(#vlaa5xa) @eldersnake@twtxt.net ooo I had not thought of checking for a stripped down fork 🤔

I see a bunch mentions of open source here. I made an Open source cards against humanity game that you can play online! https://leafblower.fly.dev/ 🙏

(#pdogumq) @prologic@twtxt.net This is the colse-sourced part: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/qlw1ag/signal_is_adding_a_closedsource_spam_reduction/
So far it’s only a spam filter, but it’s still code running on the server that no one can look at, so counts in my book.

Also I guess my arguments about the protocol and crypto aren’t the strongest, but the truth is that I just don’t like the fact that it’s just another similar protocol and similar crypto that I want to have absolutely nothing to do with.

It’s the same as brave browser, I’d never download it, because I want a browser, not adware, crypto-wallet, torrent client and other garbage I do not like.

(#hmtxdza) @prologic@twtxt.net At least when the mobile app does it, it happens rarely and only when the app gets closed. Today it happened on the website itself, two times in the row, when I was sending a response while in the Yarn.

I don’t know if it would have happened a third time, because after doing it twice, I just sent it from the app.

(#pdogumq) @prologic@twtxt.net I just thought it was trying to be too many things at once, I don’t want a new crypto currency thing, I don’t want another SMS and calling app, when I already got Truecaller to block annoying people from calling me. They also preach open-source and yet parts of the app have been close-sourced already.

Still none of this would have been that much of a problem, if the whole thing just wasn’t too little, too late. When I tried it, only one person I know was willing to give it a chance, as it’s not that revolutionary and most people already got burned by apps like Keybase in the past, so at this point the solution isn’t another app that will probably be bought by someone and go to shit like all the ones before it, but rather a protocol like XMPP, which has many clients and can’t just he bought and abused.

Oh yeah it f!!cks up the render of …

how it it with bare URLs in https://github.com/sorenpeter/phpub2twtxt ?

(#xbn6g5q) @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com I agree with the first part, hopefully it indeed becomes more widely uaed.

I don’t use Signal, when I want privacy I use XMPP, at best with OMEMO encryption in DMs. But that’s obviously not something I’m able to use talking to most people, so at times I have to use the garage like Facebook Messenger, MS Teams or Discord.

With Discord I still kinda like a lot of things about it and wouldn’t even call it garbage, if the company wasn’t so money hungry.

Speaking of garbage, this is the third time I’m writing this reply, it keeps logging me out when I try sending it, if it happens again, I’ll stab someone. 🔪

(#xbn6g5q) @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Ah, so it is better when Google and Apple have two incompatible standards for this kind of messaging and some other companies using Android use neither and thus most messages are just basic, ancient and un-encrypted SMS? Or are you a backdoor enjoyer?

(#75wlltq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Me when I find myself crossing an international border, close to midnight, using free bus WiFi, spammed by messages from people, telling me that the server hosting my web-apps is down. 😂
*Only happened once so far

(#xbn6g5q) @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com 😂 Not really. I’m an ideal world the standard for safe messaging would be open and universal, with no potential for backdoors.
In this idea world Apple and similar companies would have already went bankrupt, over the shit they tend to push. 😂

(#xbn6g5q) @deebs@twtxt.net Yeah, it’s a story as old as time, I remember when I joined KeyBase. It had private messages, place to link and verify your social media and keys, later they also added some weird crypto integration and than it got bought by some Chinese company and the privacy went right out the window.
So I don’t really trust these new services asking for a phone numbers and offering weird crypto integrations that no one ever asked for.
I gave Signal a try and didn’t really like it. Telegram was a tiny bit better, but still think it’s not even work to keep it installed on my phone.

(#pycm5vq) @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah it’s crazy how fast Microsoft returned to the old IE days filled with abusing their good position in the browser space. 😒

(#75wlltq) @prologic@twtxt.net I can’t code everyday, can’t even draw everyday either, especially during these busy, exam-filled days.
But I enjoy the YouTube channels Ashens and MrWeeble usually having advent calendar-ish video projects and the site chip.de having an advent calendar with free software, but there is rarely any good software in there. 🙃

(#hhbovzq) @prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know if we’re on the same page, but this new Twitter rule seems kinda abusable. What if you’re recording something news-worthy, like crimes, fights, natural disasters with people in the video? Don’t the laws you mention only apply to places with reasonable explanations of privacy? How are you supposed to take pictures of literally anything someone is standing next to? And many more questions that just keep coming to my mind.

(#xbn6g5q) Speaking of Signal, just went through the settings menu and I see a payments section now… Send and receive MobileCoin 🤨

wow user profiles look really clean now 👌

(#hslaqhq) I haven’t used Signal long but I must admit I’m a convert. Also handy it can act as the default SMS app on my phone. SMS will be unencrypted of course, and Signal reminds you of as much, but it means i can just use Signal for either case

Interesting 🍿

The better thing is probably to pull the desired nick from metadata comments, but not everyone has it and usage frequency is still interesting on its own.

Updated and renamed peer set files: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/peers/ The superset is all.txt and the verified subset is downloaded-and-parsed.txt

Tracking current/correct nicks was getting confusing, so I added a nick usage frequency count pass to the crawler, which also corrects a URL’s nick to the one most-frequently mentioned for that URL. The collected nick data per (encoded) URL is here: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/nicks/seen/

@prologic@twtxt.net (#crxaava) no, not this morning. but I’ll keep it in mind :)

@prologic@twtxt.net (#crxaava) here we had freezing rain. thick ice everywhere 05:30 this morning when I drove to work. luckily a bit warmer the next days, so all the ice will go away.

A 556 IC is functionally the same as two 555 ICs, but I’ve decided the 555 is better because search engines don’t confuse it for ammunition as much.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de logrotate feels like the right solution. Just need the client support and a convention for where to host the archives.

(#zynf6rq) @prologic@twtxt.net There’s a Zoom link already posted in this Yarn, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t. 🙂

(#mdr3eeq) @prologic@twtxt.net Looks like he stepped donw. I never liked the guy, but I think he didn’t have that much to do with how the company “worked” anyway, so I doubt it’ll get much better with some other idiot in charge of it and the current idiot was at least unintentionally funny.

(#mdr3eeq) @ionores@twtxt.net Guess he can always be a crypto shill, he already has enough experience with that, with pumping Bitcoin and selling his first ever Tweet A’s an NFT for a completely unreasonable amount of money.

(#hihezvq) My parents visited us over the weekend and they enjoyed using this ghetto kotatsu. Success!

Continuing my no-HVAC challenge, this year I’ve been heating myself/my partner by either making a ghetto Kotatsu by placing a crappy old space heater under a blanket and a box or by using an electric blanket.

(#zke7l7q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m a big fan of using PyCharm and IntelliJ on large Python and Java codebases respectively. In my personal life, I mostly use Emacs (because I don’t hack much Java outside of work), but I do wonder what GoLand is like.

(#iyxkf2a) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ooh so pretty!

(#u22jq5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de +1

(#vjc33kq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t forget to btrfs scrub e.g. once a week.

I’m using btrfs scrub -B /dev/xyz and mail the result to myself.

Jack is looking for a new job! Any suggestions… 😁

(#iyxkf2a) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I love watching the snow fall! 😀

(#zke7l7q) VSCodium 👌, but Kate is not bad either! 😀

(#lrsqwdq) @prologic@twtxt.net 🍻 to that! 😊

(#lrsqwdq) @prologic@twtxt.net

How you been anyway mate? 🤗 You’ve been quietish lately 🤔

Yeah sorry, I’ve been a bit caught up in things. I’m personally alright, just my partner has had some mental health battles lately as well as some physical ones 😥 What’s also compounded the issues, is after her first jab she’s had swollen lymph nodes around her neck for nearly a month and in quite a bit of discomfort and no one really knows why. I’ve since had my second jab and I’m fine, but she’s rather regretting hers ATM…

(#rxvbtea) @prologic@twtxt.net Done 👌

(#bo7a32q) @prologic@twtxt.net Ahh lovely! Totally missed it, shows I’m a bit behind with it all.

(#g6lpvna) @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Peer-ception!

Just upgraded both my pods to latest master and merged in new icons and all the new UI goodness. Nice 👍

Only question is… where is the Pod Management button 🤔 cc @prologic@twtxt.net

(#lfbnddq) @darch@twtxt.net That’s brilliant. And so true :(

Picture comes with local bantams too LOL, red circle, in our new kitchen space.
