After two months of not uploading my new website because of the daunting task of getting my old blog posts in order, I decided to upload it as is, with some of the posts but not all of them. I'll see what I can do to bring them back.
I've been thinking about moving away from Rails for organicer.io, and instead move to a SPA stack with Rust using Rocket, Svelte and Flowbite Svelte.
While setting up a virtual image on my NAS today I wanted to remove all the X stuff from Ubuntu. Here's how:
sudo apt-get purge -y libx11.* libqt.* libgtk.*

After talking about videogames, blockchain, decentraland, and the future of counter culture with Manuel Araoz, I kindof started to think a bit about the current problems of personal blogging both from the blogger and reader perspective.
Here are some notes to expand later on:
Discoverability: finding articles or blogs to follow is very hard, centralized and governed by opaque algorithms. HackerNews is the closest thing to what an open system should be, but it's still centralized and owned by a company. Reddit is good in terms of compartmentalization (you can find useful stuff in /r/whatYouCareAbout) but is owned by a company and governed by an opaque algorithm. Google is trash.
Comments: Commenting on blogposts is a mess. Disqus is the evil, and a lot of blogposts are resorting to linking to a HackerNews thread, so if hackernews decides to shut down, a lot of high quality conversation will be gone.

I just added Netlify CMS to support content creation on my mobile devices. I'm using it now to post and will try to include an image now. Here's a sneak peak on Animal Liberation Squad, a game we're working on.
I would like to create a command-line prototype of joseph's call using Rust with a custom language for narrative design
I'm adding an atom feed to the microblog, I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but I think it might be useful for me in the near future
I wrote a ruby script to automatically create a post in this microblog. Actually, this was posted using it.
i'm setting up this microblog to get in the habit of dumping the stuff that's on my mind without paying much attention to structure or usefulness.
there will be grammar and syntaxis horrors along the way. feel free to reach out if you find any.
