I was thinking it would be nice if we had a thread for sharing our own websites/homepages. Woah, here's one now! Show me your netspace sushi!

Here's mine. It's a complete mess, but I like it. It's kind of new well, technically it's existed for a little while, but I only started working on it recently, so it's missing a lot of things, and there are a few links that 404. Though it's hosted on neocities, it's only slighty Lain themed.

I was thinking about making a website, and I had started making the content for it firstly because I think the content of my website would be much more important. It would be mostly about my favorite video games and the things I thought randomly about it, like shower thought kinds of things. Even if I never end up making the website, it's great to put into words things that I love about games or my own theories on games that I love. I'd have to play them again to remember what the hell I was thinking about, but I also type these things out nowadays.

It's no secret that excessive and unergonomic computer use is linked to debilitating health problems like RSI and CTS, sushis. This thread is for discussing good practices and ergonomic tools that can prevent or alleviate these problems.
Do you practice good ergonomics?
Do you use any ergonomically designed equipment? Many people swear by split mechanical keyboards and trackballs, but I've heard mixed reports about them. I have very stupidly been using my laptop keyboard for years and want to get a mechanical keyboard, but I'm not sure if ergonomic ones actually worth the extra cost.
Are there any stretches and finger exercises you've found useful?
Have you ever developed an injury from computer use? What helped your recovery? And if you didn't recover fully, do you do anything to minimise pain at the computer?

no problem sushi! they actually discontinued the extension a while back too because there's no need for it anymore. i don't think firefox enables https-only mode by default (i could be wrong), but it's in the settings under privacy and security

also worth mentioning:

- privacy badger is kinda useless with ublock origin (as far as i'm aware), since ublock blocks trackers too

- "i don't care about cookies" is also redundant with ublock. if you go to ublock's settings -> filter lists, there's a section for cookie notices. i don't think they're enabled by default but they're there.

also that extension got sold to avast a while ago. there's a community fork called "i still don't care about cookies", but again idk if it's necessary with ublock

- clearurls is also largely redundant with ublock. under filter lists, enable "adguard url tracking protection", and under custom, add this url:

What's a comfy position to read books? I used to like having pdfs up on the PC moniter because the text is nice and large and you can make notes at your desk, but sitting in a chair all day is uncomfy. Laying down and reading is nice but makes me feel sleepy and lethargic and there are no way to make notes.

I had problems with wrist pain for a while, but switching to a trackball fixed it. I used a kensington expert, it's only serviceable, part of the downside of using a trackball is that they're very niche so you're paying a premium for something that is kind of shitty and poorly designed. I like it a lot, though. I play Xonotic with and I do well enough, but I would switch to a regular mouse if I actually wanted to be 31337.
I was starting to have back problems, so I put together a standing desk and it's great. Other than that, switching away from keyboards with numpads on the right kept my shoulder from being bent outwards when using the mouse, or compromising by having the keyboard too far off to the left. I use monitor arms to keep all of my monitors at the correct height.

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.

hey sushis, is there any book/digital course that can teach me the basic of electronics from basic physics to knowing how to solder stuff?

LINUX'!!'
>what is it?
An operating system that respects your freedom
>why would I use it?
If you are tired of having your OS use you and always wanted to use your computer instead
>What do you mean by freedom?
Write your own programs. use source code from the internet in seconds. update when you want to not when it tells you.
Want to run a website? cool! you can set one up in minutes.
Want to adjust your hardware to your liking? Awesome!
Want to stop or make a new feature to a program you use every day? Go for it!

Its your computer! use it how you want!

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.

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.

Let's talk coding and software, sushis, because I don't do enough of it and I really should. Let's hear about projects you're working on, stuff your coding, learning. Trade secrets, info, tips, whatever. Programming isn't something that should be done alone in a corner.

I guess if we need a thread starter, I want to brush up on my coding skills. I want to find something to play around with, something not as mainstream as the stuff like Java and C, but will still be useful in a professional setting, something I can make usable stuff out of.

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'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.

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"

 No.2341

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.
