@MililaniVF@glitch.social printer ink has some non-trivial requirements (dry quickly, no smearing) but mostly it's because printers are too cheap

"The manufacturer will make most of its money from the printer cartridges you buy later. Even if the company does make a bit of money from each printer sold, it makes a much larger profit margin on ink. Rather than selling you a printer that may be rather expensive, they want to sell you a cheap printer and make money on an ongoing basis by providing expensive printer ink."

@polychrome @qbi onion bruteforcing is fun, iirc from 7 characters on is where it starts to take more time/resources

@olang@mastodon.social @trickster@mastodon.technology I've been running Gitea instances for quite a while now, and it's super nice. Super light-weight and near zero maintenance

you never realize how many times you swallow on a day until it hurts a lot every time you do it

@lowpolybrain ah yes I guess JSX is the right term. It gets rendered once into plain html in the build step. Indeed I want it all to be focused on progressive enhancement. So everything that could work without JS should work without JS

working on yet another static site generator: Dynamo
git.pixie.town/f0x/dynamo

because all the others don't do what I want :>
it'll do:

- get MDX from directory structure, put as static index.html in the right build folder
- do themeing with react
- postcss for css transformations
- livereload for dev

it already does livereloading, postcss transformations and basic MDX parsing, all in one evening :D

I've just set up tiny-lr + chokidar for livereloading my webapp. Now the question remains, who livereloads the livereloader

@izaliamae the 1984.is webpanel is the nicest I've ever used for DNS, it's free (even if you bought your domain elsewhere) and pretty reliable

smh what point does an airlock have if you can open both doors at the same time

ah, I guess mother does have access to microphones in each room, just had to keep that hidden for the plot

gee, who could've thought two other kids would've 'dissapeared'.
Obviously the robot is still testing how best to raise children. Daughter has the number 3 and was raised alone....

I wonder how much better movies would be if they'd visit a hackerspace with the script and let them critique all the tech stuff involved. (And similar with other disciplines, but from my pov tech always seems to be portrayed with the least realism)

I Am Mother spoilers 

pff, watching I Am Mother, but oof is that bunker poorly designed...
- robot turns off during power outage, even though it walks around with a battery?
- no way to give possibly contaminated people medical support without just allowing them inside your place

also the robot seems to be about as observant as a human, why isnt it hooked up to lots of cameras around the bunker, opening logs of airlock/different rooms, other sensors

cyberpunk as a genre will probably cease to exist :( 

but it'll be replaced by documentaries I guess...

@goat@hellsite.site let your laptop honk at them :goose:

Vsauce Michael was mortal once and he misses it but is honestly dealing with immortality pretty well so far all things considered

@Trysdyn even 2gb of ram shouldn't cost you 300$ a year though

@Trysdyn yes, it's decreased *a lot*. ~5eur a month Hetzner vps will probably be able to federate with just about anything
