Following on from my Haiku laptop, I have set up Moku Pona as a small-web aggregator. This is great because I can separate following pages from my client, and switch to Kristall on Haiku (native) and LaGrange on iPadOS. I love Amfora and it's subscription feature has been great, but it's not the best way for me to read the small-web any longer and it was a little inconvenient that it's so Gemini focussed (Gopher and HTTP are possible via proxies).


Between IRC and small-web, that's a cozy little machine. Maybe I'll try and learn some Haiku programming, IIRC it's all C++ classes as the first-class development environment.

I had a package either stolen or (quite possibly) it has blown away. Not had this happen yet and I get quite a few deliveries, although I am also normally home all day. It's not a lot of money, but it's frustrating as I needed those MicroSD cards to put on a new ARM machine I'm getting NetBSD running on (hopefully, at least). The board has an Allwinner H6 processor so most of the perhipherals that I care about should be supported, and I can crib the DTB file from the Armbian install that came with the machine. One day. When my SD cards arrive.

The IPX case build I mentioned on Mastodon is proceeding. I had to repair Dylan's 3D printer to get better results but in the mean time I also treated myself to my own printer which has a better build volume anyway. So far, those prints have come could really well, but I had to go on side-quest to dial _this_ printer in, too.

I found out I had inadvertantly misconfigured tiny.tilde.website and now I need to restore a bunch of data from a backup. Everyone has been real nice about it, but causing an outage (or much worse: data loss) is such a horrible feeling. I hope to never get used to it.

Wow, this is a lot of small thoughts? Perhaps I'll leave things there and come back when I have bigger thoughts to write down.
