I've always been a software guy, but man does building and doing something more physical sound fun. And the community around it all. I plan to get started (at some point) with a homeserver. Networking always felt more high stakes with security and privacy than the application side. Indie web has been calling my name though.

After finally getting into some embedded/iot tech, privacy, and tbh my own socialist awakening, I've been really interested in this kind of stuff.

Is it mostly about awareness or is there something more substantial to the practice and research? It's such an odd concept to me I haven't sussed out the details further than the hacker-y, just for fun, "because I can" projects. I'd love to use some tech skills for real purpose.

Maybe it is and the chair didn't used to be so close

My brain is so cooked it went straight to this

People would pay money for ricing like that!

In all seriousness, RIP O7

PS. I'm terrified of my laptop's display dying cause it's high refresh and I CANNOT go back to 60hz

Ever heard the phrase "gotta keep my Calvins from Kleining"? Yep.

Analogue synthesis is really something special. It took the cultural spirit of music, replaced it with curiosity so deep that it became culture again, and revolutionized the world in basically every way.

Maybe A/V nerds in the 50s felt different about it since it was just the industry and recording tech at the time, but we got rock 'n roll out of it and have FL Studio now because of them.

Either way bravo! My initial reaction was "heh, but really that happened at inaugur- WAIT"

Dataisbeautiful might call it lowbrow, but I think it's satisfying. We need a dataismemeful.

Was gonna say I think they meant marking the point in time, but did you line that up perfectly?

[–] degen@midwest.social 1 points 4 months ago

True, that might be more in scope for a client. I do like the idea of a system baked into the protocol that "just works", but I also know nothing about activitypub lol

Sounds like Screeps or Hackmud! But I think the heavier RPG focus might make it easier to get into. I keep falling flat on games like these, especially with the idea of a few veterans who are automation or async wizards. Definitely gonna look into it more.

Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.
