spacebuffer··on Windows 3.1 tiled background .bmp archive
the leaves one is really nice.
spacebuffer··on Some Words on WigglyPaint
this sounds very effective. I obviously understand you wouldn't want to explain how LLM detection works, but would it be possible to know which forge your using?
spacebuffer··on Tech employment now significantly worse than the 2008 or 2020 recessions
I am in my 20s. At the moment I've got a part time job, but I am preparing myself for the worse. In the next few years I am planning to volunteer at farms through workaway. Maybe one day I can become self sustainable,tech and nutrition wise

also getting into plumbing, curious to see what others are doing in this regard.

spacebuffer··on Password managers less secure than promised
What to do if my house catches on fire, including my computer where the passwords are stored?
spacebuffer··on Keep Android Open
For me as a desktop linux poweruser, I find this potential transition pretty intimidating, I've never flashed a phone with a custom rom let alone switch to a completely different OS, and I am not sure if the phone can even be reset to its original OS, if things go south.

I'd use git in this case, I am sure there are other reasons to use overleaf otherwise it wouldn't exist but this seems like a solved issue with git.
spacebuffer··on Ask HN: Share your personal website
I love your site! the typography is very nice, especially the body typeface
spacebuffer··on Magit Is Amazing
Neogit is a magit inspired client for neovim. really worth checking out
spacebuffer··on RFCs: Blueprints of the Internet
Tangent questions:

- What RFCs are useful to read if I want to learn networking well

- I heard that the best way to learn low-level programming is by rebuilding already existing programs. what high quality RFCs can I use as a guide to code-my-own <so and so program>

spacebuffer··on Nine things I learned in ninety years
Any particular books you recommend? people keep mentioning _how to win friends and influence people_ and I am not sure if it's just mindless productivity gurus hype

> 3) to consider what others may be thinking and feeling

Personally I find myself often considering how other people might feel too much and end up being a people pleaser, so I need to work on that aspect of my social skills

spacebuffer··on The elegance of movement in Silksong
8 Years ago an indie studio released Hollow Knight, and it became a critically acclaimed game.

~ a year later the team announced a DLC called silksong but silksong grew so much that they decided to turn it to a full sequel.

The game went through so much delays that it's release became sort of a meme

spacebuffer··on The elegance of movement in Silksong
I also didn't like hollow knight despite loving hades and dead cells (somewhat similar) although I only played it for ~ 2 hours

I am loving silksong so far however

spacebuffer··on Show HN: rm-safely – A shell alias that moves files to trash instead of deleting
I don't think aliasing rm is a good idea because you might get used to rm=safe and cause a problem on an ssh server where this utility isn't installed

spacebuffer··on I kissed comment culture goodbye
Anyone know any forums where you can be sure you're talking to humans and feel like you're in a close knit community?

I am not talking about reddit subs, maybe something more niche, even for hobbies outside computing.

The only place where I felt in company of real humans is a couple of niche IRC channels, where someone without fail always asks me how my day is going whenever I join, I am looking for places like that.

spacebuffer··on Poisoning Well
Your initial comment made sense after reading through the openai docpage. so I opened up my site to add those to robots.txt, turns out I had added all 3 of those user-agents to my robots file [0], out of curiosity I asked chatgpt about my site and it did scrape it, it even mentioned articles that have been published after adding the robots file

spacebuffer··on When did AI take over Hacker News?
Surprised by how much job postings decreased, in the span of 3 years. Great Graph.
spacebuffer··on Ask HN: Advice for someone choosing a college path
> Dude, no. If you don't want to study your major in college I know I don't love it but I haven't looked into this major enough to know if I actually hate it. That's actually what I am asking: _Would_ i want to study this? and by I i mean someone who loves building cool stuff on the internet.
spacebuffer··on Typst: An easy to learn alternative for LaTex
This is very interesting, seems to be like LaTex + a whole lot more.

I need to generate udemy-style certificates for a project I am working on. are there any guides on generating PDFs with typst?

spacebuffer··on The demise of the mildly dynamic website (2022)
Semi-related: what's the best place to learn the old school style of working with php, I already know laravel but it feels so far removed from normal php that I am not confident working with it on it's own.
spacebuffer··on Thoughts on the Future of Software Development
I think he's refering to posts like this[0] rather than the shiny new tool people usually get excited about.

spacebuffer··on Paul Alexander, ‘the man in the iron lung’, has died
it is indeed iron-y...
spacebuffer··on Go run
I am new to go, how do people usually run go code in production?
spacebuffer··on Speak Friend and Enter – Do people use movie passwords? (2018)
good one!
spacebuffer··on CSS Is Logical
My guess would be that HTML and CSS originally were meant to deal with sites that resemble a paper document (i.e. a collection of A4 papers) so it tries to be consistent with that:

- the maximum width of a paper document is simply the width of a piece of A4 => so an element can have a well defined width, that being a percentage of the width of the document

- the maximum height of a paper document though.. doesn't exist as you can always add more papers, similarly css can't define the height as a certain percent of the document, so it chose to look at it's own child elements.

spacebuffer··on Speak Friend and Enter – Do people use movie passwords? (2018)
No rycbar123 from Doctor Who, I guess whovians are safe for the time being
spacebuffer··on How to Study (2023)

- #darkscience on the darkscience server

- #linux and #indieweb on libera.chat

- #talk on snoonet
