>https://thricegreat.neocities.org/use_tty.txt I'm surprised that there's some bitmap font support for unicode in the tty. Thinking again, I know that Spleen has some unicode characters, though I don't recall seeing more than West European characters, and naming a file something like 'Γ‘' results in garbage in the gramebuffer terminal, even with LC_CTYPE set to en_US.UTF-8.

Regarding mice: On OpenBSD, see wsmoused(8). On linux, see gpm(8).

I now have remembered and re-confirmed, while in the framebuffer terminal, holding one of the alt keys and pressing characters results in special characters. I'm unsure where the associated documentation of the character combinations is, and it seems that it might be incompatible with unicode, for "touch"ing a file with a name containing such a character results in garbage ls output, tty or otherwise.

I've completed more of Advent of Code, and with the help of a friend, a new tool for generic uploads to neocities was written too.

File names are now in a single-width typeface. I noticed and corrected a couple spelling and sentence structure mistakes. My laptop is now 12 years old, not 11. Spleen is my personal choice of fixed-width replacement for acme's Pellucida Mono.

I photographed a field of muddy-colored flowers yesterday, I enjoy how the colors vertically blend.

The soft blend makes it look like a painting.

The colors on the page of appreciated things are calmer. Advent of Code is dedicated a paragraph. Some little things are added here and there.

I noticed you figured out port forwarding: congratulations! You may be in want of a domain name next. There's a company called 'DNSExit' that provides free subdomains that'll point towards your IP Address. I use them for my own self-hosted server, at https://kaa.run.place. See http://dnsexit.com/domains/free-second-level-domains/.

Even for purely personal use, it's a lot nicer to type "ssh kaa@kaa.run.place" than "ssh kaa@111.230.7.254", or likewise, "ssh arandomuser@arandomsite.work.gd" instead of "ssh arandomuser@209.25.140.180".

Routers are generally designed to be accessed from a dedicated local IP address first and foremost. Visiting that address in a browser often provides a login prompt.

Some default to 192.168.1.1, others 192.168.1.254, some at 10.0.0.1, and surely some deault to IP addresses that I don't know of.

@kaa ik what my router ip is, i once logged in to my router and tried to port forward but the port forwarding had to be done on the xfinity website. my problem is that i cant make a xfinity account because of this error: "This information doesn't match our records"

wg2k, there are two ways to do port forwarding on an xfinity router. One of them requires the app, the other requires visiting the router's local IP address. The router login information is often on a sticker on the back of the router. https://www.portforwardinghub.com/routers/comcast-port-forwarding/

Should you need to research more, look for "port forwarding xfinity admin tool", or something similar.

kaa, i cant make xfinity id and i cant login to my router anymore. i tried resetting it so i could login TWICE, but it still wont work. playit.gg seems to be my best option for self-hosting stuff until i get a new router

wg2k: I understand. I'd do more to help you figure out your router if I reasonably could. Best of luck.

Some bugs, both typographical and programmatic in nature, were resolved. In particular, HTML character codes would occasionally be hyphenated when multiple occurred in a row, resulting in a broken HTML character code. Further, there were a couple missing punctuation marks and words by my own manual fault.

>https://thricegreat.neocities.org/use_a_global_variable.txt When I first read this, I was unsure when this logic may be fruitful. I now understand. I recently wrote a couple functions that each need to iterate through their own constant character array. Initially, the array was declared every single time each function was called, which was less than ideal. For one of the functions, I bit the bullet

and passed the pointer through each of the functions between it and the function in question. It resulted in longer function definitions, and felt clumsy. For the couple other functions, I didn't want to do that, so I left them declaring their character arrays each time they were called. This bothered me, enough that I gave a simple declaration above the function definition a try instead. It worked well.

The program that once ran in roughly 0.2 seconds then ran in roughly 0.17 seconds. Both clumsiness and inefficiency were avoided, for the placement of the declaration above the function definition made the intent clear.
