#QOTD : If you could redesign a fundamental internet protocol from scratch, which one would you choose and how would you improve it?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL which I block on purpose 🤣
I was able to dig up StarOffice 3.1, which I used in the 1990’ies on Windows 95. This was the highlight of my day. 🥰 As you can see in the photo below, this CD includes a version for Windows 3.1, 95/NT – and OS/2! How cool is that? My CD back then did not have the OS/2 version.
StarWriter of StarOffice 3.1 can do a lot of the stuff that I’m missing in the tool at work. Like automatic numbering of sections/chapters and cross-references to other parts of the document. Essential basic stuff like that.
All the following screenshots are from QEMU VMs (OS/2 2.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows 98), but I think I’m gonna install this on my real OS/2 Warp 4 box soon. 🧓
What really blew my mind is this feature, though: You can rearrange your document’s structure using drag-and-drop. Here’s a demo (Window 2000):

I really, really wish the tool at work would have a feature like that. It would have saved me so much time already. 😭
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞
@mckinley@twtxt.net I see 🤔
What’s all of this about? one may ask…
Well I’ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD… It doesn’t matter. I just want to “Make it feel… Make it feel alive AGAIN!”
I’ve ripped off it’s GPU about a year ago to rescue another computer … Now I’m stuck with only SSH to play with it. Since it came with just a VGA port for display and my monitor takes all but THAT!
Planning a file back up from an old machine that’s been sitting in the corner gathering dust… Because I know ! I’m about to eff it up, BIIIIG Time ! 😂
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I’m looking forward to my all-SSD Btrfs RAID5 NAS. I think it’ll be a while, though. I just paid $6.92/TB for a couple of used 12TB HDDs.
@prologic@twtxt.net They’re shutting down after 7 years. It was a great place to buy Monero with cash by mail. https://localmonero.co/nojs/blog/announcements/winding-down
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net You sure that’s enough? My laptop already has 32 GB RAM. You gotta pump those numbers up!
50 Core CPU, 128GB RAM, 20TB SSD laptops when?
@mckinley@twtxt.net What happened to it? 🤔
RIP LocalMonero. You will be missed.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice. Compiling problematic software is my #1 use of containers on my PC. I use a handful of them on my server.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I always think of with a shake of my head, too. Nowadays people voluntarily and actively feeding Stasi with all their information.
Hahaha, what an evil idea, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de At work, I mostly open Jira tickets in new tabs and don’t navigate them. But yeah, GitHub unsurprisingly fucked up here. One more reason not to use it. ;-)
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I was just surprised by that low number, because I still have 126 feeds in my list. Buuuuuut I guess I could clean that up a bit as well. 🥴
@movq@www.uninformativ.de To be fair Twtxt has always been quite niche. Yarn picked up interest a bit a few years back, but then things died down a bit. I built yarnd
for me, I continue to use it and improve it every now and again. But I guess the only uses we’ll continue to see and that includes new folks are folks that give a shit about simple things, and see value in a slow, privacy focused medium? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Not a lot left, huh 🤔
Cut my following list down to just a mere ~47 feeds. ~11 rss/news feeds, 23 local feeds from my pod, and 13 external feeds.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com lol, yeah, that would be great 😂
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @mckinley@mckinley.cc Huh, I envy you. 😅 I was browsing my GitHub stars, clicked Next
a couple of times and then hit the back
button on my mouse. Boom, I don’t get back to the previous page but to my profile page: https://github.com/vain?tab=stars
At work, it is absolutely pointless to expect forward/backward to work. Almost everything breaks. Maybe some older Jira still works, but that’s about it.
