The idea is to have the minimum needed for a usable graphical experience. So drawing to drm buffer and handling inputs basically. It's been fun to do.

I am build a toolkit for it too:

Or https://github.com/blmayer/bgtk

I think it is nice that we can just write to a buffer and it appears on the screen. Very little abstraction is needed. Hope you like it.

I also made some progress on my hardware projects, but I'll keep a low profile for now.

I find it funny that people say "only" for a setup of 64GB RAM and 8GB VRAM. That's a LOT. I'd have to spend thousands to get that setup.

Apart from security concerns I don't think this is bad, if it is well tested and still runs it fast, then there is no need to spend a lot of money in new software or hardware.

I have 2 fronts actually:

1. Hardware a. Trying to create my own mechanical keyboard: already modeled, how finding a suitable printer. b. Waiting for a display to arrive so I can wire into my digital calendar. c. Waiting my modem HAT to arrive to go to phase 2 of my self hosted server.

1. Software a. Preparing my next blog post. b. Working on my distro.

it goes like this:

    <footer>
      <hr>
      <h3>Responses:</h3>
       <object data=/mail/uptime.html type=text/html></object>
       <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=uptime">
         reply
       </a>
    </footer>

so when I receive an email it is appended to this mail/uptime.html file.

I don't like it because I wanted it to be just one p for each email, but the object has a whole page, like head, stylesheet, and it's separated from the outside context in some ways, not really sure.

Glad to hear you migrated to plain HTML and CSS, I think this creates a healthier environment: it removes bloat and is more efficient.

My question is how do you update your feed, sitemap and other stuff?

I've been doing it by shell scripts, I'm not 100% satisfied, I also create gemini pages from HTML, which changes content a lot.

Another question: how do you handle comments to your posts?

Because my blog is a static site, so there is no processing on the server end, and I don't want third parties to handle this. What I've done is adding a handler to my mail server, so it writes the mail sent to articles to the right place. And the HTML uses an <object> to load them. I don't like it either, but works. Any suggestions for this things?

Thanks!
