A standard deck of US playing cards has 54 cards including Jokers, and the standard Rubik's Cube has 54 stickers. Therefore it 's possible to represent the state of Rubik's Cube with a deck of playing cards--and it's possible to "solve" Rubik's Cube with them.
If I pick up a delphi book, by say, Marco Cantu, will this help me with the non graphical portions of free pascal? I guess my driving question here is, should I bother reading up on Delphi, or will it confuse me since they may have diverged far enough away. I know there's Delphi mode in FPC, but I'd like to learn just one, and there's more documentation on Delphi.
Cita célebre (automática) — Hola, he creado una cápsula que auto imprime una "Cita célebre" cada 4 horas, como experimento con un servidor remoto, bash scripting y crontab :-) Espero que les guste la idea. [gemini link] Es algo así como el "Fortune" de CLI y está basado en un script bash que muestra una cita al azar al abrir la consola (Linux) o encender el PC (Haiku-OS)

xv image viewer — xv is an amazing, minimalistic, old school, open source, but not free software, image viewer. it is available in gentoo by doing `emerge xv` so i use it since i found it about 20 years ago. when i have mounted nfs partitions and the connection is slow or unavailable, all other image viewers are not able to even load themselves. xv is always available and responsive. though it is not free software but i can build it with png and other modernizing patches made by community....
Censorship is censorship
Why did Wirth's languages never see widespread adoption besides Pascal? Even Pascal is not used much nowadays outside of Delphi and Lazarus. I tried Pascal myself and I found it to be a nice language structurally, but I also found it to be missing basic features that relate to writing the language itself (example: not being able to insert newlines into strings like you would do in C via '\n'). I also don't like how much "modern" Pascal is centered around just 2 compilers: FreePascal and...
openid for gemini — i believe that activity pub is an overkill for the problem it is trying to solve. we have rss/atom/yyyy-mm-dd for fetching news. rss solves the problem of fetching new content, following someone. openid solves the problem of replying/commenting/reacting as someoe. in a sense, we don't need a social network because internet is already one. internet with rss and openid covers essential features of what we call a social network. so let's adapt or design something like...
Android - Justify doesn't work — Hi all. Even with the justify opción enabled, lagrange doesn't justify the capsule text (Android last version)
Just out of curiosity: what non-FOSS apps, if any, do you still use on your degoogled phone?
Hey, my dudes. Do you remember what day it is? Wednesday, of course! [preformatted]
Beginner tips for beautiful diffs? — I largely prefer command line tools, but when it comes to handling merge conflicts I find command line diff tools confusing (e.g. I'm in vimdiff and I've got these panes open - which is which?) and always end up either using a GUI git client like sublime merge to visualize the diff or dive into the file with conflicts and resolve them manually. Also, there are times when I wish to compare two files or strings. Sometimes I just make some dummy git activity to...
Share minimalistic CLI softwares you use, I will start: sfm - a file manager build on termbox, you can set program to handle a file type (by file name extension) in config.h vgmi - CLI gemini browser with vi keybinding written in C, their official git seems to be locked behind password, but their github mirror is still open.
Game Boy Tarot Project Update — Wanted to make an update about my Game Boy tarot card project. On February 9th, I had posted that I only had 17 of 78 cards done, with 8 of those card designs having been done between 2022 and the end of 2023. I got motivated to finish up a bunch of cards per week and ended up finishing all of the designs on April 9th. Since then, I got a physical deck made, which is shown in the attached image, and I have started on the Game Boy ROM. In order to fit all of...
Where to buy retrocomputers? — This might sound like a silly question, but where would you start looking to buy retrocomputers? I suppose there are things for sale on the internet, but not everything you can think of is actually as available as "modern" products seem. What if I want a specific model of a 386... where do you all go to find something like that? Or do you have to have been retrocomputing since back then? feel kinda dumb here since I have (confession time) actually thown out old...

A Reply to @requiem re: Chafa Script — This should be a reply to [this post] by @requiem, but I could not add a long reply with my code contribution. So I made this separate post. [gemini link] [this post] @requiem provided a bash script that wrapped chafa and outputed gemtext. Chafa is a very nice image-to-text conversion tool that everyone in Geminispace should know about. [https link] The chafa homepage I decided to change the original script because it was too interactive, imo, and...
Smol Web related packages — Hi all, ive created a gemini capsule to upload my Haiku-OS related-packages for the Small Web. Atm i only have 2 packages but i'm working in more. (I'm not developer! Then the things flow slowly!!) -> [gemini link] <- I hope this is useful to someone and if you have any recommendations please don't hesitate to write them! Regards! 🍂 At this moment i'm working on Gophie (A java based Gopher browser) and in some Gopher/Gemini server :-)
UNIX way/KISS monitoring and alerting What do you use to monitor multiple machines/servers/services/etc? I am interested in the most simple, flexible, and robust approach to monitoring/alerting. What kind of software, approaches, etc. Systems like Nagios/Icinga and Zabbix seem to me very overloaded and are one big point of failure. I know about Monit, Munin, RRDTools. But are there any even simplest options? It is possible even without external dependencies, i.e. databases, or even without...

privacy for hosting gemini site? — Hello friend I know gemini use the limited protocol itself to protect the privacy of the client, but what about the host? How do you protect your own privacy when you hosting a site? or do you not worry about exposing your information (like your IP or your email or anything people can get from your domain name) on the net? If you think it is not a concern, I would love to hear your reasoning. Maybe I am just overthinking? And if it does bother you, please...

A script to generate Chafa galleries for gmi — Hey! I can only take credit for the idea, but I am sharing a little script cobbled together with artificial help that generates a little .gmi ANSI gallery out of images in a directory. An example: $ ls something.jpeg something_else.jpeg testing.jpeg another.jpeg somefile.jpeg $ ./chafa-gmi-gallery-gen.sh Enter gallery name or leave blank to use...
