@edward thanks for the PSA, even if it’s bad news!

@Anarcat Fascinating idea. I'm planning on ditching Ikiwiki's native comments, but I'm not sure which way I'm going. Top of my list to try is <https://lobste.rs/s/byail8/static_html_comments>.

I've fixed my blog-to-toot workflow. Sorry for some noise.

I signed up for the "Bring Back Blogging" project (https://bringback.blog/), verified I was added to their list and… I've dropped off it now, no idea why, no contact from them, and no obvious way to flag it. Shrug. Shame

Today I learned some things about building and testing x86 on amd64. Especially test suites that invoke docker containers, and how that handles (or not) the situation

I got a “thank you” email today for a toy thing I built and released many years ago. It’s a lovely feeling and I guess doesn’t happen enough. I will pay it forward 2x

They should reissue wetrix on switch. I buy it in a heartbeat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetrix

@darth_mall @vkc @thomasfuchs for me, the big issue (still!) with CD ripping is verifying the rip. The cdparanoia approach is high confidence, slow rip, but no guarantee it is correct. Support for AccurateRip (best available solution imho) is still not common enough in FOSS rippers

I’ve been after a decent hex editor for a long time and I think ImHex could be it!

@joeyh are you coming to FOSDEM this year?

@highvoltage so it goes! thanks to you and anyone else who worked on getting it back up

I think my Fediverse host is back up?

@pwaring @cymplecy fair enough. I was curious whether it was their authorial voice or the book itself at fault. Their best known book is “roadside picnic” (the only I’ve read). It was pretty bleak too

@pwaring @cymplecy that’s on my to-read list (as all their books are). Have you read any of their others?

This Tate guy sounds like a Sacha Baron Cohen project

@pwaring it certainly is a console: i’m told you can plug a keyboard and mouse into it and run generic Linux software too, though.

@pwaring is a Steam Deck Linux on the desktop? It definitely plays AAA games. It’s definitely Linux. Is it not a desktop?
