Hello from a Raspi 400. Running GUI apps in a console takes me back to the 90s, to the good (bad) old days of MS-DOS. It's cool that it's still a thing that's possible to do, 30 years later! Lagrange could use a few tweaks for this environment, though: - no way to change the screen resolution except via editing prefs.cfg - mouse cursor is not always redrawn when it's moved (SDL bug?); keyboard navigation for the whole UI would be nice - can't switch VTs as SDL catches all the keys (maybe unfixable?) - needs some sort of file picker UI since drag-and-drop is unavailable

skyjake.fi is up and running again. Turns out the problem was not as dire as I feared. There was a loose power cable blocking the CPU fan from turning, which was causing the CPU to overheat. The cable must've been near the fan already since it's been rattling, but the hard knock pushed it in fully. Hopefully nothing got damaged while it was running at max temp for a few hours without a fan...

⚠️My server skyjake.fi suffered a hardware malfunction (fan) and I had to shut it down for now. This means my capsule and the Mastodon instance will be offline for a while, until I relocate the services or fix the broken fan. Lagrange continues to be available via Codeberg and GitHub in the meantime.

A cool thing I managed to do this week was to install OpenBSD on an external drive and run it on real hardware. Quite a bit nicer experience than running inside a choppy VM. This was my first time running a real BSD on my PC. I found and fixed a few bugs for Lagrange v1.6.4 with this setup. The only problem was that—of course—my RTX 2080 and 5K monitor were not detected correctly, so I was stuck on a squished 1280x1024. It was striking how quickly your eye's adapt to the aspect ratio... When looking at normal 1:1 text afterwards, everything looked extremely narrow and stretched in the opposite direction.

A quick gemlog post about why there are some rough edges with text input in v1.6. @gnuserland gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-08_complexity-of-input.gmi (I think my Gemlog Booster is working as intended; it's super convenient to make posts via Lagrange.)

Lagrange v1.6 release party! 🎉 gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-07_lagrange-1.6.gmi Already found a bug... Copy-pasting in the text editor seems to paste too much text. 😄

A few weeks ago I bought a Kobo ebook reader, thinking that I would use it to write some custom apps for an e-ink display. Instead, I've been rediscovering the joy of reading books on a non-LCD/OLED screen. The combination of a purpose-built, distraction-free device and a paper-like display is really working for me. (Amazon-free is also a major bonus.) Currently reading scifi. I really liked Andy Weir's "Project Hail Mary", and now I'm continuing with the Expanse series. I read Expanse book 1 a few years ago but for reason didn't continue to book 2 although I quite liked the first one.

An idea for Station @martin Add a page that shows a particular user's logs in the tinylog format. Then we could use tools like gtl to follow fellow capsuleers. https://codeberg.org/bacardi55/gemini-tinylog-rfc

New Lagrange iOS TestFlight build! I'm quite happy with how the new swipe navigation is turning out. Trying to browse a larger set of feed entries was quite cumbersome, but now you can just swipe back to return to the Feeds list (i.e., it re-opens the sidebar). Some more details in the gemlog post. gemini://skyjake.fi/gemlog/2021-06_testflight.gmi The Identities sidebar is destined to be moved to Settings, with some kind of new UI for selecting the active identity.

Installed the iPadOS 15 developer beta 1 on my iPad. Apart from a few glitches it seems to work pretty nicely. I'm typing this message from Lagrange on the iPad with an external keyboard. Was surprised to see that all the keyboard shortcuts just work! Thanks to SDL for that. 👏 Oops, after switching to (iPadOS) split view mode with Safari on the side the input widget lost the ability to insert new characters. Gotta debug a bit to see what's up with that. The TestFlight build is getting a bit old so I'll need to update it anyway.

Enjoying (?) a trip to the summer cabin! Pros: Lakeside grilling in the pleasant warm evening. Cons: 2-yo son projectile vomiting on the sofa. At least the dog is still mostly behaving.

If anyone wants to test multiline text input on iOS, there's a new TestFlight build available: 1.4 (7). The iOS keyboard is so fiddly that I've set the sw keyboard "return" key to insert a line break by default instead of sending the request. This may still change if I figure out how to modify the keyboard. Other updates include an improved Settings view and of course split view (for iPad).

Oh dear, I've had 3x my normal amount of coffee today. This will definitely not help with reaching my sleep goal tonight, but on the other hand, I'll probably end up redesigning some view transitions in Lagrange for iPhone.

Augh, I was baffled why the Station notifications page wouldn't open (just redirected me to "/"), but turns out I had accidentally selected another cert for the notifications URL. Lagrange's UI wasn't communicating this in any way... Have to invest some time into making it clear which certs are used on the current domain. PS. This multi-line text editor is quite luxurious. 😊

Testing Multi-Line Input I'm working on an improved text editor for Lagrange v1.5. It expands as you write text, and newlines can be inserted, too. Let's see if these newlines are preserved. Testing 1 2 3 Another line and a third one.

I wonder if Station notifications could be listed as a gmisub page (maybe at a separate URL), so clients could subscribe to see them? At least Lagrange supports client certs when checking feeds.

@martin Great job creating this site! The new split modes in Lagrange v1.4 will be very useful for navigating here. 😉
