<p><p>I have seen few search results for this, so I thought it would be a good idea to share what I
37
found out. By full-page screenshot I mean a screenshot that shows the page as if the viewport

would fit the whole content.

47
<div class="home-article-date">2025-05-04</div>
48
<p><p>Copyright ought to be rethought, now that computers and networks exist. Back
49
when not anyone could make copies of books, it was reasonable to assume that
50
if you were making copies, you were depriving the author of potential income.

<h2><a href="/articles/gtk--makes-no-sense.html" class="article-title">GTK 4 makes no sense</a></h2>
59
<div class="home-article-date">2025-03-04</div>
60
<p><p>I recently started to write a GTK 3 library, but then I realised it will be
61
obsolete in 5 years at most, and I thought GTK 4 isn't that bad, so I decided to
62
port it to GTK 4. Turns out I was wrong.

<h2><a href="/articles/font-stacks.html" class="article-title">Proposed system font stacks</a></h2>
73
<div class="home-article-date">2024-12-27</div>
74
<p><p>I've seen <a href="https://modernfontstacks.com/">Modern Font Stacks</a>. I agree that there are many cases
75
where system fonts are fine, but the stacks there have some problems, especially with GNU/Linux
76
devices.

<h2><a href="/articles/linux-on-the-surface-go.html" class="article-title">GNU/Linux on the Microsoft Surface Go</a></h2>
85
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-27</div>
86
<p><p>Interestingly, the best GNU/Linux tablet is actually made by Microsoft. The
87
Surface Go (first generation) is a tablet released in 2018. The performance is
88
nothing amazing, but unlike most tablets, you can actually make use of the
89
performance it does have; it doesn't feel slow for normal tablet tasks either.
90
Besides that, it has a 10" screen, front and back cameras, a kickstand, stylus
91
support and a detachable keyboard — but the latter two are sold separately.

100
<div class="home-article-date">2024-11-10</div>
101
<p><p>I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must
102
switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use
103
Mint or Ubuntu, you're not a real GNU/Linux user.

<h2><a href="/articles/gnulinux-not-linux.html" class="article-title">A Reason to Call it GNU/Linux</a></h2>
112
<div class="home-article-date">2024-07-31</div>
113
<p><p>Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like <em class="emphasis-1">kernel</em>, and it
114
does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU
115
suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like
116
one.

<h2><a href="/articles/homemade-nas.html" class="article-title">Cheap, homemade NAS with Raspberry Pi</a></h2>
125
<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-21</div>
126
<p><p>This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost
127
more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also
128
offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it.
129
And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not
130
worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.

<h2><a href="/articles/moved-to-a-roundabout.html" class="article-title">Moved to a roundabout</a></h2>
186
<div class="home-article-date">2024-05-07</div>
187
<p><p>Welcome to my new website! I've moved from GitHub to a git software I've developed,
188
<a href="https://roundabout-host.com/roundabout/roundabout">a roundabout</a>. To go along with
189
this move, I also made a new website, which is powered by a custom static site generator
190
called <a href="https://roundabout-host.com/roundabout/ampoule">Ampoule</a>. This will be the
191
generator I will use to write the documentation for all my projects, including the
192
roundabout itself.
