(#kqegfua) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Commercial forest, I guess? (Are there any other forests?)

(#2uni6ta) (The original was played on a guitar with an octave pedal, not a bass.)

(#4ro37ha) Not in the mood to deal with reality today, so here’s another one of those silly things: https://movq.de/v/68c61f8ecc/r2_session.ogg This time on electric bass, tuned down to B-standard because oomph. (Well, sounds okay on my headphones, but I’m obviously no sound engineer. 🤪)

This time, I brought my cam along. We checked out a piece of ex-forest they’ve cut down. It looks terrible now. :-( At least the spruce resin smell was nice. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-03-27/

(#4jiragq) @eapl.me@eapl.me According to an update of the article, others have suggested the same.

Your explanation seems fitting. I just don’t get why people don’t use feed readers anymore. Anyway.

Hab’ ich einen Durst! Ist noch Lack da?

(#d7d5tkq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I had that as my avatar/userprofile pic at work for a few years. 😆

(#gol54eq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Luckily, yeah. Happens every now and then. It’s usually not even worth reporting, they often fix it in 30-90 minutes anyway.

(#qjn5oda) (Is this how we do “reactions” here on twtxt? 🤪)

(#4ro37ha) @xuu@txt.sour.is @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 💚

(#kb25goa) @xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah, it will be delayed. Oh well. That’s just the way it is. :-)

(#4ro37ha) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that filename! :-D 100 times better than I could ever play.

(#bqhddgq) @xuu@txt.sour.is If the unread counter becomes negative, wouldn’t that mean I have that many more read messages? :-D

@bender@twtxt.net You’re spot on, it’s important to not introduce classical bugs!

(#gol54eq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear. :-( Have they fixed it?

(#d7d5tkq) @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I had a t-shirt with this one or the other decade ago. :-)

(#d7d5tkq) @prologic@twtxt.net 🍴💣

(#gkqvwra) Hmm so looking at the swagger of the registry spec client it seems to just take a “page”.. That seems worse than doing an offset. Lol.

(#srxmgka) An AI clock is correct twice a day.

:{:|:&};:

Super stressful day at work and, once I got home: Internet outage.

I guess that’s a sign.

(#vmkz5nq) @bender@twtxt.net I gave up after page 4 (DuckDuckGo) 🤣

(#7xubh7a) @bender@twtxt.net I tend to think of Twtxt like Email. It is truely decentralised. So therefore by design there really is no way to easily discovers others except through social interactions and a sort of “word of mouth” of human exchanges of communications.

(#lshczrq) @bender@twtxt.net I taught the whole ecosystem 😁
@prologic@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people?
Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.

(#gkqvwra) @xuu@txt.sour.is no disagreements from me!

I’m not much a fan of registry limit/offset paging. I think I prefer the cursor/count method. And starting at zero for first and max for latest.

(#4ro37ha) So smooth. love it!

(#rf27ppa) @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt haha its not coming back. he talked of a stand alone thing like feeds. but not in yarnd

(#bqhddgq) hmm @prologic@twtxt.net how did replying to lyse double up here?

(#kb25goa) if it hasn’t updated in a while so i put the request rate to once a week it will take some time before i see an update if it happens today.

I need to figure out a way to back off requests to feeds that don’t update often.

“Unread messages: -1”: Well, classic off by one error. I gotta have to hunt that down.

Guilty pleasure, blasphemy, shitty audio, … something like that. Seven Nation Army on double bass. 🤪 https://movq.de/v/e3a4dcff2e/sad-nation-army.ogg

(#oebpxgq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s not very retrocomputing!

(#65xtmrq) @bender@twtxt.net 🙈🙈🙈

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I remember WebKit having a similar list, but I can’t find it right now … 🙈

(#4jiragq) @eapl.me@eapl.me Interesting! Two points stood right out to me:

1. Why the hell are e-mail newsletters considered a valid option in the first place? Just offer an Atom feed and be done with it! Especially for a blog of this very type. This doesn’t even involve a third party service. Although, in addition he also links to Feedburner, what the fuck!? No e-mail address or the like is needed and subject to being disclosed.

2. When these spam mailers want to prevent resubscribing, then for fuck’s sake, why don’t they use a hash of the e-mail address (I saw that in yarnd) for that purpose? Storing the e-mail address in clear text after unsubscribing is illegal in my book.

(#frq4vla) @prologic@twtxt.net In all seriousness: Don’t worry, I’m not going to host some Fediverse thingy at the moment, probably never will. 😅

But I do use it quite a lot. Although, I don’t really use it as a social network (as in: following people). I follow some tags like #retrocomputing, which fills my timeline with interesting content. If there was a traditional web forum or mailing list or even a usenet group that covered this topic, I’d use that instead. But that’s all (mostly) dead by now. ☹️

(#snodmta) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I see, fair point, yeah.

(#65xtmrq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yikes! I didn’t know about about:compat. Crazy!

(#cq2ta3a) @xuu@txt.sour.is Wow, that’s a giant graveyard. In my new database I have 16,428 messages as of now. Archive feed support is not yet available, so it’s just the sum of all the 36 main feeds.

(#pyscdeq) @david@collantes.us Ah shit, sorry, you’re right! :-D

Thank you @python_valencia@twtxt.python-valencia.es for letting me show you the secrets of a decentralised plain text social network like twtxt.
I hope you enjoyed the talk! ❤️🐍


#python #twtxt

I want to present the twtxt feed from Python Valencia: https://twtxt.python-valencia.es/
Technical curiosity: It is generated using n8n, using the official rss.
#welcome

(#bohndlq) @bender@twtxt.net That … was better than expected. 😂

(#frq4vla) Wait! What’s going on?! 🧐

(#frq4vla) The Mastodon admins say that it’s probably because of the size of my account (~600 MB), so the export process times out. And I understand that. Here on twtxt, I always use auto-expiring links when I post images or videos. It just gets too much data otherwise. I think I’ll just set my Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after ~180 days or something like that. Nobody cares about old posts anyway.

(#snodmta) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net It already is a tiling window manager, but some windows can’t be tiled in a meaningful way. I admit that I’m mostly thinking about QEMU or Wine here: They run at a fixed size and can’t be tiled, but I still want to put them in “full screen” mode (i.e., hide anything else).
