Screenshot of an email, allegedly from Sendgrid

The first give away is the sender, sendgrid@autovitalsinc.com. Not Sengrid. Now, check the URL on the link provided to check the account activity:

I was curious, so I follow it on my dedicated VM for these kind of things. It took me to a page looking exactly like a Sendgrid login, with a sendgrid.net URL. Upon entering yourmotherisahamster@gmail.com, as username, and yourfathersmellsofelderberries as password, it sent me to https://screenprank.com/gandalf/.

It was well done. This morning the same link renders a blank page with a “Not found” link that takes you to a 404. Hmm…

Serious open (for anyone) question: what makes you follow someone on twtxt? Will you just follow anyone that you come across, simply because that someone using the “decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers” microblog?

Why so many Linux distributions come with Gnome as their default desktop environment? What makes Gnome so great? It has been a resource hog, in my experience.

This is pretty cool!. Hurrah, and props to the Germans!

“At a Berlin trade fair for sustainability, a new gadget caught Waltraud Berg’s eye — a solar panel small enough to be easily installed on the side of a balcony and then plugged into a wall socket to feed energy produced by the sun directly into her home.”

This is a test. I am mentioning @prologic@we.loveprivacy.club. I will then edit this same post (to correct a misspelling), and see what happens. I will copy this original block to refer to it on the follow up.

Something odd I have been noticing. Occasionally, when I come to twtxt.net on mobile, the keyboard comes up but there is nothing to type. There is some code left behind from the old onfocus that’s causing this, I gather.

Noticing that, after login in, I need to do a hard refresh on the browser to get my preference setting (dark mode to show). Not a show stopper, of course, but something to look at on idle time.

I noticed it almost after it was implemented, but never mention it, and I kind of feel guilty for not doing it. Yarn’s search became super helpful ever since commit 2199cedf12. Granted, it is not the full browsing experience I always dreamed for Yarn but, still, a huge leap forward.

While on mobile, navigating to Yarn.social automatically places me on the textarea, as if I was going to post something. Kind of annoying having that on-focus first and above all.

I just typed something that took me a while to enter, hit post, and lost everything because I was logged out. Can that be disabled? Let me be logged in for as long as I want (or for a very long time), unless I hit logout, or account for the previously entered text, and present it (or run the post action), after having to re-login?

Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.
