comments aren’t a thing with writefreely

What do you mean? You can look up any profile in the form of @blogname@writefreelyinstance.domain from apps like Mastodon, Friendica, etc…, see all posts, and comment regularly.
Is the fact that there’s no link or embed of the comment section at the bottom of the WriteFreely page that is bothering you, or am I not understanding?

On a side note: if you are really choosing how to build a blog (like it seems you are), and are not taking the first free managed hosting provider you come across…
I would think twice before using any server software instead of keeping your site static. Having a server software that’s more complex than simply serving static files will do more harm than good in the long run: more security flaws, you have to always keep the thing updated, higher resource usage, and hard to make your content survive the test of time (backing these things up is hard and when you do, you have a database file, not some plaintext ones)

Quando mai la zucca marca non si mette a rompere? a cambiare le API ogni settimana, quasi come YouTube… ma poi, mi sembra di ricordare che Instagram funzioni ancora con versioni di anni fa della app ufficiale. Che API usa? Bisognerebbe costruire un frontend su quelle. Forse la chiave è il fatto che si abbia un account? Non sarebbe difficile creare un frontend dove semplicemente, chi lo ospita (non chi visita), deve fare login con il proprio account per far funzionare il sistema.

Yes, see https://krita.org/en/about/kiki/

Sorprendentemente… Ho cercato e non ho trovato nulla? Forse perché progettare bene giochi di carte alla Magic non è facile. Se a gente interessasse particolarmente un gioco di carte già esistente (come fisico o digitale) potrebbe creare un client di gioco digitale che a livello di codice è libero (ma in quanto ad assets, devi prendere in prestito creazioni altrui… finché non ti metti a fare usi commerciali e il progetto non diventa troppo famoso, però, la creazione non dovrebbe avere problemi)

Is Kiki saving money to donate some to Krita developers??? 😳😳😍

Since this is all JavaScript there’s not really much to fork I think, you would need to write everything (not really a lot) from scratch

As I said though, the idea is nice, I could probably implement it as a new feature for my own static site generator, as a replacement to wiki-like footnotes (the concept I currently use to move additional information away from the content body)

The idea is nice, but it’s kind of sad that it requires JavaScript.
If it wasn’t designed for static sites with no pre-parser/compiler, this could be recreated with no JS, but just using the HTML5 <details> element and some CSS to draw boxes and realign stuff.

You gotta hate people that are different from you a lot, to be able to go as far as making a videogame mod like this, wtf

Hm yeah, does that make a difference with a decent CPU? On my current PC I’ve never noticed any difference, with or without drive encryption.

Based instance admin, based project admin, and based project developer

Miis actually look good compared to this, because their design is simple, kind of chibi, and doesn’t try at being too realistic or accurate

This is in the uncanny valley, Miis really aren’t

I’m glad a part of my devices still are micro USB-B…

I, on the other hand, can’t understand why, in a big part of the normie Internet sphere, the Metaverse has been hyped and appreciated so much - by the same people that don’t know Mozilla had basically already created the Metaverse, many years prior, with Mozilla Hubs.

Thanks for the tip, I will probably try it, I like that some of its shortcuts are similar to what GUI text editors use

Update: well, I just now discovered that tmux can actually be configured to more or less be what I like. Still missing a clickable new-tab button, but being able to click to switch between open tabs and having tab ribbons with a custom color is good enough for me. I’ll try to finish setting up my config then

Old message:

Maybe, that’s true on a desktop PC… but on mobile, oh well. Even with a physical full-qwerty keypad, it’s a lot harder to use what in this situation I wouldn’t call “shortcuts”.
You already have to move fingers around, better moving it to click a single, well visible, distinctly coloured button, than to aim at a specific modifier key that has the same color and is close to others, and then click another key to do the action.

I’ve been looking for some terminal multiplexer between yesterday and today but I can’t really find something that works as I like: something like GNOME terminal or Konsole, with simple clickable tabs, but it’s a TTY app instead of a GTK/Qt app, so it can run in any other terminal emulator.

I found Zellij which, if customized to only keep the tabs bar, could be a good solution.
It works on my PC, but it’s source is too heavy to compile on my server or even my smartphone…

I also found out about the amazing vtm, basically a full window manager that works in the terminal.
At the moment, it’s too mouse-focused to be fully used in a terminal emulator with only partial mouse emulation, like Termux, but, [un]maximizing windows and opening the side taskbar to navigate between windows works, so it’s at least usable. It’s included in the Termux repos, so I hope it will be easy to compile even on my server.
It has some things I don’t like, such as the fact that it forces is own dark theme - not ideal if you find yourself working on an LCD smartphone in an higly-lit environment, where light theme is basically a requirement to see anything. I will try forking it, to make it work with the standard terminal theme if possible, or a custom light theme. I will also try making some mobile improvements, like making the windows be maximized by default and the taskbar more easily accessible.

Unless someone knows of a TTY terminal multiplexer like I said I need it… just a clickable bar with open tabs, an open button, and close buttons… like any GTK/Qt terminal app, but with TTY rendering…

I already use hibernation on my desktop, actually - but I have to close some of my programs before hibernating or I will find the system is a super slow. Linux handles RAM and swap management, from my experience, a less well than what the current NT (the Windows kernel) does.

I already have a persistent USB drive with Puppy Linux and I really like it, but my uses for it are obviously different

I mostly use it at school to have a system that I like better than Windows, is more secure because only I have access to the file system, and I have all my files with me… but, no, absolutely not doable to boot into the thing every time I want to code.

I really like the UI, minimal but colourful!

The 20KB limit is just on your own server I hope, not an hard limit of the software, right?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I’ve looked a bit into it and if I understand, I can just install the VSCode server on the machine I will keep all my code on, and then use the VSCode client on a client device.

Seems OK to me, except for… do you know if VSCode being broken on mobile web browsers is a common issue? I’ve sometimes tried the online VSCode editor (github.dev, or the GitLab code editor, which are simply VSCode without a server) on Kiwi Browser (Chromium-based) and with OpenBoard (my preferred virtual keyboard) I have issues. Sometimes I can’t type anymore, some other times I can type but not delete with backspace, and a long-press to bring up the copy-paste menu stops working. I should try Firefox…

Update: well, I tried it, with code-server and it has many problems on mobile browsers. It’s Monaco Editor’s (the editor used by VSCode) fault, see https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/246.

Hovewer, I found this project, a web IDE that’s not VSCode but uses a patched version of Monaco Editor, that should work well with mobile: BLACKICEcoder.
If I can’t get a satisfying workflow with TUI text editors, I might try using this to edit code, and SSH to run it and have access to a terminal (which this does not include, unlike VSCode).

I found out that things like Replit (a SaaS-only, proprietary and not selfhostable, cloud IDE) use another editor, CodeMirror.
Unfortunately, I can’t find any ready-to-use selfhostable solution that has the text editor web client connect to a server, like code-server does for VSCode.

I already use Termux and SSH to administrate my server, sometimes I use nano to edit small scripts, but as I said, I don’t really like it… and vim for me would be even worse :c
As far as a terminal text editor goes, there are some which I would like to try but haven’t already. One of them if mcedit (included in Midnight Commander). I probably should try to use it as my main editor for a while…

Another problem of using just the terminal is that multitasking is not easy. Either you use the tab feature of your terminal emulator, which when using SSH is not really a good idea, or you’re pretty much screwed. I don’t know of any terminal multiplexer/wm that is not too focused on having so many keyboard shortcuts, I would like something with maybe a taskbar at the bottom and that’s it, you switch between consoles by clicking that (or using one simple shortcut).

But, yes, the idea itself of keeping stuff onto one server and just remoting into it seems good. I just need to find a software stack for that that I really like.
