LOL 😂 I think mastodon.social is broken 😞

@teleclimber@bridge.twtxt.net Definitely jealous that your model means you can “just add ARM” in a monthly update!

Hmmm does this show up in Twtxt? 🤔

Test

(#pye4xsa) @therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net It works! 🤣 Now I’m quite sure we haven’t got threads working yet 🤔

Hello World! Testing 1 2 3

Truly amazing and I agree with @quark@ferengi.one, more people need to know about Thomas Dambo’s wooden trolls: https://netbros.com/1750512577/ So beautiful! :-)

(#kqqd2ha) @quark@ferengi.one Yes, keep em coming. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Just start off the experiment now and see how far you get. :-D

That’s a very entertaining talk about mining and analyzing radio station playlists: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-radiomining-playlist-scraping-und-analyse It’s in German, not sure how good the English translation or subtitles are.

@meidastouch I think it’s pretty funny he keeps having to explain his own jokes.

I like to read through old RPG books and zines for inspiration for my games, and lately I’ve been enjoying the Arduin Grimoire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduin), one of the earliest 3rd-party zines (coming out during the initial run of OD&D). It’s filled with a bunch of unique ideas (some better than others), entirely too many charts, and is very much a product of its time, but there’s something about its “raw”-ness (and its variety) that I still find appealing.

(#6e546wa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de unison seems pretty fast for me, and quite nice looking on my macOS desktop. It’s bsed on GLFW, but it seems to work quite well 🤔

(#6e546wa) Be it Java with Swing or PyQt6, it takes ~300 ms until a basic window with a treeview and a listbox appears. That is a very noticeable delay.

Is it unrealistic to expect faster startup times these days? 🤔

Once the program is running, a new second window (in the same process) appears very quickly. So it’s all just the initialization stuff that takes so long. I could, of course, do what “fat” programs have done for ages: Pre-launch the process during boot, windowless. But I was hoping that this wasn’t needed. 😞 (And it’s a bad model anyway. When the main process crashes, all windows crash with it.)

(#lgowvua) @bender@twtxt.net Haha 😆

GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word

This is total bullshit 🤣

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net It’s good enough ti iron out any bugs 🐛 Can I haz an account? 🙏

(#oabutna) This is crazy 🤪

(#oabutna) LOL it works 🤣

Hey @mastodon@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net Not even a GotoSocial server? 🤔

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net You don’t run one anymore do you? 🤔

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net Bit big of a server no? 🤔

(#skbkeha) Someone, on the Bridge, this is meant to have sent @manton@bridge.twtxt.net a “Follow Request” via Activity Pub hmmm 🧐

Test (_did I fix this shit™-)?

Hey @manton@bridge.twtxt.net 👋 Why yes I believe I did!

Anyone run a Mastodon serve rI can have an account on to help test the Twtxt <-> Activity Pub bridge? 🙏

(#irratza) @bender@twtxt.net I need another side that I can unblame 🤣

(#bwcf4ca) I think because it still inserted the wrong alias in my following list:

# follow = manton@bridge.twtxt.net https://bridge.twtxt.net/twtxt/remote/d428c49928a4a0d1.txt

(#bwcf4ca) I’m not currently sure why this is tab-completing incorrectly hmmm 🧐

Testing 1 2 3 @manton@twtxt.net

I wound up running 2 out of 3 of the one-shots, both Halloween games based on Ravenloft / Curse of Strahd, and both rousing successes (for the players, not so much for Strahd).

Since I’m on something of a gaming kick, I think I’m going to try and finish plotting out the rest of the fae adventure I’m running for my kids, while also (hopefully) finishing my super secret astral gaming project.

Can I do it? Stay tuned and find out!

(#kgs3t5a) Wow :O That didn’t work!

Test @-mentioning@twtxt.net an AP actor via the Bridge. Hey @manton@twtxt.net 👋

verify: 3074975949c3b0d27df4

(#33b5jaq) I need some test Activity Pub / Mastodon users to test with 🤔

(#33b5jaq) And this isn’t even me, it’s the other end 🤣

WOW LOL

fetch https://weaknotes.com/users/david: status 500 Internal Server Error

First real test failed trying to lookup / follow @david@weaknotes.com

(#kqqd2ha) Haha 🤣 I wonder what the reliability of executing a sleep in a 200 billion year loop cycle is? 🤔

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I’m building (bidirectional) simply requires three things:

1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
   
2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (doesn’t matter where or how)
   
3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.
   

I’m still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏

(#suci4fq) technically I can put the Bridge verificaiton code in my feed’s metadata so no-one really ever sees or notices it 🤔 Maybe I’ll add a first-class button/field thingy in yarnd so users can “register their feed” straight from their pod? 🤔

Man, @quark@ferengi.one has an absolute gold mine. Having dealt again with different clocks and all sorts of strange time things at work today, this made my day! https://netbros.com/1755172401/ :‘-D

(#ixka6ca) @bender@twtxt.net Hahahahahaahaaa, you’re right, it can’t be anything else! :‘-D Must have been one of these manmade objects. Let’s hope they will become a full member of the Grant Wishes Council soon. In any case, I will keep trying.

@danie10@bridge.twtxt.net Fuel efficiency was the reason I had picked the economy instead of the “whatever you have” option in the first place. Although in fairness, I’d have to get a pretty big car to rent a car less efficient than my personal beast which is at the shop.

(#ftss7fa) @bender@twtxt.net Twtxt <-> ActivityPub (2nd time’s the charm? 🤣)

Testing new design, architecture and implementation of a Twtxt bridge I’m working on…

verification-token: ee9bc4da3356f4990671

Please ignore.

@jalefkowit@bridge.twtxt.net IMHO they should keep working on it.

(#bfbkxpq) @bender@twtxt.net I wished my mate would see it, too. But he turned his head a second too late. :-(

@kentonvarda.com That is a fair point. It is also not very cohesive in a “I don’t know what you want, but I’m required to say something” way. It managed to cover your grammar, the source of food insecurity, telling you “just eat something” (which is how I respond to family members who say they’re hungry), and tops it off with a funny video.

On today’s night walk I came across an absolutely giant shooting star. With it being visible for three seconds, it’s my second largest I’ve ever seen so far.

@kentonvarda.com I really hate to defend an AI model, or Google, but you did not give it much to go on here. I would’ve assumed you were telling the machine you were hungry and wanted it to suggest food near you.
