Introducing vger.social: A lemmy instance for Voyager supporters šŸ’™
  • beehaw.org is considering switching to Sublinks and I wonder if its API compatibility with Lemmy is enough for voyager

  • Touch a file in Linux
  • most shells will accept outputting from a silent command to a file, e.g. :> foo.txt (where : is the posix synonym to the true command)

  • 2023 Annual Rust Survey Results | Rust Blog
  • vim in second place let's goooooo šŸŽ‰

  • AoC Input fetch tool (Rust)
  • Nicely done! I have a CLI tool that does sth similar (input download, answer submissions): https://github.com/tranzystorekk/arrive

  • What have been your favorite or most memorable Advent of Code challenges from previous years?
  • Oh boy, how can i forget 2019 and the whole series of "intcode" challenges!

    You had a growing specification of a sorta-pcode virtual computer, opcodes, etc. Your input was the titular intcode, a list of integers representing instructions and you had to execute that code and use that execution to solve the bigger challenge, e.g. play a simple one-sided Pong!

  • Cosy, brainless games when you're sick
  • I enjoy a casual session of Townscaper once in a while, this feels really close to home :3

  • Cosy, brainless games when you're sick
  • I played The Longing when I wasn't sick, but the pacing felt worse than sluggish, so it was a quick refund.

  • Cosy, brainless games when you're sick
  • Probably should mention Fugl

  • Cosy, brainless games when you're sick

    Iā€™m trying to get through an unpleasant cold, do you have title recommendations for a half-dead, bored brain?

    I just finished Roadwarden before getting sick, but the amount of text and story is a no-no. Possibly a somewhat cutesy game where I can just do a few brainless clicks now and then would be perfect.

    Simple alternatives to Adler Notes
  • This looks like a strong contender! Thanks!

  • Simple alternatives to Adler Notes
  • I wasn't precise, I meant many apps force some kind of rich-text editor that feels clunky and unnecessary, that's what I want to avoid.

    Since I'm already using NextCloud, NextCloud Notes seems like a good fit, I'm wondering how I missed it...

  • Simple alternatives to Adler Notes

    I've been using Adler Notes for a while, mostly because the feature set is simple enough (cloud sync, text notes, lists).

    It only syncs to Google and Dropbox though, so I'd love sth that's:

    • FOSS
    • Similarly simple and minimalistic
    • Syncs with NextCloud
    • Preferably doesn't cram unnecessary features like handwritten notes, gratuitous markdown, etc.

    Graphical IRC client recommendations
  • I was hesitant to use thelounge because of the self-hosting part, but it seems is fairly straightforward to spin up an instance even with just free fly.io resources

  • Graphical IRC client recommendations
  • Googling 'irc client' is always a "blast to the past" adventure

  • Graphical IRC client recommendations
  • I did give irssi a spin but it seems Cinny has spoiled me šŸ˜…

  • Graphical IRC client recommendations
  • I'm using it atm, but it really feels like there should be sth more, well, FOSSy

  • Graphical IRC client recommendations
  • It does, but the matrix bridge can be a bit unstable, and I wanted a native experience anyway :P

  • Graphical IRC client recommendations

    I spend a sizable portion of the day on IRC and was wondering what your setups are.

    I'd love sth with UX and UI similar to Cinny, so far only irccloud has brushed close enough for me.

    Made a small sound visualizer demo
  • Sound capture was a major pain point here šŸ˜… I had to hardcode an alsa loopback device identifier, and beyond that it's very manual - loading alsa's loopback kernel module, connecting my music player to the pipewire device and such

  • Made a small sound visualizer demo
  • Thank you! I've made small tweaks since posting, like adding config flags to CLI, for instance --style fill will display "filled" bars instead of "striped":

  • Am i missing out if I dont use an IDE?
  • I think there are two key aspects to IDEs:

    a) the larger the codebase and the less familiar you are with it, the more of a nightmare it will be to hunt bugs or search places to insert code; this is where an IDE becomes extremely helpful by e.g. letting you search a struct across multiple modules, showing lints, compiler errors etc.

    b) IDEs are only as helpful if they can be configured with your codebase, and sadly there are probably numerous codebases that won't play nice and let you crate a working config

  • Made a small sound visualizer demo
    codeberg.org spectroscope

    Demo terminal sound visualizer

    spectroscope

    I have been tinkering with sound visualizing recently and this is the result :3
