I plan on not celebrating my birthday and only bring it up if conversation happens to lead there, or if somebody asks. Usually somebody remembers and offers a dinner or to hang out. Not a fan of big parties! Too much hubbub.

I just shreked my opensuse

You can write code blocks with a special syntax that makes silverbullet interpret the code block as a script and executes it. It’s referred to as space script in the documentation iirc. You can add commands, text transformers, etc with ease.

The live query templating system is super neat too, I have a few subsections in my notes with an index page that automatically lists all child pages with a summary of the page, if I’ve written one for that page.

+1 to silverbullet. Been using it for a long portion of its lifetime, I love that you can adjust it and add functionality by writing pages in the editor

Minecraft’s been around since 2009, classicube is specifically based on the classic version from ~2010

[–] andrew@radiation.party 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Classicube doesn’t redistribute any mojang-owned assets, it can download them from mojang’s public CDN on startup if no textures are found though.

The web version and itch.io release both include assets made specifically for redistribution with cc

Classicube is sweet. Available on every 3d console under the sun, and every major os since dos.

[–] andrew@radiation.party 1 points 2 months ago

Using something other than windows as your primary OS, and interfacing with windows through a virtual machine where necessary.

Not really a real solution, though, but some folks make it work pretty well.

Likes/upvotes are “Yeah!”s and there are miis associated with each post

My point was that it’s one of a very short list of free top-level domains, and was likely chosen because it was free and didn’t have the same reputation that, say, .tk had.

I doubt that was literally their intent, it’s just a free TLD

Probably “shiny gold”- it was super impressive for the time period but was never finished officially and didn’t age super well.

 

This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

 

The host I was using for radiation.party became extremely unreliable, extremely quickly, leading to an extended downtime while I worked on finding a good alternative.

I've shoved my lemmy instance onto one of my other dedicated servers for the time being, with the goal of eventually migrating it to its own beefier server.

There will be, unfortunately, a flood of posts for missed content on current sources. This has already happened as of me posting this post, so I sowwy.

If you'd like to help fund shoving this community onto a beef boy server, let me know here - I might set up a tipjar or something to allow folks to contribute at will.

 

Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike.

This morning, I've updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains:

"blockedPhrases": [
	"couches",
	"vegan",
	"diet",
	"progressives",
	"save $",
	"astrology",
	"disney plus",
	"hulu",
	"apple deals",
	"prime day",
	"linoleic acid",
	"freedom caucus",
	"mental health",
	"laptop deals",
	"smart gadget",
	"and your money",
	"folding phones",
	"chatgpt"
]

If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.

 

The current list is pretty small, I’d love to expand it- so let me know what tech-oriented news sources you’d like to see!
