Really the only reason I stopped using minimal window managers like i3 and wmaker was just to make use of all this extra ram i find myself having these days.

It used to be neat seeing how much stuff i could squeeze into less than a gig of ram, but I think after the 1GB mark all the extra memory has somewhat diminishing returns.

I’m not even really that big on themes i just want “dark” and the issue was causing it to be “light” or “dark with icons you can’t see”, and somehow replaced the KDE logo in the menu with the Gnome Foot which honestly made me think it was some kind of elaborate prank.

I reinstalled the OS on my laptop the other day, mainly because an update to qt6 kept breaking themes completely no matter what i did and reinstalling was easier than figuring out the themeing issue.

There where other minor issues too, like it asking me to input my encrpytion passphrase twice on every boot, but the last straw was the themes.

Sometimes it’s just easier to start over instead of figuring out why things are broken.

One very real first world problem i struggle with is always thinking of one more project to tackle before i go back to playing video games.

I have to do some things involving a debian server (re)install, but I also want to play the game i bought last week, and these 2 things are equal amounts of “entertaining” in my mind. I also am constantly second guessing if i should re-organize my files, the answer to that is always “yes, but how”

I suppose maybe im the only person who still prefers good ole #MidnightCommander to other file managers but TIL mc has absolutely terrible handling extracting 7z files which has been my prefered backup format for the past could of years.

Something to do with extfs and the extraction command needing to run on each file rather then the archive as a whole.. I dont really understand it but the end result is that archives with lots of small files like .log or .jpgs will just slow to a crawl.

So i guess I’m going to switch back to Tarballs. My reason for using 7z originally was based on how it worked from command line. Its not like I can’t just manually extract the files, but if I’m using MC then i kind of expect a certain type of behavior.

Ah well

HedgeDoc is now up at hd.ugh.im.

PrivateBin is now up and can be accessed on either privbin.gravitywell.xyz or pb.ugh.im. This is running on an alternate server at the moment but it will be moved to the main one.

LibRed is setup, it seems to need frequent restarting and updating though.

I’m planning to put together some basic screencasts as I deploy various services. I’ll probably work on something with a general overview of gravitywell and how things are setup first.

OpenSpeedTest has been running for a while but I realized I didn’t have links up for it.

I tried to get Invidious working but it wasn’t playing videos so i took it down until i feel like messing with it again.

Piped is now setup on both GravityWell and Ugh.im

A quick shout out to Libredirect which I plan to impliment as many services for as i can.

#SelfHosting

Oops, forgot to change the download destination on Tidal-DL and ended up filling up the root partition over night,

I did it! I finally have my own matrix server with bridges to all the other bullshit i dont want to use but everyone else does for some reason.

Party like it’s #IRC in the 00s!!!

Setting up a personal matrix server today, don’t have the resources to make a public one at the moment but we’ll get there.

@libreleah I give XLibre a year before the whole thing loses steam. Sure there are other merits to it as a fork, but first and foremost it has become known as the “Anti-DEI” fork, the kind of devs that’s going to attract are not the ones who make useful contributions, they’re the ones who got kicked out of other projects for being assholes.

Setup a more basic style, I’ve added different color scheme options. Added some new frontends for jellyfin. Funkwhale is now 2.0-alpha and mstream and NaviDrome are also available with the same library. GravityWell.xyz

It’s nice to hear from a real cypherpunk on the subject.

It only just recently occurred to me that i can get certificates for both gravitywell.xyz and ugh.im in one go and have the domains resolve to the same services. So I’ll probably start giving everything both a “short” ugh.im and a long “gravitywell.xyz” subdomain for services that it might be useful on.

Stay Safe everyone.

PeerTube Link

Modern CPUs are just amazing… or maybe i don’t have very high standards, but I was playing Doom The Dark Ages and wondering why i suddenly was getting only 30-45FPS instead of the usaul 60, turns out I forget to turn off video transcoding from tdarr, my system was encoding AV1 video (with the CPU) while also encoding H264 (with the GPU) to my peertube stream. I was playing for about 30 mins before i even noticed.

I hope no one infers the wrong thing from the added Luigi in the corner… I wouldnt want to violate any “community guidelines”… Oh wait its MY FUCKING WEBSITE.

The new Matlock with Kathy Bates is great! You can watch it on GravityFin

Seems the issue causing everything to hang was NFS, which sadly means i have to fall back to using Samba for now. On the positive side, the wireguard mesh network seems to be working as expected.
