In-reply-to » Anyone got a link to a robots.txt that ā€œblocksā€ all the ā€œAIā€ stuff?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have this one as per some article I read some time agoā€¦ But just like the robots.txt I donā€™t think you have any grantee that it would be honored, you might even have a better chance hunting for and blocking user-agents.

In-reply-to » What's all of this about? one may ask...

ā€¦ So itā€™s gonna be either a:

  • Find a way to do a Chroot install a la Chad Arch Linux way, on a portion of the disk space while Iā€™m Ssh-ing in and then whip out the old debian installation if all goes well.
  • or a YOLO automated/unattended install.

Either way, Iā€™m ready to deal with the eff up! Because Iā€™ve never done none of that beforeā€¦ šŸ˜‚

In-reply-to » I've ripped off it's GPU about a year ago to rescue another computer ... Now I'm stuck with only SSH to play with it. Since it came with just a VGA port for display and my monitor takes all but THAT!

Whatā€™s all of this about? one may askā€¦

Well Iā€™ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSDā€¦ It doesnā€™t matter. I just want to ā€œMake it feelā€¦ Make it feel alive AGAIN!ā€

In-reply-to » I'm starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It's nice.

@mckinley@mckinley.cc Iā€™ve just given it a try and built a signal desktop AppImage from source, since they only distribute deb packagesā€¦ Iā€™m actually quite impressed! šŸ‘āœØ

In-reply-to » Thinking about disabling the two extra buttons for ā€œforwardā€ and ā€œbackwardā€ on my mouse, because todayā€™s websites donā€™t support this anymore, and itā€™d safe me the constant moments of ā€œoh for fuckā€™s sakeā€. šŸ™„

@movq@www.uninformativ.de imagine remapping them to reboot and shutdown instead. That would be fun, wouldnā€™t it? šŸ˜‚

In-reply-to » @aelaraji I think you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? šŸ“§ Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn't equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?

@prologic Oh! sorry about that! Iā€™m ok with signal.

In-reply-to » What's that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What's that thing called? There's a term for it hmmm šŸ§

@prologic

  1. The ā€œStory of my lifeā€ (the less serious answer)
  2. Being ā€œThe Black Sheepā€ from the old tale ? (the serious answer)

In-reply-to » I suspect that people who came to Gemini from Gopher are more satisfied with the protocol than people who came to Gemini from HTTP.

@Rob@jsreed5.org Coming from HTTP and discovered both at the same time, my preference might be biased towards Gemini because of the content syntax but I love both equally.
