>>12
I used it to run a leftypol-themed textboard called leftybbs for a month, which got maybe a couple dozen posts. Compiling it yourself and typing "make install-all" to test it under /var/www/zbbs would be trivial.

The main idea is boards and threads only have a filesystem representation. Moderation is done by an account in the zbbs group creating files in a thread directory to sage, pin, lock or "zap" (slide and unlink) them respectively. Post moderation is only possible by editing the thread HTML. You could write further moderation tools and patch it into a full-fledged imageboard with moderate effort, but personally i don't think that would be particularly elegant or worth the while. I'm still considering options for a successor design without locking and with a more accessible filesystem representation, running a set of pluggable templating modules in the style of a build system (second system syndrome much?).

I tried setting up OmniOS (an active Solaris distribution) as a virtualization host for the linux desktop from my old computer for a couple of days. Boot environments, zones and ZFS alltogether made this a pleasant enough experience, once you had the fundamentals down. Apparently illumos bhyve doesn't support video over GPU passthrough though, so i ended up scrapping it in favor of just tar-ing the system to the disk. I'm probably going to revisit it, when i upgrade my current single HDD fileserver to a proper NAS.

【7:25】 Best approach for (portable) web development?

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/20 10:05

I'm curious what the best approach is for web development. I want to make a web program but I need to be able to switch from my desktop and laptop at any given time. What's the best approach to that?

(Bonus points for no virtualization as my laptop cannot handle virtualization.)

16 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/25 19:09

For portable server software the right way to do it is docker, yeah. Just learn bare minimum, ask chatgpt to generate you a Dockerfile or look at github for projects with a similar stack, they'll most likely have a Dockerfile that you can learn from.

17 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/25 19:20

Docker does not require virtualization btw, at least on Linux. You're using Linux, don't you?

18 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/27 01:13

>>13
Perhaps, but I don't think I have a set of conflicting requirements here. Any other project of mine literally follows the same layout: Portable prerequisite programs(IE: compilers, emulators, Git,) stuck on a virtual hard drive, and a bunch of my scripts. Whether it be BASIC, C/C++, assembly, or Love2D, that's how it goes.
The fact I cannot seem to make a web version of my VHDs is annoying as shit.

>>14
Almost every day, EXCEPT right now because I'm a bit over 400 miles from my desktop.

>>15
I do not have good experiences with synchronizing Git, but I do already use it to some extent. I just like local copies more.

>>16 >>17
>ChatGPT
I'm not a vibe coder. If I'm going to do something I'm gonna try to do it right. I've asked ChatGPT TWICE for assistance with JS and honestly, my experience went poorly, so I don't want to try that again.
Anyways, I might use Docker once my laptop gets changed out for something that SUPPORTS VIRTUALIZATION.
I actually hate Linux and would only ever use it as server software.

19 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/27 07:33

>I just like local copies more.

No remote server is required, it's possible to set up a repository on a USB stick or SD card

>I actually hate Linux and would only ever use it as server software.

Welp, enjoy your windows webdev experience without docker

what does this mean lol? with git you have your local copies but you can push/pull changes between them (generally using a git server). you can even work on different branches. It's not like using Google Docs or something and git != github. listen to >>19 he understands the assignment

But I already use Git.
>what does this mean lol?
Pushing changes to a Git server has historically not gone well to me. That's what I mean by "synchronization." I just use local repositories as a result, even if I am forced to takeown /f "%~d0\*" /r every time I want to switch computers.

【9:13】 Useful Unix Utilities

1 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/14 21:27

What are some useful Unix utilities you've been using lately?

Something that's entered my toolbox in the last few months is `just`.
https://github.com/casey/just

They're kind of like Makefiles but simpler, because it's not trying to be a build utility. It just runs commands. After a few months of use, I have justfiles sprinkled all through my system to run various project-specific shell commands. It hits a sweet spot between one liners and dedicated scripts, and it has really enhanced various workflows for me. Things that I wouldn't have automated before (because it feels too small), I *do* automate now, because these justfiles feel like an appropriate place for those little tasks.

Hmm...
My .bash_history is 90% yt-dlp calls and various ffmpeg invocations. gifski has been super useful for making .gif files that don't suck, too.

One thing I found that was useful was (is this a bashism? oh well):
comm <(sort file1) <(sort file2)
This was me checking a script full of video URLs to download against another one to see if I had any duplicates between them. With some more fiddling, I was easily able to generate one big script that didn't have any dupes thanks to comm.

I've used qrencode so I don't have to retype a long/ugly URL from my desktop onto my phone, I can just scan it:
qrencode -t ansi "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNkfGHrXixo"

detox unfucks filenames to make them shell friendly. Love it.
Don't blindly run "detox *" in a directory, lol.

I also do have an actual usecase for cmatrix (which just shows a cool matrix screensaver in the terminal), since it's very useful as a live indicator for your connection quality over SSH.
Several of my machines on the wifi will just suffer and die horribly with 1000ms+ pings, although really, I should just go fucking set them up on a hard-wired network.
It also just looks cool.

I don't get to use this often, but something I really like is inotifywait. You can use it to observe a directory for file system events, and run a script when those events happen. The most common use is for doing automatic rebuilds when a source file changes, but I've also used it for other kinds of file processing pipelines.

I've been using watch a lot lately.
All it does is run a command repeatedly, but it's nice for basic monitoring of sensors or a remote control program (eg, what song is playing).
example: watch -n 2 audtool current-song
will show me the current song being played in audacious right now, updating every 2 seconds

Also, one thing I do pretty regularly is less `which script`, where you'd replace script with the name of some script you wrote and I forgot what it's for/what arguments yo slapped together. ` is the backtick, and even if you should be using $(which script) instead, ` is easier to type lol.
