I sent an email in May asking for an account and the email must have gone into oblivion, because I never heard back from them

I accidentally clicked "Get new reddit" on the top left corner today and I have not been able to get back to old reddit, even if I set that I prefer the old reddit.

Thanks for submitting! I am the author of the post, happy to answer any questions

I've wanted to work with org mode for so long, but I can't simply bring myself to use emacs. Nothing personal. Org mode is awesome, tho.

I've been vibe coding a way to stream my music files collection. Right now I have a server in my NAS which serves a website that streams my music, like an Internet radio but on my local network. I've been very happy to rediscover my collection, especially when I wake up and let it put something random. Maybe it could be something that I could use beyond my local network? (for personal use, of course), what I have now is already making me happy.

It hasn't been the same since Comic Chat was discontinued

I'm rebuilding my RSS feed collection, and having pretty astronomy pictures is a fine addition. Thanks!

I wouldn't think it's very cost effective to apply GenAI to extract email addresses

I stopped being concerned about email harvesting years ago, I just simply leave the email on my website. Spam handling is okay enough, I guess.

But I like this review of techniques, even the simplest ones are very effective, that surprised me.

I used Haxe a lot when OpenFL + HaxeFlixel were still more common. Haxe is a nice programming language.

I have mixed feelings with this. I've just checked out my GitHub repo and just realised that Claude itself inserted as a contributor without giving me a heads up it would do it.

Ricardo Quesada is also one of the creators of cocos2d, he's been around for a while!

Hi sillysaurusx,

I've been in your place. I was 36 when I decided to separate, after 7 years of marriage/10 years of relationship with my first serious relationship ever. It was also a few months before the first COVID lockdown, so I could say I was really alone. At least physically, I had my family and some friends, but I had also recently moved to a new city. The circle of colleagues who I'd thought would become my social circle disappeared overnight due to COVID.

In the past 6 years I've made a small circle of friends who live physically close, the kind that you don't need to plan 3 weeks ahead to meet. Just pick up the phone and meet in 15 minutes. I feel that this is a fundamental block for wellbeing. I grew up with the Internet, I love it to bits, but it's no replacement for human contact.

You've also read about hobbies. In my particular case I picked up the ukulele. During lockdown I participated in an online session that happened daily. That formed a community, and although I don't go to those online sessions anymore, I made friends, and I meet them a couple of times a year, when we meet at ukulele festivals to play together. A smaller group we meet every 2 or 3 months at someone's house to play for a couple of hours and have lunch. I myself run a monthly session at a pub, where we gather a small bunch.

To this day I have not gone into dating anyone consistently. I tried a couple of times, but they weren't the right person. Although I'd like it very much to date someone, it's not really a big thing in my life.

I am, of course, living in a city where I can walk to most places. I am not sure I would be able to do this in a suburb. It's a genuine fear I have that moving away from the city, being as single as I've been in the last years, would make me become a monk, and learn the ways of distilling whisky, or transcribe bibles.

I don't have much advise from this, really. Meeting people for the sake of knowing them (rather than trying to get into another relationship), be a little vulnerable, be open to be a little inconvenienced. We really do need each other to survive out there.

I really hope things improve for you, and that you find your community <3
