So the how-to I promised in my last post:

  1. Install the neonmodem package under your default WSL distro. I’m using Debian. You’ve got to move the executable to your /bin/ folder.
  2. Go to your Windows Terminal settings and click on ‘Add a new profile’. Duplicate your default profile.
  3. Rename the profile to ‘Neon Modem Overdrive’. You can download the favicon from https://neonmodem.com/favicon.png
  4. Under ‘Command line’ you want to change it to show as below. This will launch it within it’s own tab, and will close out when you quit NMO.
C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe ~ --shell-type login neonmodem
  1. Under ‘Additional settings’ at the bottom, click on ‘Appearance’.
  2. I’m using the ‘Vintage’ colour scheme, and have the ‘Retro terminal effects’ setting enabled for those crispy old scanline vibes.

Community Guidelines

QHDN is a queer leftist space for hobbyist hackers interested in programming, local system administration, and other related topics. It aims to be a friendly community and repository for learning and sharing how to run and maintain your own services, be it for smart home, data storage, media storage, or anything else.

We invite you to get silly with it, but first we need to get some important rules out of the way:

  • Absolutely no bigotry of any kind will be tolerated.
  • Please follow the rules of the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance. This includes not posting any content that might be considered illegal. Discussion of things like piracy is okay, but linking to resources is not. If in doubt, please message the moderators.
  • Whilst this space welcomes everyone, it is an inherently queer, leftist space and the safety of those members comes first. This also isn’t the space to have disagreements about those politics, but to discuss technological ways to ensure privacy and safety.
  • Don’t demean others for asking what you might consider basic questions. Everyone has to start somewhere, and this is a safe space for people of all experience levels. As well, plenty of people have expertise in one area over others.
  • Whilst this isn’t a NSFW community, discussion of NSFW topics related to the community, such as taking back control of your teledildonics, is allowed. But please make sure to tag them appropriately.
  • Most of all, be excellent to each other.
