I dropped out 2 years ago despite being on there since 2015 which in my opinion was its peak. It was a great place to chat with others about what everyone is building, with their own hands, but now there are too many solutions looking for a problem.
At least hacker news has managed to keep somewhat neutral, despite having its own share of criticisms.
The system usage on this is well-designed. I'm using an ASUS F201E Notebook with Debian 10 and the CPU throttled down to 790Mhz (just a bit less than 0.8GHz) to save battery while I'm out on coding field trips, with CPU usage registering around 20%. Very nice.
After listening to this for an hour, it does well with the minimalist resources it's given. Just like what people do on the Pico-8, limitations start becoming an attractive feature. And you can do a lot with 16 bars. A good example is "Army of Me" by Björk - it only uses 8 bars for its backing track but the constant tweaking of filters make it sound a lot more.
This is starting to get in to www.Pouet.net material. Seriously, you should submit it as a demo. It's not just the coding they're after in demos but also creativity. The votes on HN say it all.
Yeah, I got a load of those bots too. Not sure if it's the same as yours but from what I can see in the system log, most appear to look for vulnerabilies by trying to access places like '/admin' or '/passwd'.
Thankfully a RewriteRule in .htaccess catches most of these although I can't help think if there's anything else I missed, security related. :\
If I could turn back time? When my wife and I first found out about bitcoin, a single full BTC was about $20 (Australian) when the official GUI came out for it. That was 2013 or 2014. I don't remember exactly.
Thankfully around that time we did manage to get 0.001BTC from some really generous person who was giving everyone a taste of what crypto is all about, from a website called the Bitcoin Faucet.
That tiny bitcoin went from 35c back then to $66 today.
