Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

    Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    Last year, I got myself a new Camera, a Lumix S5, and after uploading some photos to DeviantArt (I have had the same account for almost 20 years) and browsing my gallery I realized that I had had enough.

    It was so slow and annoying to work with.

    So I sat down and started work on a simple webpage that I could host on a normal webhost.

    And I built a nice index page in HTML/CSS, and then used photo albums generated by digiKam for the photo albums.

    It loads fast, it is easy to navigate, fairly easy to update, and the photo albums can be navigated with arrow keys or swipe gestures.

    I am considering writing a blog UI for me to be able to make a simple blogging page, I'll still write it in static HTML/CSS, so I'll have to write every blog entry in HTML as it stands now, but I'll keep looking for easier alternatives

    Word. I often complain at work how programming and programmers seem to take "computing resources are cheap" as "USE FUCKING EVERYTHING". There is fuckloads of bloat and web frameworks that are somehow marketed as "lightweight" despite making everything, even the development speed, worse in nearly every aspect.

    Video playback is a wholly different thing, tho, because of all the encoding/decoding that keeps file size down.

    Ah yes, the programmer curve.

    If you like doing the web dev work, it's not hard to implement a simple bbcode using regex matching and replacement. At least, it was pretty easy using php and sql.

    Grav is pretty cool if you like mark down. I haven't used it for a gallery but inserting photos is easy enough
