(#nypdk5a) @bender@twtxt.net You’re welcome 🤣

Been clearing out my pod a bit and blocking unwanted domains that are basically either a) just noise and/or b) are just 1-way (whose authors never reply or are otherwise unaware of the larger ecosystem)

Let me know if y’all have any other candidates you’d like me to add to the blocked domain list?

(#gtqdgla) @bender@anthony.buc.ci Ahh, well it should support mult-line, pretty sure it does

(#gtqdgla) Renders like this:

(#gtqdgla) Are you playing around with the Multi Line Extension? I’m not really sure what client you’re using, but in most modern clients, we support multi-lines. e.g:

• This is a line
  
• This is another line.

(#obpx6pa) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com It depends 🤣

</> htmx - high power tools for html really liking the idea of htmx 🤔 If I don’t have to learn all this complicated TypeScript/React/NPM garbage, I can just write regular SSA (Server-Side-Apps) and then progressively upgrade to SPA (Single-Page-App) using htmx hmmm 🧐

(#3rqaogq) Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! What?! I’m heading straight to Wikipedia…

(#f57rmoq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I figured, since ncdu shows it at the bottom. ;-) But it’s actually pretty smart, to be honest. More space for precious content. And the title bar exists anyway, so why not make use of it with something helpful? Also, with entries being in descending order, it’s actually natural to show the sum as the even higher number above the largest entry and not at the bottom in another status line widget. 8-)

(#jmbfhca) Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com!

What the heck is going on with the encoding here?! The feed’s Content-Type header does not include any charset, but I’m still relying on the official twtxt client to fetch and parse feeds. Haven’t noticed this with any other feeds. Where in the chain is this messed up? :-? Seems like the “space” is the Unicode line separator U+2028, that we use for newlines.

We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didn’t hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!

(#f57rmoq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh nice, it even shows the sum in the title bar.

(#3xp2dea) @bender@twtxt.net Thanks! This is helpful 🙇‍♂️

(#olcmcga) Sure did! 😅

(#63cqh3a) See so discovery does work 🤣

(#jmbfhca) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! We have new blood 🤣 Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com 👋

(#mdhkbsa) @prologic@twtxt.net I use LocalMonero (onion) to buy Monero with cash sent by mail. You can sell on there if you want to convert back to fiat. People also like Bisq, which is peer-to-peer software for buying and selling cryptocurrency.

To accept Monero, all you need is a wallet program. I recommend Feather Wallet. Create your wallet in there, then you’ll copy the wallet files into monero-wallet-rpc for use with MoneroPay, see docker-compose.yaml.

(#2kzsn4a) I’m open to other suggestions? Maybe a service that can provide a an altcoin payment method and gateway as a service? 🤔

(#2kzsn4a) @mckinley@twtxt.net That may be true. I tried some “decentralized exchanges” but I have issue with “trust” so this is proving to be quite hard to figure out how to support accepting XMR as a “payment method” 🤔

(#2kzsn4a) @prologic@twtxt.net Is it really banned? I thought the regulators just pressured the centralized exchanges to delist privacy coins without actually banning them outright.

So turns out the following are banned in Australia

DASH, XMR or ZEC.

(#5bhvfma) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m glad that this stats view is actually useful. :-)

(#4sjthna) @prologic@twtxt.net I concur. This little community of ours is here because of you, and I’m very grateful for that. :)

(#75dry2q) I got an e-mail today about my Linux notebook reaching end of support, yada yada yada. It mentioned that with the new stuff Okular will be able to sign PDFs. Never ever had to use that, but maybe some Linux user finds this information useful.

(#4sjthna) @bender@twtxt.net Thank you ! 🙇‍♂️

(#o2wztra) Looks like his feed occasionally has problems too :/

(#o2wztra) @bender@twtxt.net Agree maybe it’s time to rethink the data stored here, I’ve been leaning towards this anyway over the past year or so.

(#o2wztra) I dunno what to say, but the Twt @movq@www.uninformativ.de replied to #cjlg4da just isn’t there. I can see it in @johanbove@johanbove.info ’s feed

$ ./yarnc stats https://johanbove.info/twtxt.txt | grep cjlg4da
  1 : (#cjlg4da)

But neither my pod nor the search engine ever ingested it. Hmm? Without modifying the tools I’m not even sure which Twt it was.

(#2hmj7aq) @darren@twtxt.net The few always spoil it for the many 😢

(#e7zaicq) I agree with your sentiment 👌

Oh, nevermind… it did! I’ve just checked my twtxt.txt file. Now I have to figure out replays 🫤

Nope! it didn’t work… I still have some digging to do.

I’m still figuring out interactions mechanics on Twtxt, for example the at symbol is sufficient to mention someone you follow I guess, like @twtxt@buckket.org when using the twtwt cli. is that implemented in the twtxt cli as well? it wouldn’t heart to try

(#hsozbnq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon it’s now here.

(#lkr7vhq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s very useful. I always start my music player in a tmux session so I can SSH in, attach it, and control the music from another computer. It’s also handy for letting long-running tasks on a remote machine continue in the background even if the SSH connection is broken.

(#2hmj7aq) @prologic@twtxt.net Monero has stayed a little more stable than Bitcoin but it’s still a cryptocurrency and it’s still going to fluctuate quite a bit. It also uses proof-of-work algorithm so it still consumes quite a bit of electricity. I think the value of being able to send any amount of money, any time of the day, to anyone on the planet in 20 minutes (appears in 2 minutes, spendable in 20) completely privately with near-zero transaction fees exceeds the drawbacks.

Unfortunately, the characteristics that make it useful as a global currency for day-to-day transactions also make it useful for people doing illicit things. Many exchanges, fearing regulatory action, won’t accept Monero for the same reason they won’t accept Bitcoin from a mixer.

Monero shouldn’t be banned just because people use it for bad things. It’s just a tool and it can be used for good or evil. It’s the same reason countries use when they ban or restrict Tor usage.

(#sa4jlsq) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m in if you accept XMR

(#2hmj7aq) Hmmmm

Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, is not illegal globally but is banned in some countries due to its potential use in illicit activities. Countries like Dubai, Japan, South Korea, and Australia have either banned or recommended a ban on privacy coins like Monero.23 Oct 2023

That’s not good 😌

(#hsozbnq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de We just had a quick heavy rain shower roll past. Didn’t notice storm, though. Be safe!

(#sa4jlsq) If I try and get a PoC up and running that’s useful enough, any takers? I mean c’mon it’ll only cost you $0.15-$0.20 🤣

(#sa4jlsq) Interesting. Good to see I’ll have competition 😅

(#2hmj7aq) @mckinley@twtxt.net And what about some of the other aspects that make Bitcoin awful. Like the stupid instability of it’s fiat conversation price and the stupid amouns of energy it consumes? How does Monero compare?

Good! I guess I’m done setting up my Twtxt. I’ll be juggling between the official CLI and Twixter, although I already have a favorite.

(#sa4jlsq) Actually, kyun.host might offer container hosting at some point.

On-demand Linux containers.
Run almost anything, without having to touch the command line.
Coming Soon

https://kyun.host/services

(#sa4jlsq) @prologic@twtxt.net That sounds great. The only other container-level hosting service I’ve heard of is PikaPods which seems much more managed than cas.run would be. It has customizable tier-based pricing and the minimum specs are ¼ of a CPU core, 256 MB of memory, and “about 100 MB” of storage for $1/mo which seems awfully steep compared to a low-cost VPS. I don’t know if PikaPods offers an IPv4 reverse proxy or not.

(#2hmj7aq) Monero uses cryptography to make transactions anonymous and the coins completely fungible. With most cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, the transactions associated with an address are public and you can trace those coins all the way back to their origin. This means that not all coins are the same. For example, some exchanges won’t accept Bitcoin that comes from a mixer because they assume you’re doing something untoward.

With Monero, it’s not possible to trace any transactions with just an address. People can’t see what you’re spending your money on or where your coins came from. Transaction fees using Monero are also very small. It’s less than the equivalent of 1 cent in USD.

Minuscule transaction fees and anonymity make it the best choice in my opinion for buying goods and services online. Monero is much more like “digital cash” than Bitcoin, which I think is better described as “digital gold”.

(#2hmj7aq) Ahy is Monaro/XMR considered good / better btw? 🤔

(#2hmj7aq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Looks like XMR is much more stable than bloody BTC which is nice 🤣

(#sa4jlsq) @mckinley@twtxt.net I was mostly only thinking about use-based. Is there a desire for than this?

(#2hmj7aq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Will do! 👌
