Every time I’ve done it, it’s pretty bad. Ocr is much better.

Meh there’s a ton of other services like opentofu, podman, vms, ect…

This is how you get a new darknet.

Is there a better spot for technical blogs? I figure that [email protected] is probably fine, but I am not sure where else to put technical posts like this one. I figure the votes will have it either way.

Technology sometimes feels closer to Technology news (which was how reddit acted like it was).

Sounds like a number pulled out the butt. It will be closer to all of them going by GitHub projects spun up on the timeline, never to be completed.

Lol I already do! At least in F.

Yep the boom bust continues.

I typically upvote anything I want to see more of. I down vote posts that I really don’t want to see or really wrong info. And no vote if I’m not sure of something or don’t care. Most of the time it’s no vote.

In smaller communities it helps a tiny bit as an votes are what people see.

blink and center dont work on most modern sites. iframes in particular break now. Give it another 10 years. Hell React will break if you dont keep up with the updates every 6ish months. Or so it feels.

We can have both. Sites that marvel and little txt sites.

[email protected]

Where are you seeing that? I only see email address.

Dunno. Give it a shot and see how it goes!

Personally I would just set nginx + translator that would push the site into different formats if I wanted it long term. Just dump the resultant files, set up a website.cool/xxx.txt and push it out there.

Plus markdown is kinda loosy goosy when it comes to the “standard”. Sites like Github and wikipedia have slightly different specs. And each site has a different scheme to hook into it.

Its much easier to set up static site generators or hook into something that can translate. But maybe that will change.

I personally would like other languages in the browser. Native python the browser would be nice for example.

You may have more luck with neocities and their sites. Lots of webrings around there and a lot of people having fun.

Frames still break on some sites. center is still being joked about. Once in a while you still see plaintext on some very old sites.

And as a dev of over 20 years, I can say for a fact that deprecations will occur. And its all code cruft for modern browsers to navigate. Its easier to let them die. And in 10+ years the txt docs will still work. Mostly. Maybe. :D Unicode emojis make it even more confusing to the conversion.

If they are useful, people will still use them. We can have both. Modern Browsers that are closer to full scale OSes AND tiny little txt sites that give users info on the given topic.

That would be nice.

I think because in 10 or so years, there might be a new standard that breaks the site again. Or makes it unusable.

TXT walkthroughs are still used for a reason. Its much harder to break txt files over decades.

All that is assuming someone still wants to read your txt but that is besides the point.

Same US. EU gets the best stuff.

That sounds infuriating.

Its so bad. To do the same stuff you did 10 years ago, you need a computer with 4x the specs for Windows 11 + AI chip and everything is a subscription. meanwhile Ive upgraded my linux laptop once and it runs about 10x with the newest of software updates, steam, etc…etc… Libreoffice is much easier to use than MS products now.

The worst part is you cant opt out of windows AI. It sends your data along no matter what.
