trying to start a new habit of taking daily notes in obsidian… i really hope i can make it stick!
wrote a script to make epic aesthetic half tone images and i was impressed with myself how fast i did it but to be fair i already had the commands noted down and i just had to script it lmfao
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I fully agree with you on https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-07-22/0/POSTING-en.html!
Although, in the first screenshot, the window title background is much darker in the new version than the old one!1!1 :-P Kidding aside, the contrast in the old one is still better.
Also, note the missing underlines for the Alt hotkeys now. I just think that the underline in the old one is too thick.
Not Too Active Here
As you can see, I am not too active around here. I am elsewhere writing notes, which are short, silly, but fun. I am keeping this around for, mostly, two reasons. Old stuff, though bad, is part of me, a record of my past. I also may decide to come by, eventually, and write something in a longer format.
So, here I leave this blog—which I insisted on calling “weblog” for a while—frozen in time. ⌘ Read more
Felt the need to make this stupid reference - nobody will get, most likely. Feel free to guess (the file name and todays date, are both a hint), any other notes and opinions appreciated too, idk if I ever drew a standing one, from the front, before.
So I was using this function in Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.Path.html#method.display
Note the little 1.0.0 in the top right corner, which means that this function has been “stable since Rust version 1.0.0”. We’re at 1.87 now, so we’re good.
Then I compiled my program on OpenBSD with Rust 1.86, i.e. just one version behind, but well ahead of 1.0.0.
The compiler said that I was using an unstable library feature.
Turns out, that function internally uses this:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ffi/struct.OsStr.html#method.display
And that is only available since Rust 1.87.
How was I supposed to know this? 🤨

@movq why Gopher to babble, and not just HTTP? I mean, may as well just write plain text files on your machine, and leave them there, right?

@prologic@twtxt.net I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.
If I feel like it, I do. If not, I don’t. Not social, not intended for anyone to see them. I am enjoying it!

On the relationship between Qt and KDE

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:
What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.
My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:
It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.
The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)
(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

@eapl.me@eapl.me This is one of my concerns too. The moment you post publicly ciphertext, you open yourself up for future attacks on the ciphertext, which you really want to avoid if you can. If you have a read of the Salty.im Spec you’ll note we went to great lengths to protect the user’s privacy as well as their identity and make it incredibly hard to guess at inboxes. It’s still a WIP, but I’d love to see it progressed even further – I truly feel strongly about a purely decentralised messaging ecosystem 👌
