From the email I received this should be only apply to shitholes for now but it is a dangerous precedent that they WILL want to spread everywhere
F-Droid should not be affected at least in EU since the latest market law that pissed of apple. I'm not really caught up on that, but it's something along the lines of "third party app stores must be an option for user".

I'll definitely read up something more about it

nah EU's shitty regulation will do nothing because
>stores are allowed, you just have to use official tools while developing apps
>you don't want people to hack messengers to remove Orwellian spyware, do you :^) ?

>>42528999
But third party app stores would be literally useless if the OS developer (google or apple) still had any say in whether you can run code distributed that way
I don't wanna talk out of my ass but it seems to me it should apply

Now hold on stock gnome is not my preferred gnome since minimise window button is missing but ironically installing kde fixes that (even if you keep using gnome it adds the buttons for some reason with KDE theming) and Dash to dock is a must but that’s the only changes I would make unless drag to snap windows isn’t vanilla or least super plus arrow key should work to quickly split screen windows, I don’t need more although I think I should learn to use less I just haven’t been bothered to spend time configuring keybinds

KDE Linux, everypony.
Maybe it's not a 100% bad thing for GUI vendors to become OS vendors? As long as nopony in the upstream chain will fuck up, and third party software delivery is handled in some user friendly way, could this be a good thing for popularizing desktop Linux?
Like, you know, show somepony screenshots of UI and let them choose what they prefer. But truth be told you can already do the same thing with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and so on, if you like the way *ubuntu distros do certain things.

Didn't the KDE team create Konqueror in which Chrome took some of the code from?
It will be like ChromeOS.

I'll boop, in hopes for more ponitechposting after the con weekend.

KDE has the best Linux mascot. Really shows they're the only GUI provider with a sense for aesthetics (which is essential for a GUI).

>>42540036
IIRC, it's KHTM > WebKIt (Apple) and then Google used WebKit for awhile and finally forked it into Blink. Still, Konquetor is the grandmother of Chrome.

Speaking of browsers associated with the KDE project, Falkon:
https://www.falkon.org/
This browser was the best preforming browser on a old Intel Atom netbook I have, but I found their update schedule to be sporadic and binaries in the distro repositories to be even more so. This was recent too, last three years, but I don't know why it worked so much faster than chromium because:
>Until version 2.0, QupZilla was using QtWebKit. QtWebKit is now deprecated and new versions are using QtWebEngine.
QtWebEngine is a stripped down version of the Chromium browser, does unbranded Chromium really have that much bloat to make a difference.

>>42539199

Do you have printer that would be actually good for that? I have two dot-matrix Epsons and it's really hard to see the latest line of text on both of them. I wanted to also make TTY from printer but this limitation kept from even trying too hard.

On the other hand, I'd very much like to remake electronic typewriter into teletype, sounds like it shouldn't be too hard and they're not very expensive

they don't "suck-suck", more like "slightly suck in their own way"
>XLibre is the /g/entooman choice?
technically yeah but I've yet to see a distro that supports it (Arch/Artix doesn't count)
>Doesn’t OpenBSD use Xenocara does that work on Linux it’s just an X11 fork right?
Xenocara is a "secure" fork of X.org that can be used on other systems but no one fucking cares about it

I think I'll leave Apple's ecosystem for good, what are good android/samsung/etc phones? Biggest focus would be on having a functional app store (with accessibility for important apps, i.e Outlook, google suite, etc), decent camera, and ability to receive/send texts and call people from iphone devices. The only reason I've used apple for so long is because all of my phones are hand-me-downs.

Oh, I'm so glad you asked anon, I'm sure the following will be absolutely enlightening and just as interesting to (You) as it would be to me reading someone else's rambling.
>Arch desktop and laptops
I've developed a habit of pic rel every time I start particular PC, checking list of updates and if it's kernel/systemd/glibc/etc. then I reboot, if KDE then relogin. I'm not often in rush so I prefer to do this first before work/ponyposting/gaems, if something breaks I'll fix it, and at least I don't worry about outdated software.
>Debian servers
unattended-upgrades every night and manual rebooting for kernel or other significant components. Stable workhorsies, pet pet pet.
>Kubernetes clusterfuck
Usually during weekends unless Renovate PR comes with a CVE attached.
>OpenWrt, OPNsense
Reluctantly and typically with a bit of delay, because I feel immeasurable discomfort pulling my homelab off internet for 30 seconds. HA routerpones are difficult, please understand.
>Windows
Whenever Mr. Bill decides it's time to do so, usually when I dualboot for one specific thing that needs Windows and is time sensitive.
>GrapheneOS
Whenever those dedicated security autists release to stable. Surprisingly good QA so far for a "community" project.
>>42531878
No, x86 machines so far (although would give some ARM laptop a chance). In general I like my servers to have updates less often, but on desktops I prefer not waiting 2 years for newer "system level" software, e.g. KDE6 came to Debian stable just now. I'm also used to convenience of easy to audit AUR packaging, and Arch repos typically having most of what I need in recent versions, although I'm growing displeased with distro maintainers being the ones responsible for packaging 3rd party stuff for their OS. Sometimes packages stay out of date, I wanted to bump one but had some issues with build that the app devs and Nix maintainers clearly didn't, so I was disappoint that I just wanted to run some shit and couldn't because of each distro having different build environments/scripts for the same shit. Debian and Ubuntu had prebuilt packages from app vendor, I would only need to do a naughty thing and add their apt repo. REEE.
Yeah, I know, Linux distros are essentially 3rd party stuff glued together. I use macOS for work sometimes and I liked the "separation of responsibilities" between Apple delivering base OS and brew delivering your whatever actual third party software, in a rather standardized way from what I can tell, so curl | sh isn't as popular. So it's still a fourth party packaging third party's software, but it's so popular that the third party devs themselves might be the ones maintaining those brew install scripts. Well, I hope that's the case more often than on Linux.

I don't know, maybe it's time to check out the BSDs. Make a deal with a certain spiky-tailed, red-coated mare. Surely she'll pull me out of this packaging hell, and into her own fires of passion.

For some reason here colors other than black and maybe silver look tacky to me, maybe it's the plain buttons clashing with colorful frame. I liked how red PT and gold PTS looked.
I'm glad they've got the trademark back.

No, because the attitude of the project is to be a quirk chungus hacky "enthusiast" gadget with no long-term support, a laughable 30 day warranty, and repeated refusals to state any future plans for more watches or more work on the watches. After trying to use a pinephone, a 14 year old thinkpad, a budget smartphone with lineageOS and similar stuff like that, I've honestly gotten way too tired of trying to use "tinker hardware" for daily use.
I'm all for openness and I'd pay extra for things that are not locked down, hackable, modifiable, custom-flashable etc., but it's gotta be a polished product by default that I can also just use in my day to day if I don't feel like reflashing my firmware or having to search through the official bug tracker for workarounds on a given day. I'm not saying this Pebble will necessarily be like that (and I do use Linux on my computers and I've gotten it to work reliably), but the project simply doesn't inspire confidence.

His rhethoric is that he hopes others will be inspired to make similar projects and that there will be more pebble-like gadgets on the market -but without committing to making more himself. This feels at odds with e.g. re-buying the pebble trademark; if he doesn't want to make more pebbles, why is he hoarding the name? On one hoof the project is making a big faff about "the original pebble is coming back guyz!!" and in the next breath he's giving a single month warranty and explicitly saying "if you want a polished product that I can guarantee will work then just don't buy :))" and refusing to comment on considering any further releases.

i can honestly see how small the actual market for these new watches are, this is something i have to think on

thinkpads are fine
phones with lineage are literally the only sane option these days (fuck stock ROMs, all of them suck)
pinephone is a meme though
>>42562562
does anyone itt tried pinetime?

>>42564979
>thinkpads are fine
If they're modern enough to run well. I feel for the me_cleaner meme.
I use a modern one for work right now but you could still get a used one from the last few years just fine - but the issue nowadays is that they've been coming with soldered ram for a little while so if you're buying corporate refurbs you might be stuck with shitty specs. And it's only gonna keep getting worse, the age of the cheap upgradable x230 for under a hundred bucks is over.

>phones with lineage
Basically only if you buy a phone that has a proper dedicated dev, ideally a core dev, working on support. If you're doing that just buy a pixel and shove graphene on it. On paper the point of lineage is to support as many phones as possible but the result is that an overwhelming amount of them have patchy updates, go in and out of support, and basically it's fine if you're happy to keep up to date with development but not if you just wanna install and forget.
Fuck stock roms indeed I agree, I'm on graphene now and it just works.

>pinetime
I've started avoiding pine entirely now. I've heard decent things about pinetime but, again, it's guaranteed to be tinker hardware. Pine cannot make software for shit, they're purely a hardware company that relies on community devs half-heartedly maintaining their OS ports for them.
Their SBCs had mediocre support (not nonexistent chink tier but still not great), pinephone generated a ton of hype but ultimately development stalled at the stage where it's remained a meme, pinetab is dead in the water as far as I'm aware. Pinetime "works" but again the OS is developed by an unaffiliated project and an unpaid guy.

A watch is something that never becomes outdated. Right now I'm wearing a 40 year old quartz watch. Still werks.
The Pebble 2 Duo is what modern Casios should be. As for the Time 2, I don't care or need color or touch screens on my watch, and wouldn't pay $225 for one. Might as well get a generic smartwatch at that point.

>>42565105
>shitty Xiaomi phones are still better with unstable Lineage builds than with stock roms
If you're forced to choose the lesser of two evils, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the shitty xiaomi phone with unstable lineage builds is still really shit. The fact that lineage advertises support for anything and everything perpetuates the idea that you can just buy any old phone and "give it a new life!" with a custom ROM, but my point is that down that path is just endless, interminable annoyance.

>pine
Yeah it's sad, their hardware actually shows promise. Their SBCs were really good, the pinephone was like the only decent linux phone project that didn't cost $1000+, pinetime seems like by far the best sub-$30 smartwatch and pinenote is literally the only open hardware e-paper tablet. I fucking wish they didn't just ignore software so completely and drop the ball so hard.

i have always heard bad things about the pinephone, this continues to be true.
daily driving is the issue, i had a friend, another anon here who couldn't even get the camera working
it's nothing more than a cool concept, the hardware is there, and software, is somewhat
it's missing it's basic necessary functionality

i remember my pixel 3a with grapheneOS would have a few minutes of delay whenever receiving SMS, is this a common thing? Maybe I just needed to let the sim card sit in the phone for a while
it's broken now so i can't see for myself but, was wondering if anyone has any, buggy, experiences while daily driving?

>>42566010

I don’t really have a reason to switch, right now it just hosts a meme hidden service and I tinker on it occasionally, but I’ve heard Alpine is pretty good on Pi’s and I’ve always been curious about it, so I’m giving it a try.

Just had to get some configs and such off it first.
For a while I had it hosting an onion hidden service that was updated every couple of minutes to display a random ponysay turned to HTML with aha. Might set that up again, might not. I have a separate main server that does the actually useful things so I mainly use the pi to run some random web scraping and automation.

I wasn't at marefair, but you should have a 'mouse and touchpad' settings option in your start menu under 'settings'. Under 'Device' you should find some cryptic numbers followed by 'Touchpad'. See if that's turned on. If you can't make it there by keyboard, simply connect a mouse via usb.

Any thoughts on the lighter pre-http/html web protocols like gopher and gemini? I was toying with gemini at a few moments of downtime during marefair on my eee pc.

>>42570346
they are fun to toy around with but have no practical usage
IMO people should just >standardize "basic" HTML5 with no JS and basic/no CSS
>pre-http
that's just gopher
gemini exists because someone wanted to re-create text-based "web" (see gemini's mandatory use of TLS)

>>42570467
I do like the wiping the slate clean approach though, rather than having to shave off garbage and having to specify what parts of the current web is good and what is bad. People can't whine and use a little bit of javascript on their website anyway, when they have to write for a protocol that doesn't offer it to begin with.

>>42570346
Honestly I don't believe HTML is bad. You can be a little bit "cleaner" but a proper performant, standards-compliant HTML parser is not that difficult to make. HTTP is also fine as a protocol, even HTTP2.0 isn't a particularly harmful standard or anything (I'm not too sure about 3.0 since I don't know enough about it).
It's entirely down to website developers to not shove their shit full of dynamically rendered javascript.
>inb4 gopher makes it impossible to even add any JS, promoting good websites!
Gopher doesn't magically promote anything, the dev has to actually decide to use gopher, and if they are capable of doing that they are also capable of just making a decent html-based http website.
For that matter I don't even believe the web should be no-JS, rather it should use reasonable and FOSS javascript. So no enormous libraries rendering an entire "app" in the browser, but rather simple vanilla JS to render a webpage interactive. Even games in the browser aren't a terrible concept, again, as long as they adhere to having their code be free/libre JS - and as long as actual "document" websites don't have more code than a fucking game would take.

As such tl;dr is that I don't really see much point in these protocols, just make sane HTML websites.

>>42570540
>(I'm not too sure about 3.0 since I don't know enough about it).
HTTP/3 uses QUIC instead of TCP

>>42570553
Yeah but I don't really know the pros and cons. A new protocol isn't necessarily inherently a bad thing, though it very well can be.

>>42570540
I just don't trust modern devs with their nodejs and react and vue and whatever else, to adhere to anything other than their usual ways. You risk every site you go to to be a rats nest. You wouldn't have that risk with gopher or gemini. I just find it neat and see the appeal of scaling back in a sense. Not that it would ever happen, but I can still play around and make some gemini mirrors to the things I tinker with.

>>42570595
I suppose it does serve as a guarantee that the site you're loading definitely doesn't have any weird stuff because it can't, rather than having to check whether there's any JS and if so whether it's sane or not.
But something like the LibreJS extension achieves the same purpose. Nobody uses it, true, but almost nobody uses gopher/gemini either. If I had to pick one, I'd rather promote verifiably free javascript and tools to filter JS by its liberty - whether by promoting LibreJS, or having the functionality integrated into something like ubo or even having browsers like Firefox start taking this into account. Imagine if, next to the HTTPS secure/insecure icon, browsers also showed a "libre" or "proprietary" icon for the scripts on the page, and provided options to block or always ask before running non-free scripts.

Of course Chromium will never have that because google lmao and Firefox will never have that because mozilla has gone down the shitter and so has ff's market share so they'd never have the balls to break compatibility like this. But again non-http protocols will never become popular either, so hypothetically if I had to pick one option that would magically become viable in some fantasy wish-fulfilment reality, I'd rather the former.

>>42570648
>Firefox will never have that because mozilla has gone down the shitter and so has ff's market share
I can't even remember the last time one of the big firefox updates made something better instead of shitting things up. It's worse than windows at this point, because microsoft usually forces you to swallow some huge downgrade only every decade or so.

Is it bad idea to port forward SIP directly to my IP phone?

I wanted to setup FreePBX but it seems to just work by dialing IP directly and I'm lazy.

>>42571752
For context, I don't have any VoIP service, it's just the phone sitting there so you can call it by dialing the IP directly.
All the info I could find says that they're gonna try to brute force my account, use it to make expensive calls, that I should only allow connections from provider but that obviously doesn't apply here.

Is there any risk besides someone calling me at 3:00 in the morning or somehow exploiting the phone and getting into internal network thru it? I can set whitelist on callers but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing

>>42571752
>>42572023
>Is it bad idea to port forward SIP directly to my IP phone?
In many cases yes. Not just because security but because VoIP can be configured in such different ways that port forwarding will make troubleshooting much harder. Do you know what ports should be open on your phone? 5060 is just session signalling port and you would need others to establish media stream. Do you also plan to port forward these ports or let NAT handle them? What if other leg of the call behind the NAT? You would probable need assist from STUN or TURN servers. They should just work behind the NAT, as this is their purpose, but each of them works in different ways and may or may not work reliably in several cases.
And with the security standpoint, you''ll expose your intranet device to wide net. Device may or may not be bugged or have some vulnerabilities that may grant attacker access to your private net, possibility to use your device as proxy/bot and access to hardware features of your phone: speaker, microphone, camera (if it's a video-enabled phone). At least you should consider to isolate phone from your other home network devices by VLAN or other means.
Please, don't take my words as expertise. I'm learning VoIP myself and barely scraped the surface. If you can discard half of my questions as bullshit and answer on others with confidence, then you likely ready to decide by yourself if port forward SIP good idea or bad. Sorry if I can't be more helpful.

last i checked roughly $100. probably about the same on facebook. the 13" 2012 is probably the lowest id go on these old macs, since its still modern enough and a decent size. the issue is most 13" 2012 models are stuck with a dual core i5, which is capable but limited. used it as my only laptop for quite some time and it did the job running high sierra, but eventually i moved on to better systems.
presently i have a 15" 2012 as a secondary laptop, since that one has a quad core i7 and i have it running on sonoma. got it for $40 ($20 at ewaste + $20 battery) and i've yet to fully test its limits. my main laptop is plenty good so i have not much use for the macbook, but i feel like i totally could main it if i felt like it despite not being a mac person

Hard to tell in this condition. From the photo looks like most damage was taken by plastic insulation elements but the copper elements may still be good. You'd want to make sure that individual wire insulation is still intact or fix it if it was damaged. Conductor core of some wires also may or may not be damaged. Carefully clear burned stuff from plates with alcohol and test with multimeter for connectivity and cross-shorts. Test both damaged contact ends and wires. Especially wires. Find the source of the heat that burned insulation and with great attention examine wires in that area. If everything if seems OK, then try to plug it and see if it works.

Well, everyone have his own choices and preferences, but I prefer Firealpaca personally.
As for how to draw digitally, I couldn't help you, I don't draw a lot, and learned by myself.
But if I may, learn how to use layers, that's the HUGE improvement over traditional drawing.
At very least a layer for your background and each characters, but I usually use one layer (or bundle of layers) per part of the characters (usually one for the body, for each legs, for the head (usually multi layers grouped), for the tail, for the mane, for the accessories, one for the lights, the shadows, and finally, for the projected shadow) but I go too far, it's just that this way, I can change whatever I want very easily.
But I started with one layer for the background and one for the character, just to learn

>>42582173
I'd say don't worry about the software or gear whatsoever. In a way the best way to go about it is like with cooking. You can learn from speed draws different artists make and try to watch and learn how they do things. Or the hard way where you just get a picture and try to recreate it. First, what shapes do you see? If you had to put the picture in a box and that box in a box and so on where would everything fit? Try to "scaffold" around your reference, drawing straight lines where things start and end. For example one horizontal line at the top of the head, on for the chin, one for where the hooves reach the ground, etc.
The tool you use to learn doesn't matter, if you're worried about 'wasting' paper on trail and error, krita is pretty good, but any other software works too
. None of them are 'the best thing ever' they're just what people stumbles upon and are used to.
As a final piece of advice, view the process like a game of clues or figuring out a puzzle. Once you drew something you can stop and wonder how it's different from the reference. Like "hmmm.. where is the ear in comparison to the head.." "hm.. looking closer the snout is in the continuation of the eye".. so on.
And most important: have fun with it!

i saw that there was a /pts/ thread on saturday kek, i knew it was probably too late to get a anything besides a small meetup going but, alas
it, somewhat, happened, some anon here was in the lobby sunday night, but i was honestly just too busy running around saying bye to friends and getting some last minute sketchbook swaps in
there will def be more planning into a proper meetup next year tho!

One thing I miss from firefox (using brave now) was the mouse wheel to navigate thru the tabs.
It was comfy to look at them go just to reach the one I needed at the other side of the tabs.

>using brave now
why

>>42583531
Because I'm on an old ass Windows7, and it's one of the half decent browser I found.
I keep a working firefox (with a shiton of legacy tabs I'm slowly purging), and an up to date supermium (for shit like Discord and Roll20).
Any other questions?
Also, what's wrong with brave, it's basically a barely modified chromium with ad block backed in...

>Because I'm on an old ass Windows7

>Also, what's wrong with brave
crypto scam + was aggressively shilled on /g/ back in the day
it's probably the best Blink-based web browser on the market but I'd still prefer Gecko because...
>it's basically a barely modified chromium with ad block backed in...
chromium is against ad blocks by design

As a non-techy person, I've been surprised by the amount of things that the fandom has produced in terms of computing and related, such as PonyOS.
Perhaps a panel showing the immense amount of ponification that can be done in this area, what you and others have done?
Most people only knows Desktop Ponies and little else

Web UI says media port is 10 000, but I can't get it to work, web ui is also the only way to interact with the thing
>Do you also plan to port forward these ports or let NAT handle them?
I wanted to protforward but that didn't work out so well
>What if other leg of the call behind the NAT?
I control both endpoints so I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but well...
>And with the security standpoint
I considered most of the things you mentioned except bugging; and I'll probably make some hw killswitches for the microphones.

I've played with it for the past few days and decided it's not a good ratio of headache/security. I'll probably just setup asterisk instead. Thanks anon, you helped more than you might think

just a firefox fork specifically designed for windows vista/7 compatibility. works pretty well from my experience. I used to be able to use waterfox on windows 7 fine up until earlier this year when they updated and cut windows 7 support

Looking thru the sources https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xeyes it's more complicated than I thought,
they don't use bitmaps for the eyes which makes it harder to make them look like derpys
making them derped should be easier I guess, it's done in computePupil but I don't see any quick way to make them derp right

Gemini is shit, only Gopher matters. Think of it like this: Gopher will still be around after the hipsters all switch to Nostr or whatever the fuck comes next. Besides that, mandatory TLS is fucking retarded.

I'd show you guys my Gopher hole, but no way. There are only a few hundred left as it is, so you can guess which one's mine:

>>42587245
You gotta do more to convince me of the Gopher side of life, than just calling Gemini shit.
I like a protocol that is more than just a prettier FTP. I like pages with inline links and I like having mime types. Yeah the mandatory TLS is stupid, but you'd want that on most anything that you expose to the outside world anyway.

with that bad of a short I'd suspect there's other parts than just the connector that's broken. Without schematics/experience I'd say you're not going to get it fixed. Could sell or keep it as a donor board for other repairs

Looks like an LVDS cable. You can get replacements of those.
What I would do, if the laptop is declared scrap, is to salvage the display panel and buy a generic LVDS controller, a-la https://ebay.us/m/1HVgwl , turns it into a new external monitor. Then there's just the question of making a case for it, but hey in worst case, ducttape works too. The laptop hinges can be reused to make a stand.
It's an idea I've toyed around with myself, having salvaged panels in a drawer somewhere.

kek, I just like ponifications in general so I watch 'ponified' and 'browser ponies' + all of the browser ponies OCs separately. I also just browse boorus a lot for an unhealthy amount of time and save good pics for bumps.

Just find a good picture, check the tags, open the ones that sound good, repeat.
you can use 'linux' for distro mares,
oc:windows || oc:firefox || oc:google chrome || oc:internet explorer || oc:opera || oc:microsoft edge
as some selected characters. Browsing from last page helps you find the forgotten ones better. You can try just searching for random more popular programs too e.g. 'kaspersky' or 'avast'
But seriously, setup a timer to limit this extremely pleasant procrastination technique if you have other stuff to do

And, if you like browser ponies, check the original tumblr ask blogs, they sometimes have better context than the booru posts

What would you anons want to find in a mlp distro?
I have so many projects that I won't make one, but I would be curious about your point of view on that?

I would see a distro linke Mint, where "everything works out of the box", but with mlp themes available, and also some dedicated mlp stuff, like a wiki, some greens and comics, maybe some games mlp themed (or mods of other games).
And (you)?

No system-d, linux-libre kernel, pony themed software and software names for system utilities and default software, librewolf or ungoogled-chromium with a pony name and theme and uBlock origin, for DE/WM not sure

You tell me no one did a fork with that already?

>>42592068
Kek, "I use XXX Applebloom and you?"
What do you mean by "conventional release schedule"? One major release a year, and a fix 6 month later? Or using 2.1.3 as the version number?

>>42592107
Funny, that's actually close to my idea of "Alpone Linux" that I toyed with. The file explorer is called "Daring".
But it only displays the file of the current folder by now because I can't fucking decide to go the python/Tk way or the C/IUP way (I would like it to be portable).

Yearly or every 6 months works for me. As much as some might disagree, I just mean anything that isn't a rolling release, if just having shit work out of the box is a focus.

What do you use for code hosting?
I use github, but it's not very open...
I also use notabug, and it's a shit show of unaccessibility and slowness...
Some talk about codeberg but I'm septical.
Any preference?

>>42594170
I like mercurial. I just don't have any good hosts ever since bitbucket closed their mercurial support. Something easy to use selfhosted would be nice.

How long until we get plushies like these?

>9 cell extended battery
I see you like to carry bricks in your backpack.
The laptop I used for university 15 years ago started with a 6 cell, but I removed 3 to save weight. 2h (realistically more like 1,5) of runtime was more than enough since every second seat in the auditoriums had its own power outlet. And 4h of battery life would not have been enough anyway so I'd have to carry the charger regardless. Might as well save that 150g.
And might as well throw the ODD, unnecessary daughterboards, speakers, webcam, balance weights, shielding etc out from the machine. My 3kg machine ended up being under 1.6kg or something like that.
Also the Pinkie and AJ stickers being sideways triggers me.

Up.

Self hosted Forgejo on RPI4 for stuff that is never meant to be public and Codeberg for public things.
I really like the interface, it feels like the right amount of bloat to me (gitlab is too much, sr.ht way too little). It's surprisingly easy to selfhost and there's little friction when switching between github which I can't avoid because everyone and their mom has to have their project on github.

I am really excited about the forge federation. I'll probably make a public forgejo instance once they get it working
