I've just published version 2.95 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. This is an important release, as it fixes an issue that can lead to denial of service attacks, so please update as soon as possible. It also includes the following changes:

Fixed a bug in the notification page that made snac hang forever while trying to read abnormally big files.

Improved support for text-only web browsers: it's now possible to configure a set of web browser user-agent strings that will receive simpler HTML in the private timeline web UI. Basically, it consists in avoiding details / summary HTML tags as much as possible.

Added some fixes to media proxy code.

Fixed EmojiReact code to allow any emoticon defined in emojis.json, not only those with colon-wrapped identifiers.

Fixed a bug in notification filtering (paging was sometimes incorrect).

Added a notification filter for Webmentions.

Mastodon API: Don't return reactions count as string (contributed by mkljczk), implemented GET /v1/media (contributed by clairemont).

Fixed bug in documentation examples (contributed by Sprite_tm).

Updated Ukrainian and Russian translations (contributed by wincentbalin and koru).

                        @aud @SnoopJ @jonny The most wild one to me is that large parts of the frontend, including a lot of the e-book viewer, are written in a compile-to-JS language called RapydScript. Kovid wanted the syntax of RS to be more like Python, which the original dev of RS didn't want, so Kovid forked it and made RapydScript-NG.

                        All that would be bad enough, but so far as I'm aware, Calibre is the only project using RS-NG, so Kovid started adding random Calibre library functions to the RS-NG *compiler*.

                                probably never use a preset exactly as they come cause i like playing around, sometimes really start with a plain init patch but im also not that advanced that i am able to make patches as great as some factory ones e.g. on my minilogue XD - so it’s really a totally open way how i have it. purism for one or the other option is not my thing

                                  @etherdiver I don't use synths that often but if my needs are simple I usually do them myself while if they're more complex I check the presets to see if I can find one to tweak.

                                  Whatever I think gets me there faster.

                                      My main focus is the 303, so I can choose between two presets: Sawtooth or Rectangle. That's it. 😅

                                      I use other gear in my wide gigs and there I use mainly presets to get quick results and because my patch experiments mostly sound like shit. At one point I need to experiment more to prepare my own presets or better: Get the experience to come up with fitting patches on the fly. I'm not there yet.

                                        @etherdiver I do a lot of musicking as a live coding jam, so part of the fun is starting with something simple, and making something more complex and then changing the sound throughout.

                                        There are presets, but I need to remember them, I don't have them written down or ready to be copied from somewhere.

                                        If I like a particular sound, I take a note and try to recreate it at a later point.

This is true pretty much as far into experimental music as you want to go, if someone is talking about pushing what music can be, rather than just making weird art they like they are a hack.

E.g. apropos wifi on my freshly installed NetBSD finds me documentation for the available network drivers, and a very helpful page afterboot that explains, among other things, how to connect to WiFi (and then install software from binary packages).

Being able to find out how to configure my specific quirky video chipset on an old compaq laptop 100% from the man page, entirely offline, on OpenBSD was kind of a highlight of that experience, and apropos absolutely helped

I have also since learned that some Linux distros don’t install all the man pages for the software they install (or distribute them as separate packages - this is often the case with Perl). Apropos can’t help you if the man pages are missing! 😠

For example, man -k wifi gives the same result as apropos wifi.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        AND the argument can be a regular expression! The example in the manual is

                                                                                                                                                                                                        $ man -k '\<copy\>.*archive'

                                                                                                                                                                                                          It’s crazy for how much the no longer made hardware is going these days.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          This thing here is cool because you can AirPlay 2 to it but you can also input audio (e.g. from a record player) and stream it throughout the house.

I love hand drawn notes for explaining things to others and think a drawing tablet could simplify a few workflows compared to needing to print out artifacts to break out the pens and markers. (That and perhaps things will look better than the MS paint level mouse drawn annotations)

I honestly can't tell the difference between the tablet part of the tablet between Wacoms and Huions. Perhaps people who are super advanced can tell the difference 🤔 in terms of resolution, precision, ease of use and such, both are quite similar in my experience. This applies only to models without built in displays that have a battery-free stylus.

I only have a Huion display tablet, and its screen is pretty bad (though it's almost ten years old).

It's still a thing I use out of inertia/lack of better options and I may be excited for Debian specifically if they actually pass the resolution banning it in the project itself but... who gives a shit if your kernel is proprietary or not if it's all corporate backed slop either way

The rendering is okay for the era when people mostly used tables for layout instead of CSS, but is not good for actual tabular data display, which is how people use tables today. I would be reluctant to recommend it to new users.

I basically just wanted images that scaled to fit the actual elements on the page in elinks as opposed to being something you clicked and it maybe displayed that separately. Browsh does what I'd want, but Browsh is also cheating by piggybacking off Firefox.

Back around 2001 I'd use lynx on the real actual Linux console (SVGAtextmode for the win) and if I wanted to view a picture I could keyboard over to it and open it in zgv. Worked an absolute treat.

I want it to eventually run on a microcontroller (with say 8-16 MB RAM), because I want more little gadgets that aren't phones that can browse the web

I'd say you might be able to achieve lots with that amount of RAM, because Netsurf can work with that much, and MicroWeb manages to be useful with 640K or less
