Codeberg puts a restriction of 750 megs per person for forked/created repositories. The problem: Guix repo is 618 megs and growing. So, with Guix forked and personal website occupying 60 megs, I'm almost hitting the quota. And I didn't even fork Guile yet! I'm worried, but I at least believe Codeberg will warn me when I hit the limit.

Short survey to tell the gov't of Canada to stop investing in fossil fuel and invest in education instead (English version linked): https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/consultations/2025/pre-budget-consultations-2025.html

Thanks @researchfairy for sharing!

(Well, you can tell them whatever you want to in the survey, that's just my humble suggestion.)

@f4grx @Datassette_User A few years ago I ended up with what has become my favourite compact flash card. It is milled out of aluminium and has a holographic sticker on the back. It would be awesome to have a matching floppy disc!

Most economists agree that by the time you're 45, you should own:
- a variety of capes
- at least two enchanted talking skulls
- one square mile of the moon
- a hovercraft capable of outrunning the law
- a ghost filled mansion on the moors
How are you doing?

In his recent FediCon talk, Evan Prodromou implicitly rationalized his collaboration with Meta by proclaiming, "you don't negotiate with friends". Maybe not, but you don't hand enemies the keys to your kingdom either, which is exactly what he has done by giving Meta seats at the table of the ActivityPub working group. And for that matter, accepting a relatively significant sum of money from those enemies to fund your foundation goes rather beyond the negotiation phase as well, does it not?

As it stands, we have a hostile element enmeshed in the development process which undergirds the entire network, all the while systematically violating every last consent boundary the fedi has defined and defended over the course of its history. This is a power imbalance so egregious and amoral that it negates the raison d'etre of the fediverse altogether. Meta must be removed from SWICG

I wonder if archive.org could be convinced to introduce a formal, mirror-only code hosting service. Code upload and display only, no collaboration features. I know they're already hosting a lot of vcs repos (the bitbucket backups, for example) so it might not require much change at their own end to bridge to a "GitHub-alike", you'd only need an HTML code viewer (which could be generated AOT like an SSG even) and a dedicated button on the search frontend.

"He soon underwent a second operation to replace the metal plate in his head with one of his own design"

I've just uploaded a scan of my (xeroxed) manual for the "C7420 Home Computer Module" to @internetarchive.

The C7420 is a #BASIC cartridge with #Z80 CPU and RAM expansion for the Philips #G7400 (#MagnavoxOdyssey2) #Videopac+ video game console.

I did not find any manual for that online - neither Enlish nor German. So, here you are:

in which I write a "map editor" that's just the McCLIM formatting-table macro like it says on the back of the box.

(Dynamically resizing rows and columns of) symbols for now, I'll do images (named by the symbols) later.

I also briefly describe c. 2005 LAN parties in the context of WC3 being where I first heard the words "map editor" decades before I knew about computers.
