Hey, I blog with raw TXT!

https://misc.l3m.in/txt/raw_txt.txt

Oh it reminds me of something I created a few years ago (which is _real_ html+css, no js involved): https://codepen.io/lmmm/pen/YwMjyQ

Thanks for this interesting article!

I added it to my sharing link service (kinda like a link blog, I think): https://links.l3m.in/en/

That's a nice little language!

I managed to create a very simple flower-like pattern (here: https://susam.net/cfrs.html#B6FRSF4E2RB2FRCE6 ) just by trial and error after seing one or two examples.

The word document is not "running" Doom (the actual work is done by a dll that is included in the word document). The word document is instead used as a screen (never thought I'd wrote that) to display each frame.

Neat! I learned a few years back that you can use an emoji as a cursor using svg too, here's an example: https://codepen.io/lmmm/pen/LYpxzgV

I was thinking about something like this for a long time, will take a look, thanks!

This is cool!

It reminds me of when I got my own web "server"; I purchased it (for ~50€) after reading this post[0] back in 2017. The optiplex fx160 is still running to this day.

I don't really understand what I'm looking at, but I find the ability to burn or bump, huh, "things" without having to be authenticated intriguing.

The boat is ~40 years old (per their website).

I would like to thank you, too, for your poems.

I'm curious to see the tipping point where content on the internet will no longer be relevant for users: no matter how hard you'll be searching, you'll only find crap generated content designed to lure a bot into thinking it's great content for humans.

The big question is where to go next; where should we (the humans) go to talk and search for things that aren't a den of bots that will flood the entire content until they disgust everyone, as is the case with today's big search engines?

A large part of the population can move on private platforms that use their personal data to generate profit. But I think I'm not the only one who doesn't like this idea.

So the next question becomes "where should we (the humans who want our right to privacy respected) go to talk and search for things, that isn't a den of bots"?

Yeah, if the search is not about something too niche I can find results using the search feature of my share links instance.

Here's a recent example; I searched for "search engine", and found the article I wanted to share ("A look at search engines with their own indexes" by seirdy).

I had the same problem for my bookmarks, but I (kinda) answered it using 2 ways: Random link (when you don't know what to search but want to visit a (curated) cool link), and search (search in title, link, tags, description).

On the paper it works great, if only you can tags those links and write a comprehensive description using keywords you'll remember. But in real life, it's something like this: https://links.l3m.in/en/ and the search barely work (because no tags nor description is not helping).

The project seems cool btw!

Yeah the contrast needs to be improved: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=A6ADBB&...

Really cool project!

A weather plugin for django-cms using darksky api. Finished it, less than a month later darksky was acquired by apple and said that the api will stop working soon.

Emotional design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_Design) as it's finest form, there's a lot to tell behind a tiny little animation.

This is cool. I don't want a 1GB+ download and an entire LLM running on my machine (or worse, on someone else machine) to find words.

What I really want is some simple predictive text engine to make writing in English easier (because its not my first language), helping me find more complex words that I don't use because I don't know them well enough.

Simple and powerful, as the vanilla web should be. Thank you for this (small) gem :)

We're using weasyprint to generate pdf files from data of our websites. It works great, made huge progress those past few years.

(see here for the comments on mastodon: https://octodon.social/@pushcx/111573248477861030)

Thanks! It means a lot to know that some people care about my projects or the curated links I choose to save and share :)

    A proposal, dear reader: Create a list of bookmarks linking to websites you find interesting, and publish it for the world to see. You decide what constitutes “interesting”.

That's exactly what I did with share-links : It's a tool that allow you to easily store and share links of things you like on the web.

Here's the repo where you can find more info (see the file DEPLOY.md if you want to launch an instance on the web): https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links

And here's my own instance, whith over... 4000 links: https://links.l3m.in/

Want to be surprised? Open this link on a new tab: https://links.l3m.in/en/random/

I ususally go with alwaysdata, a tiny, reliable, french hosting solution.

"3-1-4" seems to be the first one :)

I know Shaarli, Pinboard, Linkding... There are multiple solutions, but no single solution seems to be particularly popular outside the technological arena.

I usually have 2-10 tabs open, and ~100 bookmarks. But I save all the interesting links here: https://links.l3m.in/ . If this counts then I'm at 3.9k+ bookmarks.

No screenshot of what it does on the homepage?

Oh, I thought of a way to create json with comments by using a small python overhead.

I wrote about it here: https://misc.l3m.in/txt/json.txt
