  • There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.

    It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

    It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

    I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.











  • If you just want to play around with it, I highly recommend some arch based distro (because you can find plenty of obscure TUI apps in the AUR) with a window manager (be it tiling like Qtile or stacking like Openbox).

    If you want something preconfigured, I’ve recently found instantOS, which seems to work fine for that usecase.

    I use this small laptop mostly for ebooks (using the excellent epy) and music, using one ot the TUI YouTube frontends.








  • The community has been very calm and respectful so I’ve never really had to think about the moderation. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a deleted comment for example, and I’ve certainly never seen a hateful post or comment.

    Other than that, the admin, db0 is quite left-leaning (or at least anti-capitalist), but so am I, so it never really bothered me.

    To be completely honest, this is the only instance that I have an account in, so I can’t really compare it to the others, but it just felt like home to me.


  • When the reddit went bad I started looking for anti-corporate communities that would migrate.

    r/cyberpunk was the first place I checked, but there was no discussion about migrating at all there. r/selfhosted was another obvious idea but people there seemed very reluctant as well.

    The only sub that pointed to some clear migration path was r/piracy. I really appreciate the integrity of dbzer0 in this situation.
