In-reply-to » @bender Re that broken thread (#bqor23a). Its the same one. My pod doesn't have the Root Twt: https://twtxt.net/twt/bqor23a => 404 Not Found.

Oh, and I think I said this before, but just in case, fuck Gemini. Hell, fuck Gopher too. Bring on telnet, and UCCP. 😈

Either way, it is the last time I do something like this. It turns on my fastidiousness, and kind of makes me feel uneasy. Will pause a bit longer from now on.

In-reply-to » This is only first draft quality, but I made some notes on the #twtxt v2 proposal. http://a.9srv.net/b/2024-09-25

@anth@a.9srv.net you wrote:

“Edits and Deletions should go; see also Section 6. This is probably the worst example of this document pushing a text document to do more protocol-like things.”

Edit and deletions are precisely what brought us here. Currently, if one replies to a twtxt, and the original gets later edited, it breaks replies, and potentially drastically changes context.

In-reply-to » @bender I should put the template that is used by default as a file in the repo. Look at the source for now and you'll see 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com this is my change on main.go (but it can be done on a template now, so no reason to touch the code):

                                 <time class="dt-published" datetime="{{ $twt.Created | date "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00" }}">
                                        {{ $twt.Created | date "2006-01-02 15:04:05 MST" }}
                                  </time>

See https://ferengi.one. I am going to further customise things, but that’s a start.

This happened yesterday:

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:

https://u906946.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.eXk7eIEvNT22LuyWQ0fseoc5VY1jItvxPoavh2wfNVs292YMzvTAPj5D6nek1U6K7UfW_AsM5Hq3TBeAGlZrT-2F3g23iWCcJRPGZ-2B58DJxpgMgOTjgWklNQiAdGiHqmR6FFVhfWZJhnu1PSRslMuKGg1XNZs5e1lGu8kmdKhv7otlghl6qLMXiiXYZcvaUB5NruWwSBFcLdvi31NY-2Fru5oyrcrugm2iLYA0u5TiufyvA7SNTo3sDHx6WtS-2FmfEyN2svb9k1S4QGRFhuDseidMiFm0f9Q-3D-3D

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…

In-reply-to » @bender On twtxt, I follow all feeds that I can find (there are some exceptions, of course). There’s so little going on in general, it hardly matters. 😅

Oh, and about the “There’s so little going on in general, it hardly matters. 😅”, the issue I have with it is that it is mostly one-way junk. Why to bother following that which never engages, or spews seemingly non-sense into the air (or both!)? 😅

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?

In-reply-to » I figure most of you might have seeing this, but nevertheless: https://departuremono.com/ is awesome!

I understand now. I figured it would be something like this, because zooming in on pixelated fonts makes them “blocky”, and overall unreadable.

We sure have come a long way to make things better for people with far from perfect vision. It also makes me appreciate the vision I have.

Which font do you use at the Terminal?

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.

In-reply-to » @prologic, does this rings a bell to you? 159-196-9-199.9fc409.mel.nbn.aussiebb.net

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org right, now, on this:

“The right™ way is to signal 410 Gone if the feed does not exist anymore and will not come back to life again. But that’s hard to come by in the wild. Somebody has to manually configure that in almost all situations.”

Even so, what does Yarn do if a 410 is sent? I don’t think it does anything at the moment, but I could be wrong.

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.”

In-reply-to » Today is one of those days where I’m really grumpy and have typed out lots and lots of rants. Luckily, I all deleted them in the end instead of sending them. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I do that constantly, on the Fediverse. I often type long replies, disagreeing, or agreeing with someone, read it over and over, just to realise there isn’t anything to gain by it, and scrape it.

In-reply-to » @prologic “as a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber", from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit" since outlaws were "pursued men")”

Got to fix that broken parsing on URLs with parenthesis in it. This one, inexplicably, works.

In-reply-to » @eldersnake how many browsers are out there, that use a unique “engine”? There seems to be quite a few: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonofbrowser_engines. Sure, another one won’t hurt. Would I use it? Probably not. 😅

There is, also, a small controversy going around for something that should have been a small change, but that Kling (SerenityOS, and Ladybird creator) handled quite badly: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814.

Seemingly small things like this divide, and have the potential to harm a project.

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.

In-reply-to » @darren our summer is hot, and humid. Unless at the beach—in which case it is awesome—our summers are far from great. Oh, also the lawn grows like crazy because of the almost everyday showers, and the sun that comes after, so I have to work overtime mowing. 😩

@prologic@twtxt.net, found a markdown rendering bug. See parent, specifically awesome, which isn’t rendering right.

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.

In-reply-to » Just added support for deleting and editing arbitrary Twt(s) at anypoint in your timeline. Some things to note:

@prologic@twtxt.net what is the side effect of this for others not using Yarn? Right now conversations break upon editing, wouldn’t this potentially cause more havoc? Wouldn’t the specification need to be extended somehow to force a refresh of any edited twtxt?
