That can happen if you make a major change such as major update to the binaries (ie a software update) while the screen is locked. Or because the screen “saver” / “locker” crashed.

That’s a … really well defined threat…

Gentoo, after a 15 year break where I used Ubuntu / Arch. Might try NixOS or something similar.

KDE for desktop env.

Played 4 first, if you do that you really notice the retrocons etc. I figure in order probably works best.

Thanks. I didn’t know, it is also on my list.

That part was understood. I don’t think I could complete 1 game in that period of time.

Not sure 12 hours is enough time for me to grab much. Perhaps my backlog.

Forgot /dev/hdx ?

Age old rule, invert the statement; they aren’t ready, don’t start now they don’t think it would be fair.

The busybox one seems great as it comes with shells. php looks like it would add some issues.

Personally since I use go, I would create a go embedded app, which I would make a deb, rpm, and a dockerfile using “goreleaser”

package main

import (
	"embed"
	"net/http"
)

//go:embed static/*
var content embed.FS

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		// Serve index.html as the default page
		http.ServeContent(w, r, "index.html", nil, content)
	})

	// Serve static files
	http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", http.FileServer(http.FS(content))))

	// Start the server
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

Would be all the code but allows for expansion later. However the image goreleaser builds doesn’t come with busybox on it so you can’t docker exec into it. https://goreleaser.com/customization/docker/

Most of the other options including the PHP one seem to include a scripting language or a bunch of other system tools etc. I think that’s overkill

In contrast 2009 was a actually a very bad year for a lot of people. I think what you’re feeling is pretty normal. Try create some new fun, don’t do too much in terms of recreating things except to confirm / dis-confirm memories.

Anyone else here concerned about what this means for the health of the ecosystem? If reddit was never sustainable and we are well and truly past a phase of consolidation there is potentially a lot of history / info to loose here. The damage has been done already by the funding model. While the return to federation and private hosting is nice, there is a potential “dark” age.

I feel discord does really well because the way it structures it “servers” really focuses around individuals rather than groups. Which then creates an incentive for a certain type of person to “grow their server” bringing more activity onto discord. This is confounded by both a) you join all channels on a server, 2) the ability of individuals to “mute” servers or channels; combined it means it fills up with a bunch of idlers in a way which is worse than IRC as it’s unlikely they will ever read the contents or participate beyond asking a question then leaving.

Limited time to build something so you have to pick based on a couple factors, often largest % of users.

Definitely related to the fall of usenet. The fact that it’s ungoverned and standard, but the immediately obvious fix is not a situation people want either.

Tried beeper?

What about Zig? But I would have to agree that C++ does seem to be holding Qt back from adoption, minus where there are decent bindings.
