    i think it&#39;s really, really bad that the most viable way for most websites to defend against attacks nowadays is to have a single company that hosts/defends/funds harassment groups/fascists and provides services to booters who do these kinds of attacks for payment act as a middleman to your server

    dear distro package maintainers: when packaging libvips, please ensure that you are marking cgif as a dependency and not giflib libvips doesn&#39;t use giflib! it uses cgif and a vendored libnsgif for handling the format!! you are shipping a package with broken gif encoding support!!!!

    shot in the dark i guess has anyone else had issues using an original htc vive with displayport on an nvidia gtx 10 series card? neither windows nor linux seem to detect it when i connect it to the mini displayport on the link box, and steamvr shows a 208 error

    giving the gram code editor a try, i&#39;d used zed (which it&#39;s forked from) a bit before (mostly with my fds stuff) but something has kinda clicked with me when using gram that didn&#39;t really click when using zed

    i&#39;m a bit curious whether or not anyone has experimented with using a custom index with searxng, since it has support for querying various &quot;offline&quot; providers (e.g. postgresql, elasticsearch, valkey, cli scripts) alongside remote search engines

    figured i should bring this up i have a vintage (published in 1980) TRS-80 BASIC booklet targeted towards educators in my possession; unfortunately it&#39;s not in the best shape however, with discoloring, some coffee stains, and pen markings inside despite this, however, i&#39;ve scanned it to PDF in the best quality i could manage; if anyone could help give suggestions regarding how i could clean it up/split the pages for upload to somewhere like archive.org that would be greatly appreciated

    modern atari st chiptunes have a very distinct sound since they figured out they could just throw a ton of cpu power at the ym2149 to make it do things it wasn&#39;t designed to do and i think it&#39;s very interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqeM39RlRKM

    i doubt it; the vertical writes could be caused by something setting that bit on $2000, but the actual code for that part looks correct (it works fine when using an fdskey on the same system) i feel like this isn&#39;t being caused by any of my code, but rather garbage data from the disk

    Hey there. I really don&#39;t like doing this, but things are getting rough financially and I could really use some help to keep things running. https://ko-fi.com/TheEssem https://patreon.com/TheEssem Right now, server costs for esmBot, wetdry.world, and some other assorted things are around $120/month, but this has been growing steadily each month as heavier traffic limits have been put in place and the value of the US dollar has been slowly declining (my provider will only accept euro).
