Neat project for learning how to build a Rust-based hobby OS on a Raspberry Pi https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials

has anyone used the titan protocol (gemini://transjovian.org/titan) yet for anything cool?
it's intended for editing existing pages/resources though it could be a great way to support general file or image uploads. the lagrange client already supports it but it does add complexity to other clients if a capsule relies on titan for participation. that could end up being a big barrier to entry on top of the difficulty of breaking into using gemini already

Gemini and Titan should really have been called Castor and Pollux, and collectively known as Gemini.
Missed opportunity to be honest.

Anyone aware of ongoing OS replacement projects for old low power handhelds? Like the Palm etc? Most of the stock OSes have unremovable apps that no longer work. It would be cool to see a simple modern OS for this old but still great tech.

Ubuntu. I've tried a lot of other distros but I always end up coming back to it. I might try Zorin next time I do an install, but that's also Ubuntu based.

Using FreeBSD for about 2 years now. It works, doesn't get in the way and have lots of packages (I use pkg). Bhyve seems interesting, and ZFS with compression is nice.
For Android develepment (with Android Studio, so there is no FreeBSD version) I use Void Linux.

are you learning or working on anything interesting?

@136 people who grok haskell to me are always intimidatingly smart. i took a brief intro course to it and could do a few basic algorithm exercises but i never became confident enough in it to try personal projects. and what a fantastic name
@138 rpi projects are always fun, i have a couple filling a few roles around the house. are you a whole handheld rpi kit with touchscreen/etc? and do you have your own printer?

@104, wow, I am not familiar with this stuff and it looks wonderful! I have a 60% keyboard right now but there's little configuration I feel like I need to do since it already does everything I want it to do. Excited to get started on tinkering with my 40% whenever it arrives, thanks for these resources!

@105 I like smooth linear switches. I've tried many switches, and Gat black inks hit a price/smoothness sweetspot. I used to use box switches, but over time have come to value smoothness more and find that wobble doesn't bother me so much. That said, Gat black inks are on the less wobbly side for non-box switches. I would try out new switches more often if (1) I had a hotswappable PCB (easy problem to solve), and (2) lubing and filming a set of switches wasn't such an emotional drain (harder problem to solve).

The domain name here made me fix a case sensitivity issue in my Gemini client. Thanks.

@53: in Java; for, well, mostly my own entertainment I suppose. It's here if you want a try: gemini://freeshell.de/jemi.gmi - hmm, that's an old version, and I should put up a more recent one.

@60 i wrote iich in typescript. i had wanted to use this project as a way to learn deno but deno's TLS implementation doesn't expose client certs so that would hamper any sort of persisted interaction (also i am very embarrassed about the code there are no tests and it was just hacked together in a weekend ;A; i want to get it in a good state beforehand [and maybe scrub the "asdf" and "zcxv" commits from the git log])
