10 Outrageous U.S. For-Profit Schools
Want to avoid massive loan payments for worthless degrees or certificates? In the U. S., go only to regionally accredited post-secondary schools. Avoid those that boast of being nationally accredited and those that aren’t accredited at all. Unless a school’s reputation is impeccable, such as that of an Ivy League school, it’s usually better (and […]

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net 😆 There was something weird going on with my #Timeline instance, the text input box was visible even though I was logged out and I was able to twt from it … It has to do with cache because it wouldn’t disappear unless I whip my website’s cache from the browser.

Introduction to GrapheneOS
GrapheneOS (written GOS from now on) is an Android based operating system that focuses security. It is only compatible with Google Pixel devices for multiple reasons: availability of hardware security components, long term support (series 8 and 9 are supported at least 7 years after release) and the hardware has a good quality / price ratio. The goal of GOS is to provide users a lot more control about what their smartphone is doing. A main profile is used by default (the owner … ⌘ Read more

MorphOS 3.19 released
It’s been about 18 months, but we’ve got a new release for MorphOS, the Amiga-like operating system for PowerPC Macs and some other PowerPC-based machines. Going through the list of changes, it seems MorphOS 3.19 focuses heavily on fixing bugs and addressing issues, rather than major new features or earth-shattering changes. Of note are several small but important updates, like updated versions of OpenSSL and OpenSSH, as well as a ton of new filetype definitions – and so much more. Havin … ⌘ Read more

10 World Events That Made the News a Century Ago in 1925
So, what was going on in the world a century ago, in 1925? We’ve scoured the archives to find ten of the most compelling events of that year that made the headlines, and there are some humdingers. The year saw America’s deadliest tornado, the invention of television, Italy’s emergence as a fascist dictatorship, and a […]

Show HN: Tramway SDK – An unholy union between Half-Life and Morrowind engines
Hello everyone, I would like to see if there is any interest in this little project that I have been working on for the past few years.

Could be relevant, seeing the direction in which the mainstream game engines are going.

I didn’t really like any of the already existing options, so I tried to make my own and it turned out to be easier than expected.

Social media is in a worrying state. TikTok in the hands of autocratic China, X (formerly Twitter) in the hands of Elon Musk, who gets crazier every day and hangs out too much with Donald Trump (and recommends a fascist party in Germany), and now Mark Zuckerberg with Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) is also joining the group of friends around Trump and removing fact checks in the name of “free speech”.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thanks for checking! it is a work in progress. i journal as well so may just be a manual process to get some of the data back in, but not going to rush it unless it is dorking someone’s feed.

i thought about making a chill little vlog putting together my new pi4 for KVM purposes but unless i make it go fast somehow i’d probably quickly exceed the 30 mins on the last mini DVD i have for recording lol

just one of those ones you never want to stop. it was dark, quiet, and lonely which just let me zone out with the cool weather and maintain what felt easy. didn’t look at the watch until the end when it notified me it was going to die. adjusted the mileage and time to reflect.

@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

ladyflash by the go team is sooo good my friend just shared it and i’m obsessed already

my camcorder videos are gonna go so hard yall like i can post them exclusively to my own youtube site and just do whatever tf i want with it. i should make more vlogs

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

really wanna make an ssh zine app inspired by a telnet zine cms i found on github. i’m gonna probably go ahead with the telnet zine idea i have if i can get people for it but if i could build my own ssh mirror for it with golang and the charmbracelet wish library that’d be epic

As a treat, I figured I could write a year in review kinda thing, too. In no particular order here are some reflections organized into some mostly sensical categories.

Since recovering from my brain bleed and the subsequent repair procedures, this year I’ve enjoyed getting back into a routine of exercising.

A new addition to my domain collection
My list of domains is constantly changing. Sometimes it grows, and sometimes it shrinks as I let go of a domain I no longer need. The good thing is that letting go of a domain makes room for new ones. Just yesterday I made a spontaneous purchase of another .de domain: jan-lukas.de, to go along with janlukas.de, which I already own and sometimes use for emails. ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.

And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger

One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it

By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social
Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com‬ or https://netflix.com

Its just good SEO practice

Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce.
No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.

No. 2025 Won’t Be The Year of The Linux Desktop.

The Uniform
[Based on a story I wrote during upper-secondary school based on real
events. I translated it recently from Swedish and edited some of it. I
removed most (all?) elements of fiction.

Not a typical night, since it’s at an event in another city, but it
gives a taste of what partying in, say, 1989(?) was like. And yes, I
really usually drank two bottles of wine during a pre-party in those
days. Not unusual in the crowd I was hanging out with, I’m afraid.]
