  • AI is technology. An old man rambling about nonsense is not technology. If he was rambling about blueberry pie that wouldn't make this a cooking article.

  • minecraft tas... without load skips?

    Jump

  • Sure, but I feel like the "TAS" part needs a qualifier. Normally a TAS is the logical extreme of a human run. It's like a player piano, it's a script that could in principle be played on the real game.

    But a real life runner versus a minecraft "TAS" wouldn't be in the same ballpark, because the real life runner can't magically skip all the load times. It just feels disingenuous to call this a TAS, unless there's a way to real-time verify it.

    Jump

  • Debian or Ubuntu because they're stable and well-funded. Makes a lot of stuff easier.

  • Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs

    Jump

  • code editors might have the features you want, and its easy to repurpose a code editor into a notes app.

    sync a folder between your devices (syncthing is great for this) and put markdown text files in it. I like to call this folder "Memo" since its like writing letters to myself.

    edit the markdown using VS Code (desktop) or Carbon (android). I haven't tested whether Carbon can do this, but I know in VS Code, you can reorder a list with keyboard shortcuts.

    click anywhere on a line of text, then hold Alt and press Up arrow, and the text will swap places with the line above it.

    edit: Syncthing and Carbon are open source. VS Code has some proprietary code added by Microsoft, but none of it is relevant to your use case, so you may prefer the fork called Codium.

  • Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster?

    Jump

  • "personal" and "trustless" seem sort of at odds here. you want personal data, so you want personal storage.

    what I recommend, if you have the time and energy, is to find another self-hoster you trust and be "backup buddies" with them. set up remote file storage on both your networks and send your backups to the other person's server.

    if you can't find another self-hoster, then find a friend or family member you trust and mail them your backups on a physical disk.

  • [Debian Stable] Which Static Blog Generator: blag, Jekyll, Hugo, Lektor, Pelican, staticsite?

    Jump

  • 11ty is my favorite! cross-platform, good defaults, built-in tag support, and just generally good learning curve.

  • Best tool for creating a basic business website

    Jump

  • My favorite static site generator by far is Eleventy, which you can learn by reading their sample code at eleventy-base-blog. It uses NodeJS which runs on all major platforms, and it generates plain old HTML that you can put on any static host. I played with several of the generators on the Jamstack list, and decided that this is the one I'm most comfortable recommending. It has a very high power-to-effort ratio, you can do some really useful stuff with very little knowledge. I'm using it on my personal site, https://nycki.net/, to automatically generate a "navbar" on every page, plus an RSS feed for my blog. It's also nice for generating "prev/next" links under articles.

  • hell yes!

  • What should I expect upon switching from windows?

    Jump

  • I think the biggest culture shock for a lot of people is "fewer surprises, more options." On my machine at least, updates don't run automatically -- I might get a notification that "updates are available" but that's it, I still have to say "okay, now is a good time to update", it won't surprise me with them.

    Similarly, if I want to set a hotkey for like "take a screenshot of the current application", I can do that! But the downside is that it might not be set up by default, I have to go to settings -> hotkeys or something similar.

    Linux "gets out of your way" and lets you solve problems, but that also means it's not always going to solve them for you. It's getting better at this over time -- if lots of people have the same problem, the solution might get merged "upstream", but a lot of things are still "well, how do YOU want it to work?".

  • this is my sticking point with fish. I still need to know bash for writing portable scripts, so its hard to justify scripting in fish.

  • Which browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • I still use firefox despite their questionable leadership, for one major reason: it prevents Google from setting whatever web standards they want. Sites that aren't standards compliant will usually still work in Chromium-based browsers, but they will break in Firefox, and then I can report the bugs.
