Luckily we seem to be entering a new era where people are turning awa
from the big tech - slowly, and not 100% for sure. But at least now
see more people talking about it than ever before.

I'm seeing more gemini spaces, tilde web spaces, blog hosts like bear
blog, and self-publishing than I've seen in a while. Neocities seems to
be doing well, too.

I've recently joined Cyberspace.online and notice quite a few younger folks on there talking about how they came there seeking to get away from big-tech sites and gravitating more towards Web 1.0 type sites like that one. It's cool to see.

BTW if any of you fine folks are also on Cyberspace, hit me up! Macross introduced me to it... pretty cool vibe there.

Ack! Hopefully that can get fixed up. I'll defintely follow you once you're on (I'm knightshadow on there: https://cyberspace.online/knightshadow).

http://github.com/shighfield/tiespace

You can grab it there, linux only but I had the AI write docs to install
it under wsl. Yes, I use claude, it can generate code much faster then
I can, I use pascal as it's the only language I know well enough to make
sure claude isn't introducing spyware.

It needs modern linux terminal as well to display the fonts and images correctly. I use ghostty and kitty for testing, on windows I use the
terminal preview to run wsl in.

Sounds good! I'm on limited internet for the next few days. Our trailer
roof caved in over the winter and the whole unit filled with black mold.

My wife purchased a park model so I've been getting that all fixed up.

I'm not at all handy so the floor looks good at a glance, but without
the area rugs you'd see how the lamanite doesn't quite fit everywhere. LOL

Project this weekend is to fix the furnace, the toilet (always the fucking toilet always always always plumbing and I hate hate hate plumbing), and
fix one of the two broken lawn mowers. Most of my data will have to used watching youtube videos on how to do this and just blindly following some random youtube guy and hoping it works. (I'm not sure why we need to
package all this gunpowder and gasoline in a food grade bucket to fix a lawnmower, but it's on the internet so it must be true!)


... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

What is a "park model"? Is that like a "tiny home"? Or they the same thing? I don't see a real home in my future, but I do very much see a tiny home.

are you still using the trailer with the black mold? and ozone generator might Help, along with a lot of cleaning.

Tiny homes cost a lot too.
You can get a trailer but then you pay lot fees.

Project this weekend is to fix the furnace, the toilet (always the
fucking toilet always always always plumbing and I hate hate hate plumbing),

I listened to a podcast with a couple of actors talking about houses.
One of them bought a new house and immediately replaced all of the
toilets. Because, of course, you don't want to use someone else's
used toilet in your house. The other person acted like that was a
thing.

I've never replaced a working toilet in a house I bought. I did replace
one toilet that was on the water company's evil list for needing some
ungodly amount of water to flush. We replaced it with a basic toilet
from Home Depot that was free after rebates from the water company.

No we tore it down. Andrea found a park model that she liked and bought
it. We're in the same park just in the other (more busy) end. I really
miss the old private lot, but this trailer is much nicer.

I still need to renovate the bathroom and build a deck / gazebo but I
think it will wait until next year. For the rest of the season (a month)
I'm going to just enjoy being out of the city.

RV that doesn't really move. Too large to tow with anything except a
transport truck. Ours is for "camping" so we're in a seasonal park that
is only open from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving (early oct).

I've never heard such nonsense.

replace one toilet that was on the water company's evil list for
needing some ungodly amount of water to flush. We replaced it with a
basic toilet from Home Depot that was free after rebates from the
water company.

The previous owner installed a flush toilet that uses a ton of water,
and then built the cabinet OVER the toilet so you can't fix it.

Since I'm currently flushing with a usb cable I tied to the chain and
have to remove the toilet to fix, I'm going to replace with a ceramic
camping style one (foot control) that doesn't use as much water. I'm
hoping to be able to do this without destroying the counter, but if I
need to cut it I will.
