n3storm··on CSS Bed: Classless CSS themes to use as starting points in web development
I came here for this.

I was very curious for the reason and I found it. Cssbed is not hosting css files but loading upstream css and https://vanillacss.com/vanilla.css has been hacked/hijacked, so no css is being loaded but HTML full of crap.

I thought if request origin or content-type was stylesheet no href GET should be triggered (maybe src) but looks like full HTML site is being rendered behind the scenes of a simple css request.

Are we spending energy tokens to monitor IA? WoW. I mean, It looks necessary but also a trap.

n3storm··on Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence
I am the designer of Coccinella logo, if anybody remembers... Developer sadly died, but project was so ahead of its time I can believe sell point today is still an online shared canvas...

n3storm··on Crickets as Pets
In central Spain, around the eighties, my grandpa has a handmade cricket cage (wood frame with metal wire bars) with a cricket in. It was feed with lettuce I recall for sure, but I was small so I don't know if there was any variation in it.

I don't. Using claude code, claude.md etc with deepseek v4 is almost undistinguishable.
n3storm··on Cheese Paper: a text editor specifically designed for writing
In ancients times when they needed to fit more text within physical boundaries they invented scrolling, pages, chapters, volumes. They even folded maps and other illustration inside books.
n3storm··on Cheese Paper: a text editor specifically designed for writing
What is wrong with spacing text from borders? padding for tabs, padding and margin text blocks? why so many lines? well, I can answer that: if you put two elements two close and you don't want to separate them you need a line between.

IMHO is fitts-law abuse, but is having everthing stuck together a functionallity I fail to recognize? Both in Cheese Paper and in Manustkript are designed using a compressed UI.

"for a while" :D was hard to find and github repo only has history since 2021 but actual first release date is 2009.

can something like this be done for linux? maybe a wrapper for lsusb. I just found https://github.com/doug-gilbert/lsucpd which adds PD and more.
n3storm··on FSF trying to contact Google about spammer sending 10k+ mails from Gmail account
Maybe is thing about Gmail about "This message is spam", that is a Gmail feature not anything standard.

Same as Gmail broke IMAP standard, or Gtalk XMPP standard.

Google can do whatever they please, they've become the standard of humanity surveillance.

n3storm··on FSF trying to contact Google about spammer sending 10k+ mails from Gmail account
I have been observing this for the last 2-3 years (4 postfix servers sysadmin)

Gmail cannot be whitelisted anymore: spam, phishing,... On the other hand, if your users redirect twitter or linkedin notifications from their domain to a gmail account, Google claims you are sending too fast and is suspicious (and throttles or blocks ip).

Hilarious.

n3storm··on Why do RSS readers look like email clients?
RSS readers look like email clientes because due to some osmosis with Usenet readers: https://web.media.mit.edu/~kkarahal/generals/VSpaces/usenet....

and such metaphor exchange predates 2002 NetNewsWire by far.

Many other misconcepts start from here on in the article. Like popularity of RSS due to this software and not due to people acquiring more Internet culture.

Even wikipedia article is off: "According to FeedBurner, NetNewsWire was the most popular desktop newsreader on all platforms in 2005."

NetNewsWire supported platforms in 2005: Macos PPC.

Am I getting all this wrong?

n3storm··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
I am a linux user for 26 years. And used windows since 3.11 up to 2005. After that point I just helped people with windows, never worked with it.

I had this friend while my kid went to school with his kid, he was a musician. He absolutely was frightened of even handling me the mouse of his windows 7 setup in case I break his DAW, cherry audio tools and midi mixers just by me showing him a website. Also helped to switch some dlls (hi didn't know how to kill background task to release dll to be replaced) and edit windows registry cause he needed an upgrade for some pirated software.

I have seen many more nightmarish stuff hapenning in windows, even on holy sacred windows xp.

On the other hand my mother has been using debian xfce in her acer touch screen laptop for 15 years. No issues. Many elder people got in shock when windows 8 made all those changes.

So whenever windows users talk about linux confusion I smirk.

n3storm··on Many hells of WebDAV
If I open a nfs doc with, let's say Libreoffice, will I not download whole file?

On a second thought, I think you are looking at webdav as sysadmins not as developers. Webdav was designed for document authoring, and you cannot author a document, version it, merge other authors changes, track changes without fully controlling resources. Conceptually is much like git needs a local copy.

I can't imagine how to have an editor editing a file and file is changed at any offset at any time by any unknown agent whitouth any type of orchestration.

n3storm··on Many hells of WebDAV
what you mean? a new http extension to access/author resources?
n3storm··on Many hells of WebDAV
Subversion works ok over webdav, it has done it for decades.

Mounting a directory through nfs, smb or ssh and files are downloaded in full before program access them. What you mean? Listing a directory or accessing file properties, like size for example do not need full download.
