resolved an overheating issue on the #thinkpad that kept the fan running constantly. how? i simply lowered the room temperature by a few degrees. not too cold for me and not too hot for the laptop ❤️

the fan still kicks in under the load, but at least when cpu frequency is low, the fan is off

quickly tested #wayland with #sway on #openbsd:

browsers are 2-3% faster than in #xenocara

trackpad and trackpoint are not working as expected

whole setup a bit more complicated (starting from tty0, installing extra packages, extra line in fstab, etc)

for this week at least i'm switching back to good old #x11 and #cwm :)

it feels like apple's system 7 was the last interface i genuinely loved visually---clean, intentional, and clearly handcrafted.

that's probably why i'm so drawn to things like #picotron and #uvn

tried to run bunnymark on #uxn in a browser on apple m1. it's running at 26-30 fps till it freezes at around 8000 bunnies. hitting memory limit?

uxn feels like a solid platform,..

...but is it technically possible to port vi to uxn? :)

another #css trick, if you want to visually shorten long links, but only when they are longer than its container width (at max-width)

a {
  display: inline-block;
  max-width: 100%;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

extracted some #css and #svg magic from e11e's homepage to add photocopy effect to your pages

<style>body{filter:url(#x)}#x{display:none}</style>

moved ssg repo to got.romanzolotarev.com

powered by @gothub@exquisite.social

gothub feels so right:

sign up via ssh bot
configure your server by pushing to gotsys repository (brilliant idea!)
and you can serve your static sites with custom domain names

thanks to @stsp@bsd.network for the onboarding ❤️

reading https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/ (by @e11e@mastodon.social) slowly, one post at a time

it captures exactly how i feel about the state of the internet and it's heartening to see someone building good old homepages with such care and love ❤️

how do you rotate keys for a user on a #snac2 instance?

i understand you need to generate a new keypair and then sign your new public key with old one and propagate to the network... how do you practically do that?
