"what are your thoughts on social networking protocols?"

i play both sides so i can lose twice as much

systemd is also preferred, both because of familiarity and because i use some of what it has to offer in my current deployment

@kit i actually ran the main esmbot instance from alpine for a bit

it was not a fun time iirc

chimera seems interesting for server use but its rolling release nature scares me for the same reason why arch on servers scares me, and its package selection isn't that great (its libvips builds can't even handle gif files properly last i checked)

debian-based stuff is Fine but it has some of the same issues as rhel-based stuff in terms of packaging (i dislike both package build systems)

not going with alpine because stock musl performance sucks, people who use arch on servers scare me, and i'm mostly unfamiliar with other stuff

starting to wonder if i should stick with rhel-based distros on the new servers or if i should go for something else

@nelson the linux foundation has been more of a general "open source software" foundation than a purely linux-focused one for ages now

this repo (and its issues section), as well as this teardown, seem to indicate that the 4k60 pro mk2 is a rebranded Yuan SC710N1-L card

while looking at my own card (an hd60 s), i noticed that it used an Mstar MST3363CNK-170 chip for capture - which is also used by quite a few similar cards […]

wondering how many elgato capture cards are actually just rebranded yuan cards

Incredible! Check out this stunning leaked footage from Seagate's newly formed automotive division showcasing the rigorous testing process for their vehicles.

apparently i didn't know this specific turntable needed a preamp

hooked one up, sounds much better now

okay i know almost nothing about turntables/vinyl why am i hearing barely any bass on what should be a very bass-heavy record

@sammypanda yes

@sammypanda i still feel quite iffy about fluxer, but parts of it seem intriguing; i just made an account since a friend circle i'm part of also decided to take a look

will i feel confident enough in it to port my software to it? we'll see

people have ported it unofficially to matrix and revolt/stoat in the past, and there's probably more ports that i'm unaware of

i'm not involved with these ports, nor do i necessarily endorse them, but if people want to make them to fill the gaps in areas i don't really care for i'm fine with that

probably worth noting that when i talk about releasing an official esmbot port for a chat platform, the "official" part is the big one there; esmbot is open source, and there shouldn't be too much stopping an unofficial port despite my thoughts on other platforms

go wild, just please give credit

@leo i think i did see those; for some assets it appears fine, but it seems like it could be a bit more complicated for others

just added a progress checklist to the readme, there's a lot missing atm but hopefully it should be possible to theme all of it (though there are some parts that may be harder, e.g. window buttons in wine and textboxes)

@kulupuSoweli this is true, there's lots of solid options for one-on-one communication

there isn't really anything as solid for communities/groups though

@orpach.neocities.org i have tried stuff like luna and those vista-style themes in wine and they seemed to work surprisingly well

breeze-msstyles KDE Plasma Breeze visual style for WinXP/Wine/ReactOS

screw it, decided to push https://codeberg.org/esm/breeze-msstyles

@sterophonick would probably require rebuilding the theme, the buttons/scrollbars and stuff are bitmaps with static colors
