I've been working on a little something for the past few days, and it's finally usable 😁

![media-1]

introducing…. gopher.tal!
codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher.ta…
it's a lightweight (~3.2kb) gopher client that tries to be as unsurprising as possible

features:

  • clickable and tab-focusable links
  • keyboard scroll and screen resize
  • support for gopher-search
  • special port numbers (still gotta speak gopher)

would you be better off using w3m/bopher? probably

is this still a web browser written in assembly? hell yeah!

heyo, could someone on Manjaro/Arch help to test this? you'll need my uxn2 fork at codeberg.org/notchoc/uxn2 then run like uxn2 -N gopher.rom gopherpedia.com



Hallo Server Admins, ich habe mir bei Hetzner so eine Storage Box geholt. Darauf möchte ich tägliche Backups meiner MariaDB Datenbank machen. Die Frage ist nur, wie am besten? Je mehr ich im Netz zu diesem Thema suche, um so verwirrter bin ich.

Daher meine Frage an das Fediverse: Wie ist das beste Vorgehen bzw. welche Lösungen sind für einen Anfänger bei diesem Thema zu empfehlen?

@Friendica Admins #followerpower #askfedi #fragdasfediverse

Ich empfehle mariabackup, um eine Kopie einer Datenbank zu erstellen und dann scp, um die Kopie auf einen externen Server zu übertragen.
in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

Das neuere mariadb-backup (ein Percona Xtrabackup fork) ist in der Tat sehr viel mächtiger als mariadb-dump und insbesondere bei grossen Instanzen mit mehr als 100 GiB Daten sehr empfehlenswert, da es z.B. full-table-locks minimiert und so die Zeit reduziert in der die Instanz nicht geschrieben oder gelesen werden kann. Ich kann das auch nur empfehlen, wenn man sich ein neues MariaDB-Backup einrichtet.

Activismo adolescente y pedagogías feministas: pensar lo digital como territorio

Congreso de Ciberfeminismo visibiliza cómo adolescentes producen conocimiento feminista en Instagram. ¿Cómo fisurar un territorio corporativo donde "sus dueños" deciden qué amplifica el algoritmo? Lo digital es territorio en disputa, pero las plataformas corporativas son territorio de ocupación

Good morning.

Got a call from LBC in London asking if I could come on the radio in 20 mins to talk about the Tangerine Tyrant saying he's going to release all the US UFO files.

Reluctantly agreed, because it's yet another bullshit distraction from some other files.

Good news: presenter was the very sensible Matthew Wright & he agreed that it's all distraction & conspiracy theory wibble.

Better news: he effusively mentioned Space Rocks during the intro 🖖🙂🤘

No, opposing LLMs isn't "purity culture." I've seen this now from quite a few different people, and I disagree vehemently. It is good, actually, to have moral principles and hold to them, even when people with more money than you find said principles annoying.




The beautiful and elegant #Oncilla is a #wildcat 🐱 found in #SouthAmerica. They are #vulnerable due to #deforestation for #gold and #palmoil 🌴⛔️ and are hunted for their fur 😭 #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife #BoycottGold4Yanomami @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/08/…


It's the last of the #cats I've photographed last year, that looks more or less calm ('cos it's sleeping, or, at least, pretending). 😺 All of the rest look somewhat unamused or grumpy. 😾 Maybe I've caught them in inappropriate moment or they just were in bad mood that day. Anyways, it's #caturday, and some more to go, I guess. 🐈‍⬛

Music for today. The song that got Brandon Acker into Baroque music. "Music for a while" by Henry Purcell, with years 1659-1695 given. I guess those are the years he lived (he didn't live very long, did he?) so this piece was presumably written in that time frame. So at least 330 years old. Brandon Acker on the lute with Reginald Mobley on the vocals.

Muse reshared this.

in reply to Wayne Radinsky

@Noam נעם Why did I say "contralto"? I meant "castrato".
in reply to Wayne Radinsky

I was wondering how contralto fit in there...

I've sung in a couple of community choirs, enough to appreciate good singing. I can more or less hold a tune.



Great cover of Bennie and the Jets!

in reply to Muse

And just one more. Carson McKee, who also sings with Josh Turner sometimes. Great voice!
in reply to Muse

I know! I love them all! I can't believe that it's been fifteen years since Josh Turner started putting up these videos. I found him through Allison Young who has also performed with Post Modern Jukebox. And if you keep going down the rabbit hole, many of my favourite music performers have performed with each other!


@pluralistic Could you say more about your editing workflow? I've been plotting something similar.

You talk about Ollama as an LLM, but it is just a server for running LLMs. I'm curious about which model(s) you've been using and how you set the context window and input for longer articles or books. Do you chunk the content first?

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.

#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.

My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you ❤️

This little Chabo chicken escaped from the car carry case somehow. I should be able to grab😨 him tonight for the pressure cooker tomorrow😨😱😰😭.. he's so beautiful, like art work... He was the boss of all the much bigger roosters at a friend's place.. Pear the solid silky will probably be getting a lot of exercise today. Funny to see the pubescent JiDokKo 🐓 roosters (?maybe?) Checking out the scrappy bantam chabo too. The chabo had a goofy voice, I like him... but my Pinoy Bini friends will want to eat him tomorrow..ohh the things we do for friendship and love.😂😃😨😰😱😂😃

We'll be giving a talk at the University Of Victoria on the 6th! Tell your friends at UVic 🐇

Exciting! Don't know if I can make it but I will send someone in my stead if not. A topic I have been thinking about a lot
Merv generally has a focus on sustainability and preservation which I really like as someone interested in archival work.
Anyway, very cool you are giving a talk there. Hope it goes well!
in reply to Harpy

@harpaleon I hope you can! We were thinking of spending the morning at UVic, the person in charge of the computing museum part of the college wanted to show us around, would you like to tag along if you're free?


Got dragged into interesting conversations today, I realized that a few people in my surroundings are at a loss when it comes to proofreading without complex toolchains, or an internet connection.

@rek has written an excellent little guide on how to install and use stardict! Give it a shot, it has been my go-to for years. The synonyms support is especially powerful.

@prahou Thanks! But honestly, I'm really quite happy with just the webster and the synonym dict.


You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

  • Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
  • C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
  • Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

Kodi is better with builds and add-ons.

in reply to It's FOSS

I think this needs a common Interface wäre stream plugins can hook Intoo so we have a common List with Shows and movies across all Streaming Services with search and thumbnails.
As long as pirate Services have the better use experience, this sucks.
I also think that the DVB integrations for linear tv suck. Also you need a android device to get proper 4k streaming enabled on certain services.



Eating ultra-processed #UPF #food like #palmoil 🌴 is damaging not only to #rainforest #ecosystems and 1000's of animals but also to people's #health 🤮 its connected to #obesity. Choose healthy, be #vegan #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social wp.me/pcFhgU-8SW?utm_source=ma…
in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

as much as I like your posts, this one is crap.

Asians use palmoil naturally & they're not obese & don't get cancer etc

Palmoil is only a problem because it's cheap & the Western food industry uses it because of its features. Thoses masses are responsible for deforestation etc

To frame it as bad for your health is almost racist. And it feels like fatshaming.

I am clearly for boycot palmoil but not with this arguments

Today's #calligraphy practice: this now-classic copypasta from @lynnesbian (CC4.0-BY-NC-SA)

I think this nib probably needs replacing, it keeps chewing up the paper and as you can see the fibres occasionally caught in the nib drag the ink on certain strokes like the tails of "h", "k", and "a". It is a Hunt 22, on the stiffer side, not capable of the dramatic changes in line width you get with a 101 or my beloved Leonardt Principal, but good for smaller writing.
