im planning on setting it up to run a basic http web server with a basic web UI to let users check logs, and change wifi and domain settings and the checking time.

344 Name: progchan !Hbv-BZDL : 2026-04-27 12:30:25

nice looks good so far! sync'ing the time once an hour and every 5 minutes you're checking wifi connection with lcd stuff. no notes! micro python seems sweet.

https://leetcode.com/problems/zero-array-transformation-i/

Diff array stuff. This one was tough to conceptualize. If you actually loop through the L to R of each query it'll time you out for n*2 time complexity. So its actually like a presum where each index of diff represents the maximum you can subtract from the input array to try and get each element to zero.

class Solution:
    def isZeroArray(self, nums: List[int], queries: List[List[int]]) -> bool:
        diff = [0] * (len(nums)+1)
        for l,r in queries:
            diff[l] += 1
            diff[r+1] -= 1
        max_diff = 0
        for i, n in enumerate(nums):
            max_diff += diff[i]
            if n - max_diff > 0:
                return False
        return True

Does typing speed translate into programming speed? Now days we have all this auto completion and ai shit in general. Can you guys program as fast as you type?

I think you have a myopic view of IRC and alternative imageboards. There are plenty of cool imageboards that have their own culture and regular users. This also applies to IRC. The thing with "more feds" only applies to imageboards that host edgy or otherwise weird content, but not to all imageboards are like that, some are just comfy.

I have a question. What do you think makes social media WORTH visiting / participating in even? For me as soon as there's a sign up its just like fuck this. I used to post on instagram, but now its like fuck it my friends arent there and even the ones that are there won't see it because of all the ads and memes they're subscribed to.

334 Name: Anonymous : 2026-04-21 15:45:04

registration walls kill half the vibe instantly. worth visiting is basically: low friction, actual humans, posts that don't feel SEO generated, and moderation that keeps the place usable without turning it into linkedin.

I've been using Arch for a little over a decade now. I'm unsure if I'll switch to Artix or got the Gentoo/LFS route with knee bending that has happened to systemd. My DE is just cinnamon, I have used DWM in the past, but it wasn't really for me, but I do use ST as my main terminal emulator.

Bending the knee(kneeling before an authority and/or opinion) to comply with recent law changes in the USA that will "require" all computer users to verify their age with the OS they are using. It was sad to see how quickly devs that contribute to FOSS were quick to comply with an invasive law.

fuck me I forgot about that whole thing. its absolutely retarded. we already have it across every site. why would adding it to the os even matter? I literally can't tell if its a global conspiracy or if the world keeps getting a little more retarded each day.

I really like wikis dedicated to their respective communities and I spent too much time reading Encyclopedia Dramatica as a kid.
My favorite encyclopedia is "Larousse Gastronomique", but most recent version is was published in 2009. There a lot of gaps in Latin, Arab, African, and Asian cuisines in book. So I wanted to fill that gap and take note of the all the other things that are missing from the most recent edition.
Now combining my fascination with lowbrow wikis and my love of food I am able to collect and write about things that I'm interested in without being worried about being judged by someone I have never met.
I would like to have a food forum and wiki available to people at some point, but some how in my all years of playing with software I never bothered to learn the basics of webdev(I know the basics of HTML and CSS, and that's it lol) + as my career continues I'll probably have less and less time to manage something like that

253 Name: Anonymous : 2026-03-21 00:54:02

ooo ED was a good one. old internets has some cool wikis. hmm its pretty easy to throw up a static anonymous site on neocities or whatever and you can just ask ai to generate wiki style pages from your text, but ya doing a whole form and editable wiki even if you use open source and ai is sort of a pain to maintain. but having even a static anonymous site is nice for getting feedback on junk.

306 Name: Anonymous : 2026-04-13 02:30:05

>ask ai to generate wiki style pages from your text,
```bash
for f in files/*.md; do
pandoc $f -f markdown -t html -o "html/$(basename .$f .md).html"
done
```
It's as easy as that in principle, you can add making an index with a 4 lines of awk too. Copy the resources into html with another line. Static site generators and CMS are a scam.

right now im building a newwork monitor with an esp32 and an i2c LCD display. written in micropython.

would work but a lot of libraries for python dont woek with micropython.

i wanna do a plant/garden monitoring project using an esp32 and an old raspi. hoping to collect temp, light, soil mosture, etc. would like to work on automated watering and lighting.

might use the pi to do some basic timelapse photos and provide live cam footage, maybe see if i can set up some computer vision libraries to detect plant health and age.

esp32 is underrated. you can plug those things into any hardware project for dollars. im absolutely retarded at using any hardware to interface with that shit though like servos were just impossible for me to get right. how are you watering it?

Also if you compile GCC and Emacs both with JIT support it gets even faster. Gentoo has a useflag for both, but if you really want to, it should work elsewhere too.
