Did anyone here use PowWow back in the late 90s?
Did anyone here use ICQ back in the 90s? I was shocked to learn my UIN actually still works today 🤯

Recently I switched to Honk, a ActivityPub server written in Go. It is mostly without Javascript.
This means you can use any browser to view the time line.
Honk doesn't support external clients like toot.
=> Goodbye Manjaro, Hello Debian
I have been running Linux on my personal computers for some time now, probably between 10-12 years. I started using Linux after I worked with it as a Post-Grad, it was love at first site, how can you not love the SPEED?!
I first tried Scientific Linux, then some weird Ubuntu/Debian derivates like Elementary, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Voyager linux etc; I had no idea what I was doing and what I was looking for. After a few breaking of install by adding dodgy PPAs I discovered Manjaro XFCE; it was amazing and everything I was looking for! I went full Manjaro, even printed those little stickers to stick on my laptop after I removed the Windows ones. After a few years on Manjaro I got that itch again and went down other Linux rabbit holes (ArchLabs Ricing etc). One of which was the systemd-free one, but that for another time.
* Gemini links can be opened using => https://gemini.circumlunar.space/software/ ↺ Gemini software
