luke2m··on Raspberry Pi IRC Server: Setup Your Own Chat Network
Most setup x on raspberry pi guides really mean setup x on debian.
luke2m··on I Miss the Old Internet (2019)
I’m 14, and internet wise, I wish it was the 90s. I coded my website, blog occasionally, and get noticed once in a great while. I chat on open platforms, and like decentralization and freedom from corporations.
luke2m··on Isfreenodedeadyet – Tracking Freenode to Libera.Chat Migration
That’s a good point. Honestly, if I had a popular open source project right now, I would have matrix bridged to discord and maybe irc if people asked for it.
luke2m··on Isfreenodedeadyet – Tracking Freenode to Libera.Chat Migration
The difference is that

luke2m··on The six-year-old iPhone 6S will get iOS 15, and that rules
I use a 6S plus, and am glad to see Apple caring about older devices. I guess there hasn’t been any huge changes in phone hardware since then [0]. I also wonder how iOS 15 will affect jailbreaking.

When this happens to cloudflare, it will be even more impactful.

>It basically feels like real Vim. Use real Vim if you want it? It requires a subscription of $0.00 a month!
luke2m··on The top-ranking HTML editor on Google is an SEO scam
I would rather not have a required sign in to a search engine, but looks interesting.
luke2m··on The top-ranking HTML editor on Google is an SEO scam
I don’t like google and don’t really want to defend it, but this is more of a lots of crappy websites problem than a google problem.

Seems like something to take people’s attention off their other walled gardens.

luke2m··on “Tank Man”
DDG sources from bing, so if bing removes something, DDG won’t get it either.
luke2m··on “Tank Man”
https://startpage.com/ uses google’s results rather than Bing.
luke2m··on “Tank Man”
No, Bing is.

luke2m··on Ask HN: Do you still use email?
Yes.
luke2m··on Ask HN: Do you still use email?
Matrix is interesting, but could replace IRC or Discord, not email. It also doesn’t have many users, even with bridging, but pretty much everyone has an email account.
