to maintain in wlroots + single code-path (2) better support for our non-systemd users (3) we can share all of this goodness with other Wayland compositors

wlroots has dropped all of its session code in favor of libseat!

Next up is Weston, it got initial support for libseat a few days ago.

The design of having a bunch of people sharing one discussion space kinda made sense with IRC when you had to be online to see what was discussed. In modern discussion systems where you can go back and read what was said while you were away, I don't think this design is appropriate. Even a chat with 3 active users is hard to keep up with, let alone chats with thousands of users. AFAIK Zulip is the only chat system that does this right by imposing a two tiered organization of streams and topics.
