It's amazing what a difference a little bit of time can make: Two years after kicking off what looked to be a long-shot campaign to push back on the practice of shutting down server-dependent videogames once they're no longer profitable, Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner appeared in front of the European Parliament to present their case—and it seemed to go very well.

I am looking for expences splitting software that I can host myself, similar to Spliit. Spliit seems to unmaintained at the moment.

What I like about Spliit is that the users aren't required to have accounts, making it easy to use the software with various people. And also, it allows marking down negative currency entries, making it easy to split up one persons debt to multiple people.

If you have any recommendations, please share them. Thanks!

Ibis is a federated encyclopedia with numerous features. If you want to start a wiki for a TV series, a videogame, or an open source project then Ibis is for you! You can register on an existing instance or install it on your own server. Then you can start editing on the topic of your choice, and connect to other Ibis instances for different topics. Federation ensures that articles get mirrored across many servers, and can be read even if the original instance goes down. Ibis is written in Rust and Webassembly, fully open source to make enshittification impossible.

After a long hiatus here is finally a new release of Ibis. The user interface received some polishing, and can now be translated to different languages. You can help with translations via Weblate.

If you already have an account and want to fill it with more articles, use the new Wikipedia import! You can import individual articles by Url on the "Create Post" page. Or write a bulk import script with curl https://ibis.example/api/v1/article/import -d 'url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet' -H 'Cookie: auth=my_auth_cookie'.

Now Playing | Close enough, welcome back Delphine Software.

Today's game is Super Mario 64. I saw that there was a de-compilation in the same vein as SoH and Spaghetti Kart, and i believe it's maybe even done by the same team, and i wanted too try it.

I turned on the original resolution, framerate, and everything to get as close as possible too the original hardware and played from there. Honestly playing this way made me nostalgic. My first exposure too Mario 64 was on the Wii VC, and too this day it's one of my favorite ways to go back and replay it. Something about booting into it from the virtual console menu just feels so special.

All though this was running at i believe a lower resolution than the Wii VC, it still illicits similar memories. I think playing with a control with a similar form factor too the classic controller helped, but definitely the fuzziness helped too. On original hardware i always feel like TVs attempt to do weird things with the composite signal and it comes out looking funny.

I ended up going too Jolly Roger Bay and just chilling there for the day. I did the star in the cave and then chilled on the shore while i ran through some homework on Assembly. I'm not one for letting a game run in the background but the ambience it provided was something nice. I feel like i was back sitting on the living room floor again with the Wii running and trying too learn my multiplication tables and cursive.

I don't think i'm going too pick this up in my currently playing right now, i know i have more than enough, but it was fun too revisit one of my favorite games of all time in a format that is nostalgic too me.

6h50, c'est en moyenne le temps que dorment chaque nuit les Français selon une enquête menée par Opinion Way fin 2025 pour l'Institut national du sommeil et de la vigilance. Un chiffre en constant recul ces dernières années, alors qu'il est recommandé aux adultes de dormir entre 7h et 9h par nuit.

Pas de transcription sur le site, malheureusement.
