priming 7 Minis of the same unit takes an eternity. I am looking forward to how they'll look after, but not to how long it'll take me to repeat every step 7 times...
i want to respond to this so badly. how this is not backed by data. how corporations are not just this "developer". how quantification has hit everyone from marketing to sales to developers. but the tone of the post reflects sadness, frustration, what can you write then. better nothing "correct" gemini://johan.egneblad.se/why-should-users-trust-us.gmi
so I could paint miniatures and play tabletop, or I could write about it on Gemini and do nothing irl. tough cookie
I have come to the point I despise fontconfig. and how applications handle double width fonts. why is it so hard to limit the amount of glyphs in one font and specify a fallback? 😔
out of a mood I bought Ender Lillies on the switch, since Monster Hunter Rise doesn't receive much new content. it's a great Metroid game, with a ridiculous amount of content. but as all Metroid games, this ain't fun if you're not going back to places already visited. hope it stays this good
so I spent 3 evenings on 12 bases. drill a hole, magnetize, paint them, add the borders, glue the finished miniature on it and hope it looks great 😅... and boy do they look great. USAriadna as a can opener
just out of curiosity, is the whole circumlunar.space project abandoned? I haven't been around when Solderpunk decided to move on. but I get the feeling the colonies are all empty... and people moved on, including the maintainers
plugging a 1tb external 2.5" HDD into an rpi3 can lead to interesting issues. sometimes it just shuts itself off, goes to sleep. but only when monitor and keyboard are attached to the pi. presumably the power supply isn't enough 🤣
my capsules won't be available reliably from Friday 06:00 CEST to Saturday 18:00 CEST. most likely. the room I run my electricals in will undergo maintenance and construction 🏗️
I think geminispace is having a... vacation? when slow is having a slow week then I'll be on the brink of falling asleep 🤣
from time to time I spend a while on gemini://gemlog.blue and browse the logs. it's a time sink because it's not clear which of the accounts even has content. lately someone keeps adding random strings and posts a single game cheat sheet. offering free services has its problems
yesterday I learned about tildenic. someone a whole back, Maya maybe wrote that Gemini was gated. in a way, adopting tildenic for Gemini would make it a walled garden. and a part of me thinks this would be a great idea, especially since I wouldn't need to pay for tlds
if av98 had curses it'd be perfect I think. I tried to add curses today. I don't know if it's design didn't support it or if my python is so bad .... so I am pondering about building a full feature client in ruby. with curses. and minimal 🤦♀️
what's the obsession with sending and processing data within Gemini boundaries? another discussion on the mailing list. why isn't 1k characters enough and if you need forms and monetisation you can go the clearweb 😔
I moved my capsules onto floppy drives. except my image gallery. that one would be cheating, it has 6mb and who has 5 floppy drives in a single computer 🙈 source is here http://gem.antipod.de:8000/floppy
