Massive nerd. I love everything Linux, Maths and Open Source!

I dabble in software development - mostly Godot GameDev at the moment!

Self-hosting is a massive hobby, hosting everything and anything: bare-metal rootless installs > docker ๐Ÿคช

I guess I'm also an android nerd, but that knowledge is from past, not current, interests

Half my kingdom for a Signal client that works on ARM (and no, I'm hella not going to compile electron on my pinebook, get outta here, lol)

I've tried Axolotl via flatpak, but it just crashes on start with some kind of (oh gee) electron error.

I expect 1/10 of a kingdom by next Thursday since I am only the messenger

I want to find one language to go forward and learn, what would you the Fediverse recommend?

English (the hardest language in the world 100% with all its odd shit) is my first language.
Iโ€™m honestly open to anything, I was leaning towards a European language, Iโ€™ve tried French, and learnt Spanish 2-3 years ago at school, but I was also leaning for Norse languages too (maybe Norwegian).

daniel,
@daniel@masto.doserver.top avatar

@orbitalmartian German has been fun so far - but probably because it's the first time I am taking learning a language seriously (I am still not very good)

I recently wrote about how Mastodon is DDoSing me every time I post a link to this site. I've managed to fix the problem...I think.

@kev So static sites are fine with Mastodon's high traffic fetching? (since caching a static version fixed your issue)

daniel, to random German
@daniel@masto.doserver.top avatar

So... I think I am safe to announce I have been trying to learn

I am not very good (yet), but I am trying my best. I may write a blog post on my approach to this at somepoint ๐Ÿ˜‰

Does anyone have any recommendations on German speaking folks to follow? ( )

The Fairphone 5 seems significantly less power efficient than the Pixel 7 :(

daniel,
@daniel@masto.doserver.top avatar

@martijnbraam @j4n3z It should turn off?? My OnePlus 6 on LOS 21 turns off it's AoD when the proximity sensor is covered.

Catching up on some emails at the kitchen table, while my oldest son eats breakfastโ€ฆ

Him: (pointing to my laptop) That Rubikโ€™s Cube and DVD player have been in the water and gone mouldy.

Me: Thatโ€™s not a DVD player, mate.

Him: Oh yeah, itโ€™s a radio.

โ€ฆI feel so old.

Any guesses guys?

@joel The Casio Vision Pro? No way!! I was thinking of getting one of those.

Can't wait for the unboxing

I don't think I've mentioned it here but I decided to time limit YouTube to 1:30 hours per day at much. It's been a bit of a problem for me so a bit of a detox would do me good, I think :P

Alrighty. We can't do this every week, but how about we join in on #FollowFriday today?

With a twist ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿธ:
Introduce another (=not owned by you) account to us, and convince us that we would be mistaken to not follow them.

I'm adding a physics-based minigame to my #GodotEngine game and compared #Godot Physics against Godot Jolt. Can you guess what I'll be using?๐Ÿ˜…

Do I have any gamer followers on here? I have a steam code for Doom Eternal that expires at the end of the month if anyone is interested? I already have it and so do my friends.

daniel,

@alex I do a bit myself... But doom eternal isn't my kinda game

@orbitalmartian Does a fair bit gaming I think

@joel Does a lot on switch... Not sure about PC

Just had my interview for the position I wanted to try. A friend of mine in HR told me I'm pretty much the only decent option they have atm.

If all goes well, I might have a proper job now. ๐Ÿ™

I really need to build some concrete habits - my mood has been fluctuating way too much each day....

daniel,
@daniel@masto.doserver.top avatar

@joel I smiled at that, you really love your blogs ;)

IDK maybe, I don't know how well that would work with the whole pseudoname thing.

Technical blogs would be fine, except for the apparent lack of free time required there - except more personal stuff would lead back to me and I haven't figured out if that something I want yet?
