i swear, i've been here since 2017 and not once have i once seen a screenshot from a person they wanted to cancel and had it make sense to me
usually i say to myself--how does that screenshot post receipt prove anything??
just today i catch wind of mastodon people complaining about a new influx from twitter and i can't help but think--ah yes, the circle of life uwu
To answer the initial question: This is what makes us nerds happy (in case you didn't expect an answer like this). An interesting experiment for us, too.
What this means in the long run for Codeberg? We're finally - thanks to the expertise and help of some volunteers - ready to expand our hardware infrastructure, making Codeberg more resilient to certain kinds of issues and improving availability in the long run.
Summing up the situation on this #C128.
The necessary steps to get it running in a decent shape were:
- replaced the clock generator (8701)
- replaced a multiplexer ('LS257)
- replaced defective sockets for Char ROM, Vic, CIAs (plus some more, but those were probably not necessary)
- desoldered, disassembled, cleaned, reinstalled the power switch as the innards were heavily oxidized
- deoxidized the power plug, as it was causing a massive voltage drop
- replaced C20 variable capacitor
And, in the meantime, the PSU I was using decided to burn a resistor, because whoever serviced it in the past was a bit of an ass.
The best time capsule is old photos of your kid's room.
But, I'm also a big fan of old bookshelves.
Here's October, 2004.

I made StumpWM work on Debian! All it took was:
- Installing package for StumpWM.
- Forcefully removing package for clx with dpkg.
- Building StumpWM from source w/ ql (surprisingly easy!)
- And replacing Debian-provided binary with the compilation result.
That was tough, but fun. And I like how anarchic Debian is, with any binary replaceable and patchable in place!
Huge thanks to @PuercoPop for the pointer on old clx version! Maybe I should contribute a newer one to Debian? 🤔

Hey hey! Another agrivoltaics study shows that crop yields from fields where plants share space with vertical photovoltaics are the same as, or perhaps a bit higher, than yields from similar fields but without the solar generating infrastructure. There's, like, a handful of these now, at least. This one's from Sweden.
Link to publicly available study is in the article.

i sort of feel like any intersection including cis men, can experience misogyny. The main variables are not what identities and groups you factually belong to; but whether the axis of proximity to womanhood is being used to oppress and bully you.
Which is what happens when a cis man fails to perform masculinity in exactly the acceptable way and gets called a “bitch” a “cock sucker”, a “pussy” or “emotional”.
it’s the very proximity to femininity that is the weapon being used, and I would call that misogyny no matter who it is being used on

it seems i can repeat my own advice to others but cannot follow it myself.
you cannot force emotional or personal catharsis--it more or less dawns on you like an epiphany.
in my case i stress myself out so much that i am under such great tension that i become very very upset--sometimes to the point of serious mental illness.
i think the results of my month-long research into the blog posts i want to produce are now mature. they form a loosely related triptych:
an investigation of the internals of abrahamic religions--judaism, christianity, and islam. i approach the topic from a philosophical perspective, not an historical one.
an investigation of the coincidence between religion and social and political power. putting aside the internal coherence of religion, i want to know: why do people turn to the supernatural in order to ground their sense of social belonging?
finally: a nice, rigorous treatment on 'platonism'. when i was in grad school, i had no choice but to study in the tradition of anglo-american analytic philosophy, where everyone is scrambling to be the loudest and most devout enemy of 'platonism'. so the unwritten/unspoken convention dictates, you had better praise david hume, skeptical empiricism, or give up on an academic career altogether. a bizarre, lobotomised form of kant is as radical or exotic as one is allowed to get. frankly, i am disgusted by these attitudes and i don't care who hears it.
hope you're all well 🙏
Anyone doing any retro programming? I'm wondering if anyone has a line clipping algorithm that is efficient on a 68000.
Given start and end coordinates, I'd like to clip it horizontally or vertically nor both, to a window (specifically within 320 by 200 since I'm on an Atari ST).
The way I'm doing it now requires a bit too many divisions, which are horribly slow on a 68000.
