I went with chafa as it's terminal agnostic and supports various modes.

Then again, I'm not really sure a tui frontend needs high quality image rendering. Earlier I even considered going completely 1bit braille or just ASCII just so that the image doesn't take all of the focus at the expense of the post body.

As mentioned by another commenter, I believe opening the full image in an external viewer is a much better solution, not to mention easier to implement.

I would guess mostly because python interpretes are just about everywhere.

Also the binaries compiled with nuitka end up being much bigger in size. A simple script of a few kb can and up in the hundreds of mb when you start compiling the dependencies, so it's not a perfect solution.

At the time we were watching Stranger things a lot, so I called it demogorgon.

What would you use this laptop for?

I've dealt with similar hardware, using Qtile over a Manjaro base, but had to mostly use CLI/TUI apps. Anything related to web browsing is a pain.

Does the resolution really matter? I may be wrong, but I think nobody runs a Tor node, giving away their bandwidth for free and risking jail time, just so that some random dude in Arkansas can watch some porn.

You're right. When you put it like that, calling it obscure sounds like an exaggeration. Though it's probably one of the least spoken Slavic languages.

I thought I shouldn't doxx myself so much, but whatever. Our native language is Bulgarian.

I guess you can use wormhole to transport the data to your peer, and if you're extra paranoid encrypt it asymmetrically with something like age.

Then again you can just encrypt it with age and send it over Signal. There should be no risk involved in sharing public keys even if you don't trust their servers.

Isn't Hot supposed to work like that? When it's not broken, of course.

I feel like some simple algorithm like the ones used in dithering may be used to mix up the feed.

I missed Atom a lot when it was discontinued. Recently found Pulsar which is a community continuation of Atom, and it seems to be quite active.

Years ago I moved to Linux and one of the reasons was to not spend as much time gaming. Nowadays if I wanted to do the same I would have to move to BSD.

A reinstall fixed this for me, but broke my ability to subscribe to communities and post comments.

Edit: After a bit of browsing it broke again and now I can't subscribe and comment AND rearrange the feed.
