  1. Okay #AskFedi does anyone have any text-based beginner resources on how to get started with turning a software manual that I have as a digital file into a fully bound book by hand?

    Like, I imagine I'm going to prepare the text by using a word processor to properly layout the digital file, then I'm going to print it, and then I'm going to somehow do some folding and cutting magic to wrangle the printed A4 pages into something in the proper format, and then I'm going to use some arcane magicka to properly connect the pages and create a cover.

    Resources about any step in the process appreciated, e. g. layouting, zinemaking, book binding, et cetera.

    I'm also going to look things up myself on the web (yay #Marginalia), but I'd like human pointers too.

  7. idea of crocheting a single pencil case to wear around the neck is now stuck in my head, after i had been reading a book in the metro, wanted to make a note on the margins, and had neither a pencil nor a pen on me

  12. @jae the dev of #Marginalia search engine implemented a JavaScript-less proof-of-wait challenge, would like to see that as an alternative to Anubis

    by the way, I just started getting into Gopher and am definitely going to try running a gopherhole

  16. @OpenBSDAms @ianthetechie I've read on Lobste.rs that the developer of the #Marginalia search engine made a JavaScript-less proof-of-wait challenge that they claim it's working, they haven't made it an Anubis-like turnkey solution, but you might want to look into it

  21. #RYM developers have long claimed that they wouldn't be able to defend the site against AI scraping and DDoS without Cloudflare.
    Since a few years ago, there's now the alternative solution of Anubis, yet they haven't adopted it.
    Now I'm reading on Lobste.rs that the developer of #Marginalia (a search engine for the small web) has implemented a proof-of-wait challenge that can work even without Javascript (some security folks prefer using browsing without Javascript on):

    This is a good approach. @marginalia's code is currently on GritHub (giveupgithub.org!). But if they move it elsewhere all they need to do is redirect this URL to the new forge, and any links to it will still work. Same if they decide to self-host a forge, then find it too distracting, and move back to third-party hosting.

  26. Just discovered for myself (even though apparently it is 5 years old) another rare bird - an independent search engine running its own webcrawler & index (most alternatives like DuckDuckGo & Startpage just use Bing or Google's) - and this one is foss, & returned some nicely relevant answers in my quick tests.

    Nice to have another option! (along with Mojeek)

    Oh, the connection between magic and mathematics is well known. @cstross has written a fair bit about events involving applied computational demonology, for example.

    If there really is no comment syntax for magic spells, that's unfortunate. It means practitioners probably end up scrawling their notes to themselves as marginalia, and I don't know if the magic could leak across from the main spell or what undesirable side-effects that might have.
