Whoah! Void has i686-musl target!
I've always thought that musl doesn't work on 32-bit Intel (because Void doesn't offer installation media for this target🤭), 32-bit PowerPC is supported and I've always wondered why Intel isn't. Looks like they just don't offer it to save build time or whatever.
Now I have to decide, whether I wan't to spend time building binaries for one more targer myself just to use musl — on one hand sounds attractive, but fixing build issues might be a hassle 🤔

Oh my! My Perlmutter instance had been offline for a few hours and I have just noticed that now 😅

@Mojeek Can you improve the way your main page looks in w3m. Rivalling (or maybe not?🤔) search engine named after certain buoyant birds does a really good job with theirs.
No, you can leave the links intact, I'm not some "below 4kb" purist — but at least make the input field the first thing you see, so you don't have to navigate to it.
I mean, I can always bookmark something like mojeek.com/search?q=%20 — in this case the search field is on top, but I think that it's not the right way™ to do it.

Okay, now I do feel myself like a niche Internet microcelebrity or one of those popular high-school girls 😅
All all takes to fulfill the self… (appreciation?🤔) something goals is to not touch the damn phone for the whole day 🤪

I find it funny how badly designed 2011 MacBookPros were, I'm cross-compiling cups for my PowerPC machine now and as there is no Void binary repo for PowerPC it involves building a lot of stuff from source, right now it's building LLVM so it can truly utilize 100% CPU. And guess what? Its running off the battery! 🤯
They've put a CPU in this thing that 85W power supply can't sustain! And I'm not using the discrete GPU now — because it's fried, theoretically it could be even worse than that!

The day has finally come! We have shitposts on Gemini 😁

Don't come any closer, filthy skewrl 🐿!
Deez nuts are for Fedi only, not for you!

Enjoy your vintage computers properly, preferably while touching grass. Well, not much grass here, just a pile of rotten sticks 😒

"C'mon, lie down here and chill with us, these computars ain't going nowhere"
😹

Check this out, I'm using Perlonmer in surf on a vintage ThinkPad with only 512 Mbs of RAM. It's slower than a dead snail rolling downhill from Fuji mountain, but nothing's impossible 🐌
Maybe I should even register for that challenge and write reports about these things in my gemlog. I'm using hardware like this daily anyway 🤪

— It's SDL time!
— No, Void, no!

And I have just cleaned the XBPS cache on this computer as there was not enough space to upgrade all packages 😩
Good thing, I have another x86 Thinkpad with old version of SDL2 package — not everyone's that lucky.

Whoah, I've found a way to workaround the problem with wireless adapter, and I don't even have to reassign IRQs, looks like it shares it with video adapter and all to takes is "xset dpms force off" to turn the display off so it can associate with the network, after that it works fairly consistently. I did notice earlier that it often succeeds when left alone for extended periods of time — so that is why 😂
Well, I have another nice old machine at my disposal. Too many of them TBH 🤪

Like with every other music genre, I prefer darker sound, here is what I usually go for when I'm in the mood for breaks-based music: https://christophdebabalon.bandcamp.com/album/044-hilf-dir-selbst
This isn't even remotely drum'n'bass, breakcore I think — but this is what I like.
TBH I was a little disappointed when he released one of the tracks (Cool Priest I think) before releasing the complete album and even on my first listen of it all — it doesn't have 8 minute long dark ambient-like pieces and overall sound is more simplistic than his usual, but it somehow grew on me. He's a true master of this genre — as dark and brooding as ever.

BTW, sorry, man, I didn't give you any feedback on last two mixes, but I didn't really have a chance to listen to them properly — just can't get myself into a state to do something undistracted for over an hour.

Looks like font.size.systemFontScale is gone in Firefox 105 and everything is smol again. There might have been a lot of incentives for removing it — breaking screenshooting feature for one, if the var vas set to anything but 100, screenshot region wasn't scaled accordingly and you got cropped screenshots or empty space around what you wanted.
Now there is ui.textScaleFactor that does the same and works, but screenshots are still skewered. What was the point then? 🤔

Don't even bother trying to become as popular on Fedi as you were on Twitter! We have a well-established food chain here, competition is harsh 😼

@mjdxp What's called AI today isn't exactly new — neural networks were there all the time (I've been using libfann for OCR myself 15 years ago or so), it's just that computing resources and huge data sets weren't where. People still like what NN can do, what they don't like is mass surveillance and large scale data collection — the things companies kept pushing all the time. They've just tried to give it a new "AI" flair and some people kinda liked that. Now they have realized that it's same old and they don't like it anymore.
Same with cryptocurrencies — the idea is awesome, it allowed people to have currencies outside of central banking system, but they've never been used in this regard — only as an intermediate payment system. Most of it is petty trading: spend $1, gain 2 — lose 20 tomorrow, when people fuck up with that and they want some sort of regulation as a safety net and this takes us to square one.
The technologies aren't themselves bad, they are just prone to being used in wrong ways — that is what made some of us skeptical since they were just getting started to be adopted.
For example, I like fingerprints readers — it's better than password for unlocking computer, if someone wants to get in real bad — neither will stop them alone. But I don't want it to be used to protect more sensitive data — for computer that you're using to shitpost that will do, but not for accessing your bank account, and I definitely don't want biometric data to be stored outside of my computer — once that gets stolen, you're fucked: you can't change your face or fingerprints as easily as you can change your password.
