Whysofurious's corner on the internet
In estremo ritardo partecipo anche io alla sagra indieweb di livellosegreto , a tema videogiochi. Grazie a Dottorblaster per il tema! In tutta onestà, questo post è stato nelle mie bozze per quasi un anno, quindi ho una memoria abbastanza scarsa di cosa volevo effettivamente dire quando ho iniziato a pensarci. Detto ciò, visto il recente annuncio di Medieval Total War III, anche questo periodo…
With release 2.0.0, OpenSCQ30 added support for the Soundcore Libery 4 NC, which are the headphones I use. I can finally drop the proprietary Soundcore (Anker) app from my main GrapheneOS profile. This is quite important for me because while I strive to use only FOSS apps, I have to draw a line at health-related stuff. I have tinnitus, thus it is important for me that things like noise-cancel and…
Revamped (“downvamped”?) the layout of the shelves. Now they are a bit more boring but definitely easier to maintain. Might rework them sooner or later.
Just a quick one here, if you want to use Anna’s Archive SciDB to “unlock” (* wink *) academic papers via a DOI, and you are on MacOS, and you use Alfred, you can use a Custom Web Search like this in the search url field: https://annas-archive.org/scidb/{query} I assigned it sco as a hotkey and now I can just do sc doi.org/10.othernumbers/othernumbers This works well if you copy only the doi.org…
Note : since the moment I drafted this post, months have passed, so the “now” should be taken with the month of July in mind. Many things have changed, and I will write about it in the (hopefully next) future. It’s been a while now that I started fiddling into the selfhosting word. Around a couple of years ago I started to be interested into these kinds of thing, but it took me a while to figure…
Added some cool websites’ badges to the homepage. Will add more in the future :)
I am on a selfhosting rampage recently, on which I will talk little bit more about in the future.But in the meantime let’s just say that I wanted to do a relatively simple thing: installing a third party app on my kindle to read the books that I own without having to buy them (again, because I do buy stuff that I enjoy) on the amazon store (and having to be locked into DRM bullshit again). My…
Added a guestbook through atabook!
Shelves are live! 🎉 It took a while and they are definitely not perfect or complete, but I am happy with the results!
So I recently switched to GrapheneOS, and I am also using Miniflux for a while now as my RSS/Atom feed manager. On iOS I used to have Reeder, which is of course Apple-only, so I needed to find an Android client with being FOSS as the minimum requirement. I think I tried for a while all the clients (that I found) available on F-Droid, but in the end none of them had all the features I wanted. While…
Joined a series of directories, cliques and fanlisting. Also moved this section to the homepage. Two new buttons are also available!
Joined Safonts and Citizens of Verdite webrings. Also changed the code behind the webring template.
Fix dates not using custom font by setting GlitchGoblin as fallback.
For a while now (I think a year and half) I followed a process of removing Google from my life. I had it easy for most of the stuff because I was using an IPhone so many (blatantly) privacy-invasive things weren’t there to begin with, but still I removed my old google account, deleted data, and replaced everything that I could replace. Still, I saw in the past years Apple (unsurprisingly)…
Body font changed to DepartureMono .
I read another announcement of Baldur’s Gate Patch 7, and while I like all the new addition and fixes, why is this a thing? Baldur’s Gate is not necessarily story-driven as you can also play multiplayer, but the story plays a HUGE part in the game, since you can technically replay it dozens of times and have different small outcomes thanks to the endless choices available to you. Then why adding…
Added metrics and site colophon
Site is online!
Heyo! Seems everything is working fine? hope so. After a lot of time I managed to get this blog up and running. So this blog is meant as my personal brain dump, I have another blog somewhere else with my real name, but I decided to go anonymous at least for some of the things I want to say, as I don’t want them tied to me irl . Mostly, with this blog I want to explore a different side of the web,…
