Saved, I hope that didn’t anyone’s timeline… 😅

Shi… I forgot to pull my twtxt file before twtin’ … let me see if I can recover them lost timeline twts.

Awake since last year… 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you 🙏 wish you all the best! 🙌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Implementing my own TUI rendering in the tt rewrite, I know what a headache this can be. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s not any better on the “ground” with trees and buildings around. They don’t dampen at all, in fact the houses just cause reverb and amplify the bangs. Rest assured, I did not hear any people laughing or anything in that nature. Just grenades going off. Talking to my mates, it appears that I live in an especially bad shithole, they reported a noticable reduction of explosions around 00:20. Over here, there was constant fire till around 02:00.

Yep, that’s exactly how I imagine a war zone, too.

Happy New Year, UTC-08:00! 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think I already posted this last year, but this is how NYE sounds like for me:

https://movq.de/v/c0084b64f9/MVI_8118.ogg

I live in a tower building and there are no objects (like trees or other buildings) to “dampen” the sound. All the explosions sound massive, extra loud, and very uncomfortable. Also notice that there’s no music or people cheering. Just explosions. I haven’t lived through a war in our country (yet), but I guess it’ll sound something like this. 🫤

2024 was okay for me, but 2025 is gonna be real shit. 😂 So much annoying stuff coming up. Gotta enjoy the moment, who knows how long it will last. 😅

Happy new year, you guys. 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, it’s all written from scratch, but most of it is written in C (not Assembler) and having a C standard library available helps a lot. It’s not that different from writing a program for DOS, just the syscalls are different. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Scrolling the viewport was the most annoying part. 🥴 The code also assumes that it is running on a “fast” PC. There are no “elaborate” data structures like a gap buffer. (But it does use dynamic arrays, which Wikipedia lists as a special case of a gap buffer. 🤔)

To display text on the screen, the editor writes directly to video memory (https://wiki.osdev.org/Printing_To_Screen). This is a blessing and much easier than fiddling with escape sequences. I wish you could do something like that on a Linux terminal.

Ok, amma start twting from my timeline instance, let me know if I break something xD

Happy New-new year I guess 👋😁

@prologic@twtxt.net what this refers about? What did you do?

Whoops, this of course should have read “other than on the last three days”. Yeah, people give a fuck, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. And police doesn’t care either. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerwerk#Bundesrepublik_Deutschland_(Gegenwart)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, quite an elaborate editor you’ve programmed there!

Healthy new world war!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the sound of the disk drive brought back so many memories! (second time I type this, first time the reply seemed to go through, just to find myself logged out 🤯).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I would agree 2024 wasn’t a good year for our family either. While I understand every year doesn’t need to positively excel, one can only hope, right? 2024 went out of the way to be bad.

I am truly happy to have met such amazing people through this “simple” medium. Thank you all for bearing with me, and my often outspoken, borderline “assholery”, attitude. I am working on it, be assured.

See you all next year!

Good riddance 2024…
2025, be good or else.

Happy new year Twtxt people. I’m grateful for getting to meet/talk to you all, It certainly was the best thing to have happened to me in this “2024” chapter of my life.

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy New Year!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Happy New Year! I am still 6 hours in the past

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy new year! 😃

Okay, this is pretty cool. My 8086 toy OS running on my old Pentium from an actual floppy disk. 😍 I just love that sound and the feeling of using floppies. This brings back so many memories from my early DOS days.

The cp-unopt program copies a file and intentionally uses small unaligned reads/writes (hopefully triggers more bugs).

The I/O cache works “okay-ish”, I guess. When sha1 runs, it has to do a few reads for the first file and basically none for the second one. Both could have been served entirely from the cache, theoretically. (But even just having an I/O cache in the first place speeds up things dramatically.)

Notice how there’s an EA file. That’s a left-over from OS/2, because I copied some files to the floppy using OS/2. In other words, my FAT12 implementation survives OS/2 writing to it. 🥳 (But I guess it should show up as EA DATA.SF. My current code starts at the left and stops at the first space.)

Happy New Year!! 💥

🎆🥳🎆🥳🎆🥳🎆🥳!

Happy New Year, mate! 🍾🎉🎇

Happy new year, Brisbane! 🎆🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net Do you have any data about the #twtxt health? How many people are currently using twtxt?

I found 2 active Registries: tilde.instite and twtxt.envs.net . I think that is missing a repository or system for them to find each other. It is easy to share registry users. Your work is awesome! Maybe you are supporting twtxt with the pod and software around them. I am very busy with the Emacs client, but I like to work creating my own version of Registry using Django.

Luckily, it’s illegal to sell fireworks other than after the last three days in the year.

Interesting, didn’t know that. According to the following link, it’s even illegal to use it other than 31./1.: https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/wann-wird-feuerwerk-zur-straftat-alles-was-sie-fuer-silvester-wissen-muessen-235257.html

Nobody knows that, apparently. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Certainly the last thing for this year. 😅 (How is this possible? Christmas already over and tomorrow is 2025? Time flies. 😩)

@bender@twtxt.net For sure, we have isolated bangs since at least 12th December, too. That day I also noticed piles of cracker garbage in the forest. What assholes. Luckily, it’s illegal to sell fireworks other than after the last three days in the year. However, people can still import them and they do. :-(

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org we have been hearing isolated ones for days now, pretty much since Thanksgiving. 😩

@prologic@twtxt.net also the mentions. Remember, broken mentions. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How cool! So, that’s the last thing for the year, eh? :-)

It must already be New Year here. Full continuous fire for ten minutes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pretty neat! Keep going, keep going!

Well, they could render inline. Will still need some authorisation from the pod operator.

@@twtxt.andros.dev if you use markdown when posting the cat images, they will render inline on any Yarn pod.

Made a little text editor for my 8086 toy operating system today. It can’t do much, but it allows for some basic editing. 💾

That was probably the last “big” thing I did for that OS in the near future. Vacation is coming to an end.

Are there any good Registry? I like to check the mentions.

How can I add feeds to https://feeds.twtxt.net/feeds ? It this possible?

My cat, @terron@duque-terron.cat has his own twtxt account. Would you follow him? #catsoftwtxt

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Beautiful! Well, today is also a rather foggy gray soup here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, that was a wide open field, absolutely nowhere to hide. I reckon it was just a very brave individual. We somehow managed to radiate a sense of calm. :-) It might have been the same heron I saw the other days a few hundred meters west.

Had to turn my freeBSD pet computer off in hopes of saving a couple of pennies off of the power bill. 🥲 And having had a blast spending time living in tty earlier this year, I thinking about daily driving the RPi4B for a while and let the main beast hibernate as well 🧘
