Isn’t a “more correct” description of BitTorrent that each client is also a server? I’m not sure exactly how the protocol is written, but I assume each connection acts like a client-server one depending on the direction of data flow. With that in mind the fediverse is distributed social media. There’s nothing stopping you from spinning up an instance on say, your phone, making an account on it and federating with the other instances you like. Now your phone is both client and server, just like in BitTorrent. This setup would even match the functionality of only seeding when on. If you turn off your instance it would go offline and any non-federated data would not hit the web until you booted it back up, aka started seeding again. Defederating would act like removing a torrent from your list. Multiple users per server is where I think the analogy begins to break. Not sure what the BitTorrent equivalent would be.

Edit: Maybe SoulSeek is a better parallel??

Ohhhh. I had no idea. I assumed it was just for the bit. I just picked up 3, so I guess I’ll need to go play the first two before I dive into it.

Pardon the all caps, the games name is in all caps and is a 3 not 2

BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT

Oof. This hurt my soul. I tell myself it’s worth it “for the reproducibility”

Tidal is owned by Jay-Z so it’s not a ton better, though the hi-fi and paying artists better was enough reason for me for now. With easy migration too, it made the most sense to also quickly get my family off of the Spotify family plan. I’m also trying to grow my offline music library again, and Tidal being hi-fi “allows” for some interesting usability to that end. Ripping CDs and buying on Bandcamp has also been a good shift!

The most artist centric option would probably be that final one. Buying CD or digital albums directly from artists and growing your offline library. Toss Jellyfin on something and you have your own personal streaming platform!

Came for the open source trans autism, stayed for the…well I stayed for the open source trans autism too, but you get my point.

I’m sort of in flux again. I swapped from KeePass to Unix Pass, which is meant more for use in a terminal. Now due to the operating system I’m using I’m motivated to swap yet again, but I’m not sure I would suggest what I’m swapping to for folks that don’t have the same use case.

Generally I like KeePass as something more approachable than the more “power user” type tools, but more private than cloud based password managers like LastPass or 1Password.

Maybe eventually, but we should focus on juusssstttt one or two issues here on earth first.

I’m also going to suggest going down an IEM research rabbit hole, but I’ve got some specific reasons why. I think a big misconception is that this style earbud goes IN your ear. They do not. IEMs go in the opening of your ear canal. This means a few things. The wires over your ear should be doing the primary lifting. Take some time to mold the wires to sit snugly over and behind your ear. Next is the rubber/foam ear tips. These should probably be bigger than you’d expect since the goal isn’t to shove them into your ear, it’s to make a seal against the opening of your ear canal.

Someone else mentioned Crinacle and his channel is a great resource. I have two pairs of IEMs from Truthear, one that was a recommendation of his for the price point and another that is his collab with Truthear. I like them both, but I use the first one, the Hexa, a lot more purely because they live plugged into my desk and the other, the zero blue 2, is for my hi-fi portable audio player.

Not saying these are the end-all-be-all, best choice, just that they were my introduction to IEMs and I’ll never go back to other wired headphones.

Purely visual art probably Moebius. Sort of set the tone for a lot of art I like across all mediums.

Been very interested in NixOS on mobile. Would love more thoughts and some details about the process of getting it installed. What window manager are you using?

I’ve been loving Niri!! It feels like how my brain organizes my thoughts. Plus there’s some subtle things I love. Like user set window size is always respected when opening and resizing other windows or the built in screenshot tool.

I have also been recommended River multiple times and it also sounds very interesting so I’ll be checking that out at some point, but I think Niri will be my home for a while.

I love these books so dearly! My older brother and I both read them as kids and then again as teens. The world building and lore goes surprisingly deep, with Mossflower feeling akin to Tolkien’s Silmarillion. There was even an animated series that was broadcast on public television that was surprisingly good! It’s all available on YouTube now. The quality of the animation is questionable at times, but they capture the whimsy very well.

When I was still using it I used Syncthing to distribute copies to multiple devices and that distributed nature also functioned as a backup.

There’s lots of people, myself included, that would help you out. The only games I can’t play on my Linux install are games with invasive anti cheat. That goes for steam games, games with their own launchers, and games from DRM free installers like from GoG and…other places. Cyberpunk specifically I have a lot of time in running perfectly across 4 different Linux distros. It can definitely work for you too.

Might be able to just get the phone back in working order.

EDIT: And a retailer for the screen assembly for good measure.

I didn’t know about this. Does WebHID work? I having to install chrome or edge or something just to use a web based keyboard configuration and flash tool.

Ohhhhhhh. That scratched something in my brain. The viewing multiple tags. That’s on the fly special workspaces. Or maybe dynamic would be the better word. Like any tag can become that floating workspace. Presumably you could script context awareness into that too…Okay okay. I will be giving River a try. I’m in the throes of refactoring my nix config, but once I’ve got something stable again I’ll make sure to break it by installing River!

Yeah, I do feel you about Niri being “bigger” than other options and thus leaves the whole Unix philosophy a bit. Though I can’t say I’m mad about it coming with screenshots built in because I struggled getting screenshots working for my entire stay on Arch. I didn’t try super hard, just had other fish to fry, but it was a nice out of box experience and functions a lot like the screenshot utility I used while on windows and feels a lot like the screenshot system on OSX from when I was there on school laptops in my teens.

I can also totally understand the getting lost part. Though over time that issue has gone away for me because I keep specific windows in specific workspaces and those workspaces in specific spots relative to each other. Though this is why River sounds interesting. Being able to set a tag for a workspace and then assign windows to it seems like a very natural way to match the organization of my windows in my mind.
