Hello all. My new self hosted Pleroma server seems to be working well so I’m going to make that my primary account. Follow @wezm for future toots.

Seeing the calls to switch to Safari or Firefox from Chrome (hey, have I told you about Odysseus?) I want to say once again that we should be developing new browser engines to fight the collapse in browser divirsity! We need the web to simplify!

Who's interested? I've developed a CSS engine to help you: git.nzoss.org.nz/alcinnz/styli

And I've just gotten around to blogging about it: odysseus.adrian.geek.nz/misc/2

Following on from my post, "A Tiling Desktop Environment", this weekend I built a new website to document my thinking and research as I consider the comments received, try out suggestions, and look into the state of open source desktop environments. It's called Desktop Institute. You can find it at desktop.institute/

Ordered a Raspberry Pi Zero today to do some experimentation running my Rust stenography engine on the Pi and have it act as a keyboard. Ultimately it would be good to run it on a microcontroller but first steps first. I’m thinking I might try using NetBSD as the OS.

I think I’ll try GNOME with PaperWM. I tried KDE on this laptop on the weekend and no windows would show up!? There were entries in the task bar but no visible windows.

Using a laptop that is sometimes connected to an external display with Awesome is killing me. Runtime errors from awesome, external display not working somethings, display manager (lightdm) crashes taking out the whole session blaaargh 🙁

offering obsolete X terminal computer hardware 

I have three ~20-year-old X terminals (Tektronix/NCD NC200) which I'd ship to you if you're into obsolete computing hardware. I haven't plugged them in for ages but I did get them to work once upon a time, and it should still be possible to use them with modern X applications. It's also supposed to be able to run Java 1.1 applets via "Netscape NC Navigator", a bespoke browser build, but I never tried that.

The required OS image, which has to be served over the network, is still available from the current owner of the product line, and I've saved a copy just in case: thinpathsystems.com/index.php? (That's labeled a "patch" but it actually contains the entire system software.)

Somebody's notes for configuring a similar product for use with Linux are at bio.gsi.de/DOCS/NCD/xp200_linu and there's general advice on the required network environment in several of the old Linux HOWTOs:
tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterminals/inde
tldp.org/HOWTO/NCD-X-Terminal.
tldp.org/HOWTO/XDM-Xterm/index

Wondering why mutter vendors forked versions of clutter and cogl 🤔

In my GTK travels last night I also discovered the broadway GTK backend. It renders GTK apps via a server in the browser. Here it is showing a quite responsive and faithful rendition of gedit. For more info check out the main developers blog: blogs.gnome.org/alexl/

TIL mutter depends on zenity (a command line tool that generates Gtk dialogs), which in turn depends on webkit2gtk. Seems a little excessive but I suppose if you assume both dependencies are part the wider platform and would be installed anyway it makes sense to make use of them.
