it hurts my wrists a bit too, sometimes I do it on my elbows to change posture.
I love pullups, and just one-hand hanging, it feels really good for my back. It helps with my sleep somehow, but I don't know why.

This fall, it will have been 4 since I began using #uxn, I feel like writing a kind of review, or some kind of summary of lessons learned during this 4 years adventure into personal computing, interesting events, answering some critiques, talking about some dead-ends and so on.

I've implemented Conway's Game Of Life, in Conway's Fractran, in 416 fractions.

I think I might have written the first ever game in Fractran?
Fractran is a OISC that has multiply as its only operator, it has no ram and a rewrite-style control-flow. It was invented by Conway in the 80s but has been left mostly unexplored.

So I've been thinking about this, and I think it might have been here for a while, but that Netsurf doesn't recognize as a valid attribute. The issue I have with brutaldon is how media loads by default on netsurf, and so the broadband usage is higher than classic mastodon where you can hide media, and have it load only on click.

I got priced of living on land, living on the water is the only way we could stay alive. It's way more affordable than the insane rent prices in Canada. Maybe this is different in other regions too.

> The name Pinocchio is possibly derived from the rare Tuscan form pinocchio (“pine nut”) or constructed from pino (“pine tree, pine wood”) and occhio ("eye").
Does anyone have any theory why the second part of the name is the word for "eye"?

I fear a lot of people think that as the climate gets worse and more scorching where the heat domes occur, that they can escape the desertification down south by heading north, but what's going to happen is that the north will have long been clear cut down to nothing and so they'll find nothing but a worse desert than the one they're trying to escape from.

2024-08-22 16:16:00

We caught up with friends yesterday and they had been contacting Parks Canada, asking about why some of the park toilets up north were systematically being shut down, the answer they got was some bogus excuses, like a tree was close to falling on it(there is no such tree).
After some back and forth they were told that the new people in charge were philosophically opposed to having anyone explore the parks altogether and that they ought to stay home in the cities where they belong.

Permacomputing critics have a really hard time resisting to strawman the concept, they just can't help themselves, once they've boxed-in the whole thing into some reductive pointless hobby, then it's always, but wait! I've got a BETTER NAME for something that's exactly what permacomputing is, but I made it up, it's a word I came up for it all by myself, it's new, and that's better.

I don't think that FOC has to be permacomputing or even low-energy, it can be out of reach to me and that's totally fine. I'm stuck in the past due to our situation I don't wish this onto anyone, and it shouldn't be the threshold to meet.
Slack is the Past Of Coding, being closed and proprietary is directly at odds with the FOC/Malleable mission. I think it should adopt someone that is the future, could it make use of of some prototype from Ink&Switch for example?

2024-06-24 18:54:01

- reply

yeah it's tricky, the FOC catering only to the equipped sends a pretty strong statement, but like you said, now might be a good moment to look at what message it wants to project and which members they choose to facilitate access to.

my point is more, it will keep eroding and they will still not leave. Being able to use slack at all requires computing systems of the year, and excellent connectivity. It's the privileged ones that are allowed to remain.

2024-06-24 18:16:33

the idea of people still using slack in 2024 is a bit ridiculous, if someone didn't jump ship back when the platform started falling apart, I don't think anything like this would make them do it today. They're like Everquest players at this point.

The html5 emulator for Varvara encodes roms in the url so they can be easily shared. The encoding is twofold:
a) A running length compression pass, so series of bytes that look the same are combined:
https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/ulz_format
b) A base64 encoding so the binary data can be represented with readable characters:
https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/base64.html
Both schemes have been implemented in uxn natively:
