Given that this is at the middle/low-end of a consumer gaming setups - it seems particularly realistic that many people can run this out of the box on their home PC - or with an upgrade for a few hundred bucks. This doesn't require an A100 or some kind of fancy multi-gpu setup.
Not that these specs are outrageous, but “middle/low” is underselling it. The typical PC gamer has a modest system, despite all the noise from enthusiasts.
The Steam hardware survey puts ~5% of people with 64GB RAM or more
I imagine steam survey has a long tail of old systems. I wonder what the average RAM capacity and other specs for computers from the past year, 3 years, etc.
Apart from security concerns I don't think this is bad, if it is well tested and still runs it fast, then there is no need to spend a lot of money in new software or hardware.
1. Hardware
a. Trying to create my own mechanical keyboard: already modeled, how finding a suitable printer.
b. Waiting for a display to arrive so I can wire into my digital calendar.
c. Waiting my modem HAT to arrive to go to phase 2 of my self hosted server.
1. Software
a. Preparing my next blog post.
b. Working on my distro.
Glad to hear you migrated to plain HTML and CSS, I think this creates a healthier environment: it removes bloat and is more efficient.
My question is how do you update your feed, sitemap and other stuff?
I've been doing it by shell scripts, I'm not 100% satisfied, I also create gemini pages from HTML, which changes content a lot.
Another question: how do you handle comments to your posts?
Because my blog is a static site, so there is no processing on the server end, and I don't want third parties to handle this. What I've done is adding a handler to my mail server, so it writes the mail sent to articles to the right place. And the HTML uses an <object> to load them. I don't like it either, but works. Any suggestions for this things?
>My question is how do you update your feed, sitemap and other stuff?
haven't tried this but maybe you could do that all in PHP and run `php feed.php > feed.html` or something regularly . and now I just realized you said you've been doing it with shell scripts and that's pretty much the same thing, maybe you could use a cron job or something.
I know a lot of people don't like PHP but I believe it's still the best/simplest way to just "make my HTML run code please". and it's improved a lot in recent years as well. of course if you want to use another language you can.
>Another question: how do you handle comments to your posts?
you could use something like Disqus or one of the alternatives. there are self hosted ones if you really don't trust third parties but then you might as well run the web server on there (and run PHP normally).
also just wondering how are you using <object> for this?
so when I receive an email it is appended to this mail/uptime.html file.
I don't like it because I wanted it to be just one p for each email, but the object has a whole page, like head, stylesheet, and it's separated from the outside context in some ways, not really sure.
Also I have a SMPT server featuring automatic encryption using the WKD standard: https://dovel.email the idea is that people could self host their email easily. Maybe I'll make a SAAS for this.

The idea is to have the minimum needed for a usable graphical experience. So drawing to drm buffer and handling inputs basically. It's been fun to do.
I am build a toolkit for it too:

I think it is nice that we can just write to a buffer and it appears on the screen. Very little abstraction is needed. Hope you like it.
I also made some progress on my hardware projects, but I'll keep a low profile for now.
