I miss the "good web".

We can contribute to making a part of it good again with one of these kinds of sites.

I did my part! It is a fun experience. No JS. No CDN. With a webring.

I went to my town's Canada Day celebration this morning. It was really nice.

Great design!!

Thanks for your experience.

It seems a common reason to set up a frontend is for family use. I suppose that is a logical extension of designing a system for its users - if someone wants to use it a certain way, they get to use it that way.

What are your reasons? Discovery / searching?

[โ€“] Wolfizen@pawb.social 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice! Thank you for sharing your experience. :)

How did you get your NAS to know when it was being used?

[โ€“] Wolfizen@pawb.social 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm a fan of simplicity.

Which software do you use to run your NAS? I have TrueNAS scale.

No TV, yes spouse. She prefers playing media from the network folder just like me.

Makes sense! Thank you :)

What is a "tmm" stack? Sorry for my ignorance.

[โ€“] Wolfizen@pawb.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

Absolutely!

What do you like about those that make your experience better?

 

The phone is pretty old, running Android 6. It has 2600.emu on it with the entire catalogue of 2600 games. She remembers playing on her friends' Atari as a kid and some of the games she played so I added those as shortcuts.

I tried several emulation apps: 2600.emu, droid2600, and MAME4Droid. The modern versions of all refused to install. 2600.emu and droid2600 both had an older version that installed. Overall I liked 2600.emu for its better onscreen controls & better paddle control on these specific versions.

It feels nice to repurpose old tech for something "new". It wouldn't be possible without a dedicated community.
