@rl_dane Hmm...
I like the 500 char limit actually, vs a 5000 char limit; it means I run across shorter posts more often.
But I wish the limit was 1000 characters or 750 characters or something, as 500 just feels too small for me.
At any rate, I'm going to go with Fosstodon (for now, anyway), as I already have a Fosstodon account. I also have a Fosstodon sticker on the back of my laptop, LOL.
Next I'm gonna need a "my other computer is a Commodore 64" sticker...
@rl_dane Yeah... I want to self-host but I don't want to get DDoS'd or something either.
A friend I texted suggested I use an "isolated VLan", whatever that is. I've had enough trouble running a mailserver.
I think I'll just move to Fosstodon or BSD Cafe today. I can always reconsider. (Thanks for reminding)

@rl_dane It always bugs me... it feels like it wastes energy and puts unnecessary wear on the camera.
But I tend to use computers like we share the same pantry or something.

My programming journey mostly began with JavaScript + ProcessingJS library, and ever since then it's been a journey to get down to writing real software for a real computer. Everything nowadays is too complicated and mysterious, with the Intel Management engine and Web browsers and proprietary software and such (and Nvidia -- don't get me started). But finally I could have a computer that's honest and is just... a COMPUTER.

[From my YouTube comment on https://youtu.be/S2fGP59mJ5M]
This is a dream come true.
I am too young to have used a Commodore 64, but I have always wanted to better touch the Real Computer inside the case. I've always wanted a simpler computer I could understand, down to the core.
It can run in an extended mode with higher speed and more RAM!
And it has an Ethernet port and HDMI. Wow!
I'd happily pay $300 for this. *Especially* if I can play with my own designs on the FPGA. It would be such an amazing testbed for ideas if so.
This can't be happening. #Commodore is back?? https://www.commodore.net/product-page/commodore-64-ultimate-basic-beige-batch1
"Commodore has returned from a parallel timeline where tech stayed optimistic, inviting, and human."
"The first official Commodore 64 in over 30 years is here - a faithful recreation of the original motherboard on FPGA hardware."
I know this news is a few weeks old, but I'm just discovering this. This is the kind of thing I dream about.
@kzimmermann Absolutely!
@golemwire thanks for the clarification. But the threat remains nonetheless as long as you don't use Free Software.
I went on Mario Kart World last night and noticed something fascinating.
1. 21 people was the high water mark in my lobby, but getting into a lobby took about 1 minute whereas pre 1.1.2 it was about 5 seconds.
2. Said lobby had people with 8000VR and 3000VR when usually it’s closer to 8000VR and 6000 VR IME
3. The likelihood of an intermission being picked is inversely correlated by VR. Basically, the worse you are at the game, the more likely you are to pick an intermission track.
On net it does seem like World has fewer people online in Worldwides and the game is hiding it by increasing the skill difference between players.

@pleasestop Ahahha-hhahh
in case it's useful, you can also toggle boolean options within less(1) so if you want to toggle case-sensitive searching, you can type
-i
or if you you want to toggle line-wrap
-S
or squeezing blank lines
-s
or search highlighting
-G
-g
etc. No need to quit and restart it just to toggle an option you forgot.
modern operating systems: if you're lucky there's a youtube video tutorial on this feature
unix/linux cli: here, have a detailed text document you can read and refer to at your leisure
Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/
