Run Linux inside a PDF file via a RISC-V emulator
You might expect PDF files to only be comprised of static documents, but surprisingly, the PDF file format supports Javascript with its own separate standard library. Modern browsers (Chromium, Firefox) implement this as part of their PDF engines. However, the APIs that are available in the browser are much more limited. The full specfication for the JS in PDFs was only ever implemented by Adobe Acrobat, and it contains some ridicul … ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I have separate mail boxes for private and work, but flattened both to have a simpler structure. For work, where we use Outlook, I am using categories for organising the mails and privately I am using Vivaldi’s labels system. The main idea is to use search and grouping through dynamic saved searches instead of static folders.

@2024-10-08T19:36:38-07:00@a.9srv.net Thanks for the followup. I agrees with most of it - especially:

Please nobody suggest sticking the content type in more metadata. 🙄

Yes, URL can be considered ugly, but they work and are understandable by both humans and machines. And its trivial for any client to hide the URLs used as reference in replies/treading.

Webfinger can be an add-on to help lookup people, and it can be made independent of the nick by just serving the same json regardless of the nick as people do with static sites and a as I implemented it on darch.dk (wf endpoint). Try RANDOMSTRING@darch.dk on http://darch.dk/wf-lookup.php (wf lookup) or RANDOMSTRING@garrido.io on https://webfinger.net

From my bed, I can hear a noise outside that is most likely a confluence of insects and distant freight trains but sounds eerily like the static-laden cacophany of an old radio. I would go out to see what it is, but a small part of me is worried I might end up walking into an episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” if I do.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes I suppose that is true. There is an article on Tailscale’s site that explains it all quite a bit: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works

To me, with CGNAT, it’s a small miracle that a direct connection can be made between peers (as opposed to going through a relay constantly) but it does indeed work. I guess to host it at home you would need to have it WAN accessible, and if you’ve already gone to the trouble of port forwarding etc… well 😅
Not that I could personally do that, but for those with static IPs etc.

Erlang Solutions: Type-checking Erlang and Elixir
The BEAM community couldn’t be more varied when it comes to opinions about static type systems. For some they’re the most desired feature of other functional languages which we miss. Others shun them and choose our ecosystem exactly because, and not despite the fact that it doesn’t force the perceived overhead of types. Some others still worry whether static types could be successfully applied on the Erlang virtual machine at all.

@prologic@twtxt.net I never tried out any of the other clients except jenny with mutt. The best thing about yarn vs something like Mastodon is that its more promoted of the specification of twtxt files instead of server part. Twtxt can be hosted on some free static site host or some git server even so its really low resouces. Just a basic text file. As far as I know yarn is mostly just a web ui around twtxt and an extnetion to the specification to add some more usability and modern things. Anyone can join decentrilized network by having a twtxt file somewhere. If you want to support the specification of twtxt then that is really something most projects don’t do and they promote the server software mostly.
