bell labs is pretty close to far beyond alien civilization technology though…

Oh I completely forgot about this

I was halfway through designing a fake CDE-styled login page, then I failed to fit it in mobile browsers and then I got distracted.

The file is still sitting there https://aesistril.com/login.html

So initially, this login.html was the homepage and home.html was to be reached by clicking a button on this page.

When I scratched the login page idea, I just renamed index.html -> login.html and then linked home.html -> index.html

Well I could’ve just renamed home.html but I am way too UNIX-headed for that. Lets say its a symbolic link so I could change the homepage easily in the future

If you want something boring, use a static site generator like Hugo. But you already said you found them restrictive

I built my previous site with Ruby Mustache, an extremely simple templating thing. But I abandoned it because it got hard to maintain.

My current site is plain HTML and CSS. This is the way if you want ultimate customizability. It works pretty good and I would recommend it. Simpler is better.

Remember: Having a website was one of the ways people communicated on the net back in the day. HTML and CSS are intended to be used by regular people, they are very easy to learn. Don’t be scared of them

There is no decent WYSIWYG html editor i know of

My site

Git repo for my current site

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Why would anyone prefer win32 over linux or for that matter, any other unix api? Especially if you are coding in C

update for people who came across this thread: went with kanidm. it is awesome

I am the sysadmin of our university’s formula student team. Worked great for about 60 people

I mean… I think they are just stating they don’t want to take reponsibility.

But from what I understood, it’s a frontend and most of the heavy lifting is done by popular libraries. Should be okay

Besides, it is open source and has about 500 stars on github. There probably has been a lot of security researchers who reviewed in with hopes of finding a vulnerability.

No way you haven’t seen that legendary video

As I said in my other comment, contrib. over github is already not accepted. And yes these are humans not bots. Pull requests were already filled with bizarre stuff for years before this started

It’s just some silly fun.

Linux kernel does not accept contributions from github so this repo was always like that

The only new thing here is this

May I introduce you to my savior, BTRFS

Device is set to power saver in this picture but I must say power saver doesn’t seem to be doing much. I don’t notice a reduction in performance nor see a improvement in battery life.

I just leave that on power saver if I am not doing anything resource hungry. Possibly out of habit

I am daily driving a Surface Pro 9

Drivers are okay. I had some problems with screen freezing but these were fixed easily with some kernel params.

With a full battery, I get 6 hours coding in C with VSCode and some browser tabs or 5 hours of YouTube playback. You’ll get about 8-9 hours if you are doing something like writing text

Gnome is fantastic for this form factor. Especially libadwaita stuff, as their HIG plays very nice with touchscreens.

A powerbank will give you practically infinite battery for a whole day. I love this machine so much…

God I wish ARM had a standard…

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK

I absolutely lost it the first time he called me a nerd for using Arch and straight up started doing Fedora elitism lmao
