“personal” and “trustless” seem sort of at odds here. you want personal data, so you want personal storage.

what I recommend, if you have the time and energy, is to find another self-hoster you trust and be “backup buddies” with them. set up remote file storage on both your networks and send your backups to the other person’s server.

if you can’t find another self-hoster, then find a friend or family member you trust and mail them your backups on a physical disk.

sound warning please!

all of my fursonae are me but with more confidence and bigger boobs.

11ty is my favorite! cross-platform, good defaults, built-in tag support, and just generally good learning curve.

that little right-angle in the corner is an alignment mark for the cutter and I didn’t want to get too close to it.

it’s pretty good for this specific purpose. it has an open source inkscape plugin written in python for it, so I don’t need to use proprietary software. however, it also needs printed alignment marks, and it can only read them off a white or red background; I’ve tried printing on green paper and it was not happy with it. I can work around it by gluing a black and white alignment border around the page, but that cuts down on the usable area slightly.

overall, good for the $50 I paid for it lol

mu!

pona a!

excellent point! at the time I was thinking about fixed-width binary specifically and trying to think of interesting uses for it, but that’s a good point.

My favorite static site generator by far is Eleventy, which you can learn by reading their sample code at eleventy-base-blog. It uses NodeJS which runs on all major platforms, and it generates plain old HTML that you can put on any static host. I played with several of the generators on the Jamstack list, and decided that this is the one I’m most comfortable recommending. It has a very high power-to-effort ratio, you can do some really useful stuff with very little knowledge. I’m using it on my personal site, https://nycki.net/, to automatically generate a “navbar” on every page, plus an RSS feed for my blog. It’s also nice for generating “prev/next” links under articles.

indie target audience should read “a second, equally beautiful transgender”

otherwise this is good

“office supplies company trying to diversify portfolio” describes some real gems of video games

i would tentatively place Super Beat Sports in there, its on Switch now but it was written as a rhythm game for Apple TV

I think the biggest culture shock for a lot of people is “fewer surprises, more options.” On my machine at least, updates don’t run automatically – I might get a notification that “updates are available” but that’s it, I still have to say “okay, now is a good time to update”, it won’t surprise me with them.

Similarly, if I want to set a hotkey for like “take a screenshot of the current application”, I can do that! But the downside is that it might not be set up by default, I have to go to settings -> hotkeys or something similar.

Linux “gets out of your way” and lets you solve problems, but that also means it’s not always going to solve them for you. It’s getting better at this over time – if lots of people have the same problem, the solution might get merged “upstream”, but a lot of things are still “well, how do YOU want it to work?”.

is this available in text form?

woah!!! i’ve always wanted long-range joycons but i couldn’t find any; can you send me a guide on that antenna upgrade?

not yet, but thank you for the link!

edit: will this run on linux?

normally I use the Home or Plus button for that, but I do have Retroarch set up so that I can pause by clicking both sticks at once, so you could say that’s a “paws button” :3

I was really tempted to do the same, but for the price i’d rather have a Steam Deck. Way more power for that price, and it comes pre-hacked.

• I haven’t modified the behavior of the controllers at all; that much is just decorative. Same for the dock. You can use this as a “normal” switch and everything works :)

  • edit: you can also use some third-party laptop docks! but not all of them. I think the switch is using some non-standard protocol. Some docks advertise themselves as “switch compatible”. However, when you are using a homebrew os (linux or android), then it will work with any dock.

• I have a steam deck as well, and I use both. A modded switch (or any switch, tbh) has very limited system specs. x86 emulation is possible, but only for games that don’t use much cpu or ram. Steam and Proton are basically unusable. This is for emulation and low-spec indie games.

• The trailhead begins at https://switch.hacks.guide/. I recommend a 512 GB microsd, with 128 GB set aside for ubuntu and 64 GB for android. Happy hacking :)

I haven’t tried the bedrock port yet, i’ve actually been getting into Luanti/Minetest since it has much lower system requirements than either version of Minecraft.

edit: i should note that, yes, you can run Java Minecraft on this, and you can also run mods (just watch your ram usage, the switch only has 4GB)!
