One good test on whether a given wiki / #PKM tool is serious or not: does it directly support structured data like dates? No? Just arbitrary frontmatter / properties? Actually that’s better than some cases.

because

It does? Okay, does it let you enter arbitrary dates?

No? It makes you navigate a calendar? Okay, well at least does it let you bounce through year and year spans?

Even though I got out of bed at 3am from first day jitters, making sure to not actually clock in until closer to local human hours.

Currently engaged in the fiddly bits of setting up workspace for multiple simultaneously active devices.

@jnkrtech yah I often use literate programming tools for that approach, like org-babel or Yarner if I insist on writing the post in Markdown.

Picked a pseudo-random modpack — MoonsuExperience — to fart around with Distant Horizons and shader settings. The main engine render distances is 10, with DH rendering to 256.

It’s neat.

Waffling on PKM and SSG setup.

So much waffling.

@cordelya what in the what

Is this on a server?

Or just randomly generated awesomeness?

hackers.town: 2024-08-10 Sat 20:25

@cordelya (oh no they’re piñatas)

According to the upgrade helper plugin, this old Eleventy site I’ve got will work just fine in 3.0.

Well that’s boring. Time to go in and make some edits.

@raganwald There are ways in which running a Web app feels less functional than the days trying to run Word on a 386, watching letters appear well after I typed them.

@kinopio “finished spaces”

what an intriguing idea

I’ll have to explore this.

My computer spontaneously rebooted. It may be time to consider a new system and / or adjust my shader settings.

@benbrown well heck now I have to load up that album.

(I got My copy at Rainy Day Records in Olympia, between a gaming session and a Linux group meetup so yeah was feeling similar vibes at the time)

EDIT: the magazine I was carrying was Mondo 2000, though

hackers.town: 2024-08-07 Wed 08:04

Sudden flashback to Mondo 2000 “R.U. a Cyberpunk?”

(I wasn’t by the poster definition all I had was Linux on a borrowed PC that I’d configured to ignore its bad memory blocks, and an issue of 2600 I uh borrowed yeah borrowed from Barnes & Noble)

It has been sagely pointed out that the limbo time before first paycheck, with stress levels already near peak, may not be the best time to abandon my maladaptive coping mechanisms and honestly minor self-medicating practices.

I can wait a few weeks, for the sake of the rest of the house.
