Music industry’s 1990s hard drives, like all HDDs, are dying
  • I have a thick as a brick vinyl from 1972 and it's still in a great condition :) i know it's not suitable for 8-channel recordings or anything, but maybe we should've invested in that type of research.

  • Anonymous Torrenting With I2P
  • that's fair.

    i have it set up on a headless server running alpine linux and it has libtorrent2 in its repos. i did exactly as i explained and got it workin, so i was assuming lots of things, apparently.

  • What languages/frameworks for small, very low usage apps on limited hardware?
  • Are you planning to compile the programs on the thin client? Although rust runs efficiently on a lot of hardware, compiling is gut-wrenching.

    I have an rPi 1B running as a lightweight server and both rust and c++ applications take hours to compile (some of them take over a DAY). so, interpreted languages might be what you're looking for. my favorite is python. most distros have a lot of native packages in their repos. albeit a little weird to work on, perl is great, too.

    this is a bballjo video (i know you mentioned him) but not a bballjo build. he shows how some other person solved everything with public transit, transferring people far away from the city. basically the 16-hour period does not progress when the citizen is using public transport. you can have your industries far away from the city, you can even have your civil buildings far away from the city.

  • After 20 Years I Still Love Linux

    I have been using linux for almost 20 years now and it never stopped to amaze me.

    recently we bought a drawing tablet (screen ones). my wife uses windows so she installed the drivers, installed the configuration program and so on. After hours and hours she called me to say "i finally got it working" and i felt the frustration in her voice.

    i just tried to get it working on my machine, i'm using swaywm mind you. as i connected the hdmi it just got recognized as a second monitor. but the mapping was off, it tried to map the whole width of the working area to the tablet. so i just put this in the config:

    input INPUT_NAME { map_to_output OUTPUT_NAME map_to_region OUTPUT_X OUTPUT_Y WIDTH HEIGHT }

    and that's it! no drivers no nothing. i love linux!

    systemd, Part Deux
  • because it's a tiny system to get up and running, it's especially invaluable for systems like mobile phones because the disk space varies a lot and some of them are really restrictive in that regard (i don't know how mobian does it).

    the thing is, this was supposed get everything simpler than openrc. the way i percieve it, that's not the case.

    i'm not using plasmo or gnome/phosh, i use sxmo, so it won't affect me that much, but i think this effort might be fruitless at the end. i really really hope i'm wrong, because i love pmos (and sxmo).

  • [Lemoa] Adding Some Instances Won't Work

    Hi everyone, I have been trying to get Lemoa to work on my PostmarketOS setup.

    At first run, I tried to add an instance. There are two choices: Public and Custom. When Public is selected nothing happens, I don't even know if something should happen. And when Custom is selected it asks for an instance url. When I input lemmy.world or lemm.ee it works. But when I input lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml it just says "error decoding response body: expected value at line 1 column 1". I guess it's an error regarding the language the program was written, which is Rust, and that it cannot interpret the url, I'm not sure.

    I thought .ml TLD might be the reason, being not so popular, I don't know. But so is .ee, and it works.

    I don't have a github account so i can't open an issue there, hopefully the developer sees this post, or if anyone else here had the same problem they can enlighten me.
