Pretty cool website! Anilist link is ded, though.
Savoie Libre !

>>1900
Glad you enjoyed it.

>>1901
Thanks for letting me know, I changed my username some time ago and I forgot to update the link.

I hope this isn't too much of a necro. I've decided to start sharing my site with someone other than my friends. As such I thought that I'd share where I lurk from time to time, that is here!

Anyways, the site is https://cabin.digital it's just my little blog where I dump stuff when I remember I have it. It also has a HTTP only, no CSS version (both this and main site also don't use JS) for older browsers, it's: http://retro.cabin.digital

I generate them using my own tool written in Go (to learn Go) and CSS and HTML templates are also by me! I hope you like it, feel free to give me any feedback (as long as you're constructive I guess :P )

P.S. It's a bit^h^h^hlot sucky that sushigirl bans TOR nodes :(

cool site sushi!

Here's my desktop

I love this image so much

This is my lock screen

And my current wallpaper.

Computer science and occult research are basically the same thing to me :D

This is really cool, can't believe it's made in godot of all engines.

hey there sushis i've been pedaling back and forth on deciding on a project to fully commit myself too, I was hoping y'all could give me some advice. for some background on my experience, I did one of those free 10 hour python courses that pretty much copies Eric Matthes' python crash course. this was my introduction to programming. i then tried SICP but never finished it, but i plan to start working through it again now that I've successfully set-up doom emacs on my system (am a basic vim user). the only other thing i've done that i could really consider a project would be running linux as a desktop system for as long as i have.

anyway, i'm currently stuck with a lot of ambition to start working on projects that aren't just hacking around on some popular linux project (i have some experience hacking on awesomewm and neovim) but i'm stuck trying to decide /what/ specifically to try out. here are my ideas:

#1 probably the most straight forward would be to make a videogame. something simple and short, i'm a big fan of horror gamees and i've always wanted to make one. i'd likely make it in godot. the main issue i have is that i may end up spending more time on the visuals and assets than on the actual programming.

#2 would be to get into web development. my main issue there is that i think i'd be kind of perfectionistic about my website and wouldn't be able to put the project down (even if it got in the way of university work) until i got it to a place where i was satisfied with.

#3 would be to start playing through one of those longer CTFs with multiple levels. i recently joined a hacking group (not the illegal kind) and i think it might be good for me to learn CTF skills since apparently, it's something they do in the group alot. i've only had experience completing the forensics part of picoCTF, is picoCTF worth working through or should i skip to something more challenging?

any help or stories would be appreciated, would like to know how y'all sushis started out :3

this looks really cool sushi! i'm glad to see great things are already coming out of the yuri jam 2024. i'll check this out when i get home later :)

also, turns out i do have a project. forgot that i'm also working on a yuri jam visual novel (in renpy) where my partner for the project is handling all the visuals and story (i'm handliPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

If you're going to jump into video game making, it's always harder than it seems. Pick a small goal first, something like pong or breakout. And focus on gameplay not art, if the goal is to learn programming.

Also consider learning low-level stuff, even if you won't use it, the understanding what your high-level code runs on and does will still matter.

Good luck, have fun!

Hi I just spent 15 hours sitting in front of the computer hunched over with my head facing a monitor to my right. It's bedtime now and it doesn't hurt yet. But it will.

>>2352
this is propaganda, you can use multiple modal editing modes on emacs, including evil (vim emulation)

>>2386
I'm a Neovim user, and I wanted to transition to Emacs since it has great plugin support. However, it's just a lot slower than nvim. I could also use terminal emacs, but I think this loses some of the benefits that you get from a GUI interface that I am looking for anyways.

Used this for work, now taken it back home. Highly recommend. But for gaming I'm having normal mouse.

>>2388
i need my gaming mouse.

>electron
>fairly lightweight

pick one (i still use it tho)

>>2349
>obviously not with imageboards
You can use w3m to show images in the terminal. Just launched it on WSL to my surprise.

Apparetly I could even post from it. Let me see.

Save and post images…
Well there could be troubles with captcha though.

>>2391
That was the preview, I think i have to save by link…

Check out using aspirin on the wires. The wires are sometimes coated in resin which won’t allow the wires to conduct electricity. Ganbare!!!

>>2374
I’m genuinely too stupid to do stuff like this, I would probably burn myself if I attempted it

I designed and ordered my first PCB. It's for an EEPROM programmer, well, more of a USB Mass Storage "stick", but it lets me use UNIX tools like dd to do programming.
I wrote a blog about if if you're curious: https://cabin.digital/log/m68k/eeprom.html

your solder job was clean. how did you make it so?

>>2384
Not sure what you mean, but my soldering is mediocre. High temp (~350°C) low time, make sure to heat both pad and pin. I use rosin core leaded solder and pretty thin gauge of it since I only work on stuff like this, and not power stuff. This let me have a good control of how much I add. (And I need to add a lot of solder quickly I can always braid it.) There are plenty of good tutorials on youtube. I remember seeing an old 60s or whatever soldering vid from US, that was fun and full of good tidbits.

bazzite sucks on desktop. it's good on the deck though.
i went back to arch on my desktop anyways

I like Linux. I used to dabble in it with my old computer (that's now dead). It gave it a lot of life before it eventually died. I currently use a Windows comp for gaming and a bit of browsing, so I'm mostly on Windows. If I were just browsing, I'd probably use Linux. I like the idea of freedom and the concept of the computer as a hobby as well. I'm not too much into using the most lightweight distro and programs and such that other Linux users seem to be into, but I think Linux is a good step into getting privacy back and taking back the internet from big companies. It definitely brings a lot more competition. I think a lot of people can afford moving to Linux if they don't require programs that specifically need Windows to function (for like, work or school). I think I did some school work on a Linux OS.

anyone here ever used public access unix systems (pubnix) such as sdf.org or tilde.club? I figure it's relevant to this thread since they're running linux or some bsd flavor.

>>2380
I am in tilde.club

I should have written a bit more, lol.
I am making my personal website there. They also have a webring of all the sites, most of which are abandoned, but there are a few good-ish ones? They have very little content for the most part, quite unlike neocities where people make an effort to make really good sites.
You also get an email address in there, and there is an "email club" where you can sign up to get mail from others in the club… I haven't gotten any so far, but I guess I should start by sending one myself. I wonder whether most of those who signed up are still active.
The irc is not quite dead, but it has a very few active users.
Besides html it also gives you a gopherhole and a gemini capsule. In http you can use a few languages to make cgi scripts, among them perl, tcl and common lisp (sbcl), and of course, bash.
I joined because I actually want to try and make a little mud on common lisp, and a pubnix server is exactly the platform to do that.

I've been programming full-time for 5 years as a full stack web developer, usually working with the Spring/Angular/Mongo stack.

If I can offer any useful advice, feel free to ask!

Aaaah! Its been two months and I didn't even touch it!

I still don't get this groupoid interpretation of identity types. What are those so-called non trivial elements besides identity ?
It's also not clear to me what univalence brings on the table. Is it just another formalism to do synthetic homotopy theory without having to define infinite groupoids from sets ?

I am thinking of getting back to programming. I have a couple ideas. On one hand I'd like to write interactive fiction, probably using inform. On the other hand, I'd like to try and use webgl to make interesting computer graphics using GEOMETRY and LINEAR ALGEBRA!
I'll probably do the latter.

I'm 2 years late, but the pic is not gibberish at all. It's asking for the cohomology ring of n-dimensional Real Projective Space (Here it's notated by P^n(R) but as a topological space it's notated by RP^n) with coefficients in Z/2Z which is the field of 2 elements. (Computer scientists here might also recognize Z/2Z as the intergers modulo 2 or the group acquired by the XOR operation on the set {T,F}. The field can be easily obtained from the group.)
I don't even know where to start in explaining everything I just said but just know that it's real math, specifically a part of algebraic topology).
Feel free to throw yourself into a math rabbit hole if you're curious about the arcane language I'm speaking in.
The answer to this pic's question by the way would be that "H*( RP^n ; Z/2Z) is isomorphic to to the quotient ring Z/2Z[x] modulo the ideal generated by x^{n+1}" or more compactly "H*( RP^n ; Z/2Z) ≅ Z/2Z[x]/(x^{n+1})".
Algebraic topology surprisingly has an application in data analysis although it is extremely niche.

what is it? im interested in knowing more

Can't you like go to inspect element and then in the elements console do a ctrl+f for ".mp4", which is usually attached to the direct video link, copy that and then right-click + "save video as…"?

Or are we talking about one of those websites that makes everyone's life hard? Because those are usually the mainstream sites and in that case I have to ask if you're really sure it's "lost media"

just because a video is hosted on a mainstream video streaming site doesn't mean it's not an endangered file. i lost my favourite (fan made) music video coz i didn't back up my music video downloads and when i went to find it again on youtube it was gone.

i doubt there is another copy of most videos on youtube and once it goes away you'll never see it again. you should always download everything you want to keep and then make backups.
