Unlucky today... Farkled 5 rounds (!), one of them after a straight. 😢
Trying Rocket Languages, FluentU and LingoPie — Maybe I am wrong, but my approach to leaning Spanish is to avoid translation when possible, but instead try to internalize the language -- I want to feel rather than know. I think it's the key to fluency. And so, in addition to banging out DuoLingo exercises (which are surprisingly good at making their way deep into my brain), I decided to try out a few more apps, in order to get good enough to watch TV. Rocket Spanish They offer a free trial...
Hello.
I had this dream the other night where, in the next world war, trillions of microplastic beads infused with dioxin are dropped by a fleet of large aircrafts. I woke up absolutely terrified.

Geolocation — I got curious on which continents users of bbs.geminispace.org are located so I wounder if the status page could show that?
Has anyone read Margaret Murray? — I read her book *The Witch Cult in Western Europe* a few years ago, and felt enchanted. I am not a neopagan myself, but given her influence on your community, I was curious what you thought of her. (Of course, I know she is not taken seriously by academics, but I don't think there's much to say on that.)

WEDNESDAY MY DUDES 🐸
Rolling 6s again certainly makes the game feel more natural. 🙂 IIRC, in the initial version I got a straight at least once, but I might be mistaken... Was the random number range bug introduced by some recent change?
Showing my script "gemlogssh" in action with an old-school video — I've just published the video in my Mastodon account. The script helps me to manage posts in my Gemini capsule, served with Agate, trough SSH. For the show, I used OBS to screecast a Cool Retro Term screen over an image of an Amstrad PC W512 monitor.
What to do when only one player is available? 1 on 1 adventure! — This time only one player was able to make it to my Saturday game session, but we hand enough notice that I got one of the 1 on 1 Adventures from Expeditious Press and did a quick read through and a very simple conversion from D&D 3E to Labyrinth Lord, mostly by substituting hit dice, armor class, and attacks from Labyrinth Lord and writing down the To Hit Armor Class Zero number. The player had a Labyrinth Lord monk from an...
I just read this advice in geminispace.info: "geminispace.info search engine will shut down on 1st June 2024". Does it refer to a maintenance shut down or it's about the end of the site?
Solía pensar que CABRÓN significa 'amigo'... — Ahora entiendo por qué a nadie le agrado.
Passed my General license exam yesterday — Time for HF
I started a gemlog for confusing Spanish concepts — [gemini link] As I come across Spanish topics that stump me, I will make little write-ups. These are mainly notes for me and my partner, but maybe they will help someone. There are many terrible long-winded and ever-more confusing explanations on youtube. I will try to keep it short, a paragraph or two if possible, for each topic.
Random stupidity — I like to tinker with things. A few months ago I had decided to rebuild most of my system with -Ofast to see what would break. (If anyone's interested, very little breaks right away, but you get a lot of subtle bugs and crashes that show up apparently at random.) Well, I rebuilt *almost* everything with sane CFLAGS, but I missed the qtdeclarative package. I just spent hours trying to analyze why Lagrange kept crashing on my machine whenever I enabled or disabled a certificate...
@gritty When I open the "Play Farkle" / proceed to app link (/farkle/app), it has started responding with status 10 so I get an input prompt. A bug? The game works normally after submitting empty text in that initial query.
How to provide configurable keyboard shortcuts to users of my application? — I'm writing a desktop app that provides configurable keyboard shortcuts. For now these are set up by writing key sequences to a file. Of course, something that sounds straightforward stops being so as soon as you get past the surface. I am now trying to figure out what's more "intuitive" (if such thing even exists) when you're trying to serialize a sequence of keystrokes to text. For example, let's say you have a US...
El caso Asunta — Reseña de mi experiencia con la serie. Me interesa conocer opiniones del público español.
"Exploring Meshtastic" — lark.gay — [gemini link] Lark has written an article on his his experiments with Meshtastic, a LoRa based protocol.
Is there a TUI prebuilt release for linux?
No outline on any tui for Gemini — I miss outline function when I browse Gemini capsules from any tui client (amfora, bombadillo, telescope...)
It would be nice if we could edit our Address Book, within the hashnix.club misfin service.
Nunca hablé español en Nueva York... — Durante mi viaje a NYC, por un mes entero, escuché mucho español. Todos los trabajadores de los restaurantes hablan español. Griego, francés, pizza e incluso sushi. Sin embargo, nadie me habló en español... No, una persona, un bartender muy amable de Colombia, por cinco minutos. Luego hablamos inglés. No puedo culparlos. ¿Quién quiere hablar con un adulto que habla como un niño de cinco años, pero más despacio? La escritura es mucho más fácil. Tienes todo...
