** of array programming, lightsabers and some thoughts on permacomputing **
A bit of this and that, some kind of mishmosh.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been reading a lot about array programming systems like J, K, Q, APL, and BQN. I’ve been intending to add a page to the wiki about them, but havent gotten to that yet. Consider this a little promise that I’ll do that sometime soon. I’m interested in array programming less because I think it’s particularl … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love ‘exotic’ computers, especially riscv. But one of the most prized computers I have is the Lemote Yeeloong, Loongson mipsel laptop - http://web.archive.org/web/20151220055337/http://www.lemote.com:80/en/products/Notebook/2010/0310/112.html , very cool machine, I cannot part with that one, gonna put in in my coffin when I die. Got a hold of it about 10 years ago, cost a lot, but it was worth it. I run openbsd on it, and have to compile everything on it. took over 2 weeks to compile sylpheed email client on it LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s mostly ready now I feel, got a lot done, so I’ll focus on getting it out there this week, A bit busy the next days, but I’m sure I’ll find time to get it uploaded and hosted on my VPS so that others can use it as well.

Too lazy or too ambitious?
Today was the second day of my “Hell Week”. Not because my week is so bad, it is after all holidays and time off, no, because I have arrived in the last week of the “Training Journey” at Freeletics. At the end of the Journey, the “coach” requires training every day, usually a so-called “god workout” in addition to warm-up and cool-down. ⌘ Read more

@funbreaker@yn.vern.cc Hi! I have attached the current screenshot, as you see it’s not done yet, I need to add some things, but a lot of work is already done.
I will fix the remaining things and try to make it usable enough this week so that I can upload the source.
Need to add the remaining reply button, image loading and width of the text etc first.
I had that in the FLTK client, so I just need to add it to this new GTK gui.

Here is what I had with FLTK

I think that activitypub in yarn is a great feature! And also one of the easier ones to set up and get going.
And as I said last week - I think it’s a important features - and will drive adoption.
It is optional as well - so if one does not want it - just not turn that feature on.

I personally was missing the fact that I could not easily follow others before you added activitypub, but now I can choose to follow them, which is great.

The company I work work added a hybrid solution after covid restrictions lifted, we can work x amount of days a week from home.
Which was a great solution. Covid proved that everyone could work from home and still meet the project demands.
Personally I prefer the office, even if I have to be there alone (I worked for months alone there). But I also like the flexibility when I need it.

I bought a 256GB usb a couple of weeks ago, I now want a OS on it with persistent storage.
I only have 1 drive on my newest laptop at the moment, so I do not want to dualboot and such, so a os on the usb stick is a nice option.
