- Comment on State Department set to launch "Office of Remigration". The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe. 3 weeks ago:
I did not expect a mention of Dries Van Langenhove in the article. Convicted in Belgium for sowing hatred and denying the holocaust, so now he fled to the rest of Europe to spread his filth.

Putting someone in charge of the granary! We should have never allowed that, curse these early humans.
- Comment on Alternatives to MZLA Pocket? 4 weeks ago:
I ended up on Readeck as well, very sleek interface, perfect for sharing articles via public links, self-hosting it was very easy to set up.

It’s a far right cabinet, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

Very cool! And also very handy. If you get tired of them, just reverse the current to some ocean wind turbines, and they’ll never make it back 😀

Of course. He’s rumoured to have partaken in pedophilic sex parties in the 70s and 80s. But that was before he was king, so that doesn’t count (apparently…).

Hahaha yes I would be more supportive of a royal sailing family 😄
What country is it that has these sailing royals?

Belgium :)

In my country we have 2 kings, one of which complains he does not get enough money to fuel his yacht.

Same here, Baikal user for about a year, no hiccups so far, works great across my devices.

Yea I feel the same, especially after reading this article.

Anyone liking this new format?
It seems to me I was more engaged and found more new cool stuff before the layout overhaul. Could just be me, or could be some slow weeks in the self-hosting world, hard to tell.
- Comment on What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood 1 month ago:
That’s what ChatGPT kept suggesting but no, doesn’t look like it at all. The graphics I remember hardly contained any greens. I can remember black backgrounds with harsh pink/purple borders and texts.
Having gone through some of the football manager games of that period, it seems the one I had back in the day was rudimentary, even compared to its contemporaries. I now suppose it was some hobby project that was distributed in small circles, and somehow got into the hands of my Dad, who passed it along. That was the seed for my years-long addiction to Championship Manager :D

Saved to the wishlist! I enjoyed Car Mechanic Simulator so this should be fun.

Anstoss
I don’t think so, that looks way too modern. I’m trying to find out the name but it’s hard with so little info :)

Off the top of my head: Savage Empire, LHX Attack Chopper, Operation Wolf, Lemmings, some German football manager game (I forgot the name, just Zuruck and Weiter are etched into my brain), Supaplex, …

Vance talking sense, what a bizarre experience
- Comment on Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash 2 months ago:
I was just ahead of the curve there. Used Macromedia Dreamweaver at the time to start coding sites. By the time Adobe took it over, I had already progressed to writing HTML in NetBeans. I had it harder with Fireworks, that was brilliant for making visually stunning sites.

I went from Linkwarden to Readeck, I prefer the latter’s firefox extension. Haven’t tried karakeep yet, not sure if I will, still very content with Readeck.
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 2 months ago:
Not a bad idea! I usually let my money do the talking, and just move if a company doesn’t offer what I need. But I might make an exception in this case, thanks for the tip!
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 2 months ago:
I’m on porkbun for some other domains, very happy with them. Except for them not offering .be domains… :)
- Comment on World Backup Day 2 months ago:
I never knew we backed up this world. Can we revert to a snapshot from the nineties please?
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 2 months ago:
Wow nice catch. I assumed they were local due to the low prices.
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 2 months ago:
Keep an eye on the price. I recently switched my
.be
domains from Gandi to Dynadot. 36 vs 6.8 euros, I had no idea such a difference was possible. Fuck Gandi. - Comment on From RSS to Bookmark Manager – how would you integrate? 2 months ago:
This is what I use Readeck for. Offline snapshots of articles, with the bonus feature of public links to share with friends.
- Comment on Least terrible domain registrars 3 months ago:
Thanks for the tip, I’m getting pissed off at the Gandi .be prices as well, just ludicrous.
