This module provides go bindings for sqlean. It is compatible with the popular mattn/go-sqlite3 driver.

Quickly design and test ActivityPub objects with mock servers of popular projects like Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Thanks, just in time.

I am tired of hierarchical FileSystems. They grow into big messes over time (LimitsOfHierarchies). Let's discuss alternatives. Some have suggested using various kinds of databases so that one can query or view based on a wide variety of potentially orthogonal traits.

The C2 Ancients have good ideas.

P. S. Trying to save this page in Betula shows how bad and unfriendly the new “design” of WikiWikiWeb is.

Подробная карта распространения борщевика. Полигонами отмечено где растет борщевик Сосновского. Карта необходима для планирования борьбы с борщевиком

Борцы с борщевиком России! Статистика, руководства, призывы.

Туту пишет отличный обзор про борщевик. Я же говорил, что меня очень впечатляет образ борщевика?

The author's phone lost cellular connection so he wasn't always available anymore. The article lists his worries about that.

Very rarely I get an opportunity (it's an opportunity now) to be offline. It's always fun.

How Go is kept boring. And they canceled Go 2.

A home on the internet.

In Paris, they turn shopping carts into mobile corn cooking stations. Looks fun.

An overview of Tetris randomizers.

The 7-bag has a consistent piece output, making it more predictable. It’s easy to know where in a bag you are, and when a piece you need might come. Because of how predictable this random generator is, it’s actually possible to play forever. Overall it’s a silly system that makes you wonder how it ever became the official randomizer.

It's actually why I like that randomizer!

I should try out TGM3.

Funny part: the illustration for the 7-bag features wrongly-coloured tetrominoes.

In a city, you can find harvestable plants if you look hard enough. This is true. In Ufa, I've seen apple trees, for example. The author invites readers to learn more about it. Maybe I will.

Too big of a screen might end up with unproductivity.

A NodeJS application that aggregates items from your RSS and Atom feeds into an E-book.

The dominant use of personal computers in the 21st century is the functional simulation of non-computers.

Today I spent unnecessary hours chatting online. It could've been... a visit to a bar? Do I have to drink every day? A park? Huh? Where do people talk nowadays? And at winter?

Then I watched some moving pictures. Sure, it could've been a video disk. But the moving pictures I watched would probably never get to me here, in a less-computer world.

Then, I've read some posts in Solderpunk's gemlog. It could've been a book which I don't think would've read.

Then I saved it to this Betula. What would I do elsewise? Cut the article from the book? Rewrite? Hmm, there is photocopy. Oh wait, I don't make copies of content in Betula (although it's a planned feature), I merely comment on them. Yeah, it could've been a notebook. No search though. And no RSS...

I'm not sure I want a world with less computers. Maybe just a little less.

Solderpunk came up with a different way of portraying the future of humanity in sci-fi. Slowly move everybody to one continent. Most people live in 50 megacities. We live and degrowth as long as we can. A fun concept. I myself like space conquering more, to be honest. Maybe combine the two?

A different Bionicle story reference. I like the name.

The Official Webcomic by Tracy J Butler

The game!

A mod for Bionicle Mata Nui Online Game that improves stuff without introducing anything new. When I want to play MNOG (and that day will come), I will play this version.

Statusbar app to quickly toggle between light and dark modes

I might want to use it in the future. Now, I just bind the following script to something:

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell appearance preferences to set dark mode to not dark mode'

Solderpunk calls us Netscape orphans.

List of links about ActivityPub development. I'll need that.

After four years, Honk 1.0 is released.

Make sure to read the source code, it's comedic:

Like Wordle, but about word etymology. Entertaining when you guess the words.

The text of Moby-Dick. I take lorem-ipsum-level texts from here. Also, a good book!

The scripts.

With this JavaScript script, you can keep your relative timestamps up-to-date without reloading. I'll do that if I ever fall into the trap of relative time.

This article helped me set up automated proxy toggling.

Fuzzy matcher for OS X that uses both std{in,out} and a native GUI

Works well.

Lightweight Golang ORM for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and SQLite

Matthew finds deep distaste in his software engineering job but has no idea what to change. We'll all be there.

A small C compiler… for uxn.

This is a "proof-of-concept" project I started back in early March of this year. I wanted to see how difficult it would be to create a dungeon-crawler-esque RPG entirely in HyperCard.

An open-source activitypub network and fediverse database, powered by FediDB

The author talks about Lua designs and features they have mixed opinions about but always finds a reason to justify them.

Every time I read anything about Lua, I want to find a use for it.

Жиянов показывает язык Odin. Какой-то го, но низкоуровневый. Прикольно.

igdl is a Python script for downloading an image from a given
Instagram URL and either save it directly to disk or write it to stdout.
It will automatically pick the highest image resolution available.

snscrape is a scraper for social networking services (SNS). It scrapes things like user profiles, hashtags, or searches and returns the discovered items, e.g. the relevant posts.

Supports many major social networks!

An app that lets you add various links and displays them in a column layout. You can create a unified dashboard of several social networks, news feeds, and such with it.

Seem to be good writings. Will read properly later. Didn't find any RSS though.

It might be worth to prepare your data for a big electric spark. The spark is unlikely, but still. Your safest bets are discs and paper, the two optical storage media.

Some abstractions are wrong. To get rid of them, inline them, rip the unneeded stuff, and forget about the abstraction. I want to rip an abstraction like that!

You can have a very time efficient set implementation with two uninitialized arrays. It's not space efficient though.

Tetralogy. The climate catastrophe is two years away (just by the time I'll finish the bachelor degree).

To save the planet, actions are needed. They are not done.

Also, further parts of the series talk about software.

if we fail to mitigate the climate crisis, we’re headed for a world where it’s expensive or impossible to get new hardware, where electrical power is scarce, internet access is not the norm, and cloud services don’t exist anymore or are largely inaccessible due to lack of internet.

Tobias tells us how a proper app theming mechanism is basically impossible in GNOME, and application ecosystems in general.

“Users” want a lot of things, but just because you want something impossible that doesn’t make it possible. In this case, it’s important to be aware of the costs of giving complete visual freedom to “themes”, both in individual app developer effort, and chilling effects on the ecosystem. If given a choice between customization and more, better apps, I’m confident the majority of people would prefer the latter.

Note that Betula is much more open to customization with CSS. It's a literal setting! I don't use it, of course. If I want to change something visually, I just push it upstream. Y'all folks can do the same, of course, but I won't accept everything. So you've got custom CSS. I think it works well.

Tobias told us about his past with a very elaborate riced Arch Linux config. Now he's a GNOME developer, who knows that it's better to contribute a better icon to the app than to update an icon theme; to use fish instead of zsh with a big config; etc. In general, invest time into things that scale.

I like his little remark towards the static site. I dislike his little remark towards self-hosting, although I see where he's coming from.

Command Palette in any applications

You don't really need it though. Just use the built-in menu items search.
