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.
@wezm are pleroma notifications working?
@blog Test reply.
@catalina @wzqtparor@pawoo.net I upgraded to Pleroma 1.0 yesterday. It’s possible that this implemented something that was missing or fixed a bug. Glad it’s working now.
@catalina Hmm still getting the hang of Pleroma. Do you know how to fix this?

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: https://git.nzoss.org.nz/alcinnz/stylish-haskell
And I've just gotten around to blogging about it: https://odysseus.adrian.geek.nz/misc/2019/06/24/my-css-engine.html
@DHeadshot there are some interesting ideas in there like occupying as little space as possible. I’ve added it to my list of inspiration
@DHeadshot No but it seems to be a stacking WM (did I miss a detail). I'm definitely looking for something with tiling (like Awesome's layouts)
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 https://desktop.institute/
I set up a Pleroma instance at https://decentralised.social/ my account there is @wezm I'm still testing it out before migrating fully but feel free to follow that account.
@codesections I’ve been planning a new desktop build recently too. I also feel uneasy about water near the machine. From my research machines do run cooler with liquid cooling but the pump noise can still be non-trivial. Additionally the mean time between failure on pumps is about half that of fans. I have no desire to overclock so have decided to build my system with the well liked Noctua brand coolers.
@bcallah I toyed with an idea a while back, sort of on demand package build service where you could submit a job that would run on machines like this in the cloud and deliver you the result.

Anyone using #Vagrant on #FreeBSD? Maybe we could team up to implement #bhyve support? #VirtualBox is giving me hard time.
@wiktor Hmm you gave me an idea. What if I took sway and modified it to work how I want... 🤔
@wiktor hah :) Thanks for reading
@wiktor Yep ;-) https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/101401693951934069 I like Awsome’s dynamic layouts model more than the i3/sway model. At this point though maybe it’s worth giving sway another go (or hacking it to do what I want).
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. #stenography #NetBSD #rust
@mmstick I was fine with regular GNOME on Arch until I started using Awesome. Now positioning or resizing windows manually, or having them overlap seems backward. I basically want Awesome and a display manager that properly handles displays coming and going at this point.
