NotesWhat if we imagined “wealth” consisting not of the money we stuff into banks or the fossil-fuel-derived goods we pile up, but of joy, beauty, friendship, community, closeness to flourishing nature, to good food produced without abuse of labor? What if we were to think of wealth as security in our environments and societies, and as confidence in a viable future?Unfurl
NotesIt’s not the most beautiful ANSI art, but it is something that someone made for me and I’ve always been a little bummed that I can’t look at it in one of the many ANSI viewers (or DOS emulators) that exist today.
Let’s fix that!FeedUnfurl

NotesRecently I pickup a few Macintosh Plus systems, so I’ve decided to play around with the FloppyEMU’s HD20 support with the hopes of writing some future blog posts for maxing out a Macintosh Plus. This guide will also work for the SE, Classic, Classic II, Portable, IIci, IIsi, or LC.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesVentoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.Unfurl
NotesSo, you want to build an app that has its data co-located with its UI? That works offline? That synchronizes between clients? And that lets its users own their data? Unfurl

NotesI wrote recently about how you can use Mastodon’s API to make bots that post random images and make data charts, but you don’t have to automate just bots. Let me show you a few fun things you can do with your own profile.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesIt occurred to me today that ActivityPub is the new, modern FidoNet(-style) networking. Sure you have W3C publishing official specifications, but what you mostly have is every day “hackers” putting the protocol to work building decentralized communications. Anyway, the specifications are quote vague at best, which in this case, I’m going to consider a feature. In other words, a lot like FidoNet. FeedUnfurl
NotesIt’s possible that, in the future, we will build an A.I. that is capable of writing good prose based on nothing but its own experience of the world. The day we achieve that will be momentous indeed—but that day lies far beyond our prediction horizon. In the meantime, it’s reasonable to ask, What use is there in having something that rephrases the Web?FeedUnfurl

Notesrinetd redirects TCP or UDP connections from one IP address and port to another. rinetd is a single-process server which handles any number of connections to the address/port pairs specified in the file /etc/rinetd.conf. Unfurl
NotesThe UI is served over HTTP directly from the binary using Go’s fantastic http.FileServer implementation from the standard library. Sometime around February 2021 was the Go 1.16 release, which came with native embedding of files into Go binaries. Flipt quickly took advantage of this feature for bundling the static UI assets directly into the binary. Go has a handy wrapping function that adapts the embed.FS into the required http.FileSystem interface to integrate it seamlessly into an http.Server. You can find the current (v1.16.0) embed directive in Flipt here.FeedUnfurl
