25-12-13 - trying out scheme again ------------------------- 1. i checked out the Akku package manager and it was pretty alright :3 2. i usually write in guile, but i was looking at loko scheme cause it seemed interesting (although the AI-generated logo is extremely off-putting). 3. i noticed that the r7rs-small document is available in .info (and epub, html) format 4. i looked at SRFI-106 "basic socket interface" because i was interested in working with sockets in case i wanted to develop a mercury server. 1. https://akkuscm.org/ 2. https://scheme.fail/ 3. https://codeberg.org/Zipheir/r7rs-small-texinfo 4. https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-106/srfi-106.html 25-12-09 - writing about email i just made a post about email configuration on unix systems :3 it's just a collection of notes to self, but maybe it'll be useful uwu gopher://inlisp.org/1/users/wapakosis/posts/how-i-email.txt 25-12-06 - stuff i might want to remember ------------------ the xerox alto (developed at xerox parc, & released 1973) is one of the first workstations to include a gui. in exchange for stock options in apple, xerox demonstrated their technology to apple engineers, which apple later used to create the lisa and macintosh systems. ------- in 2021, enrico weigel posted on the linux kernel discussion list that covid vaccinations are a "human experiment that basically creates a new humanoid race", to which linus torvalds (rightfully) told him to stfu enrico later went on to create a "DEI-free" fork of the x.org server (xlibre). 25-12-04 - quit idling your car! --------------------------- a lot of people have been idling their vehicles lately. the air smells really bad about it. i wish this wouldn't happen so often. 5 seconds of idling takes more feul than turning your car off and on again. you waste a lot of resources by idling your car for minutes at a time. 25-12-04 - playing with usenet ----------------------------- sometimes i return to nntp clients. i rarely post but i like to lurk :3 i might make an account on eternal-september.org and browse text-only newsgroups from there, but mostly i'm on 'news.tilde.club' i don't know how to access sdf's nntp server yet? tin gives me a 'connection refused' message. 25-12-03 - Medley Interlisp -------------------------------- i've been playing around a little bit with the medley interlisp project, a system originally for 80's computers like the Xerox 1186 and other lisp machines, but recently ported to linux and other operating systems. 25-12-02 - tanisi ------------------------------------------ hai, i'm wapakosis ('mouse' in nehiyawewin) i'm from amiskwaciy waskahikan ('edmonton, ab') i care about nature. i'm not a big fan of gas and oil. my computers usually look like this: - i3wm - window manager - i3blocks - status bar - rofi - application launcher - sakura - terminal emulator - emacs - lisp machine - nano - text editor - scrot - screenshotting tool - profanity - xmpp client - tmux - multiplexor - newsboat - feed reader unless i'm running wayland in which case: - sway - window manager - fuzzel - application launcher - grimshot - screenshotting tool
