<p>I'm working on an experimental display server, for educational purposes and fun:<p><a href="https://terminal.pink/bgce/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://terminal.pink/bgce/index.html</a><p>Or <a href="https://github.com/blmayer/bgce" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blmayer/bgce</a><p>The idea is to have the minimum needed for a usable graphical experience. So drawing to drm buffer and handling inputs basically. It's been fun to do.<p>I am build a toolkit for it too:<p><a href="https://terminal.pink/bgtk/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://terminal.pink/bgtk/index.html</a><p>Or <a href="https://github.com/blmayer/bgtk" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blmayer/bgtk</a><p>I think it is nice that we can just write to a buffer and it appears on the screen. Very little abstraction is needed. Hope you like it.<p>I also made some progress on my hardware projects, but I'll keep a low profile for now.</p>

<p>I find it funny that people say "only" for a setup of 64GB RAM and 8GB VRAM. That's a LOT. I'd have to spend thousands to get that setup.</p>

<p>Apart from security concerns I don't think this is bad, if it is well tested and still runs it fast, then there is no need to spend a lot of money in new software or hardware.</p>

<p>I have 2 fronts actually:<p>1. Hardware
  a. Trying to create my own mechanical keyboard: already modeled, how finding a suitable printer.
  b. Waiting for a display to arrive so I can wire into my digital calendar.
  c. Waiting my modem HAT to arrive to go to phase 2 of my self hosted server.<p>1. Software
  a. Preparing my next blog post.
  b. Working on my distro.<p>References:<p>- Blog: <a href="https://blog.terminal.pink" rel="nofollow">https://blog.terminal.pink</a>

<p>it goes like this:<p><pre><code>    <footer>
      <hr>
      <h3>Responses:</h3>
       <object data=/mail/uptime.html type=text/html></object>
       <a href="mailto:reply@blog.terminal.pink?subject=uptime">
         reply
       </a>
    </footer>

</code></pre>
so when I receive an email it is appended to this mail/uptime.html file.<p>I don't like it because I wanted it to be just one p for each email, but the object has a whole page, like head, stylesheet, and it's separated from the outside context in some ways, not really sure.</p>

<p>Glad to hear you migrated to plain HTML and CSS, I think this creates a healthier environment: it removes bloat and is more efficient.<p>My question is how do you update your feed, sitemap and other stuff?<p>I've been doing it by shell scripts, I'm not 100% satisfied, I also create gemini pages from HTML, which changes content a lot.<p>Another question: how do you handle comments to your posts?<p>Because my blog is a static site, so there is no processing on the server end, and I don't want third parties to handle this. What I've done is adding a handler to my mail server, so it writes the mail sent to articles to the right place. And the HTML uses an <object> to load them. I don't like it either, but works. Any suggestions for this things?<p>Thanks!</p>
