Needing to dust off my cv (not touched in a decade) was a good excuse to take a look at Typst: a modern attempt at TeX. Pretty cool! https://typst.app/

@operand good news! Ikiwiki.info is an SSG which doesn’t (yet) support those markdown preambles (and isn’t too blog centric)

@aeva long live the new flesh

I don’t need another keyboard. Do I?

@argv_minus_one @arh @fabiscafe that’s a good point. And something I think we could potentially improve in Debian

@lispi314 @arh @argv_minus_one @fabiscafe can confirm. I took over maintenance of an awt-using Java program written in 2001 (it’s a doom-related thing). The original version still works as it did (I’ve added a lot since: https://jmtd.net/wadc/)

@arh @argv_minus_one @fabiscafe so which version of Alpha Centauri is “acceptable” to run on modern Linux: the 25 year old Loki games binary, or the similar-age windows binary under WINE? (Bonus question: guess which is easier!) Or is the correct answer neither: start a project to clone the game from scratch?

@tertle950 @fabiscafe @arh @argv_minus_one Debian is currently behind xscreensaver upstream by one version (6.08 versus 6.09). Jwz’s blog post was 9 years ago. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xscreensaver

I’ve released version 3.20250221 of ikiwiki http://ikiwiki.info/news/version_3.20250221/

New blog post: haskell streaming libraries https://jmtd.net/log/haskell_streaming/ #haskell #phd

Wow this thread (and its successors) couldn't be more in my interest-space:

@Nux neither have I: so long ago that i thought it was still a job for awstats! I’m curious to see how much bandwidth crawlers are wasting. Seems about 400MiB/day for me

Thank you for all the goaccess recommendations!

What’s recommended for local web log statistics these days?

really enjoyed “The Gorge” soundtrack https://soundtracks.lnk.to/thegorge #music

Canadian colleague pointed me at "Cream of Earl Grey" tea. I'm intrigued https://www.genuinetea.ca/products/cream-of-earl-grey-pyramid-tea-bags

It’s remarkably awkard to find centos stream containers. I wonder if anyone is using them

@jwildeboer I’m very fond of the kobo libra

TIL: there’s no /dev/stderr (or /proc/self/fd/2) in the execution context of a systemd unit.
