Yep, both are by the same author (emersion) and there is definitely a running theme in the project names.

Yes, they just download the app and enter the server name, username and pw. It's a private server and I manage the accounts so there is no registration step. And they only need to worry about any of this when they get a new phone.

I've been running Ergo for the past year for my friends/family chat. I went this route because of the ease of hosting, very low resource requirements and a protocol and codebase that I feel I can understand and debug if needed. Th

xdiskusage is an FLTK program I use regularly. It's still one of my favorite ways to analyze disk usage. A nice feature is that it can take a du output file so it's easy use it with filtered du outputs, du runs from other machines

For a site that claims to be minimalist/brutalist and has lynx in its name I was hoping that it would work without JS. But the edit/create page doesn't.

Other than the theme the two have very little in common. Memoir 44 is card-driven and uses dice for combat resolution so there is a lot of randomness. GHQ is a pure abstract with no randomness at all. On the gameplay side GHQ is much closer

For most people the whole reason to do the exercise is to understand what is involved in a bootstrap process. When you don't understand something you stop and figure out what is going on. There is not much point in blindly running comm

Depending on your preferred workflow you would typically have a tiny loader stub in a .lua file that you never need to touch and all of your code in Fennel. You can still add third party Lua libraries if you desire and seamlessly call back

If your PDFs have Author properties then you might be able to do "author:Heidegger" too. The Recoll PDF filter extracts some of these fields and if I remember right it can be configured to extract additional custom properties too.

glibc won't be used at all. With Go on Linux libc is only needed when the libc DNS resolver is used (instead of Go's built-in one) or if C libraries are used. superfile doesn't need either of these so it's very simple to

You can survives disconnects even with xlib, I think the abort is just the default behavior. Emacs is the one program I know of that can actually do this. It can pop up frames (Emacs lingo for windows) on multiple displays at the same time

Working with X11 client libraries written in other languages is a revelation in how much nicer an X11 client can be. CLX (Common Lisp) or xgb (Go) are some good examples. (Talking about native implementations here not xlib bindings).
