Gemini Articles of Interest

A Gemini client^* is needed for the following links.

• Technology and Free Software

  • FuckHub Actions (or: what even is privacy?)

    Following the recent deadline of my student plan on FuckHub, I updated the mirror repo of my capsule/website to have no history; added a simple index page pointing to the main website (where you're reading from, hopefully); and made the repo public.

    [...]

    EVERYTHING is still somewhere in FuckHub's servers. I can actually browse all of the repo's history, up until some known commit (e.g., if I know commit abc123, I can read that and all parent commits on the website).

  • OpenBSD vmm and qcow2 derived disks

    Let me show you a very practical feature of qcow2 virtual disk format, that is available in OpenBSD vmm, allowing you to easily create derived disks from an original image (also called delta disks).

    A derived disk image is a new storage file that will inherit all the data from the original file, without modifying the original ever, it's like stacking a new fresh disk on top of the previous one, but all the changes are now written on the new one.

  • My top 20 video games

    Trivia, I'm not a huge gamer, I still play many games nowaday, but I only play each of them for a couple of hours to see what they have to offer in term of gameplay, mechanics, and see if they are innovative in some way. If a game is able to surprise me or give me something new, I may spend a bit more time on it.

  • My top 20 video games

    I wanted to share my favorite games list of all time. Making the list wasn't easy though, but I've set some rules to help deciding myself.

  • Internet/Gemini

    • Launching smolweb.org website

      I think that Gemini is a response to bloated website that does not fit to many people. It needs a specific browser, it limits creativity and possibilities.
