local means it only stores this stuff offline. So they claim. I don’t trust this and I don’t want to go anywhere near it.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, okay, the default being local means it only stores this stuff offline. So they claim. I don’t trust this and I don’t want to go anywhere near it.
@prologic@twtxt.net It’s from Gabe’s feed: https://gabesarcade.com/twtxt.txt
Yeah, lol, fuck off. Tried to reproduce that hashing issue, thus playing around with Go a little bit. And what did I find?

It collects and uploads “telemetry” now.
No.
(Don’t tell me how I can turn that off. Not interested. This is a compiler and it wants to track me, without asking for consent. That’s a no-go.)
@david@daiwei.me It really is almost impossible to debug these hash issues. Only thing I can do is some trial-and-error, to see if I somehow end up at pmrf6ftxsdhr instead of ksou5aqw7w5a. So far, no luck. 😅
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Welcome back 🥳
Back at 29-30 °C in my apartment. 🥳🙄

Twt could not be found
@david@daiwei.me The one with www is correct: https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt is the canonical URL used in the url = metadata field. (For historical reasons, it also works without www and even with http.)
@david@daiwei.me Ah, edits. Okay. Let’s hope that it’s all fixed then. 🤞
… this came off more snippy than I wanted it to. Sorry. 😅
Good morning. I’m seeing so many broken threads. You’re still investigating this, right?
@bender@twtxt.net All the other ones worked but this broke? What’s different here? To which twt hash should this be a reply? 🤔
@david@daiwei.me Well, I don’t see any broken threads here. 🤔
@bender@twtxt.net No idea. I can only tell you that the correct hash would have been rwzz277nkyju for this line:

(Guess I should have used my “find context” function. 🤪)
@bender@twtxt.net Ah, the first twts were from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fastidious/fastidious.github.com/master/twtxt.txt, not https://daiwei.me/twtxt.txt. Fetching the GitHub feed completes the thread. 👍
@david@daiwei.me (This thread is broken again on my end. Another bug or fix not released yet? 😅)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But but but but but … is that legal?! 😂
# url = preamble so every client hashes your feed the same way. Thanks @fastidious for the report 🙏
Well, this looks good, I guess:
🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net Let’s give it a shot! Test!
Host header is sent by the client. And don’t even think about serving UTF-8 or even just putting utf-8 in the content type. 😅 And for the JPEG thumbnails I pass a special flag to ImageMagick so that IBM Web Explorer from OS/2 won’t trip. 🤣 And always use link rel="stylesheet" for CSS, because some browsers render inlined CSS as literal text. And … probably more that I forgot by now. 😂
@bender@twtxt.net Speaking of drawers at the office … this is mine:

Looks a bit sad, eh? 🤣 (Or you could say: Minimalism!)

Oh, crap! It’s only Thursday! I thought we had Friday already … nnnnooooooo, not another day. 😭
@bender@twtxt.net Ha, I remember these from our trip to Florida ~30 years ago:

(Yep, it was a rainy day. 😂)
Heh, that’s a cute story: https://www.osnews.com/story/145459/you-paid-me-a-long-time-linux-user-to-use-windows-11-exclusively-for-a-month-heres-how-it-went/

I’m in the process of making a big page with photos and screenshots, and this is more stuff than I expected.
@arne@uplegger.eu You have Matrix at work? No Teams, Google Chat, Slack, Discord, whatever, but Matrix? Really? Where do you work, is this Socialist Russia?!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org How many people are still using XMPP? 🤔 I’d expect the number to just as low as IRC users? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Neither can I. 😱
However, I haven’t touched my favicon longer than that, lol:

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com That’s Halo? I don’t think I ever saw that in person … 🤔

Windows NT 4 didn’t have a Device Manager. You know, this thing right here that got introduced with Windows 95:

And that’s super awkward in NT4.
You know what doesn’t have a Device Manager, either? Linux. Why? 🤔 Isn’t this one of the most useful system tools? It gives you an overview of the devices in your system and tells you which driver is used for them. Linux could really use such a tool, I think? 🤔
(There are programs like “hardinfo” and I remember ancient KDE providing such a tool, but they’re all an afterthought. Hardly integrated into the overall system.)
@prologic@twtxt.net Oohhhhhhhh, lovely. 😍
15 years without reinstalling on this particular box.

Two more years and I’ll be celebrating the “20 years of Arch” anniversary.
@prologic@twtxt.net That looks nice! What’s the temperature?

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com The no-JS part is one thing, but you also have to disable the (nowadays common) forced-HTTP-to-HTTPS-redirect, because those old browsers can’t do modern crypto. And make sure that your webserver serves the correct page even if no Host header is sent by the client. And don’t even think about serving UTF-8 or even just putting utf-8 in the content type. 😅 And for the JPEG thumbnails I pass a special flag to ImageMagick so that IBM Web Explorer from OS/2 won’t trip. 🤣 And always use link rel="stylesheet" for CSS, because some browsers render inlined CSS as literal text.

@david@daiwei.me Not sure, actually. Let’s see. Those are the ones where I still have the original disks (or have bought them on eBay again):
- SuSE Linux 6.4 (it’s a massive 7 CD distro with a huge manual, best thing ever)
- OS/2 2.1
- OS/2 Warp 3 (red and blue spine because
$reasons)
- OS/2 Warp 4
- PC DOS 7
- MS-DOS 6.22
- Windows 3.1
- Windows for Workgroups 3.11
- Windows 95 C
- Windows 98
- Windows NT 4 Workstation (still in the mail, though 😅)
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP Professional (last Windows I ever used on my private PCs)
(Plus a few “classic” office products as can be seen here: https://movq.de/blog/postings/2024-05-23/0/POSTING-en.html )
Okay, wow. Windows NT 4 wasn’t part of my timeline back then, so this is the first time I’m seeing it in action. And this thing came with IE 2, which I’ve also never seen before. (That’s interesting, because I remember using IE even on Win 3.x, but apparently that was already IE 3?)
It also makes me really happy to see my website work in these old browsers. Fullscreen images are “broken” because those are PNG or WebP, but the rest works just fine. 🥳
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh yeah, few people are as persistent as her. That said, it’s really easy to give up. This shit is overwhelming.
@citizenalex@citizenalex.envs.net Correct.
