@noiob thinking about how action button needed to split their cyberpunk 2077 review because it went over the 10 hour limit

step 1: start earthbound
step 2: realize you don't hang out with enough people who use he/him pronouns to name the characters after

(yes, this is pretty much the first time i've seen any indication that someone paid attention to a thing i did on there, why do you ask? hee)

i got a comment on my blog recently, and gossssh, even though it's just one, it's super-validating to have made enough of an impression that someone would take the time to write something in response to words that i put out there

...and not have it be on social media

re: exhaustion/burnout 

@karma oof, burnout sucks

i hope you find a way to give your brain a rest soon! (a real one, even~)

@noelle i mean, they aren't a particularly great company, of course (something, something, no ethical consumption)

but they really do help with a lot if your resources are limited, and is free--which is why a lot of people use them

@noelle (it totally does serve content though)

its whole thing is if someone requests a thing from your site, that thing gets cached on their servers and served from there instead until you change it

so if you post a 1mb image on a low bandwidth box, and a thousand people see it, instead of uploading 1gb, you probably only will do that once and the rest will be from cloudflare

it also means people who have slow connections to you probably won't notice since they'll only download html from you

@monorail it's true!

though in practice, a lot of people basically disable the cache for html content because dynamic things change more readily than things like images and scripts (for which it basically acts like an automatic cdn)

@technomancy @m455 if you suuuper needed to use those tools, both are luckily some of the most forwardable over ssh between vscode's remote ssh windows (kinda like emacs tramp with lsp/dap) and the classic ssh -D socks proxy for browsers (though chrome annoyingly needs an extension to use those easily, unlike firefox)

it makes both only really a matter of having a good ~/.ssh/config

those aren't quiiite the same aesthetic as using a terminal-only setup to do the things you need though

@m455 this vibe rules tbh

it's an absolute aesthetic to just hack on things from a lo-fi system with nothing but combinations of simple tools that work excellently when wielded skillfully

sure, it may be just the unix philosophy, but dang does it feel satisfying in practice

@noiob oh! that does seem pretty handy~

it's definitely true that moving windows between workspaces in some things can be a paaaaain

not sure if i'd use side by side workspaces much though

huh! that's a higher ratio using it than i expected

(i wonder how much of that is from how they are a part of the default paradigm of linux desktops?)

Show thread

@codl oh, huh! i didn't even think about how that combines with tiling

i still haven't really touched any tiling wms

@cinnamon oh, i feel you with browser tabs. i aggressively close those whenever i can justify doing that

i guess i just developed a habit where each desktop is for a specific thing i wanna hyperfocus on without distractions from anything else i might also have in the works

when i am on one, nothing else exists--i can focus fully with my often-fullscreen windows relating to a single topic without clutter from unrelated things

that clutter belongs on desktop 1 until i decide to split it out

@bx bx bringing the important stuff

(also, goodnight..! ^^)
