<p>A while back, I was looking through my <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221118190214/https://github.com/arp242/goatcounter">GoatCounter</a> stats when I saw some visits in the past day from a new referer. Curious, I fired up Tor Browser (because who knows if new referers are just a sting operation to get my residential IP address, knowing my curiosity) and visited it... only to find it was a Christofascist trying to promote Let's Decentralize to his woman-hating friends. My first course of action to fuck him up a bit (which has worked for others) was to <a href="../september/gamutto.html">configure Caddy to forcibly redirect users coming from his site to a different webpage</a> in hopes of <a href="https://upload.letsdecentralize.org/misc/MisogynistsKeepMoving.png">signalling</a> that I don't appreciate the attention.</p>

<p>However, a week later, I checked back to see that he had replaced the link with a Wayback Machine archive of Let's Decentralize. Which I don't appreciate either for the same reason I don't keep that website in a Git repository like my other sites: if one of the darknet links turns into a child porn site in between my weekly checks, even if I remove it, the link will remain accessible because I can't retroactively edit the archive.</p>
<p>But I can <em>destroy</em> the archive.</p>

<p>I was planning on going the whole week on a single charge, but then I woke up the Tuesday after the device arrived, a whole week later, to find that NeoReader had somehow awoken itself during the night and drained the last 30% remaining. (<a href="../../../img/hidden/ItHurts.png" title="the Zippo leaks were a lie and I'm Big Mad about it">A bad omen, maybe...?</a>)</p>
<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220913205551/https://github.com/termux/termux-app">Termux</a> is an enhanced terminal app for Android. Unlike others, it features what effectively amounts to a Linux chroot inside. With the use of plugins, unlike a normal chroot, it can also access the rest of the device's file system and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220913205616/https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux.api/">Android-specific APIs</a>.</p>
<p>Termux's default theme is too dark to display properly on the Note Air, so I had to install a plugin to be able to change the theme. Themes are changed by doing a tap-to-hold anywhere on the screen and pressing <code>More &gt; Style</code>. But when using my finger to tap, the "More" button goes away far too quickly for me to tap it again! The button stays around longer when using the stylus. Even after changing the theme to light, the text was still too low-contrast to be comfortably legible, so I had to use the "E-InkCenter" settings in the Note Air's notification area to forcibly "bleach" the terminal background and make the text bold and switch to the "A2" refresh mode to avoid large chunks of lag. Elinks refused to go into monochrome mode even when I toggled "document colors" to off, so I had to use Lynx as a terminal browser for testing instead.</p>

<p>Here I discovered that my Bluetooth keyboard has a strange quirk: when I swipe up from the bottom left side of the screen, the device opens the recent apps drawer as normal. But when I press the dedicated "recent apps" button on my keyboard, it goes to that menu for a split-second and then dumps me in the homescreen instead.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220913205644/https://github.com/ipfs/kubo">IPFS reference daemon</a> took a little under two minutes to compile. Unfortunately I was not able to test it much further because it refused to resolve any IPNS domains I threw at it. Still, only two minutes to compile means the device is <em>much</em> more powerful than my Galaxy Note 3, which takes about six minutes to compile the same code. (It probably doesn't help that the Note 3 is 32-bit <code>arm</code> and the Note Air is apparently 64-bit <code>aarch64</code>.)</p>
