Voicemail — Mother left for work this morning but it’s getting late and she hasn’t returned. I’m hungry and the neighbors rustle about in their lawns, eyes fixed on a red sky. I tried calling Mom but the cell service and WiFi are out. As it twilights, I hear my phone chiming. 30 messages and 3 voice notes. The last one chills me. It’s mom sobbing and another voice snarling. “I love you son, I’m so sorry.” In the background, a gritty unknown language: “Do not fear… Cleanse the world… His will be...

after finally giving up on the shell script i was previously using (modified astro) i finally got lagrange, and it's pretty damn good. not too many bugs. good work, the preformatted text looks especially snazzy on the default layout. though the window does lag heavily when i move it (running the AppImage on Ubuntu 22 if anyone's interested)
I sit here as rain softly pitterpatters the porch, drops plinking on the metal rain gutter. A candle on the table lends aid to the little light bulb of the kitchen counter's lamp. I'm sipping some tea, I've gone through my nightly ritual of packing up my stuff for work the next day, and I'm reflecting on the beauty and simplicity of sitting and doing nothing after a long day of travel, errands, and a few chores. I've had the opportunity to catch up with some people lately that I don't always...

Duolingo app is bad — Duolingo app is pretty bad... it actually crashes. It pauses for prolonged periods after ads, and sometimes never recovers, requiring a shutdown and restart. The quality is embarrasing... All crashes happen after ads, confirming my bias Had they offered a free set of lessons and a clean way to purchase the product I would have paid by now. But kind of glad I didn't. For free, willing to tolerate the shitty app, for now. Aside from crashing, I found problems with with...
Auto-generated headers — I really like lagrange, but was wondering if there was a way to toggle the auto-generated site headers? It takes up additional space especially when a site already has a header - then it's two headers. I couldn't find it in the settings, unless I overlooked something.

HAVERA seems to appear in Portuguese and Hebrew, but in English I'm finding it only as a surname
i use gentoo since 2005, if i was less stupid i would start using it earlier. i have been written an utility for rpm based distros that would have http path with src.rpm files in config file, would download src.rpm package, try to build it. check output, get dependencies, if any, repeat the process recoursively. that way i was able to build extra software for my redhat systems. also i was able to update rhels by not having access to binaries but to sources only. i also played with debians...
Cairo Food Rhapsody — Everything and everyone was making an improvised symphony. Car horns blared, radio stations sang lively, and the daily chatter swirled, indiscernible, but told the cities energetic collective story. I could smell the dryness in the air. Exhaust and sand aren't exactly a pleasure, but somehow behind the thick layer of crud, I could make out a hint of delicious meat. Maybe it was avian or bovine or who knows. Someone down there was cooking something worth following your...

Which parts of the web want saving? Which can we do without? — Let’s have an unrealistic hypothetical here. Suppose the http web were replaced entirely by a new protocol (or maybe set of protocols?) which allowed for client side scripting, unrestricted styling, and all the other aspects of the web which make it distinct. Except this time, everything was being built from scratch, with person-first values in mind, like privacy, accessibility, ease of use, etc. The designers of this protocol are...
I tried writing a longer post, and it wouldn't let me submit it. It said "the url would be too long" or something like that. Is this because I'm using amfora?
Hello! — I just want to introduce myself to start some activity in this subspace. I use Gentoo as my desktop OS since July 2023. My other favorite OS is Debian, I used it as a desktop OS since 2012 and I still use it for servers. I really like the stability of Debian with it's versioned releases. I hope one day the Gentoo project will have more resources to implement something like this on top of the OS, fortunately emerge is very powerful. Apart from that I prefer the approaches of Gentoo. I...

Does anyone out there like playing old text based adventure games? I grew up playing Zork with my parents and I've probably sunk more time into drawing maps and writing myself walkthroughs than the full playtime of most other games I've played. Do any of you have any lesser-known text based adventure games you recommend?
so this subspace got me looking into pascal, and as a non professional programmer it's fairly easy to understand. I might make some of my CGI scripts with it in the future. edit: I figured out how to print a "20" line: writeLn('20 text/gemini; charset=utf-8'#13#10);

The Problem With Ads in Apps — I was playing around with Duolingo today. I tried it a few years ago, just before the pandemic; it got a lot better. This time around, I didn't feel like an idiot poking at obvious multiple-choice questions. There is a good mix of different actions now, including speaking (which now works well). It is gamified, which is good for this sort of thing. So when I started with a browser, it started showing ads. That is fine as everything else on the web is doing the...
