New build: a plugin for my keyboard-case to hold a (or any smartphone).

I would say it works well, but TBH it needs a counterweight to be a usable lap-top device.

@yaaps@banana.dog @alcinnz @neauoire finally moved off of and onto and I'm only paying $1 more than before. And even before October (at least, in my timezone).

Actually, updating to on was pretty easy
1. php occ db:convert-type pgsql nextcloud localhost nextcloud
2. (Disable some apps until that command worked)
3. ssh $OLD_SERVER pg_dump nextcloud | psql nextcloud
4. rsync data dir onto new server
5. Mess around with some config stuff
6. Update wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Next wiki page to be slightly more up-to-date

Watched last night: the movie about an going off-script against a massive studio... maybe I should get (back?) into . I don't play many single-player games, as coding is just more fun.

Migrating a site to from mysql/mariadb

1. Run migrations to create db structure
2. Remove single quotes from the database (and newlines/control characters, because why not). This allows mysqldump files to be imported into postgresql.
3. mysqldump --compatible=postgres --no-create-info --skip-add-locks $DB | psql $DB
4. Fix increments `ALTER sequence song_id_seq RESTART 12345;` (current versions of laravel use old-fashioned postgres increments)

I thought a fun thing to do would be to switch my main VPS to for more frequent updates (compared to ubuntu). (I run , a custom site, and some other simpler stuff) So far, I've started using , and also have been learning that migrating from mysql/mariadb to may have been too ambitious an idea.

LIMTAK: Linux In my Mobile: Tool Against Kludgery

A kludge is a makeshift solution to a computer problem. Time-based obsolescence (by outdated cas, un-upgradable emoji fonts) was a mistake baked into many software platforms. This tool frees us from it.

Hey fediverse! I'm called Zach, and yes, I love technology. Started coding as a kid writing games using , got into programming . Spent several years doing web development and some , looking to expand my skills and gain new experience.

Technology should (at least) do one thing well, and (necessarily) be there when you need it.

Another reminder that builds.sr.ht is awesome :)

I just want to mention, again, how useful and what a blessing songs.zachdecook.com is! I can only imagine the work that went into it, but it is very much appreciated, at least by me!
@zachdecook

anyone have an idea how could be modified to fade out the currently running app, so we could see our wallpaper?

background setting gave performance issues, so I'm thinking this approach will be better.
So far, I have

*{background-color:unset}

in gtk.css

@agx Did you know that in , you can slide your finger across the keyboard to type adjacent letters? (This is actually my favorite unique feature of the phosh experience).

@tbernard What do you mean by 'the editor that won'? Who defines winning?

I needed to `sudo modprobe uinput`. This is really promising, I bet someone running would be able to get it running faster because that supports splitscreen and doesn't.

I tried out -virtual-gamepads (github.com/jehervy/node-virtua
).

syscall crashes with after I select 'gamepad'.

but we'll call this 'promising'. probably will be easier to add support to than to try to wade through the levels of complexity to get to behave nicer under (it tells me unknown keyboard layout sometimes at compile)

Show thread

With the recent talk about support for some big apps, I wonder if there are any soft-gamepads that could work with on a device.

Any leads?

apparently it's also important to delete the old records... and also that the new records are correct.

Installed a new home router, and I guess it decided to get us a new IP address, so my gemini capsule is down while the new A record propagates.
