i fixed the touchpad! turns out the cable was loose lol

me at 9am: pfft, starting school stuff at 10am? i'll have it done by 10am!

me at 10am: ...i may or may not have overestimated my abilities

reply to thought #1632168380:

the only logical explaination - no thoughts. head empty

damn i didnt post anything 2 days ago either...

reply to thought #1632168331:

admittedly, school is properly starting now. i'm kinda worried i won't have time for my projects anymore

damn i didn't post anything today...

met gala? more like wet gala *the entire place is instantly flooded with water*

no clue what the default serif font in windows is but it is kinda bad imho

my page looks awful with it, at least

i could listen to the new osquinn album but it's too depressing for me to just put it on loop

it will, however, make a fine addition to my "listening to sad music makes you sad" playlist

reply to thought #1631950222:

you know what i usually didn't want to post on social media though, funnily enough? jokes, shitposts and random thoughts. for one, i am bad at them. for two, they usually have a target audience that's somewhere in my followers list but it always ends up resonating with the wrong people

technically, it'd actually make the most sense for me to move tech stuff from here to, say, fedi, and move everything else to here

reply to thought #1631948345:

tbh, i've been wondering if i haven't been using this too much like i'd use "social media". as in, a lot of this stuff could just go on my fedi/twitter account, and it'd fit there just fine. noone says i have to actually check on these sites, i can just modify my existing post script to post for me without me ever having to interact with a timeline of some sort

changed the css a bit. hopefully my page should be more readable now

reply to thought #1631948201:

yes, this may or may not be a subpost. or... subthought? idk

yes i did find this on hackernews, no i am not a hackernews user, i swear, i just went there out of morbid curiosity,

reply to thought #1631904691:

i did all my earlier digital art on my 3ds but for a more advanced drawing like this one i'd much rather use a program with proper canvas resizing support

reply to thought #1631904624:

if i'm already drawing on pc i prefer to do it in paint.net, which doesn't work on linux... i guess pinta gets the closest

(wine is unusable in alpine atm, at least for me and one other person who made an issue about it)

i made a drawing recently but never actually turned it digital, which is a shame because the drawing i made on paper was just kind of a concept sketch

<knuxify> be like: can't stand microsoft (windows 10, windows 11)

5 minutes later: me and the bestie (windows 7)

did i ever talk about how much i love windows 7? no? well i really love windows 7

changed the thermal paste in my compaq nx9000, and broke the touchpad in the process. meh

made a small teaser page for punctum https://punctum-im.github.io/

reply to thought #1631860145:

found a workaround: make an empty playlist with the track you want to loop added to it twice

oh damn, clementine's scrobbling support doesn't play nicely with looping singular tracks, which also happens to be, like, my main way of listening to music

reply to thought #1631859808:

i mean there's some point in it at least, i'm definitely in the top ~100 or so of p4rkr listeners on last.fm, and on place 15 of fmbot's .fmgw. that's only for p4rkr specifically, for osquinn i have 800 plays

i really wish last.fm had an option for merging two artists together. like, i have 3000 plays for p4rkr (because quinn didn't change her name on spotify) but only like less-than-1000 for osquinn

i could just automate it move all of my p4rkr plays over to osquinn with last.fm's api, but that doesn't feel fair

...why do i care so much about looking cool on last.fm anyways

reply to thought #1631856976:

oh yeah also i'm staying home for a bit longer because my lessons start later today so i have time to listen to the whole thing in full :)

new quinn album dropped

new quinn album dropped

reply to thought #1631813575:

oh yeah i still can't print from my pc on linux because of brother's shitty proprietary drivers

i was considering making my own alpine repo for packages that for whatever reason i couldn't put in regular aports, like pinta (which i'm holding off because it's gtk2) or brother printer/scanner drivers (which will be complicated to port anyways and i barely began work on them)

auto tab discard would be so much better if it could also auto-close discarded tabs

reply to thought #1631804640:

ok i posted a list on my fedi account

reply to thought #1631804376:

i could go on and on about what i deem to be influential albums but at the end of the day the only thing they were influential in would arguably be changing my music taste

i was thinking of making a chart with my fav albums. there was a thing like that going around on twitter a while ago

top 3 most influential artists in the past 2 years

1. osquinn

2. dltzk

3. uhhhh idk i might just put 100 gecs here even though technically my fav gecs album is the original ep from 2017

my site has broken icons on the blog and fediverse links and i still haven't gotten around to fixing it yet lol

reply to thought #1631799267:

technically i could do something like that but it'd require me to get some kind of screen capture software or do everything in a vm, and i feel inclined to do all of this on real hardware for authenticity reasons

i don't have a hdmi capture card, but perhaps i should get one

i had the idea once for a youtube series talking in-depth about all the various tid-bits in software and operating systems. like, not on a technical level, but at a "let's take a tour around every preinstalled program and feature in windows 7, including the ones that require you to have special hardware" or "here's a hypothetical microsoft office setup and what each of the programs can do".

2013 me would've loved such a series. 2021 me would still very much like to see it happen

sadly i can't use my posting script on mobile because i can't get my session id easily :/

update: i am now sleepy. the weather sucks

here's the code for the post script: https://gist.github.com/knuxify/a50181103d584bab85547b0ecbbdb1fa

wait. if there's a new file feature... could i auto-generate an rss feed?

...no we've already estabilished i shouldn't be doing that

UNLESS

reply to thought #1631766568:

i forgot to mention the people in the webring that have completely empty pages, or pages with 2 test posts

and also the one guy who has an entire page filled with <script> tags

reply to thought #1631766568:

speaking of threads, i was wondering if i wouldn't be able to abuse the "new file" functionality to add thread subpages. then again i don't want to take up too much space on thoughts.page's servers

everyone in the webring: here's some poetry, here's some other cool writing, here's bits from my life

me: fuck it let's add threads

might add myself to the webring idk

reply to thought #1631766175:

hopefully that's not just a passing feeling and will stay with me for a bit longer :p

awake, have showered, have packed to school. feeling suprisingly good and not-tired today

i'll post the script somewhere tommorow. all you need to know - turns out custom html is supported! :)

there, i added threads. time to go to sleep

reply to thought #1631733354:

markdown test

test 1

hmm, there is an api, at least for deleting, but it's not documented anywhere. could it perhaps have a proper posting method?

...hmm, nah. this is fine

oh nice

does markdown still work or is it parsed browser-side or whatever

oh nice, it works! let's test out with some fancier characters then

python cmdline poster test

oh hey, image embedding from external sources works. anyways this is my clementine setup

not like anyone will read this anyways lol

*image uploads, not screenshots. not like i used it anyways

but threeeeeads. sorry i complain so much i know it's dumb for me to join a service and start complaining about it the moment i go there but threeeeads

y'know, this reminds me - i had a quiet account on fedi way back in the day, where i didn't follow anyone and i didn't post anything publically. having all of the regular social media goodies like screenshots while getting none of the same interaction was very refreshing

i'm very much willing to do this again, i've gotten burned out honestly

i was going to say "also rss feeds would be nice" then i realized that the more ideas i have for this the more i realize i'm trying to turn it into social media which is Not Intended, Actually

probably easier to just re-do this in python lol

well, it turns out i just had to put the post data in --data... who wouldve guessed

test 2

...yeah my thoughts look kinda incoherent without threads lmao

...nope, trying to make a request with curl just returns "not found" every time for some reason. i passed the session_id as a cookie so idk what's going on

i wonder if i could make a script to post from the command line. that'd be awesome

i partially stole the css from dithernet haha

admittedly it's kind of a shame that there's no thread feature. i often tend to pick up on something after i post something else, it's a habit i've developed on regular social media

...adding that would probably reduce the minimalism though

i wonder how newlines are formatted internally

i need to know for theming purposes

tbh i was thinking about something basically like this. social media gets tiring sometimes yknow
