I had a fun time a couple of years ago installing (Not so) CDE on a Raspberry PI. What a trip down memory lane it was.

Sadly .... There have been no updates for a few years.

Retro + synth feels more sci-fi naturally.
We need to go back. Back in time. And wake up to reality from 1995 where Linux took over the market with open source flood. And there were no closed windows. Only the open arms penguins.

@Cass I don't think you are abnormal. Rage is enervating. There is a sort of pleasure in blowing off all that frustration, but when you are aiming it at the wrong target and in a way that won't yield results, eventually it feels hopeless.
@Cass


I am such a sucker for this kind of stuff. <sniffle>

The fires more than an hour north of us are still of concern. They are still at the stage where they create their own weather. However, people in places like Marysville and Warburton, which are closer to us, are being told they can return to their homes. This comes with a caveat to stay indoors, because the smoke, and most especially that smoke you can't see, is very damaging to health. Winds have turned north, so we will be getting less smoke in Healesville, but it is lingering. Only go out with your mask!

Yesterday, I was unable to put up my CheckIn post straight away, because our power went out for several hours. It came back for several hours, then was quickly out and back up in the afternoon.

If you want a Linux distro with simple rollbacks and stable updates, ObsidianOS is worth a look.

they have a typo on their github front page ("all-based" instead of "arch-based"). Nitpick but not a great start, and doesn't give much confidence

I've been actually reading about setting up an #inn server, the past few days. Just because.

I liked #usenet quite a lot, but I must concur that it's pretty much over nowadays.

the main reason for choosing a penguin was that penguins never crash from falling down like the other OS did so often. Tux stands for reliability with long uptime without getting up too high in the sky. Its speed in water, sustainability on minimum of living ressources and social behaviour made it perfect for the new OS. Resilience with the cold world around and lot of more parallels

this looks great! Are you involved or just sharing it on?


These anti-Semitic accounts hide behind the excuse of solidarity with Gazans to spread hatred against Jews. And they discredit the entire feed.

I love mesh networks, and love the 1999 WAP standard. After I started thinkering with MeshCore I realised text is fun but what about the internet? WAP 1.x was built to be sent over SMS... this might work. Taking my WAP-over-SMS project and two ESP32s and voila!

WAP internet (all you actually need) over a fully decentralized network!

in reply to Maartje

Why not HTML? You see HTTP and HTML are bulky protocols. WML in WAP 1.x was send as a compile WMLC. This takes a webpage from 600 bytes (formatted) to 450 (minimised) to 200 bytes compiled! Saving many messages by only sending the essential. Even headers are binary encoded to save space. Exactly what was needed to make WAP work over early GSM is what we need to make it work over LoRa


In the Spring of 2025, I taught a course about interactive programming environments to a small group of students. For various reasons, I have to take down the official web page for that site, which includes slides that may be of interest to people who care about these things. I have therefore chosen to publish those slides on Lost Bits under a Creative Commons License.

Actinomycete genomes are a rich source of unexplored phosphonate natural products. By mining 940 genome sequenced strains, researchers found 54 candidate producers and confirmed phosphonate production in 21 strains, including Kitasatospora fiedleri with a unique, LuxR regulated gene cluster. This strategy paves the way for new bioactive phosphonates with pharma and biotech potential.
