In-reply-to » POWER EFFIN' OUTAGE!!! Electricity came back after ~10 min like... no beggie BUT, Internet stayed out for like 2 more hrs 😅

@quark@ferengi.one LOL we repair everything in here 😆 … I just have a problem with trusting people with my stuff because of past experiences. “Better a half broken screen than no screen” kind of thing.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have no Idea, I still haven’t found a repair shop I can trust with my monitor. As for the blackouts, they don’t have consistent frequency. Sometimes it’s once every 3 months… other times it’s 3 times a day 😂

In-reply-to » I'm happy with the current implementation though, because the only reason you should be hitting the external profile endpoint at all is a) you're logged in and happen to click on someone's profile that is external to the pod or b) you're anonymous and just clicking through the frontpage (see a)

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just went in a case b) on @abucci@anthony.buc.ci ’s pod, if I click on their nickname I get a Log-in page. And if I click on anyone else’s I a profile page. Is that normal?

@quark@ferengi.one We’re having a nice day out here, Clear sky, 26.2 °C (altough it feels like a ~30 °C) … no storms! And the most annoying thing is, THIS happens to my monitor whenever there is a power outage:

My monitor losing rows of pixels due to power outage

With each one a row of pixels gets chipped out … and no I can’t afford a UPS at the moment.

Throw your “Get rich quick” plans at me, I wanna be able to afford suing somebody/something about this. 😂 It’s not the first time that this happened and I’m sure it’s not gonna be the last.

In-reply-to » @aelaraji Ahh I see! Interesting 🧐 Would you prefer that clients like yarnd prefetch resources liks this, cache them and serve the cached copy? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I think so as well. Hell I can’t even get myself to upload much media files on the fedi-platforms knowing they’ll be hosted out of someone else’s pocket, someone with no ROI in mind but other’s freedom of expression.

In-reply-to » Alacritty doesn't support TABs. Running a multiplexer locally doesn't work well when you run another on your remote session. Uuuuuuugh! Nothing is ever perfect.

@bender@twtxt.net What multiplexer do you use? I usually use Tmux and have my prefix mapped to C-a on my local machine and the default C-b on the remote ones so they don’t conflict if it helps.

In-reply-to » you'll probably get an Error 1011 🤦 ... just copy and paste the link in a new tab if you can Screenshot of neomutt running Jenny

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t mind that for the bigger images, although, my main problem is with the scrappers and other platforms that nuke my RPi whenever I post a link out there… yes! I mean Mastodon 😆

BTW! I’ve just white listed twtxt.net … you should be able to see the embedded image by now.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a Clownflare option to prevent images on your website from being embedded on other websites. It helps with my low bandwidth resources. And I believe you can set-up similar rules with Nginx, I’m just too lazy to do it manually RN.

In-reply-to » Just realized that phone came with a bunch of “hidden” Meta/Facebook services pre-installed and they cannot be uninstalled, so I guess me trying to “fight” WhatsApp is pointless anyway. 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A family member gave me their old (pseudo-)smart phone and it had all kinds of pre-installed BS that you’re not supposed to be able to uninstall, Xiaomi, FB, google… you name it. but guess what!? I already know about this Trick and then there is the Rethink DNS/Firewall app I have setup to block all traffic then allow the stuff I need with an Allow, Bypass or Exclude rule.

You’d be surprised to see how much traffic is going to blocked!! 🤣

In-reply-to » @shreyan Haha my criteria is being inactive for over two years 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net HAHA! Couldn’t say it better. I started abandoning main stream social media as soon as is it stopped feeling like connecting and sharing with other human beings and became an urge for feeding an algorithm and hoping for it’s blessing to get a glimpse of human interaction It deems worthy of having.

In-reply-to » I'm working on getting my twtxt.txt file up to https://yarn.social standards so that it will be more than yelling in the wind.

@prologic@twtxt.net Probably has something to do with how the nickname is set up, It starts with a capital letter and has a white space. I couldn’t fetch their feed until I fixed that in my ‘follow’ file. But I dunno, maybe it’s just me…

In-reply-to » @lyse Ahh so it's not just me! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I checked my logs and all I see are 304 responses and a couple of delayed requests here and there due to rate limiting, but not that many. I’ll disable it (the rate limiting) for a couple of days, let me know if you still get the ‘forbidden access’ thing 🫣 I may have effed up my configuration trying to deal with some weird stuff.

In-reply-to » This sunset was nicer in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-07-22/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I bet it was! These kinds of sunset shots (with colorful delicious clouds in motion… etc) have always been candy to my eyes. And I know for a fact that the real thing usually looks ten folds better than in pictures (at least in the ones I used to take). Thank you for sharing these!

In-reply-to » The “Matrix Experiment”, i.e. running a Matrix server for our family, has failed completely and miserably. People don’t accept it. They attribute unrelated things to it, like “I can’t send messages to you, I don’t reach you! It doesn’t work!” Yes, you do, I get those messages, I just don’t reply quickly enough because I’m at work or simply doing something else.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de TBH I don’t like Matrix… It feels a bit messy, my conversations and servers I join tend to get mangled, some stuff tend to have some sub-stuff… etc. I don’t hate it though, because I know I may have been using it wrong.

But hey, have you ever tried Databag ? Your family might get a better user experience with this one.
