jalict··on Roblox downloaded 145GB models from us (including adult content) without asking
Would you also say that general licensing is irrelevant for everyone?

This is quite simple put in the article.

> The crawler did not respect our robots.txt, (which it did retrieve), ignored our Terms of Service, (which forbid scraping), and defied the creators' licenses: 423 of the 712 projects are licensed for non-commercial use only.

jalict··on Partyline: A group voice application for Reticulum, built on LXST
Little more context:

Reticulum is a alternative network stack to IP-based networking. It flips quite a bit in terms of topology, enough that most known networking tech has to be re-thought.

LXST is a format and protocol made for real-streaming across Reticiulum networks. It is made by the person who also created Reticulum.

neocities exploded 2-3 years ago and #smallweb is super active

loads of webrings also started -- 90s internet is back, just look for it <3

jalict··on Reticulum, a secure and anonymous mesh networking stack
Just found this post; and I see Liam Cottle _just_ did a talk at FOSDEM26 about the situation and the future:

jalict··on Your app subscription is now my weekend project
This reminds me so much of Maggie Appleton blog post on "Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers" [1]

We have so many people who are so excellent and fast and developing nowadays that we can even afford the time to build things for our community, friends and even just for ourselves.

It has probably always been like this, but I am just personally observing a higher-degree of people doing and talking about it. Even just the small-web/neocities bobble points into this.

Original article has bit more data and graphs https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/teslas...
jalict··on Finland Bans Smartphones in Schools
> Is it possible to fight Internet addiction...

Yes!

> ...without banning stuff?

What incentive do companies have to do this? It seems quite profitable for them?

I am quite strict here with my comment; but honestly, I can't see much reason other than making new products that are made as an "anti" movement, but companies will just find new ways to get people hooked -- because it is profitable for them to do so.

jalict··on Like cursor, but for blogging: a weekend project
Do it for the destination, not the journey
jalict··on Supervisors often prefer rule breakers, up to a point
Love the irony of this post.
jalict··on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft
Switched from Gitlab to Forgejo at work and it is working fantastic for us. I am also using at home.

Using both container registry and self-hosted runners, etc.

I was personally very frustrated with ACL and generally inheritance rules in gitlab and it is much more sensible and easy in Forgejo.

jalict··on IBM's CEO doesn't think AI will replace programmers anytime soon
This happens regardless as people leaving companies and whatever they produced. You will find so many examples of code out there in production and works through hopes and dreams.

And you know what? If it works it works - regardless how it was produced.

jalict··on Motion sickness accessibility in video games
Been gaming since forever and in the last 5 years I started getting nausated 70% of games I have played (also old once that were fine) and generally this is also what is working for me -- just a little bit here and there it gets a lot better.

I understand the article talks against this, but I am grateful that I am able to do this, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.

jalict··on "Sneaky" forced update for Google Pixel 4a
This post is filled with important details, it is crazy.
jalict··on Into CPS, Never to Return
Scripted Pipelines in Jenkins are also using CPS in Groovy! https://plugins.jenkins.io/workflow-cps/#plugin-content-tech...
jalict··on Swimmable Cities
Arguably a lot of people consider it too cold most of the year. But otherwise I would say that when the weather is good the water is filled quite up with people at a comfortable level!
jalict··on Exploiting CI / CD Pipelines for fun and profit
index.html and rest of project is rooted in well.. root. And simple push deploy your root git repo to your /var/www or whatever.

Ex. you use github pages and do homemade brew html or whatever that is not static-generator that outputs to a subfolder.

jalict··on Dawarich: Self-hosted alternative to Google Location History
I really liked Google Timeline, but started going away from it (in my de-google phase right now), it was nice to go back to when I had been biking a specific place in town, but couldn't remember exactly where.

And I have also been doing some PolarSteps for quite a while, but wanted to start making my own travel books now.

This seems like a perfect tool for both of this!

(iOS user, so seems like the space a little more limited)

jalict··on Ask HN: How do I balance all my 200 interests in life?
I agree with the sentiment that you should simply reduce and focus. With that in mind, I would also encourage you to write down things related to the interests that you don't give any focus to — inevitably, they will come up. Random ideas, articles, people talking about it, etc. And I think they needs to be processed to get them out of your system.

Personally, I enjoy at least writing down the ideas, passions, or motivations I have towards them somewhere and collecting them. Then, if the time comes when I choose that interest or topic, I already have a good bunch of well-marinated ideas. Of course, that can also overwhelm me, but then you just go to step 1 again!

jalict··on How and why to make a /now page on your site
Great examples, thanks for sharing all of them! Love Chris’ real life commits messages. Find them very nice just to get general overview of what was going on in your life at the time.
jalict··on Roll-Invert-Unroll: An easier way to replace a duvet cover
Luckily should be pretty easy to modify to get the same result!
jalict··on Low-tech Magazine underscores the potential of past technologies
More like adjacent keywords & topics: https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/permacomputing.html

There are loads of activity on perma- and frugal computing on https://merveilles.town/

#indieweb movement also has a lot of roots in similar ideologies with people going into lowtech -- so I would also check that out, but that is a pretty massive hole to dig into already :-)

jalict··on Show HN: Nekoweb – a retro static web hosting
Tangible related, but are you hosting your website on both Neocities and Nekoweb or just one of them? Because I see your profile both places.

Check out this one that I discovered the other day! https://www.dialup.cafe/~vga256/
jalict··on Show HN: I made a tool to compare time zones
I meant pr. timezone toggle! The current one is global if I am not mistaken?

So I could have my own local time in military time and the one(s) I am converting to, in AM/PM.

jalict··on Show HN: I made a tool to compare time zones
Would love to see pr. timezone AM/PM and Military time toggle. I personally not figured out how to mentally convert from one to another and usually this is one of my challenges as well.

I support the link sharing as well. Perfect for events, meetings and the like.

So good, very easy to use and not to much other stuff going on. Great job and super domainname.

jalict··on Is the Intel N100 a better option than high-end ARM RK3588 boards at the moment?
What is holding me back from getting N100 for Media Playback is mainly that there is only support for 2x SATA ports.

Of course you can just get some PCI board to help you with more disks, but I was hoping to remove that in terms of space.

jalict··on FreeTube – The Private YouTube Client
If it is sponsored Ads, then I presumre that parented comments thinks the price is not good enough to actually provide, as it does not provide enough money for creators to not have sponsored ads as well.
jalict··on Show HN: Building a 42-inch E-Ink frame for generative art
Usually something like volumetric data, animations, or other forms of data packed into something the GPU can swallow. I am not sure why you would apply the filters to those kinds.
