Hello,

I started using gemini almost a year ago when I had recently learned about it. after some time using it I got busy with my life and forget that this awersome protocol exists.

today I was hanging out in IRC and found #gemini . It made me check it out after this much time and it surprised me that gemini is still active. however when I searched for stuff using gemini search engine I found a ton of dead links on the first page. it was disappointing. bbs.geminispace.org is still alive and the last post was 7hours ago. there is also a youtuber name zaney who attempted to port entire gentoo wiki to gemtext, but it seems like he lost interest in doing so.

what are some cool gemini capsule which are still active and you use it?

Hello,

I am using qbittorrent for torrenting and my ISP has refused to open up firewall because of fucking "security" reasons. however I can still seed the torrent how is that possible? I mean all the incoming connections should be blocked right? isn't it how firewall works?

hello,

I have recently bought a VPS from Linode and I thinking about using it to host some stuff but I don't know what I want to host and what I can host. I don't have a domain name so the traffic is http only :(. but I haven't hosted anything sensitive so I think it's fine.

what have you hosted on your VPS or physical server?

hello,

so first of all she is hot and I have a big crush on her so much that I can't even concentrate in her lecture.

I like when she make me plea for her signature and make me realize that I will fail the semester if she don't sign on my journal. however she then signs when I beg before her.

she also forces me to be extra polite in front of her. I fucking love it!

I don't know I am just a weird person :(

I want to scrape a website using python selenium however every time it gives different id to same html element. I don't know how to circumvent it.

maybe XPATH is my saviour? but I don't know how reliable it is.

Hello,

I made a simple script to scraper threads.net using python and selenium. the script is just few lines long and it's easy to understand.

So what this script does?

first it will open edge browser(which you can change it to firefox or chrome). now you have to enter credentials to log into it. your browsing data and credentials will be stored in user_data which you can move around.

It scroll through threads's feed/hashtag/explore and It will store the src of every image it encounters so at the end we will have a links.txt file containing all the links to the images we have encountered.

now we have links.txt and we can use the following command to download all the images from the links.txt

wget -i links.txt

the script:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.edge.options import Options
import time

options = Options()
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=user_data")

driver = webdriver.Edge(options=options)

driver.get('https://threads.net')

s = set()

input("Press any key to continue...")
for i in range(30):
    try:
        elements = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//img")
        for e in elements:
            s.add(e.get_attribute("src"))
        driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0, 1000);")
        time.sleep(0.2)
    except:
        print("oopsie")

with open("links.txt", 'w') as f:
    links = list(s)
    for l in links:
        f.write(l+"\n")

driver.quit()

I hope it was usefull :D

Edit: here is a link to links.txt https://0x0.st/HGjx.txt

Hello, I wanted to use hyprland on fedora silverblue but I couldn't find any image. I found this image however when I rebase to that image it drops me into rescue mode after reboot. :(

do you have your own hyprland silverblue images? I would love to try it out :D

I have been finding a way to get video/audio call working on Linux for some time. however whatsapp doesn't have an "official" client for Linux so I am kinda stuck in the web version of whatsapp but the web version doesn't have calling functionality which is bummer since all of my friends uses whatsapp and I want to be able to communicate with them from my Linux machine.

I have tried installing the client using wine but it didn't work either. I know most of people hate whatsapp for obvious reasons but I have to use it to connect to my friend and family :(

this is going to be my personal experience of making custom ublue image. hopefully you will learn something from it.

so first of all you have to decide which Desktop Environment you want to use. I have chosen KDE but you can choose whichever DE you want. to see available DE you can go here. now copy the url of the image you want to modify. for my case it will be ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:39.

create a file and name it Dockerfile. and add the following line to the Dockerfile

FROM ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:39
# Install your favoutie program using rpm-ostree
RUN rpm-ostree install zsh fish neovim vim emacs kitty alacritty distrobox -y
# finally cleanup and commit the changes
RUN rpm-ostree cleanup -m && \
ostree container commit

save the file and run the following command in the current directory to build the image. (make sure you have docker installed on your system)

sudo docker build -t custom_image:latest .

you can now upload it to ghcr.io or rebase on it using rpm-ostree rebase command.

I hope this was useful. :)

Today, I made switch to fedora silverblue and then rebased to ublue image because it has flatpak included in the image. I am also thinking about making my own image based on silverblue. there is a video made by bigpod a youtuber about how to make your own custom ublue image and I learned a lot from that video. I am using toolbox to install various software and I am linking it however I am thinking if toolbox consumes more RAM and CPU. I guess I will find out ones I install silverblue on my laptop with old HDD.

I downloaded my favourite browser from flathub. the flathub repo isn't enabled by default in kinoite image of ublue. I have also find a way to export toolbox container to move it to different machine.

So yeah, I am liking it so far :D
