Wrong.<br/>When you visit the said page, it fully loads, but then a huge banner appears that asks you to scan the QR with your phone.<br/>You scan the QR and... it just opens the same page in your web browser ON THE PHONE. So you can&#39;t use the web page on desktop, only on the phone.<br/>Of course I did the only logical thing. I just toggled Developer Tools in my desktop browser, changed the resolution to some phone resolution, opened the page, and IT WORKS.<br/>People get paid for these ideas. 2025-08-07T16:44:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2dj8dc2ma7huk50l70tzleyzcerxux56pwm04umlp3htfr0f46mszyzkae5aax5e0f5reyqdqgkrqe4eugnfxafdd0yngcl2n97zk78epjtca9g7 Is #NecroComputing a thing?

Preferably Doom. Well, I tried this in the past, but it didn&#39;t stick. It&#39;&#39;s everything and the kitchen sink, but you generally don&#39;t know if you really need all this. So you study Doom, not Emacs. I might get back to it in the future. I did prefer Spacemacs, though (aesthetically).<br/>2) Use vanilla and spend ten years building your own config. This sounds fairly reasonable, because you naturally learn the program itself, not its plugins. But it&#39;s a huge timesink when you start to &#34;build your own Emacs&#34;. So you&#39;d end up with DoomEmacs, but badly written, slow and constantly breaking on every update.<br/>I went with the second alternative and here&#39;s what I got for my personal usecase:<br/><br/>me@desktop:~$ grep &#34;use-package&#34; .emacs.d/init.el | wc -l<br/>8<br/><br/>Eight packages. howm, inkpot-theme, which-key, avy, counsel, general, annotate, markdown-mode. I didn&#39;t even bother to make annotate work for now, so it&#39;s 7. And I don&#39;t really use avy, so it could be 6.<br/>That&#39;s all I need for now. For several months I haven&#39;t had a moment yet when I thought that I need something else or that my workflow is getting somewhat cumbersome.<br/>Of course, this doesn&#39;t mean that my setup is perfect. But my point is: configuring your own Emacs could be way easier than you might think (depending on the workflow), and you probably don&#39;t need to fight a bazillion packages waging civil war in your config file. 2025-04-23T06:59:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsquptchtxz3ujcws6llyec0t3h0tr03snk3ejqcj747hy2ytt7dcqzyzkae5aax5e0f5reyqdqgkrqe4eugnfxafdd0yngcl2n97zk78epj5j34zj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyzqgdugel2qrhachhgt7rn4j5tqwz7cxv08u75nkd7rsagf0lg2cevetk6'>nevent1q…etk6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Knowing ffmpeg and ImageMagick is the closest you can get to knowing black magic. 2025-04-12T06:49:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstndaa6rm59v63h0m0hlhpauapsu3peay870tqwwqfmae8u5ljlwqzyzkae5aax5e0f5reyqdqgkrqe4eugnfxafdd0yngcl2n97zk78epj7a77w2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfqd0v2tphc923j7276lqr7cgpm66j7w0nxtyx5ypuwmf58q9jccqrl3yrs'>nevent1q…3yrs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I can&#39;t believe the old adage is true: It&#39;s always DNS.<br/>Looks like you&#39;re right.

Its hostname is &#34;server&#34;. When I boot into openSUSE again, my hostname in openSUSE becomes &#34;server&#34;.<br/>When I reboot openSUSE again, it changes hostname back to normal.<br/>When I boot LMDE installation flash drive and later reboot to openSUSE, it changes hostname to &#34;mint&#34;.

Although, it&#39;s not entirely fair, of course, because Dillo doesn&#39;t fully support even HTML 4.01 and supports only elements of HTML 5.0. But Web is broken nonetheless, no doubt about that.<br/><br/>I&#39;m glad that my static site in Dillo looks... well, relatively authentic. It&#39;s usable.<br/><br/>Dillo brings me back that taste of 00&#39;s WWW. When Internet was a free (not as in a free beer) and open space. When sites looked strange and it was fine.
