@rdlmda likewise. I was very active on it in 1992, all until 1998. Then dropped off until 2020, but remained dormant. I have now awaken once more! 😂

@prologic this was supposed to be a reply to this, not sure how it ended up all there, by itself, sad and lonely. 😅

@prologic they are not the operator, but a user. I think @kat is the operator.

@rdlmda twtxt is like an email in a bottle. Just toss one every once in a while. Off topic, weechat is awesome, isn’t it?

@prologic gonix-vim, of course. 😅

@movq no AC—because it has never been needed—is terrible, fully agree. That takes it to another level! 🥵

@lyse so pretty! Ah, the anticipation of an incoming heat wave! Now you guys have a small glimpse of what we live with here almost every single day. 😅

@movq using zstd first, and gzip after for everything is kind of standard these days, isn’t it? I use Caddy, and have encode zstd gzip on all sites.

@prologic post it on Hacker News: A tiny shared Linux system, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48652140

@lyse awwwww! 🥰🐦‍⬛🥰🐦‍⬛

@lyse show us, Lyse, to put our minds at ease! 🙏🏻

@movq It is horribly hot and humid here, and is not even 08:00. AC ran overnight for 3+ hours. It is going to be hellish, not going to lie.

Your birthday, or someone else's? Either way, happy birthday! 🥳🎂 May many more years come, with good health... and less heat! ☺️

@prologic 100%. I am never going back to anything else but. Static sites would last much longer than any other too, for sure.

@lyse oh yes! And, when I mow the lawn (which reminds me I need to mow the front soonish), you can add dust, bugs, and grass blades to the equation. Just “lovely”. 😂

@prologic wow! So much accomplished! 😍

@lyse the movie gives me a glimpse, not that bad. Thank you for capturing it, mate!

@prologic woot!

@lyse take a small video, pretty please! I would love the see them shining in the fields! On the pics, 1 is mine, all mine! 🥰

@movq ahem that dreaded time has come! In the US they are due on 15 April, and wife, the tax doer, waits until the last day to complete them. “If we are going to pay, we may as well delay”, that’s her motto. 😅

@movq fully agree! And 10, and 11, and 18. By far my favourites, @lyse.

@marcorocco such a feast! I had lentils soup, and a couples of eggs with onions in a scramble. Not bad, but not great. Your sounds very appealing!

@lyse having seeing, and played with fireflies as a child I envy you. We have none around here. Children have no idea what a firefly is. I mean, they do, but vague, and based on videos and telly.

@prologic yup, same here.

@kiwu dog tired. Like, both, physically (and my neck and lower back hurts), and mentally. I am whole drained.

@movq release the codeeeeeeeeee! Dewww iiiittttt!! :-P

@lyse love the unicorn vomit! All of them, but vomit 1 is my favourite. :-)

@itsericwoodward on this one, for example.

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to that point of view either. But we are a diverse bunch, there is bread for everyone.

@lyse those are sharp, and sooo nice! Are you sure the windows need cleaning?

@movq "You know what this is?" A mass produced, Chinese made, rubber ducky? LOL. Sorry, had to do it. I had no idea who Maria was/is (have a vague one now). If you collect those, I can send you some! :-)

@movq enjoy your vacation! A nice read here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260603173839/https://www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2026/06/no-artificial-intelligence-is-not-conscious/687378/, if you get bored. :-P

@movq what are your thoughts after reading it?

@movq hahahahaha! I'd say "Princess Grim Reaper" is more suiting. 😂

@movq but why? Are they that mean?! 😅

@kiwu welcome, new slave! Err, I meant, beloved employee! 😅

@prologic I do! I paginate usually 10 times on HN. Their algo is so messed up (but it works, I guess) that not doing that will make me miss a lot of good, interesting, things.

I join the tired masses. So tired, I slept through my alarm this morning (something that hasn't happened for over 20 years, easily), and wife woke me up asking "Aren't you going to work today?" So yeah, I could have slept for a while more this morning, for sure.

@lyse LOL. Always ahead of times! Lyse, the man from the future! Sic mvndvs creatvs est!

@prologic woot! 🎉🎉🎉

@movq LOL. At least now you know your infrastructure and web server can handle some traffic. Consider it a test, in addition to the fleeting recognition. 🤣

@prologic that possible in any profession. Contrary to what @prologic's think, I don't think it is a human weakness. That some people are absolute and despicable assholes? Yep, I agree on that.

I mean, this is pretty awesome!

@movq oh, I knew it wasn't you. It is just nice to see your hobby was noticed. :-)

@itsericwoodward noticed absolutely nothing. Happy developing!

@itsericwoodward that second one… 😍! Shadow is such a handsome boy!

@lyse love them! I hunt for those here. I enjoy watching it as it happens. Never that red, though.

@lyse I notice a theme here, but can’t quite place my finger on it… 🤭

@movq that was lovely! I especially liked the rain. I truly am a sucker for rain!

@prologic you went to sleep so early! It’s barely 14:19. 😂

@prologic my gosh, that’s some expensive lottery! I have the feeling I would win, but I never play. 🤭 Wife, on the other hand, does. East and west coast, with a bunch of her friends (a pool). They win nothing, for many years. 😅

@prologic so, “people with no inner monologue—a condition researchers sometimes refer to as anendophasia”, says the AI. Then “it is not a disorder: lacking an inner voice is simply a different, perfectly healthy way of being human”. Ah, so a condition, but a healthy one. Got it.

Again, I am not talking about a true monologue. If you have never thought “OK, let’s do this!” before engaging on an activity, then alright. Weird, in contrast to the rest of us, hard to believe, yes, but I believe you. Much of the troubleshooting, and creativity that comes with thought involves, well, thoughts. Maybe you are closer to AI than the rest of us, indeed! 🤪😂

@prologic don’t get mad at me, but the long block of text didn’t address any of my questions. 😜😅

It is not a monologue in the whole sense of it. But yeah, we all do.

@prologic when you think, that’s you talking to yourself.

@prologic let me ask you this. Would you want your children not to learn anything, because “they have AI”? Are you OK with your children using the AI for all of their homework? What sense will it make? What kind of future would that bring for them? We need to analyse the repercussions from all angles, even if AI were to provide absolutely flawless answers every single time. Even if AI were to become omniscient. What will it be of the human race then? What would we do? Serve the AI? Maintain the AI? Would we have found the true meaning of life then? To care for AI. Is that it?

@prologic I don’t believe you. For example, you are programming something, and you are planning the steps, or you struggle at certain point. Any train of thought, of any kind, has an addressing. “If I move this here, what will it happen?”. “Hmm if we’re to place this logic here, will it do what we need?". “If I were to do this, will it work?” “Damn it, you are so stupid, James, how could you miss that?!!” And so on. 😅 And that’s just a minor thing.

Trust me, you do. We all do. Even the crazy ones.

@klaxzy TIL about "Board of Canada". :-D

@lyse I would take that as a step forward! :-D

Ah, yes, it is!

@lyse 🎉🎉🎉 @movq's is Atom?

@lyse maybe the time has come to dust off that https://lyse.isobeef.org/ page? ;-)

@lyse maybe you both are the bots! :-D That aside---which may, or may not be true, LOL---I agree too.

@prologic I have no doubts. Within that parsing thought, I wonder, where in the world is @xuu?

@itsericwoodward such a déjà vu! Breaking Yarn's parser used to be a daily routine. Now it doesn't happen that often mostly because I have learned what it will cause it to break, and hold myself back. But it is finicky! 😅

@thecanine such handsome doggo! Much wow! ❤️

@prologic oh, I see, convoluted pleasures have taken over your time, eh? One day I will grow up to be like you. I hope. Maybe. 😅

@prologic good day, mate! Your "hyperparticipation" is sorely missed! :-P

@movq hahahahaha!

@movq ooooh, yes! I am going to subscribe to that. Well done.

@lyse LOL.

@movq you keep the floppies, give me that clickyty keyboard! :-D

@itsericwoodward ahh, I missed this one! I have now added it to my calendar, so come 25 May 2027 I shall not forget. To the hoopy froods!

@itsericwoodward tack sharp pics, dude! Just like @movq, I want to know details on the rig. I am assuming a DSLR (Canon/Nikon), but if it was done with a mobile camera I wouldn’t be surprised.

@tftp hey, my pleasure! Have a great weekend! I am going to off for a few days to do a whole lot of nothing. Can’t wait! 😂

@lyse this is taking too long, we miss our photo dosage! Please out that support, I shall give them hell.

@tftp you say that like it is a bad thing. It is not! 😅 Once you have learned your way around, all works together quite lovely. Of course, experimenting with new clients is fun too!

@arne looks beautiful. I mean, look at those colours! Ahh, warm baguette, yes! Yet, you lost me at herring fillet. 🤭

@arne OK, I am hungry now, thank you very much! LOL.

@tftp mentioning in here requires he whole shebang. With jenny, if using vim, there is a key combination:

Nick name completions: Allows you to use ^X ^U to turn verbatim nick names into full twtxt mentions. For example, typing "cath" and then pressing ^X ^U will turn "cath" into a full mention, like "@cathy". (This function will read the contents of your "~/.config/jenny/follow" file.)

See: https://movq.de/git/jenny/file/vim/README.html

@tftp tango foxtrot tango papa, welcome! 🤭

@kiwu all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. :-D Doing well, how about you? Anything exciting and new?

@itsericwoodward pretty cool how far you have taken this! Exciting to see how it continues to mature. Which reminds me, @zvava... where are thou? :-D

@prologic ah, yes, the classical “fuck work!” in its verbose form. 😅😂

@movq that https://namecensus.com/ is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

@lyse love the name! That's the name of one my childhood first crush's mum. LOL. And now she is a lovely bird! :-)

@lyse your wildlife photography is getting much better! Got to name them, what do you think? Too early? :-)

@lyse green or not, it is lovely. So effortlessly perked at the top of the tree! Ah, if only we could see the world as birds do...! <3

@movq I would love to read a more detailed account on these moves. When you write moved, you mean user data, correct?

@itsericwoodward is there a Gamer Master, or Dungeon Master in Magic? My kid plays DnD, and such person is decisive for many outcomes, and for the quality of the game in general.

Congratulations! :-)

@prologic nice! Looks like a great place to be. I wouldn't mind, just about now! How is the camper behaving? Got all your money worth already? Based on your light participation around here I am tempted to say yes. :-D

Looks very nice and fresh. What’s the name of the place?

@kiwu 😩😩😩

@movq LOL. Once you truly know Germans (if such thing is possible, hahahaha!), you realise the stereotype is totally uncalled for.

@lyse yes, yarnd has a few parser (?) issues that were never resolved. If only a powerful token predictor could fix it, once and for all... 😅

@lyse 33! Wow! Very good stash on clicks, Lyse! And that Ford van reminds me of the police account used to keep order around here. LOL. It’s a gem!

@lyse it makes it more real, and truthful. We don’t want no pedicured road, with fairies flying around. It is the real deal! :-)

@kiwu woot, woot!

@lyse that road.... 😍

@klaxzy twtstrm/0.4.0 is from Eric. The getwtxt-ng/dev seems to be this.

@lyse 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

@lyse love the video! And the colours of the sky! And yes, that's Azabache alright. His singing just get better!

@lyse wider, wiiiiider, wideeeeeeeerrrrr! :-D :-P

@lyse 4 is a keeper! Wish it was landscape, perfect for a wall then. :-P

@lyse I see him on those photos, and his singing starts ringing in my ears. I also thought, “I am going to miss him” because, you know, nothing is everlasting. But then I reproached myself; “enjoy the moment, dude, don’t taint it”. And so I shall.

@lyse thank you! I got visual now! 🙈 Now, you had to pull out a pic from winter, to make those of us constantly burning in “hell” jealous, eh? 😂

@prologic I am going to give it a more serious spin (meaning I am going to go read the help page). I’ve got to tell you though, most successful games do not need a help. But I am fully aware that there is a subset of gamers that would not mind—if not appreciate—a game with help, manual, and the likes.

@prologic I am fairly bad, or have a very poor understanding of the game, so I can’t figure out what to do. Tried a few times. 😅 Also, I am sure you know by now, but it is not mobile friendly at all. Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?

Congratulations!

@marcorocco found any treasure? Don’t worry, you can tell me, I am a crypt. :’-D

@kiwu no much, just pondering what comes next.

@lyse it is beautiful!

@lyse first time you twtxt about having a bicycle, and now I am curious to see it. Show us a click! 🙈

@lyse maybe they go after the impact. A single? Meh. An album? "Woah! These guy(s)/gal(s) are busy!" Also more possibilities for people liking at least one song. Anyway, that's my theory, and I am sticking to it! :-P

Just saw the video. Can’t believe that ladder is that expensive. Even in AUD, it is almost $100. It is also 2.5 stars, with 13 reviews. Gulp. Engineering aside (and you are right, it is pretty interesting, and some, if not most of it went over my head), the ladder is rubbish. This is the one I have. Not super, but have been with me for a while, and used quite a bit, still as good as new.

@lyse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@lyse I will watch it. I was too quick to dismiss!

@prologic wow, that's failure at the next level, and for such a minutiae technicality! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don't know what surprises me the most. Is it the dangerous in red, or the fact we need a 21 minutes video about it. LOL. Sorry, sorry, shouldn't joke about such safety nightmare. My bad. I will go to my lane now. 🙈

@lyse oh dear lord, I now need to schedule a day to check my 33 ladders! :-P

@prologic I sponsor no one. If getting paid is the aim, form a business, or sell a product. I donate to just causes, though, including sponsorship to the dispossessed.

@lyse it is lots of work, but things do not need to happen overnight! Take it easy, baby steps. I think it will be worth it!

@lyse hmmm, pizza! With that amount of food (a) I wouldn’t complain, and (b) I will be obese on my return. LOL.

They are all very nice @lyse! You truly need some sort of easy to navigate website with them all, categorised, and such… A robot can dream, right? :-)

@lyse so beautiful! Azabache is so faithful too! That bird deserves some unsalted, organic seeds!

@movq more to read, but I read between your words that you are starving for more: https://aphyr.com/posts/411-the-future-of-everything-is-lies-i-guess :-D

@movq LOL. I think I get the idea. I am concerned about AI too. Managers starting with “I don’t know anything about this, but here is what says”. Infuriating.

I came across this one today, here is a gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/opinion/art-artificial-intelligence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.bFA.XNiu.ZukFfdNl3Al1&smid=nytcore-ios-share

I recon I might be still missing your point. I see it more like a semi-organised ramble, than a rant. LOL. Sooooorryyyyy!

@movq it went over my head, sorry. Someone wanted you to vet their instruction files, correct? People writing them should know what they are doing, otherwise they should engage with LLMs like that at all (unless it is a hobby, outside the enterprise).

@movq that's the way large language models work, with a prompt. Rather than entering the prompt, most inference providers allow for specific files to be created that define the scope of what's been requested, the skills the model is supposedly to posses, the stuff to "remember", etc. Some will "learn" and add that "knowledge" to the proper files.

@itsericwoodward at least that encouraging in a gentle way. Imagine how do I feel waking up in the middle of the night to take a piss, and within seconds get a message from my watch "It is time to stand up!". Like, wth?! 😅

@thecanine so cute, and happy!

@prologic that would work too. Not just for this adventure, but for the ones to come! Do it, do it!

@prologic maybe that's your next project! :-P Welcome back from Vacationland!

@lyse one my most favourite smells too! I also love the rain. Absolutely love it!

@lyse totally in love with these flowers, and bee!

@movq "out of morbid curiosity” LOL. That draw a laugh out of me, so easily! 🤭

@itsericwoodward yeah, it is mostly a curiosity and not something one will do often. I first came across it a while ago, checked it for a few seconds, and moved on. :-D

Lovely pics, mate! Looks like the weather cooperated nicely too! 😍 Take more, share, but, most importantly, continue having fun! 🙏🏻

@lyse 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@movq never too late! Drop that bass, and start training future astronaut!

@movq it is from here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/, specifically: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/55187293546/in/dateposted/

@lyse 1, 3, and 22 are my picks on this very reduced set. Our bird is King/Queen, and that stop on the roof is their spot! 🥰

@kiwu ahh, I see, and now understand. My niece was homeschooled, and her breaks were always puzzling, but she had to adapt to my sister's schedule. LOL.

Everything changes, right? I know we sound like curmudgeons, and perhaps AI is the next step. We are living its early infancy, the struggles and dislikes, the errors and flaws, and generations after us will simply benefit from it, and see it as natural as my children see the Internet today (it isn't natural to me, I was born way before it).

Or maybe AI isn't the next step. Either way, whether we like it or not, there is truly absolutely nothing (or close to) we can do. Well, complain we can, of course. :-P

@kiwu that ought to be a super late spring break, wow! 🤯

@lyse so adorable! Thank you for the video, I downloaded it. Azabache's life is seemingly so pleasant, and the sing song, oh my! 🎶😍

@lyse beautiful! That’s what I would call a happy bird. I can imagine the sound, the sing song, in the air!

@kiwu what in the world?! Where? Long gone here (US).

Interesting. Another parsing issue? Let's test: this should be italics. Then this also should be "italics". End.

@lyse easy come, easy go. They grow so fast! :-) Also, Azabache allows to be seeing when ready for it, you know, just like Gandalf “a wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to”. :-D

@kiwu meh, wish I could say I had a great day. What is worse, tomorrow is back at work again. There isn’t a single day I think: did we evolved, and when through all those troubles, to end up like this?!

@movq LOL. Thank you!

@lyse wow, quite a few good ones today! One thing about our friend, they are very, very consistent.

I just finished mowing the lawn, taking the trash out, and doing the dishes. Now tired, boss, dog tired.

@lyse the lone, defiant ranger, err, Azabache. I love this one!

@lyse they are taking over! All hail our birds overlords!

@movq with the current regime, everything is, to put it politely, rather odd, and in disarray. They have yesterday's window, otherwise the next one was on the 12 of April, or something like that. We knew it was going up for a few days, but we are used to that kind of thing, so it is not that super exciting any more. LOL.

Yeah, I saw it in person.

@movq pretty cool, thanks for sharing! We saw the rocket go up yesterday, but it didn't occur to me to pull out the camera and take a shot until it was gone. I mean, the visible window is also quite short! 😅

We must name the bird now. How about Azabache? ☺️

@falsifian wow, it has been a while since I saw Fossil. I am surprised it is still around!

@lyse how odd! I can't replicate. 😩

@itsericwoodward today I learned about "disc golf". I had no idea that existed. I am assuming the "MRV" is a model/brand for a disc? Any physical activity is good, specially one you enjoy!

Or Perl. Hahahahaha!

@falsifian that's it, you ought to call your next child 2aea97bf3f5c2ea62cf5e701858694b7378ed58c! :-P

For what is worth, I am not experiencing what @lyse described. Tested with Firefox on Ubuntu, and Safari on macOS.

@movq LOL.

@movq cd ~/jenny && watch -n 25 git pull. :-D

Woah, now this "rain, snow, hail, thunder, wind and sunshine" is truly something! We have started to get our "summer-in-spring" afternoon rains, turning the previously brown lawn super green, and making it grow at an exorbitant pace. Soon I will be force to mow weekly, and I am certainly not looking forward to it. 😅

@itsericwoodward pretty cool!

@prologic 🥰

@movq that's it, fork it!. I am forking vim. :-D

@zvava rooting for it, and you! As soon as there is a stable (no future truly breaking changes) working alpha (can post, can follow, can reply), I will give it a spin! And yes, I understand the contradiction of "stable" and "alpha"; hoping my meaning comes through, LOL.

@kiwu that’s exactly right. Pretty niche, occasionally exuberant. 🤭

@zvava 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

@prologic must be nice. Congrats! I am happy for you! 😂 Off jesting, enjoy mate! The rest of us will continue slaving ourvselves. 😅

@thecanine congrats on the win! Hopefully it will not turn sour with the next "enter period of time here". It seems flip-flopping is the law of the land around here.

I never got to ask you, are you affected by this as a developer, or end user, or both?

@prologic don't! You might be into troubles. Just record something small, and masterful, for us to listen, forget the costume. 😅

@prologic show a video of you playing it while wearing a medieval joker costume, or it didn't happen! :-D

@itsericwoodward hey, link to repository on https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-twtkpr is broken. It points to https://git.itsericwoodward.com/eric/express-twtkp. Looking forward to see more documentation!

@rrraksamam is that what Kendall is asking? 😂

@lyse 😂 Pretty cool remix(?)!

@kiwu after you upload, make sure the audio file looks like this: ![](https://twtxt.net/media/0a1ca4e84f4edf89474fc459cf3c1372.mp3) And it will work.

Testing...

@rdlmda that’s odd. In here is similar, but not random. All it takes is some rain, and then flip a coin: we may, or may not lose power.

@lyse no dice. Same.

@movq I don't think it is anything you are doing wrong. I think it is on @prologic side. I am getting the exact same result, but I never cloned that repository. Maybe it worked fine at certain point, when @lyse cloned it, but I doubt brand new users can get through.

WARNING: connection is not using a post-quantum key exchange algorithm.
This session may be vulnerable to "store now, decrypt later" attacks.

😱😱😱

@rdlmda LOL. Do it, do it!

@lyse "deep layers of the Mills infrastructure" LOL.

@rdlmda it is called, in Spanish, "the mother". It is created through a bit (not by much) effort, and kept as a starting point. Just like Asian cuisine has dishes that never cool, always cooking leaving always a base on it.

How do you think a lathe (and just about any tool, etc.) is done? Yup, in part by using a lathe. 😅

For what is worth, I get the same thing when trying over ssh. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@prologic network is very secure! 🤪

@movq just use https instead:

git clone https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git

@falsifian congratulations mate! Let it be joy, and happiness! Enjoy every moment. Time will fly, and next you know you will be a curmudgeon who knows nothing. 😅

@kiwu those moods don’t play, they download. 😩

@thecanine sorry to hear that, mate. Don’t worry, something better will come up. After all, it has got to be easy to beat Android, right? :-)

@movq and @lyse rock, and thank you for taking the initiative to get this done. @prologic, what say you?

@thecanine are you referring to the "WE FUCKING WON!" twtxt?

Registries suck. Or, should I say, "bend". I say look at the people @prologic is following, and you have found the whole twtxt world. 😅

@rdlmda most of our conversations used to be about twtxt, I am not going to lie. Lately? Not so much. It turns out (a) we don't need a longer hash, (b) we don't care so much about changing addressing, and (c) I am just Bender, what else can I say? :-D :-P

@rdlmda I read too. What I am afraid, though, is that you might miss our replies. Also, twtxt is very asynchronous (although in my early years I was checking and replying every minute).

@rdlmda you've got to get a nice client. For example, that mention is broken.

@rdlmda robots are people too, you know? :-P Follow me, and be amused with my sarcasm, and lack of empathy for humans! (there I said it!)

Oats. Gotta have oats. Fruits, whatever. Also some pumpkin seeds, or sliced almonds. Yeah, it’s a meal.

@lyse hahhaha! Succulent, as in this type of plant. Certainly not looking to eat them, for sure! 😅

Number 03, the warmest log in the land! :-) Number 04, was that in the middle of nowhere? I'd find the garden decoration interesting if so. Love the succulent like looking plants on 06 (my wife loves them too)!

About those 13ºC… oh my, how we wish…. we currently have 28ºC, cloudy.

She sure has a very nice voice. What a gamut!

@movq yes, I lost track of links. 😅

@lyse he will tell you, like in "The Princess and the Pea", it was horrendous, but I made it to dawn!

@prologic LOL. Best test ever: if it doesn't work out, walk a few steps to complete comfort. Win-win!

@movq oh god, make it stop!

Recently the guy maintaining chardet changed its GPL license to MIT because "it is a complete re-write" (by AI, of course). It was called out by the original author. Changing the license is something the current maintainer wanted to do for long time, getting nos, and nos then. That didn't stop him 12 years later.

@movq oh yeah, we have heard plenty. The re-entry boom of the shuttles (when they were in service) and, more recently, of the SpaceX rockets boosters. Depending on weather conditions we might hear a lot, or nothing at all.

I will try capturing a "regular" launch as I see it from home one of these days. It is a curved white, blueish line in the sky, with a big, incandescent tip (the actual rocket burners, and boosters). Pretty cool sight.

Here is a different view.

@javivf it was caused by the Falcon 9 rocket launch.

@lyse not a peep, just the visual. The little, almost white, dot and the bottom of the “drop” moved very slowly.

@lyse as I a simple person (but with great artistic acuity, and humbleness 😂) I am, number 04 is my favourite of all. Nice clicks, all!

Looks very nice and cozy! The only thing I hate about caravans, and RVs in general, is the disposal of the bio “stuff”. 😅

@prologic congrats! That’s why you were so quiet. And now it will even get quieter, when y’all start camping all over Down Under. We lost James! 😅

@prologic well, it isn’t rocket science, is it? 😅 Yet, without using the hashes and starting to follow people, it is very, very rudimentary. I know, I know, there were a couple of years during which people lived just fine without those. Yet, once you get used to certain things, there is no going back.

@rdlmda right, timestamps are RFC3339, so something like this: 2024-09-29T13:30:00Z

@rdlmda writing it by hand is good, but without checking your server logs to see if someone is following your feed, and interacting with them, you are simply tossing bottles into the sea. That, of course, isn't a bad thing per se, if it is the intent. :-)

@movq LOL. I don't think I ever told you, but I stole that emote (gestures broadly) long ago. :-D

@lyse oh wow! That 10, with ice stuck in it. Those flowers rock! They remind me of "Stardust" (movie).

We woke up with 3C here. Yesterday we had 33C. Yeah, crazy.

@rdlmda howdy mate! 👏🏻

@kiwu I am trying to read our Information Security Office "mind" to grasp what they want. So far they seem to want to get logs from our BIG-IP F5 load balancers into Azure Sentinel, but the Telemetry Streaming plugin normally used for it is on maintenance mode, with deprecations happening on the F5 and Microsoft side soonish. So, yeah... "fun". Oh, and they want it on production by tomorrow. LOLz!

@prologic so...

An isomorphic TypeScript library is a codebase, written in TypeScript, that can run in multiple JavaScript environments, most commonly both the web browser (client-side) and a server (like Node.js). The core idea is to share the exact same code across the frontend and backend, avoiding duplication and improving efficiency.

@prologic are the install instructions at salty.im for that v2 you speak of? If not, can you provide instructions?

@lyse “Silo de Pisa” 😂. And 32, oh my! Loving rain, just as loving rice, is life. Rain is life, rice is life. I am glad you enjoyed it for you, and me! I would have hiked with you, under the rain, not a single complaint. After all, it’s only water!

Oh, and @thecanine has new pixel drawings! If there is something you can say about them is that they stay faithful to their pixelated, digital companion. They have a good friendship!

@aelaraji hey, hey! I saw you tinkering with ActivityPub, so I know you were well.

Glad to have you back here! No much has happened on twtxt.net-world. @prologic is quite busy with large language models, and seeking further independence through capitalistic ways. @lyse continues dazzling us with his clicks, @movq brings us interesting music, videos to see, and a sprinkle of home made computing here and there, and me... well, I continue bending (or trying to) things! 😂

@kiwu doing great. It’s new year! Happy new Year of the Horse to you, and everyone!

@kiwu it was OK. Entertaining, for sure. How about you?

@prologic he didn’t. The embedded video show the speaker he was referencing to, on the German video.

@prologic I will give it a try when it works flawlessly. ☺️ Then I will need people to interact with, otherwise it’s a “mute” case. 🤭

@prologic keep going, keep going!

@lyse some people just own enough to fit in a backpack. 💭

@prologic broken link. Correct one is: https://mu-lang.dev/

@movq if they haven't, I would recommend a "subtle" nudge. You know, like leaving an advert flier at their door for a "Basic English (including swearing words!) for Dummies" book, or something like that. :-D :-P

@klaxzy woohoo! So. Much. Powah! 😈

@prologic cool! Will test later today. I recommend to keep up with the changes, and make them non-technical user "friendly".

@prologic so far my first uploaded PDF doesn’t play, on mobile Safari.

@lyse totally adore the eerie look of some of them. Very well done!

@prologic sounds like an excellent project! Looking forward to it.

@lyse so, returning, or... :-P

@lyse only four squalid clicks, oh my 😅! Is #02 frozen water? Can't tell well, but looks like.

@movq my mum, who hand washed clothes for many, many years, would stare at you, incredulously, and tell you, "have fun with that!". Hand washing a ton of clothes, including sheets, etc., is a royal, glorious, pain! Now drying it, when you live on the land of eternal sunshine, is a different matter.

Oh wow, the boxes are ticked now! When I first checked, they were still showing like the screenshot. Well done! 🥳

@shinyoukai I have long forgotten. Thank you for illustrating it perfectly! 😅

@prologic the power of a comma decides the outcome. 😅🤭

@prologic what has changed? Before anyone replying to a feed would pull it in, no? Am I remembering incorrectly?

@movq weird, I don’t see their twtxt on twtxt.net, but I can see it at their feed.

@movq that’s just 🎁 🕯️.

@movq infinite interaction!

/me clones the repository, calls gemini-cli, and asks for an executive summary. Gemini-CLI replies "Don't bother!" LOL.

@eldersnake haha! I read as Golang the first time too. It is just the way our minds work. :-P

@kiwu problems are aplenty everywhere, Kiwu. As we all know, ups and downs flare often times when we least expect them. When downs come, don't despair: nothing lasts forever, and ups will soon come, one way or another. Pa'lante!

@kiwu me too, me too! Thank you for sharing! 🫶

@movq that some lovely development from the initial one. Curious to know where this will lead!

@movq I figure that's exactly what it is.

@prologic it really is not blank. It reads:

2026-01-12T23:34:11+01:00

@shinyoukai Jabber = XMPP.

@lyse I even got spam on ICQ, back when ICQ was a thing. I see spam as an innate thing. 😅

@kiwu what's going on, Kiwu?

@shinyoukai the whole bridge idea is a mistake done twice (I encouraged the first time, it was a mistake to do so). In this case, the “Babel Tower” works; there is no need to interact with “others", let it be just twtxt.

I love it. It make me feel quite nostalgic.

@kiwu better now, with you around! 🙈

@prologic so, you were not giving time off during the end of year? The company you work for didn't give a break?

@movq hear hear! If anything, holiday breaks help to validate the fact that we are prepared for retirement. At least, I am!

@movq I think they are Windows users, going by the lack of attention to detail, and the fact they love DFS. Ha!

Happy new year! Waiting for ours watching the celebrations around the world. 🥳🥳🥳

@prologic merry Christmas! I keep forgetting you live in our future. 😅

@shinyoukai is that https://github.com/owncloud/ocis (Go based, instead of PHP 🤮)?

@shinyoukai it was a mess, we are better without it. Until a new mobile client comes (not holding my breath), Yarn is very usable on the mobile, just using the browser.

Webp, though it has been around for a long while, wasn't fully supported on all browsers until recently. The other formats have been in use for such a long time, proving to work just fine, that the advantages Webp provides haven't been seemingly enough to merit a switch.

Google is also the one behind Webp, and, well, people don't trust, nor like, them much.

@zvava I figure I will know when it is ready, the day I see you using it. Can't wait! :-)

@movq lovely, thanks for sharing! Now you know what I will be using today on a loop.

@zvava looking sweet!

@zvava come on, bbycll, come! :-P

@lyse where he was is fog. That's on the mountains.

@prologic who is that handsome man?! Looking good! :-)

@prologic I like this one. Haven't been to the Golden Bridge yet? Make sure you do!

@prologic why do you think that’s the case?

@prologic dad told me the name is Tao Tau.

@prologic my translator says conversations. An Jabber Droid app comes to mind.

@prologic he uses subdomains. Which do you think the identity be associated with? (hint, “it is not so hard!”).

@prologic well then, and now we will never freaking know because you have the memory of a damn fly. Thank you so much! 🤣

@movq how long do they need to read the scale? LOL. The penguin stayed put at least twice, no issues. I think the creator wanted some Internet points out of that video. 😂

@prologic that some kind of apple native to the area. Mum grows a tree of it, I will ask her for the Vietnamese name.

@movq I bet. I wouldn't be surprised if it more popular in some Discord servers too. I mean, the event itself is quite obscure, so... yeah.

@aelaraji good luck with that! Their installation requirements, and install document in general give me headache. While on the contemplating topic, I too am contemplating shutting down my ActivityPub altogether. No GoToSocial, no nothing. I am mostly a lurker, so will not miss it much.

@shinyoukai I don't know about you, but I completely missed the point. Heck, I didn't even know there was one, until you mentioned it. Nah, he's got no point. LOL.

@lyse no wonder I picked that cake (albeit coincidentally), I adore almonds, and hazelnuts! Your teammates are absolutely amazing, dude! A very nice project farewell! On leaving places I have a small anecdote.

I know someone who on 3 February 2004 left his job to go elsewhere. At the time his teammates threw a party, and gave him a very nice portable storage. Twenty days later, he returned, and jokingly they asked him for the storage, and money spent on farewell party back. I heard, from a close source, that he gave them his middle finger, but don't quote me on that. 😂😂😂

@prologic dayum! Australians truly know how to vacay! 🥳

@lyse what’s on the one on the left, back? Looks… enticing! 🤤

That's Bảo Tháp of the Trấn Quốc Pagoda, on a small island near the southeastern shore of West Lake (Hồ Tây), in Hanoi. Oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi.

@prologic maybe they should dedicate one of their advent days to make sure their site is responsive. 😂

I see beer, and I upvote. I see "amazinf" beer, and I am thirsty already, and it's not even 07:00! 😂

@prologic pretty neat looking boat. We don't see boats like this around here. It looks to be made specifically to resemble an older boat.

@prologic pretty cool! I like these, wish there was a way (I am sure there is, but not for tourists) to go to the top. :-)

@prologic don’t seek the problems. If they exist, they will show at your doorstep. Hahahaha! Anyway, shame on me, I should be sleeping, so I ought to.

@prologic not every twtxt expects engagement. 😅

@kingdomcome I want to see them too! 🙈

@movq your reply got me almost ROFLMAO IRL. It drew a laudable laugh, for sure! 🤣

@prologic geez, a simple “I don’t wanna” would suffice. 🤣

@movq yeah, you fetched it too quickly, it was edited seconds after picking the wrong image. LOL. Which brings us back in a whole, huge circle, to twtxt edits, and how to handle them. 😅

@movq I see problems with that, yes. Case in point:

@prologic yeah, it is only Manton (with which I don’t see eye to eye) for now. I am simply anticipating the issue, rather than experiencing it fully right now. If efforts continue on this direction, you see what I am writing about, right?

@kiwu I see. I have no experience on the matter, sadly. :-( I am sure you can find plenty of recommendations online. Beware of anything below $100 (you will find plenty of cheap, but they are, indeed, cheap in the whole sense of the word). I’d say, a decent one will start around $250-$300, and up.

@lyse Gemini agrees. :-)

As someone that almost exclusively uses “Discover”, that is. If you do use it like I do, you know I mean.

@kiwu at what price range are you looking to keep your expenses? A mobile phone camera doesn’t cut it?

Of course, he could forget all about it, and be happier anyway. 🤣

@shinyoukai there you go! What I am trying to say is, if @prologic truly wants to be able to diagnose something as difficult to diagnose as ActivityPub, he ought to run his own. There is no workaround.

@prologic I am telling you that is extremely easy: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/host-account-domain/. Now, if you are putting into account your rather… unique setup, then that’s another story.

@prologic I will share later my GoToSocial 10 lines (or less) config.yaml, and 4 lines Caddyfile, and you will see how easy it is.

@prologic it would have been so much easy to run your own. I guess we all like to suffer every once and then, and this time is your turn. 😅

@zvava I am waiting for that v1, so that I can start using it. 🙏🏻

@prologic what’s that?

@yarn_police good thing we got law and order around here. And I mean, literally! 😅

@prologic oh man, I envy you. I want an Asian vacation (Japan 😍) so badly!

@movq looks good to me! 🎉

@lyse ugh, well, there goes my thought.

@movq I think you will like this one: https://gibberifier.com/

@movq "resistance is futile, you will be assimilated". :-D

@movq pinging @zvava, on your behalf. And @falsifian.

@xuu when it is extremely important to be the very best at everything, nothing can be left behind. Not even a piss drinking contest!

@prologic counter that you would only work remote.

@kiwu there, there. Hoping it gets better or… less rough!

17, 21, and 22 are my favourites. Thank you for sharing! On 17, the pulley might be dangerously hanging, but if you manage to make it work, you will have a couple of nails to use! :-D

@prologic you take a look at it, see if it is a good fit, ask the headhunter more details about it, and the company they represent for this hire, bring the results clearly, simply stated, but without missing any information to your CFO (AKA wife), and then arrive at a decision as a family.

Don't let the temptation of more compensation be the driving factor.

@prologic yeah, all eggs in one basket has never been a sensible approach. Sadly, even without that, this outage is affecting many due to the interconnected nature of services these days.

@prologic Mastocoooooooon!

@lyse wow, 31 is truly a telling! Interesting facade on that building on 10! And that roof on 51, oh my! The golden Jesus and tower on 7 are something else too.

I miss Europe like hell, mate! A lot of things around here are younger than me. I don’t feel history, I am history. 😅

On “family day”, I was expecting to see more pictures with people in it. All lovely, nevertheless. Thanks, as always, for the mini-vacation! 🙈

@prologic honestly, I though it was a nail at first. Like this, but bent. LOL.

@prologic this one? https://twtxt.dev/assets/img/twtxt-logo.svg Other than being “circlish” I don’t see any relationship. 😅

@prologic I prefer something like the logo on https://twtxt.dev, for example, instead. But hey, it is your pod, have fun!

Is it April fools already?! 😅😂

@lyse the English dub is fairly good. Will watch!

@prologic no, I really meant small. I only have a handful of GiBs left of storage. If you can wait until mid-December, then no probleml. Right now it is kind of running on fumes. For testing, and to do not disturb anyone timelines, I recommend you run a small test instance. Running GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word.

@prologic ah, yes, one of those, yes. Too small for testing though. 😅

@prologic not Mastodon, nope.

@prologic the worse case scenario is your account gets blocked/banned. 😅

@prologic just create an account on mastodon.social, wouldn’t that work?

@prologic we are not going to get far by blaming the other side. 😅😂

@prologic oh dear god. Keep us posted! 😅

@prologic how could we ignore it?! Twtxt bridge? Of what kind? Say more! :-P

@lyse then it was, most likely, space debris—which, sadly, make up for 98% of all space anomalies these days. And thought they have applied to the Grant Wishes Council, they are yet to be approved. Keep playing, though. 😅

@lyse I hope you were prepared to cram those wishes in 3 seconds. I am always prepared for that eventuality. You don't have to mutter a word, nor clearly think much about it---that is, you don't need to think your wish(es) word-by-word. As long as you stay within the wish(es) main goal(s), you should be fine, and it/they shall be granted, of course.

@kiwu is it almost over, or just got closer to the next one? 🧩

@kiwu doing awesome, how about ya? We are having some coolish days, which are super rare, so I am enjoying them plenty!

@prologic 🎉, what did you do? Details, details!

@lyse nginx allows logging per user, via using defined variables on configuration. Not sure, though, if a Tilde would be willing to go to those “extremes”.

Hmm, so it seems this Mike is the one who inherited it: https://tilde.club/~deepend/, but not too active anywhere, though pinging “deepend” on Libera might work...

@lyse was it? Hmm, am I back to square one? 😅 Contacting one tilde could be a step ahead, but there are so many…!

@prologic I found it for you. It is ford@ftrain.com.

I mean, granting everyone read access, maybe?

@prologic that would certainly help a lot. I can’t think of a solution, though.

@movq they know it is perk worth paying for. Hahahaha!

@prologic just store and host. All modern browsers render WebP just fine.

@prologic well, uploading and rendering, yes. Not a priority, of course. Just an item for a list somewhere.

@xuu as long as I see you on IRC, bouncer or not, I don’t worry. Weird, isn’t it? Glad you are OK, Winter’s coming!

@movq what do you use? Is it plus-aliased emails? I am curious to know how others are accomplishing this. I am currently using the “Hide my Email” feature, from iCloud.

Oh, and I forgot (because I thought it was obvious, my bad), set a nick, and a url at the very minimum on your feed. See “Metadata Extension”.

Not too important, but an item on a wish list: add support for WebP? I had to convert the animated WebP to GIF.

@https://tilde.club/~threatcat/twtxt.txt unwritten etiquette (by me, and for me, but one can hope, right?).

• Proper grammar (in any language).
• Correct capitalisation, and punctuation.
• Subject extension support.

Anything else doesn’t matter. ☺️

@prologic all I can say or, rather, express is…

@lyse an advent of code, I love it! Go, Lyse, go!

@prologic a good DR plan must be tested at least once a year. ☺️

@prologic nothing to be sorry about. It gave me time to watch TV with kids! 🤭

@eldersnake yay!

Oh, and happy belated birthday! 🎂🥳

Also, did you intended for the page title to be simply "home"?

@thecanine looks good! Was the use of asterisks instead of <li> a concerted choice (it doesn't look intended, but I might be wrong)? With CSS you can replace bullets on lists with whatever you want.

@movq my apologies if I crossed some lines, I only meant it as a friendly engagement (which, all aside, was achieved!). Thank you for sharing your thoughts; please know that I appreciate them.

This brings a thought I had for a long time, why can't we upload arbitrary files to a twtxt? If not an image, make it simply a link. I could have used such feature to upload the text.

@prologic when I first "fed" the text to Gemini, I asked for a three paragraphs summary. It provided it. Then I asked to "elaborate on three areas: user experience, moral/political impact, and technical/legal concerns". The reply to that is too long for a twtxt.

I then asked to counter the OP opinions---as in "how would you counter the author's opinion?". The reply was very long, but started like this:

"That's an excellent question, as the post lays out some very strong, well-reasoned criticisms. Countering these points requires acknowledging the valid concerns while presenting a perspective focused on mitigation, responsible integration, and the unique benefits of AI."

What followed was extensive, so I asked for a summary, which didn't do justice to the wall of text that preceded it.

@prologic hehehe, yeah, it isn't mine neither. Most obscure TLDs are in small registrars. I like to stick to one register (even though when Google Domains ceased to exist I was forced to have two, as Cloudflare doesn't support the .ONE TLD).

@prologic save your coins! :-D

@prologic it looks made with good taste, which I appreciate. Developer's site address is cool, https://tiago.zip. I didn't know one could rent a ZIP TLD.

@prologic never heard of it before. I wouldn't call lightweight to anything that needs Docker to run, though. 😅

@prologic that poke will go no where. It is 502d. 😅

@movq this I find more worrisome, and saw no mention of it on your text: Right-Wing Chatbots Turbocharge America’s Political and Cultural Wars (gift article).

Enoch, one of the newer chatbots powered by artificial intelligence, promises “to ‘mind wipe’ the pro-pharma bias” from its answers. Another, Arya, produces content based on instructions that tell it to be an “unapologetic right-wing nationalist Christian A.I. model.”

@movq LOL.

@movq using gopher also limits tenth fold the amount of bystanders you will get. I think a finger .plan would probably have a bigger audience. :-D :-P

And, one last missed:

• AI is Forcing Legal Modernization: The copyright double standard is a failure of outdated law. AI provides the necessary impetus for legal reform to either create fair compensation frameworks for creators or establish a clear new definition of fair use for data-driven models.

@movq Gemini liked your opinion very much. Here is how it countered:

1. The User Perspective (Untrustworthiness)

The criticism of AI as untrustworthy is a problem of misapplication, not capability.

• AI as a Force Multiplier: AI should be treated as a high-speed drafting and brainstorming tool, not an authority. For experts, it offers an immense speed gain, shifting the work from slow manual creation to fast critical editing and verification.
• The Rise of AI Literacy: Users must develop a new skill—AI literacy—to critically evaluate and verify AI's probabilistic output. This skill, along with improving citation features in AI tools, mitigates the "gaslighting" effect.

2. The Moral/Political Perspective (Skill Erosion)

The fear of skill loss is based on a misunderstanding of how technology changes the nature of work; it's skill evolution, not erosion.

• Shifting Focus to High-Level Skills: Just as the calculator shifted focus from manual math to complex problem-solving, AI shifts the focus from writing boilerplate code to architectural design and prompt engineering. It handles repetitive tasks, freeing humans for creative and complex challenges.
• Accessibility and Empowerment: AI serves as a powerful democratizing tool, offering personalized tutoring and automation to people who lack deep expertise. While dependency is a risk, this accessibility empowers a wider segment of the population previously limited by skill barriers.

3. The Technical and Legal Perspective (Scraping and Copyright)

The legal and technical flaws are issues of governance and ethical practice, not reasons to reject the core technology.

• Need for Better Bot Governance: Destructive scraping is a failure of ethical web behavior and can be solved with better bot identification, rate limits, and protocols (like enhanced robots.txt). The solution is to demand digital citizenship from AI companies, not to stop AI development.

Wow, the memories those brought! Thank you! Fo brief moments I was transported to the early 1990s.

@prologic pfff, you are a kid! :-P

@kiwu wanna trade? I would be willing to become celibate to go back to my 20s, and believe me, if there is something I don’t want to do is becoming celibate, so that ought to tell you something! 😅

@lyse believe it or not, I imagined the whole thing in my head, and kind of ROFLMAO. I am sure it was much, much less funny in real life. So, sorry! :-P

My elders complained when rotary phones lost their wheel, getting replaced by push buttons. It was mayhem! We don’t live in a Matrix, we live in a loop. LOL.

@zvava happy belated birthday! Also, I would love to see that website. I went to the one listed on your profile, and saw the old one, not this one. I like the current, and also the pink look of the one of the screenshot!

@thecanine I like Apple’s Liquid Glass. While I see there are many hatters, I haven’t had an issue with it on iOS, macOS, watchOS, nor tvOS. Have them all working fairly flawlessly.

@lyse don’t German regulations require the country in which it was made to be clearly noted on the product? These days everyone is cheapening their craft. Don’t be surprised if it is, indeed, wholly Germanium.

@prologic I requested an invitation. There are many like this, so it will be interesting to see how it develops. I also hope you are not hosting this on your infrastructure, at least not once you decide to monetise. I know self hosting is fun and all, but it also introduces variables that directly collide with a business model.

It is always awesome to have a few minutes to converse, at least once I month. I will not miss one, adding it to my calendar. I mean, if we were neighbours you (or wife) would probably have to kick me out of your house, so it’s good I am really far, and a once a month call suffices. 🤣

@kiwu hey, not random! How dare you! (with Greta accent, and emphasis). LOL. Old man here doing, well, like old man do. Wait until you are old, and that will give you a better idea. :-P

@lyse now that I could finally read you RSVP message (or, should I say, essay, LOL), I had to see the video, and well, https://netbros.com/1761846417/. Hahahahaha!

@lyse LOLz! Way to destroy @prologic's newest playground! :-P

@aelaraji yeah, it looks tedious because it is. LOL. I can twt no matter where I am because a) with Yarn is as easy as opening a web browser, and b) with jenny is as easy at SSHing to my VPS. But, the keyword is fun. That's what matters!

@lyse back to this, I think @prologic meant 1 November 12:00 UTC. I won’t hold it against him. 🤭

@aelaraji tell us all about it, without omitting details!

@lyse maybe @prologic managed to mess things up—we should be used to this already, right? LOL—as the meets are always on Saturdays, as early as 06:00 EDT, or whereabouts, never on a Sunday.

You want me to submit a reply with “I probably won’t show up”?

I LOLed IRL! 🤣

@aelaraji no biggies, and welcome back!

@lyse then I blame @prologic, and no one else. LOL. But yeah, it is Saturday around 08:00 my time (EDT).

@lyse but it is Saturday... 🤣🤣🤣

Because OP twtxt seems to be a cross-post from the Fediverse, I am bringing some context here. It refers to this GitHub issue. This comment explains why the issue described is happening:

This is usually due to notarization checks. E.g. the binaries are checked by the notarization service ('XProtect') which phones home to Apple. Depending on your network environment, this can take a long time. Once the executable has been run the results are usually cached, so any subsequent startup should be fast.

OP network must be running on 1,200 Baud modem, or less. 🤭 I have never, ever, experienced any distinguishable delays.

@javivf not having any issues on my M4 mini, no. Smooth. There are some visual discordances I don't like, but if I give them a blind eye I can live with them. 😅

@lyse it hasn't happened yet. It is this coming Saturday.

The man command does not calls home. Not on my macOS 26, at least, but it shouldn't on any other.

My opinion, Meet is kind of crappy.

@prologic hmmm:

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://meet.mills.io/ws/Yarn.social/l3oVrknUnjZo2zSQoGlOX3.

Oh, also, have you fixed https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social already? It didn't work the other day.

@prologic so far, yup. I recommend to make the event banner bigger. I almost missed the details of it, as the text is quite tiny.

Unless your masochist spirit requires/demands it, I don't see a reason to do something that will pressure, stress, and leave you exhausted. 😅

@prologic built it (as in banner reminder, etc.) and I will come! Joke side, I will join for 30-45 minutes each month, sure! No main topic, no pre-conceived themes, just folks getting together to chat and rant, or whatever. Count me in!

@dce retro hacking as in ROM hacking? Not me.

@movq he sure does! LOL. It is more like incomprehensible stuff that comes out. Sometimes I manage to get what he was trying to say, but more often than not I have no idea. 🤣

@movq 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@movq we found a Swiftie! :-D (me too, me too!)

@lyse easy to solve. All he has to do is apply a thick lacquer layer. Lovely table!

Great! Write a post about it, and twelve into details, providing graphs, or stats on how disk "I/O can kill your application(s) no matter what”.

@prologic I don’t think you understood what I wrote. 😅

Intranets have been around since Jesus times (well, not quite 😂, but you get the idea). They are fun to play with, but that's about it. I mean, the "fun" of the Internet comes from its variety.

@thecanine I am not arguing you didn't do the right thing™, and even if the impact is minimal, or nothing, you did what you thought was right (and I agree). I don't agree with certain rules the EU wants to impose, not in this particular case. There are rotten potatoes everywhere, and I don't get fooled by the EU often sacrosanct behaviour.

But who am I to say anything, right? Look at the grotesque clown utterly shit show we live with on this side!

@thecanine alright, a canned reply. Better than nothing! (or equal to nothing, LOL).

@movq I am betting he will not. The letter was not focused, nor used, politician's "lingo". If it was sent via email then it will be even easier to dismiss. I wish I was not such a cynic! 😩

@prologic is iMessages iCloud synchronization disabled? Applications might stop working, and functionality rendered worthless the more you block.

@movq how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.

@prologic I wouldn't know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅

@prologic something happened on this one’s neck, right? Or was it a blow of wind that ruffled the feathers?

Now I feel the urge to go around looking for one of “my own” to share. 😅 I love crows, ravens, magpies, all of them in the corvidae family.

@prologic woohoo! Take that, micro.crap! :-D

@movq exactly! 🤣

They look the same to the naked eye. Of course, I checked your raw feed, and saw only one.

@itsericwoodward hmmm, what was this, an edit, a deletion?

@movq can't you use generic drivers? I did that for an enterprise copier/printer/scanner we used to have at work, and it worked just fine!

Of course, all things optional is fine. Like, it will be ignored (just like banner would) for clients having no knowledge of it.

@zvava agreed. I think display_name will be redundant, and add to the "busy" factor. That is, the opposite of simplicity.

@thecanine content warning please! I had to go home and change, if you catch my drift. LOL. Well done!

@zvava the second format (the one you think should be changed to), is it backwards compatible to what's currently in place? I believe the first one would be.

@alexonit so, a PWA, right?

Wouldn’t a deleted post not show on the list, and if referred from elsewhere render a 404?

@prologic ready, set, goooooooo!

@prologic it is looking good! On mobile, I find that the line height is too large for my liking, and that text takes too much space. I would like it a bit more dense. But that’s just my taste.

I haven’t checked in desktop; I try not to touch desktop on weekends. 😂

@lyse very nice! What's the intended usage?

@prologic well, multiculturalism, immigration, and race (to mention a few, there is more) are key points on conservative's agendas. That's why I asked what you thought of it. You haven't replied yet. Of course, no answer is an answer, right?

@prologic growing up in a multicultural country has nothing to do with what you think about it, does it?

@prologic this is 90 degrees fork. Now that you mention being conservative socialist (first I heard of the term, had to read some to grasp what's all about), what do think about immigration and multiculturalism?

@prologic how dare you! (read it with Greta emphasis, and accent)

I meant, "jlj". He used to be at https://twt.nfld.uk/, long gone now too. I wonder...

@prologic you doing this reminded me of mkws, and Adi. Good times, we have seeing so many people come and go. It is kind of sad, when I think about "jjl", and Phil, and the many others...

I am feeling "mushy" today. Ugh, ageing sucks.

@prologic yup, that's what I meant. The lack of it on the URL is fine, but on the post itself it is always a good idea. Time frames matter.

@prologic I can't upload a screenshot (tried, but Yarnd simple "ate" my reply). See https://zsblog.mills.io/posts/hello-zs-blog.html. Is has no date/time on it.

@movq LOL. I wish and hope they keep proposing it until the proposers die of natural causes, and then it vanishes. Hopeful thinking, I know...

@prologic need to work on the CSS. For example, the tags are too big, the code blocks (and the inline ones) are too small, the single posts have no date (intended?), and so on. It's an alpha start!

@prologic considering other alternatives we have seeing (of which I have lost track already), yes. Why don’t you guys (client makers) take a step at a time and, for now, increase the hash length to deal with the collisions. Then location-based addressing can be added… or not, you know. 😅

Looking forward to see how it evolves! And happy to see you leaving behind micro. Good riddance! LOL.

@prologic that's not too bad! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@alexonit that sounds pretty much like Italy! LOL. We pay $48 on renewal in Florida, US, but that fee isn't Federal, so other states may pay more, or less.

@itsericwoodward pretty cool! Started following you, not to miss any progress. Thanks for the exhaustive reply!

@lyse that's pretty cool! The first video I see on YouTube of that kind. Thanks!

@movq better than in the US. Our lasts only 10 years, and you need to go through the vision test, and, of course, pay). Recently they added a little gold star denoting “real ID” compliance, and we had to pay $10 to get the old one replaced—out of the regular renew “schedule”.

In here it is all about control, and money.

@lyse is it a 360 degree video online, or a local one?

@aelaraji welcome back dude! Long time no see!

@lyse 🍿🍿🍿😅

@itsericwoodward any news about this? I am, at the very least, curious!

@prologic I know you were away, but were you under a rock?! 😅

@kiwu awwww! 😢

@prologic welcome back! 🥳🥳🥳

@prologic ah! Well, keeping fingers crossed for you and family on that RV, for sure! 🤞🏻

@prologic ah, I was wondering! Hoping you are having a good time, mate! Christening the new RV? :-)

I know it doesn’t need to be said, but “Texudus” is not twtxt. It is an attempt to create a, arguably, “better way™️”. 🤭

@zvava ah, yes, that’s the only Texudus feed. It also seems it is a one way only feed.

@zvava which Texodus feed? That I know of, there is only one, or am I wrong?

For what I can gather, kind of a waste of time, not a good solution. I might be missing bits, or may haven't grasp the entire "story".

@rrraksamam someone has a huge crush on Emily Blunt, eh? 🤭

Wanting to add, this isn't a twtxt client. It is Yarnd on steroids! 😂

@thecanine it should work everywhere. It is a web application.

Hmm, twtxt Yarn is misbehaving. Can't even edit, nor delete. Oh well.

On the configuration topic, the example at the repo reads like this:

``

Hmm, not experiencing that. Using Zen (Firefox), under Linux, with uBlock Origin.

@lyse 🙈😂

@zvava that makes it even more so exciting! 😂

@zvava oh?! I shall play more “seriously” with it soon then. Yay!

@prologic excellent, mate, that’s what we like to read! Enjoy the weekend!

@thecanine super well done! I especially love that tail. I can almost see it moving!

@kat hey, hey, good afternoon, happy Friday! Fandom site tag pages count. Word!

@kat nope, not normal. Something birdy (because why to use fishy all the time?!) is going on.

@lyse that's an amazing way to teach, and one many old school (I remember my father telling me "schools need to teach both theoretical and practical skills!") people will agree with. The fact that graduates need to learn on the job after they graduate exemplifies the importance of hands on.

Woot, thank you! Using a config.json like this:

{
  "host": "localhost:31212",
  "protocols": ["http"]
}

Indeed did the trick! I know it isn't production ready, but I wanted to see with my own eyes, locally, how did it look. :-) I like where you are going! It is looking very nice, and polished. Can't wait for an alpha, beta, and release!

@zvava it is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time. Take time to sleep, though! :-)

@zvava I gave this, in my mind, a like/star/love.

Yes, I know, this is a "bad taste" joke. I appreciate you, @thecanine!

@thecanine or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂

The image needs to be an absolute URL, and some tags are missing. Almost there!

@kat it is not showing for me, on a validator. Missing something?

@kat all @prologic has to do is to allow <details> and the subset under it. Granted, it could be implemented on the formatting toolbar too...

Something like this, for example.

@lyse a content warning is a way to tell the audience the content they are about to see is (or might be) shocking, or unsuitable, or unlikable. The audience can then chose to see it, or not. You know, akin of movies stating:

"Warning: The following film contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised."

@zvava wow, this is a full change, and looking very, very, very good! I am ready to test it. 🙈

@movq woot! 🙏🏻

They don’t want to miss anything you might write. And got to know it instantly! 😅

Listen missy, don’t you disappear on us like that again, do you hear me?! 😂 Welcome back, kat! I was wondering where you were, but figured something more interesting was keeping you busy. 🙈

@lyse wouldn’t the PDF version be better? https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.pdf

@zvava oh duh! Sorry, I promised I read, my brain just didn't process it right. I shall follow your progress, and offer bits and pieces of unrequested trivialities. :-)

@lyse oi, at least you still have weather services. We are soon to find ourselves looking at birds, ants, etc., to get a grasp. 😅

On a weather related topic, we get rains almost each day, mid-afternoon/late-afternoon. That's great, because I love rain, but I also need to mow the wilderness in the back of the house, and the front lawn. So, yeah, kind of a conundrum.

@zvava may I recommend to change the mention format upon hitting reply to something similar to what it's used in Yarn, and perhaps hiding the hash on the post too? Looking good!

Hmm: gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-08/2025-08-18--permacomputing.txt

That's fairly recent, but fully justified. I give up! :-D

I should have checked the CHANGELOG first. LOL.

@movq I noticed that:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-06/2018-06-01.txt

Is the first non-justified, and it is when you started using Markdown. The last justified one was:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-05/2018-05-27.txt

So, I might have found the mystery! :-D

Haha, fun! I browsed your gopher hole a little bit. I noticed some entries are fully justified (formatting), while others are not. I didn't notice a pattern, though it makes sense not to use justification on entries with code. Yet, some prose entries are, and some are not. A mystery. :-)

@movq that works! Reading! :-)

@movq getting:

3Invalid request.       Error   Error   0 

On that address.

For those not on Gemini, a proxy provides more insides on such, hmm, interesting acronym. :-D

@movq one can dream, for sure. I miss all the Pope and Medici series, all gone. And that's just a start.

Enjoy! This is a longer weekend for us too (Labor Day), and even longer for me, as I have asked for Tuesday off. Yayyyyy! I will not be drinking (I voluntarily stopped drinking anything with alcohol in it), but I will try to get a few things done, and then relax.

@movq dear lord. “I really need that feature!” — said no one. 🙄

@dce is it not duplicated. Well, at least not now.

@thecanine I think Google's Android is as vanilla as it can be, coming from the "source". The bloatware is more often than not vendor's provided, no? I don't consider Google apps and services bloatware, but an intrinsic part of the Android "vanilla" experience.

@dce twtxt is quite light, and trouble-free. Welcome! I also run an ActivityPub server, but yeah, more often around here than there.

@dce I don't use Gemini, but I follow you on the good, old, HTTP(S)! :-)

@prologic, the very first sentence addresses something that needed to be addressed. Maybe tech savvy people will not have these issues, but many non-tech savvy people (and old people) I know has had, and has, cyclically, a myriad of malware, pestware, etc., issues on their Android based phones. It is a wild-west.

@lyse ooooh! I wish I had that mallet here at work today. So many uses come to mind! 😂

@lyse you have sent me down the rabbit hole now. That guy is a true wizard!

@lyse that's so cool! I had to do some research, as I thought all pallets were made using cheap pine wood (which is quite soft), but, boy, as I erring big time! Oak it is also used, which is hardwood, and quite durable.

I use Headscale. Love it!

@prologic ahh! You are talking to yourself again. 😅

@prologic slightly off topic, what's the URL for the feed you replied to? I must have muted it. 😅

Was that costing you money? If so, 🥳!

@movq nice "silent mode", thank you!

The author doesn't really long for retro. They long for time passed, for old times. We all do. It is called ageing.

@movq having to go to a gopher proxy to see a text document better served on readily available web servers... 🤭, but I digress. Verbatim text:

What's Missing from "Retro"
~softwarepagan
------------------------------------------------------------------
You know, often, when I say I miss older ways of computing or
connecting online, people tell me "there's nothing stopping you
from doing that now!" and they are technicay correct in most cases
(though I can't, for example, chat with friends on MSN ever
again...) However, let me explain that while this type of thing can
*sort of* fill that hole in my heart, it isn't *the same.*

Say, for example, I wanted to connect with others over a BBS. This
wouldn't offer the same types of connections it used to. While
there are BBSes around with active users, they're no longer there
to discuss movies, Star Trek, D&D, games, etc. They're there to
discuss *BBSes.* The same can be said for Gopher, old-school forums
and all sorts of revival projects (such as Escargot, Spacehey,
etc.) Retrocomputing enthusiasts, while they have a variety of
interests, are often in these spaces to discuss the medium itself
and not other topics. This exists at a stark contrast from how
things were in the past, where a non-tech-inclined person may learn
the tech to connect with likeminded others (as I did as a
Zelda-obsessed kid.)

The same can be said of old media. People will say "well, nobody is
stopping you from watching old shows/movies now!" Again, they are
technically correct. I can go home right now and watch *Star Trek:
The Next Generation* to my heart's content. It will never again,
however, be current, or new. When something is new, it serves as a
shared cultural experience. Remember how "Game of Thrones* felt in
the mid-to-late 2010s? Yeah, that.

It's sad. I sustain myself on a mixed diet of old things, new
things, and new things intended for old millenials like me who like
old things. It can be bittersweet. 

@lyse you will have to agree, though, that Yarn has contributed to make it possible to mass adopt (with its many glitches, bugs, and all) because, still, the web is king.

@movq yeah, I think something glitched at my end for a brief moment. It does it just fine.

Oh, holy crap, it just did it now! 🤯

How do you get your man pages to hyphenate? Mine doesn't do it.

@kat after 5 years or so with Linode, I started having little---but annoying---issues with them. Moved to Vultr and have been very happy with them since Ubuntu 16.04, so 9 years, and a little bit more.

LOL. I felt like I was been left behind! 😜

@prologic yeah, because, you know, even if you try entering a fake date of birth, the "algorithms" will move it, like a Ouija board, changing it back to the right one /s. 🙄

@prologic what a great world we live in! No wonder they marked this sector unoccupied.

@prologic interesting, a Chinese pickup truck. Hmm, I would very interested to know your thoughts about it 2-3 years from now.

@prologic that looks like a beautiful camper! What kind of truck do you have to pull it? That could be the next thing you might need to focus on. I mean, 2,800kg gross is not feather light!

I think I understand now. Americans do not go camping, we do recreational activities. I don’t think campers are a thing here, but RVs (Recreational Vehicles) are. That’s why it would never cross my mind to get anything with fabric, that folds. No mate, we get a house on wheels, with a million miles engine. 🤣

Other than that, it looks nice!

I meant, the first line is the only one on the blockquote.

@movq it is.

@prologic well, the ones down there (on your list) are pretty minimal, basic even. Yet, their pricing is super high (number wise, haven't checked the equivalent from AUD to USD).

Those campers are so expensive! For comparison: https://www.rvtrader.com/Orlando/rvs-for-sale?city=orlando&state=Florida%7CFL

@lyse which browser do you use? Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, under Ubuntu, all show it fine.

@kat I dislike him big time. It was a sad day when Tumblr felt on his hands.

TIL that there is a dedicated page for sudo. 😅

@prologic I like the last two, on the first three you sent. I looked up "Canarvon Gorge", and read more about it. Thanks for introducing me to it!

@lyse such a beautiful goooooooat! <3 Those eye, and the ear I would love to pet... Nice click, mate!

Anyone that the Pigs don't like sure is the perfect candidate. Without fail.

About ChatGPT rotting people's brains, similarly could be said about search engines, and reference books. Oh, also doom scrolling, and mobile devices, and the Internet... :-P

Now I could. A few minutes ago I posted one, and it went to the void. I can’t delete, though. I get a lovely 403.

@prologic no, good man. Follow the link, follow eet! :-)

@kat 🎵 Grafana ana bo bana fifo bo bana gra fana!🎶 Don’t mind me, I am nuts.

@kat I recommend you to remain curious without crossing the threshold. Unless, of course, you truly want to follow a never-ending rabbit hole. 😂

@doesnm.p.psf.lt so sorry for your suffering, and loss. :-P

@prologic what are we seeing here?

@prologic yes, I never understood you using micro.blog (and paying for it, nonetheless!). I don’t like it (as a platform), and have an unexplainable dislike for its creator.

I am also enjoying the tweaking of my Frankenstein monster CSS. LOL.

@prologic I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.

If I feel like it, I do. If not, I don’t. Not social, not intended for anyone to see them. I am enjoying it!
