I borrowed this from Milligram[0] because it seemed like a sane thing to do at the time. Would your recommendation be to not anything to the base font-size and adjust the REM sizes accordingly?

Very good point, I modified the page. The project started-out non-classless, so the term was more appropriate back then.

Alternatively you can migrate to another classless framework and not change a thing :)

I limited myself to black and white when creating the style-sheet, but maybe I should indeed add some kind of indicator for the "disabled" button, such as hatchings.

edit: hatchings make the inner text unreadable, I'll play around with opacity and dotted lines, thank you to the users who proposed them.

edit 2: went with dashed lines and published a new version. It even shaves off a couple of bytes off the minimized version :D

louismerlinon Concrete.css

Yup, I'll remove it from the list, thank you for catching this.

There is no drop-down arrow in light mode either, which does create an accessibility issue, I'll have to reflect on that.

I created the style-sheet to be as minimalist as possible, but there is such a thing as too much minimalism.

Oh wow, crazy to see my project on HN! Thank you soap-3 for submitting it :D

I really appreciate all of your suggestions, I'll patch the issues up asap.

louismerlinon You can't follow me

Thank you for your write-up, I ran into similar issues a couple of months back.

Another gripe with the technical implementation of mastodon is the CORS headers required to access the ActivityPub API [0].

Because of this issue, an activitypub-aware frontend for mastodon has to have its own mastodon server running, which adds a whole bunch of hurdles.

You read up on permacomputing[0] and embrace the resilience mindset.

louismerlinon Show HN: Homebrew 16bit CPU from 74HC logic with C compiler and Unix-like OS

Very cool project!

That’s funny, I started working on a 16bit CPU for a stack computer a couple of months ago, and ended up naming it "sola".

louismerlinon Ask HN: What are you reading these days?

I just started Daemon from Daniel Suarez.

Very cool techno thriller.

These kinds of realizations have made me look into permacomputing [1], suckless [2] and related fields of research and development in the past few months.

We should be getting so much more from our hardware! Let's not settle for software that makes us feel bad.

louismerlinon Random Fuzzy Thoughts

I built a tool to make fuzzing in rust as pain-free as possible: https://github.com/srlabs/ziggy

It’s basically a wrapper around afl.rs and the honggfuzz rust library, and runs both fuzzers in parallel.

I did not find an English source, but a French energy giant got its google description replaced by a tweet by a left wing politician two weeks ago.

It seems it was an algorithm malfunction.
