Fuckin’ “A.”

Good example of why I don’t rely on technology I don’t control. I want my workflow to be future-proof and have a predictable cost.

AutoHotkey. I’ve been meaning to try out AHK_X11 although I don’t think there’s a Wayland option yet :\

Oh and CorelDRAW. Inkscape is not bad but its UI is not quite as slick.

I think I got the art part settled: https://www.spriters-resource.com/ms_dos/doomdoomii/asset/27876/

If no one else does this, I think I might

If you’re referring to LinuxVox, it no longer works for me either. I’m pretty sure it’s an AI content mill anyway.

I’ve been noticing that more and more projects are being hosted on Codeberg lately. Some examples:

• Forgejo (The software that powers Codeberg!)
• HelixNotes
• Mineclonia
• Pay Respects
• SuperTux Advance
• Betula
• Nitropage

Wear Sunscreen

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, Sunscreen would be it

I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)

good bot

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.

I’m so dumb. I thought this was gonna be about “free as in beer” media

When I first decided to switch to Linux, I started exclusively using apps that were available on Linux. This way I was able to gradually transition my workflows one app at a time without any rush. When I was ready to install Linux, I did it on a new computer so I still had access to everything on the old computer and there was no risk of going computer-less if the installation went sideways.

Also, keep in mind that Asahi only works on M1 and M2 Macs. (If you have an old Intel Mac, you can just run normal Linux without Asahi)

Oh and Veronica Explains has a great video about her experience with Asahi.

Oh, well that’s nice of them

I imagine it’s just a more expensive version of “I wonder how realistically AI can render Will Smith eatting spaghetti”
