pablo1··on FyneDesk: A full desktop environment for Linux written in Go
Wayland is a must for me at this point. If it starts supporting it I will give it a serious try
pablo1··on ICQ will stop working from June 26
I wish they would just open source it, now that it's going to be stopped. Would love to self-host it a bit, just for nostagia
pablo1··on How and why to make a /now page on your site
I've been thinking about something like this for a while, wondering if it could be a decentralized alternative to social media timelines. I really like the idea of having a /now page with a short public status that you could share with friends and which can be less work to update than writing an entire blog post.

That being said, the "standard" you defined could have been bit more specific in my opinion. If I have multiple friends with /now pages, I would like to read them all in one place. For this RSS would work nicely, maybe with a separate feed from your blog. If you don't want RSS, maybe making the /now page a uniform text-based format would have been better?

Just an opinion on this.

pablo1··on Moodle: Open-Source LMS
We have Moodle in your university and the reading material is provided in it. It is terrible to read, because the lines of text span the full width of the screen and the formatting is broken in a lot of cases.

Before Moodle we used to get nicely formatted PDF's (made with Latex I pressume). This might sound like a nitpick, but if you are spending hours reading the material over and over it is a pretty serious drawback. I don't undesrtand how moodle does not have a decent reader mode builtin. Also, I have always been the learning type that prints out the PDF and the draws, underlines, writes in it while reading it. Dunno, reading on screen just doesnt work for me that well.

pablo1··on Taskfile: A Modern Alternative to Makefile
Taskfile is great! I used it to write a NixOS deployment tool [1] which I have been using ever since

pablo1··on PhotoPrism: AI-powered photos app for the decentralized web
Does immich support S3 storage and multiple users? These are the two features I miss in most of theses projects, don’t really care about the AI stuff
pablo1··on A Syntax for Self-Tracking (2020)
Is the complete log a single file? I would be interested in seeing an excerpt of the data as an example
pablo1··on Show HN: Tiny – A 2D Game Engine in Kotlin Working with Lua
Which one would you prefer? Any favourites? Looking to create simple games/animations that I can embed into a web page without too much hassle.
pablo1··on WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator written in Rust
I agree with you, but stuck with wezterm for some time now for it's non-GPU related features. Specifically the font configuration with fallbacks and configurable font features such as ligatures and glyph variations is nice. I use a tiling window manager and a terminal multiplexer, so I have no use for terminal tabs/splits/panes. I wish there was something as "simple" as alacritty, but with nicer font rendering.
pablo1··on HTTPS Reverse Proxy: Caddy Outperforms Nginx 4x
Have always used nginx, but I'm interested in the newer alternatives out there like caddy, traefik or envoy.

Is there a up-to-date comparison somewhere? Any personal experiences? Would be interested to hear if there are any reasons to switch. Performance has not been an issue for me, but there might be other good reasons.

pablo1··on Show HN: Minimal, no-JS web forum software
Is it still being maintained? Do you accept PR's? I tried to register on the forum to ask, but my user has not been activated.
pablo1··on Monodraw – a non-subscription, powerful ASCII art editor
I'd pay the 10$ instantly if it get's linux support. Is there something similar that works on linux? Asciiflow is quite limited
pablo1··on Fizzygum
Not a good first impression if the homepage of a web framework does not have https in 2021
pablo1··on Pinecil: Portable USB-C RISC-V soldering iron
How does it compare to the TS100?
pablo1··on Pine64 Smarphone Spare Parts
Does anyone have first-hand experience with the pinephone as daily driver? I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm worried I wont be able to do my usual stuff, including using things like Signal or WhatsApp.

Would be very interesting to hear some practital experiences!

pablo1··on Pijul: A intuitive VCS unlike Git that's based on sound theory of patches
I can't find much talks or examples of it, any good recourses besides the official page?
pablo1··on Show HN: A raycaster that renders to random dot stereogram (like Magic Eye)
Don't know much about stereograms, two general questions:

a) Is it possilbe to render color images this way? b) Is it possible to have the random dots not change all the time? E.g. When I don't move in this example, I dont see the need to draw new random dots. Also when moving sideways e.g. would it be possible to keep the dots where they are, relative to the world?

pablo1··on Ask HN: What do you think about the Secalot hardware token?
Any planned realease date? I'm considering waiting for the release of it.
pablo1··on Ask HN: What do you think about the Secalot hardware token?
Interesting. That is a definitive plus for Nitrokey indeed. I wonder if they plan on creating a version that supports PGP and U2F.

I really like the Nitrokey pro version, it is pretty much everything I need except for the U2F.

pablo1··on Show HN: Vector Logo Zone – SVG logos for your readme or credits page
Please add the vim logo!

Also maybe neovim whilew you're at it.

pablo1··on How I changed the law with a GitHub pull request
I always reach that website when I randomly hit my keyboard in the browser's address bar to see if my internet connection is working.

Seems to be a great domain.

pablo1··on TKE: Modern Tcl/Tk-based text editor
What about the "Native Vim Support" listed on the homepage? I can't find any more info on that. Has anyone tried it?
