Forums really have to get back in the world. I’m trying to ditch discord and move everyone to GitHub discussions for a project (have removed all invite links, just using it for me as a « webhook monitor »). Some people are still there when they have questions on how to use the project (because they prefer speaking in French rather than English).

I was thinking more like just having dockers on macOS

But running a Linux like asahi is an option

Joke on them, I don’t read ads!

What do you mean, I’d love to see ai design a potato

And they justified with

I’m having a mental health crisis right now. What I said was wrong, I could not see that a few days ago. Take whatever you want from that. I am sorry. Please stop piling on now that I have removed everything. I am seriously ill and need to stop being involved in anything for several months.

(Leaving the end out as it can be triggering, talking about death)

I don’t know what to make of this.

I love the Nintendo DS. Slips right into your pocket, can play anywhere, a huge catalog of games, easy to add an R4 to it. It can even play GBA games!

Well I mean if you want to pay 99$ each year, yes

I created a discord server for an open source project of mine, but grew to dislike it. It got spammed multiple times, people are off topic and talking about their lives in channels that aren’t for that, and so I started pushing the community toward GitHub discussions.

Discord isn’t searchable, nor archivable, nor public, but GitHub is (I’m aware of another conflict with Microsoft for some people, but to me this is the easiest solution to get contributors and have an easy CI setup).

I haven’t had much success yet, but I’m slowly shutting down all links to the discord and will let it die (for outside contributors at least). I might keep it to stay in touch with a few developers, to refine issues and prepare migrations that aren’t ready to be turned into public discussions/ issues / pull requests.

I use a plain 34 keys layout based on qwerty for letters, comma/dot/semicolon. The numpad and symbols layers are handcrafted so that every symbol is easy to reach, it’s also optimize to type things like <- and -> easily

I understand the philosophy of not wanting to transfer your rights, but I don’t understand what’s bad about contributing to a project and having your code given to the community (as-in copyright transfer to the organisation). Would this be because the org/owner can just start selling the code or is there something that I’m missing?

That is, until the community reverse engineer the communication between the tablet and keyboard. It’s through the 5 pins, serial iirc? The complicated part would be to produce/find a decent keyboard

This isn’t selfhosted but you can use uptime robot. They can send regular http get requests or ping an IP or URL, the free tier can have like 10 monitors I think? I receive an email when an host isn’t available, in 5 minutes usually.

The hori split pads are great, but you can’t use them wirelessly. And the adapter that exists to use the pad not on the Switch is wired. Otherwise it’s 100% better and have really nice joysticks (now I can’t use that as an excuse for loosing on Mario kart…)

I don’t understand what this has to do with my post?

Luckily the GB(A) consoles are the easiest to mod nowadays, to add backlight, rechargeable battery, better audio… IMHO this is still the best way to enjoy GB/GBA games, instead of emulators which can be buggy/force me to stay on the computer (or worse, on my phone)

Funny playing IPS v3 and shell+buttons (for IPS), clean juice rechargeable battery. They both have guides and that’s the only thing I needed.

That’s up to everyone on here to participate in the development of the product!

Alas I don’t think this will happen, people prefer when stuff is done without doing it themselves, because then you need to take responsibilities (myself included)

That could be because of duckduckgo anti tracking system running 24/7 on my phone haha

It doesn’t load for me, and according to the way back machine (it couldn’t save the readme somehow?) it redirects to a framagit repo that wants me to create an account.

Well that’s a bit of both: I need to be able to get on my server from work (with my phone… Yeah not great but that works), because I often break stuff haha ; also a nice thing to have when I’m on the bus and want to add more music or movies to listen to during the travel!

Are there ISPs that don’t provide dynamic IPs? I had to setup a script and get some API keys for different services to ensure the IP is properly updated on my DNS servers.

Speaking of brutality, I considered doing the same but then I would have banned myself from testing the APIs of my services 🤧
