Got collaboration working between VS Code and Neovim today! Really exciting! \o/

What features would you like to see in a tool like this? ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป

A VS Code window and a Neovim window are open next to each other. When you type in one window, it is reflected in the other window!

@blinry cool! But... why? ๐Ÿ˜‚

@bytter @skyr

The project is called https://github.com/ethersync/ethersync It's in an early state!

You can learn more about the protocol between the editor and the daemon here: https://github.com/ethersync/ethersync/blob/main/docs/daemon-editor-protocol.md#editor-to-daemon

Between peers, it's currently a plain https://automerge.org sync protocol, but we plan to extend it with ephemeral communication, like cursor positions.

Presenting: Regexle, a wordle-like game for nerds ๐Ÿค“

Guess the secret regular expression by testing strings against it!

@piko and I might be two years late with this project, but here we go!

@blinry For the non-computer people: a regex, short for "regular expression", is a sort of short notation for describing text, for example: The line starts with a "c", then there's a number of vowels, and then there might be a "t". In regex, this would be "^c[aeiou]+t?"

Regexle got some new features since @piko and I launched it on Wednesday, thanks to @spax and emilylime!

  • Dark mode! ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ
  • Emoji stats to share on social media (see #regexle) ๐ŸŸฉ
  • All players get the same starting words for fairness โš–๏ธ

https://regexle.ithea.de

Great to see y'all having fun with it! :) Keep the links to custom puzzles coming, this will fill our backlog for daily regexles!

Also, if someone feels like writing a random generator for regexesโ€ฆ https://gitlab.com/sudo_piko/regexle/-/issues/55

You might've heard this concern about veganism: "I couldn't live without cheese!" ๐Ÿง€

And indeed, the vegan cheese that's available in supermarkets is oftenโ€ฆ not great so far.

So I wanted to show you how to make a simple, quick & cheap cheese from cashews! It's tangy, savory, and has lots of protein!

derphilipp,
@derphilipp@chaos.social avatar

@blinry did it, but had no pre-roasted cashews, so I roasted them myself; in the end I had to take 2-3 times the amount of โ€žwetโ€œ ingredients but it turned out great and is extremely tasty! Thanks for sharing!

A small wheel of cashew cheese with a dark, textured crust on a wooden board. One piece of it cut off and moved out.

@stodarahodan@chaos.social avatar

@blinry this is nice, thanks. Iโ€˜m no expert in vegan stuff so i was surprised on how โ€žcheesyโ€œ this tastes, well at least it makes sense that cheese is โ€žnuttyโ€œ as well

Our roof garden is shaping up nicely! :)

Among other things, we planted spinach, kohlrabi, peas, and radishes this year, and it's fun to see them getting bigger! ๐ŸŒฑ

Got my starting number for the Hamburg Marathon on Sunday!

So excited! ๐Ÿ˜†โœจ

Here's my report from last year: https://blinry.org/first-marathon/

By the way, I could use podcast recommendations again, to take with me on the run!

What's the best things you've listened to lately? I'm interested in concrete episodes, that moved you in some way, and what you liked about them!

@blinry awesoooooome! Have fun!

blinry, to NixOS
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

Let's say I wanted to move my personal server from Arch to โ€ฆ

Are there more modern webservers than nginx in 2024 that you can recommend from personal experience? Or is it still a good choice?

And are there alternatives to a dovecot + postfix + rspamd mail server?

Or calendar servers you like better than Radicale?

smrqdt,
@smrqdt@chaos.social avatar

@blinry I use caddy as Webserver for everything, it's awesome. Working HTTPS with let's encrypt in 3 lines of config.

For mail server I recently learned of Stalwart mail-server https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server, which is a all-in-one SMTP/IMAP/JMAP server written in Rust that looks incredibly easy to configure.

AngryAnt,
@AngryAnt@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@blinry Nginx is a good choice on NixOS given integration with other modules and excellent config module for the service itself.

Only three weeks until my second marathon!

Did the longest run in my training program today! I always try to find new fun routes โ€“ today, I went from Hamburg to Harburg and back again. :)

I'd like to collect "hyper-interesting pages"! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ“„

Self-contained, single-page artifacts that can nerd-snipe you; that you could hand out at an event, and it'd keep people interested/busy for a while, or teach them something!

Examples:

Do you know more documents like this?

What do you wish existed?

A Toki Pona cheat sheet, that explains the full grammar of the constructed language.
A message in an alien font.

@blinry Geographical distribution of place names in Germany, supports regular expressions:

(it seems to support other countries too, but the combo box is buggy for me)

I received two new submissions for the https://glitchgallery.org! I really love them:

"Pacman Pie" was the output of a buggy pie chart generator.

And "Neon Giraffe" is a faulty visualization of Edinburgh's bus network!

Hey :) @daniel_bohrer and I want to visit Switzerland this summer! Do we know anyone there who would enjoy a visit, and might have a couch for us to crash on? ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ

@blinry @daniel_bohrer We do not know each other (yet) but I have been following your accounts since quite some time ๐Ÿ˜‰ here on the server. Kinda feels like I know you enough to
offer you a couch in Basel in case your are passing by.

@blinry @daniel_bohrer If you need a couch or bed in Solothurn (near Bern and south from Jura mountains) please feel free to reach out.
