I think Iām just about ready to go live with my new blog (migrated from MicroPub). I just finished migrating all of the content over, fixing up metadata, cleaning up, migrating media, optimizing media.
The new blog for prologic.blog soon to be powered by zs using the zs-blog-template is coming along very nicely š It was actually pretty easy to do the migration/conversation in the end. The results are not to shabby either.
Before:
After:
(#axfrhbq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I was gonna say š The problem isnāt that bad š¤£ But still we should fix this soonā¢ š
(#axfrhbq) @prologic@twtxt.net I checked a while a ago and there were, like, 3-5 collisions or something like that. Not that many. š¤· I have to specifically look for them ā I donāt notice it in normal operation.
(#axfrhbq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de You were seeing that mayn hash collisions for you to notice this? š±
The twtiverse appears to have shrunk. Among the 61 feeds that I follow, I donāt see any hash collisions anymore. š¤
(#cxz5b5a) @bender@twtxt.net Iāve made several improvements today, tightened up the line height and density of the text plus a few other nice things too! I think Iām ready to start migrating my blog over to this š
(#roziizq) @prologic@twtxt.net Ta! :-)
(#cxz5b5a)
(#cxz5b5a) @bender@twtxt.net I agree ! I reckon the line height could be a bit smaller š

Pretty happy with my zs-blog-template starter kit for creating and maintaining your own blog using zs š Demo of what the starter kit looks like here ā Basic features include:
As well as custom routes (redirects, rewrites, etc) to support canonical URLs or redirecting old URLs as well as new zs external command capability itself that now lets you do things like:
$ zs newpost
to help kick-start the creation of a new post with all the right āstuffāā¢ ready to go and then pop open your $EEDITOR š¤
(#yjyhbpa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Itās an ancient 1.22.4. :-)
(#qchnx6q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That looks like an older bug report. Which groff version is that (groff --version)?
(#yhoftja) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very cool! š
(#qchnx6q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I got an empty line through the table, similarly to one of the linked bug reports, just at a different location:
https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/screenshot-2025-09-27-13-56-13.png
(#yhoftja) @bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you! Not sure what I end up putting in there, but Iām sure I will find some tools to go in. :-)
Yes, this was a flat piece of sheet metal. It went together like a cardboard box, just much slower and with timbers clamped down to get a straight folding line. I donāt have a sheet metal brake, so I just carefully hammered the piece bit by bit. Like in this video by the Sheet Metal Dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYgEfWEMXk0
(#vv4diza) Speaking of groff: Iāve been following their mailing list for a while now and this G. Branden Robinson person invests an insane amount of energy into that project. š¤Æ
(#qchnx6q) Okay, now that I knew what to look for, I found existing bug reports:
Most importantly:
This is resolved in the groff trunk.
š„³
(#qchnx6q) @prologic@twtxt.net No, this is a Linux manpage from the man-pages project: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man/man7/ascii.7
I do have an idea whatās going on. Could be an unfortunate interaction between the table preprocessor tbl and the man macro package. š¤
(#qchnx6q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Is this for your own OS? š¤
Task for this weekend:
https://movq.de/v/b05a7ce782/vid-1758959332.mp4
When you call man ascii, you get this nice table, but thereās a weird vertical line at the bottom. That line is supposed to be a vertical rule and is supposed to go from the bottom of the table all the way to the top.
Letās see if I can debug this. (Not getting my hopes up at this point, but Iāll try.)

(#yhoftja) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Not bad. š¤ So this started out as a flat sheet and then you cut and folded it, like paper (more or less)?
For a very first attempt, Iām extremely happy how this tray turned out: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/blechschachtel/ The photos look rougher than in person. The 0.5mm aluminium sheet was 300x200mm to begin with. Now, the accidental outside dimensions are 210x110mm. It took me about an hour to make. Tomorrow, I gotta build a simple folder, so I donāt have to hammer it anymore, but can simply bend it a little at a time.

(#vxqtypq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de You didnāt miss anything. Just time for more useful stuff. ;-)
(#iwj2dna) @bender@twtxt.net Shh yes š¤£ this is the problem with politics š by that definition; Iām not conservative š¤£
(#iwj2dna) @bender@twtxt.net Yes but I guess what Iām saying is; āso what about it?ā Arenāt most places in the world these days āmulticulturalā to some degree or another? š¤
(#iwj2dna) @bender@twtxt.net Well see thatās just what the freakān tests say about me haha š¤£
immigration and multiculturalism
What about it? I grew up in a multicultural country.
(#xwh74aq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I give up. Just doesnāt give me a 360Ā° video. š„“ Maybe Iām just having bad luck with YouTubeās randomized stuff (maybe Iām getting āexperimentsā, who knows) ā¦
(#xieb67a) @alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it You might wanna have a look at this: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/twthash.py
(#6c77xta) Exactly, @zvava@twtxt.net, I agree. (Although, in my client at least, I wouldnāt use hashes anywhere.)
(#ckxyirq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Iām glad it make sense for you š I will never understand it. All I know is that Iām a conservative socialist and thereās a lot of āstupid shitāā¢ happening in the world (including my own country). I still blame extreme Capitalism.
Hey @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com, I just wanna let you know that twtstrm/0.4.0 sends a broken User-Agent header. Instead of the URL, the nick is repeated.
(#ckxyirq) @prologic@twtxt.net Hm, I donāt know. Over here, we have parties that we would call āleftā or ārightā, one of them even calls themselves āThe Leftā. No idea about your political landscape, but it still makes sense for us. š¤ For me, at least.
(#ckxyirq) @bender@twtxt.net š¤£
(#x4pf6pq) @zvava@twtxt.net Hahaha, I love it! This illustrates the contradiction very well.
(#ckxyirq) I hope no-one here is a ānutterā š¤£
(#ckxyirq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de See hereās the thingā¦ I just donāt fucking gt this whole āleftā vs. ārightā shitā¢ anymore. None of it makes any sense whatsoever. When my wife tries to explain it to me itās completely the opposite to what you just said just now š± ā So from here on, Iām just going to keep things simpleā nuttersā and ānormalā š¤£
(#rdncvjq) @bender@twtxt.net I feel you buddy š¤ At one point we have quite a vibrant community. Phil was great, jlj too and Adi was well just Ado š
(#ckxyirq) @prologic@twtxt.net Germany was listed as āopposingā on https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for a while, now itās back to āundecidedā. According to netzpolitik.org, itās still debated. Also according to that page, there could be an important vote on the EU level on October 13/14.
The green party and the (far) left are opposing this (at least in Germany). Sadly, Germany is leaning more right with every year ā¦ As for young people: The (far) left is the strongest party among young people, with the (far) right being the second strongest one. (https://www.tagesschau.de/wahl/archiv/2025-02-23-BT-DE/umfrage-alter.shtml) Is there cause for hope? I donāt know.
(#bhbo6cq) @bender@twtxt.net Yup! Fixing that now! š Also the Tags page and the size of the trags is intentional, as more posts are tagged with the same tag, those will result in larger size rendered tags in a kind of ātag cloudā ā At this this is the intention.
(#bhbo6cq) @bender@twtxt.net Ahh yes I see what you mean. no indicate of when the post was made right? That should be ideally displayed on the page somewhere? Would you expect it in the url as well, because not having /posts/yyyy/mm/dd/.... was actually intentional. But yeah I should figure out where to put some additional metadata on the page.
(#ckxyirq) @bender@twtxt.net hopeful of the same š¤
(#bhbo6cq) I will try to improve the CSS š
(#bhbo6cq) > the single posts have no date (intended?)
What do you mean by this? š¤
(#ckxyirq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Kill it with fire š„
