Are thin clients always used in GNU/Linux environment?
I mean dumb X terminals connected to a shared PC in multiuser mode.
Anybody here doing this at home?

I find this clever to have only one big PC, up-to-date and just basic terminals.

Which lightweight multi-accounts web platform (libre, I can install on my server) to publish #markdown content would you recommend?
I want something that produces simple web page (without js or heavy framework)
Each user has its own site/blog as a subfolder or a subdomain of the instance

linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention

Using #gotosocial + #postgresql for a small instance (25 to 50 users) on a small server (intel N2800/4Gb/SSD). A good idea? Any feedbacks?

It would be great if #GotoSocial interface was translated to many languages.

But it seems that this issue is not very active 😞

The internet connection will be changed from DSL to fibre as soon as possible.

The pollux.casa server sometimes experiences load peaks due to AI training crawlers and search engines.

pollux.casa allows hosted Gemini capsules to be accessible through both https and gemini protocols. Of course, it's on the https side that the crawlers come into play.

Since the main reason for having a #capsule on pollux.casa is to offer it on the #smolnet #gemini, I'm going to take the liberty of installing a crawler blocker on the https version.

Following a power cut, the pollux.casa server was stopped and remained inaccessible from 2025-05-21 15:18 UTC to 2025-05-22 03:25 UTC.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Do you know a good CLI text editor for text writing (blog post in markdown) on Linux terminal

I like vim but I hate the cursor move when you have long lines (paragraph) on several screen lines.
I expect that going up with the cursor up key, I go up one screen line, but vim go up a full paragraph. It's not easy to move in your text.

What do you use ? I need something easy to use (no time to learn many keys combinations)

#cli #vim #texteditor #markdown

edit: got a solution with vim (gj/gk mapped to cursor arrows), see in replies below

Just a toot to see if #gotosocial make links for
#geminiprotocol url in #tusky (so not a #markdown edition)
