Well that was disappointing. Was all set to run my Savage World game on Roll20 and 3 of the 5 players had to cancel.

Any thoughts about decentralized ways to discover twtxt users? I’ve set up https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt which is my following list plus whatever comes in via user-agent. If everybody would set this up with the with an added .following we could fetch each others list and discover users that way.

My search forwarder https://codevoid.de/q=%s is now forwarding to the JS version of duckduckgo with a dark theme applied and safe search off. I’ve pretty much set my own preferences to it. If you prefer the html version, you can still just turn JS for DDG off and DDG will forward you. I find the html version totally usable, but it’s not customizable at all.

Translit is a little like bittorrent, if bittorrent used literally the same bytes for AMVs and trailers as for the corresponding scenes in the show/movie. Transcopyright is like assembling AMVs from your own DVD boxed set based on a list of instructions & leaving a gap if you’re missing a disk.

Areas of transience – the hyperspace of psychogeography – are not ‘non-places’ with ‘non-culture’. They have a uniquely warped kind of culture, in the same way tourist-dependent places do, except some people spend their lives in it (long haul truckers or jet-setting businessmen).

Quake for Oculus Rift
My Oculus Rift CV1 finally arrived last week, so of course I had to update my fork of the excellent Quakespasm engine for the new Oculus 1.4 API.

While I was at it, I also fixed a number of bugs, included support for the Rift’s headphones and the XBox One controller – I’d still recommend you play with mouse & keyboard, though. Controls are set up with reasonable defaults, but you can of course change everything in the options menu. There’s also … ⌘ Read more

Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.

You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.
