[buildroot-official]

chat what WM should I switch to on my desktop

which wm

WindowMaker (well, GNUstep entirely; like NeXTSTEP)

Compiz (funny 3D effects, highly customizable, no dock included tho)

Fluxbox (use this on my chromebook, kinda like openbox but much more powerful)

CWM (current on desktop, very minimal, no window decorations, keyboard focused)

Ratpoison (tiling WM entirely keyboard focused. prolly has a learning curve)

somehow patch amiwm to work with a modern compiler (very similar to AmigaOS)

Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours

Oh fuuuuuuuuck what if I become a web developer. The pay is great but it would be bad for, like, my soul.

pros:

reasonable way to make and share documents

basically universally supported

I make all my presentations in html using a JavaScript framework called reveal.js and it's so good. Runs pretty much on any device with a web browser.

Somehow need to present on a 3ds? No Problem, I've got it all covered.

[commieclimbercatgirl]

You know what else runs on every device with a browser? PDFs!

[wayfire-official]

Okay but do your PDFs have built in wiimote support?

Because my presentations do...

[niri-unofficial]

I make my presentations in the terminal like any normal person.

No silly browsers involved.

[hydra-keeper]

I do the annoying hipster thing and use typst and polylux (oder einen polylux)

[niri-unofficial]

I've been meaning to learn typst for a while, maybe this will convince me.

[spherespectrumsupporter]

i've told this exact thing to myself like 8 times already, let me know if you are able to escape the loop

[niri-unofficial]

i have not yet escaped the loop

sorry man i can't give you a handjob. it's proprietary and has too many compatability issues. but i can use LibreJerk, which is like an open source alternative and it's just as good

Using linux is funny. Linux is either a penguin or a transgender fox. My de is a dragon. My wm is an owl holding a candle. My terminal is a kitty. My two file manager is a dolphin and a duck. Until i learn vim my text editor is a bird. My browser is another fucking fox. My drawing app is a robot mouse(?), my image editor is a dog whose name is a slur. I not using a laptop i own a fucking zoo.

hii i remem... oh shoot your ask box is vi. <Esc>ddo

hii i remember a wee bit ago you said you were working on a self hosted music server. the READMEs for the server and client implementation seem a bit... sparse. so apologies but i have come here for questions.

first, what platforms does the current client support? some of linux, windows, macos, ios, android? (apologies for not being able to grok this from the code, my kotlin is nonexistent)

second, is it possible to have some screenshots of the client?

third, at a glance it seems like the intended way to add users is not documented in the protocol specification. is there a way of adding users aside from editing the db directly?

i think thats all i can think of right now - i wont even be able to try and set up a self hosted server for a year or three, so im sorry if this is a quite bit of disturbance for something that may amount to nothing!

as for you asking for a name of it, im sorry but my names are terrible. i usually just use a word in cornish for it (edhen is bird and ydhyn is birds. bran/brini is crow/crows. and gryllya is chirp. they are... very different to what you are currently using, but at the very least i think brini is a very cute word!)

Hi,

Yeah, the server is very much not ready for regular use yet and the docs are pretty out of date right now.

I've been working on a docker container but couldn't finish it before going to camp.

The server is running on go, so it supports Linux and idk maybe windows too but I'm not sure. The client is for android.

There's a way to add users via the API if you're an admin (currently I don't have a way to add the first account yet tho)

Thing is, it's still in development and I need to do the finishing touches, like a proper installer and also documentation. I'll have to do it eventually, because it's a student project and I need the grade.

If anyone is interested in trying it out, and I haven't written any docs yet, feel free to ask

[sed-official]

i agree with @niri-unofficial; the client looks really really nice.

if its for a student project, will you and your friend who did the client still work on it after the project has ended? and if i were to, say, add ios support to the client and fix some spelling and grammar mistakes in your current documentation. im assuming you would need that to all happen after the project has ended. is this correct?

[wayfire-official]

Given that we both have vested interest in further development, seeing as we've both already switched to it completely, I think that yes we will continue working on it. My friend has already announced interest in rewriting the server in Rust, seeing as my focus was on making a comprehensible reference server and not that much on performance. Tho, we'll see if he actually does it.

Also, our project is mainly just the openchirp protocol, which is supposed to be server and client agnostic (just implement the API and you're fine), so go ahead with any additional app development. I myself am thinking about forking metro, my former music player of choice, to use openchirp as a backend instead. Tho, we'll see if I actually do it.

We've actually specifically chosen to distance the names of our client and server for that reason, as to not position our implementations as the most official ones.

As with any help on the current project, we'd first have to do a proper rewrite of the documentation anyways, as well as write our report. After that I'd have to ask my professor if that would be fine, if credited.
