I would like the ability to do a CLI-only build since I only really use the ebook-convert command. Never felt the need to "manage" my ebooks.

After typing in a bunch of programs on my 1KB Sinclair ZX-81 I wanted to understand how they worked and wanted to make some of my own.

Small bug: changing the sort-order loses the filter settings.

But looks great overall! I've already rediscovered some of my older favorites and looking forward to finding new stuff too.

Also, any chance of making the filtered/sorted list downloadable as a CSV? In some cases this would be more convenient than paging through the web UI.

Gentoo is great if you know how you want things to work and know Linux well enough to make it happen. Gentoo gives you flexibility, transparency and great tooling to help you get there.

It's a very useful tool too, I use it semi-regularly. Besides being RPN it's also arbitrary precision so for example 2 10000 ^ p gives the right result.

I am sorry but this is just completely wrong. Look at the live feed of mastodon.social which will give you an actual sampling of what people talk about and tell me how many Linux related comments do you see among the first 100 or so. I got 2 on my first try and 0 on the second.

I happen to be a long time Linux user but I don't seek out Linux stuff on Mastodon. My feed is mostly boardgame related stuff which is what I am here for and what I follow. There is no algorithm so what you get entirely depends on what you follow.

Maybe other tools support this too but one thing I like about xdiskusage is that you can pipe regular du output into it. That means that I can run du on some remote host that doesn't have anything fancy installed, scp it back to my desktop and analyze it there. I can also pre-process the du output before feeding it into xdiskusage.

I also often work with textual du output directly, just sorting it by size is very often all I need to see.

At the moment you can't even use the web UI without installing the official app so I am skeptical.

Back when the development was still going at a breakneck speed I was always worried that a new patch might break my HotS Wine setup. But during all that these years there was only a single week when I couldn't play. Somehow the Wine stack was always just good enough to keep up with the changes. For example DXVK came along just in time when the DX9 rendering was no longer supported.

Nice, this is League right? I have well over 10K games of Heroes of the Storm going back to 2015, all on Linux using Wine. I am queuing up for the next one right now.

The App Store and Android Market launches were pretty damn close. The iOS app-store launched July 2008 and the first Android consumer device (G1) shipped September 2008 and it had the market from day 1.

Worth noting that iOS users had to wait a full year for the app store after the iPhone 1 launch because Jobs didn't want it at first. I had both devices fairly early on and on the iPhone side we were running "apps" on jailbroken devices months before the app store existed.

Looking at the code it seems to be getting the feed from the mastodon.social instance's federated timeline. So it's definitely not streaming "the fediverse" but a decent chunk of it.

I am on Gentoo. It's not really a goal for me to stick with it, I am pretty pragmatic about these choices. What I value about Gentoo is the flexibility and the lack of magic. The ability to fully own and understand my system. I know what's installed, what's running and why. It's up to me if I want to use systemd or something else, do I want pulseaudio, pipewire or just plain ALSA, X11 or Wayland, what type of desktop environment to use (if any). I can easily apply local patches if needed, I can build a package from git or stick to some old version if I prefer. I know how I want things to work and Gentoo lets me get there. If I found a better way to do it I'd switch. Maybe something like NixOS someday but I am not ready for those trade-offs yet.

The reason I've been maintaining the same image for so long is that I didn't have a reason to rebuild it. I've always been able to make the changes I needed. I re-did the image when going from 32 to 64 bit because it was less work.

That's something that beginners do to entertain themselves. My desktop image has been rolling forward since 2013 (when I switched to 64 bit userspace) and it has survived through several generations of hardware.

The last paragraph notes this is not X11 specific, Wayland is affected too it's just that a bug prevents it from working when the FF window is not focused.

phones are going to ruin everything

they kinda did.

I must admit that I didn't realize that we were on c/F-Droid :) But I just gave it a go in termux and got it working there too:

    
apt install pandoc groff ghostscript
pandoc in.md -o out.pdf --pdf-engine=pdfroff

  

I use pandoc:
pandoc input.md -o out.pdf

It can use LaTeX or pdfroff for the PDF generation as well as some other backends that I haven't tried yet. The --pdf-engine flag lets you choose between them.
