@hecanjog@hecanjog.com Enjoy it while it lasts… it’s been hot as hell in here in the last couple of days.

@johanbove@johanbove.info Did they produce a new season or you’re just catching up with the old ones? It has been ages since the last time I’ve watched any of it.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know if there is/will be a Crowdsec bouncer to handle something like that. 🤔

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club That’s actually awesome! Happy seeing the pace at which it’s starting to pick up momentum as far as getting more eyes on the project, especially after the “Ladybird Browser Initiative” announcement, that surely got a lot more people talking.

I don’t remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here’s an article by Cloudflare “Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click” offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.

@prx@si3t.ch A banger! 🤘

@bender@twtxt.net YES! They’ll be sucking on a 1000GB Lollipop per request! 😂 I bet their VPS providers will be happy! VERY happy!

Eyes on logs… Waiting for the first s-kiddo to knock on my door. Got a Huge treat, just for them. *wink*

Hey @movq@www.uninformativ.de !! here’s an article you might find interesting: Blocking Bots with Nginx … this person is actually blocking AI Bots based on a list of User Agents in an interesting way. 👍

@bender@twtxt.net Actually the video is a reaction to: HTMX Sucks that is originally an essay by Carson Gross (the creator) in the “The worse-is-better design philosophy” and what not style. So No, it isn’t … or at least not in the sense one would get from such a title. 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net Watched that one the other day after seeing that much chatter about #HTMX on the feed. And now I’m watching HTMX Sucks - Youtube

by the same person (or should I say people?) 😂

Edit: Its* main… etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A Honest response: As far as I’m concerned, It’s main feature is … I’m bored and ready to try anything that crosses my path, might learn a thing or two along the way. 😅

Some(one/thing) is going Berserk at my web server and some of their requests are "GET /etc/shadow HTTP/1.1" and "GET /.ssh/id_ed25519 HTTP/1.1" … I think they should try and POST some kind of sudo rm -rf /* while they’re at it; it would be funnier.

@prologic@twtxt.net Can’t pin point what changed and I’m not sure if it’s some placebo effect or something but it feels quite nice! 😂👍✨

I’m still alive ! Here’s a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:

• Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
  
• Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have maybe fixed that) … etc.
  
• Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I’ll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net ✌
  
• Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was … not for me to say the least.
  
• Started learning Emacs (I know, I’m in trouble LOL) and might even start twtin’ from there instead.

@bmallred@staystrong.run yep! it’s all good now! 👍

@prx@si3t.ch J’espère que vous allez bien. Et c’est fous comme histoire, j’ai vu exactement la même sur BFM ce matain où le conducteur âgé (70 ans et quelques si je me rappelle bien) impliqué dans l’accident a fini par percuter quelqu’un d’autre quelques minutes après le premier accident.

@bmallred@staystrong.run No I was trying the other one I got from logs, it’s missing the /user subdirectory:

"GET /twtxt.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 27110 "-" "nahongvita/0.1.0 (+https://staystrong.run/bmallred/twtxt.txt; @bmallred)"

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net Not anymore LOL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It looks like this one actually reads the robots.txt … it did a couple of times over the past few weeks.

“GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1” 304 0 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.0; +https://openai.com/gptbot)”

@bender@twtxt.net well… reading through This I can but wonder if it is defending anything at all…

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, that’s just sad! I’d hoped it would be as much of nice experience as it is around here…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve been using Qwant for a while but it was down earlier today (as well 😆) so I switched back to my trusty Searx Redirector

… This utility forwards your search query to one of 11 random volunteer-run public servers to thwart mass surveillance.

Hello @bmallred@staystrong.run I hope you’re doing well.
I dunno if it’s normal, but it seems like I am unable to access your twtxt.tx file… 😅

Oh Look!! There’s a Twtxt #IRC channel ! 😃

@bender@twtxt.net yes! That’s how I ended up doing it after a bit of trial and error with a couple of VMs 👍

Holly insert inappropriate word here ! 🤣 I have finally done it !!!

FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0 releng/14.0-n265380-f9716eee8ab4: Fri Nov 10 05:57:23 UTC 2023

Welcome to FreeBSD!

% pkg update
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]:

A freshly installed #FreeBSD Over SSH, thanks to mfsBSD !

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just discovered @thecanine@twtxt.net and @iolfree@tilde.club ’s feeds. I believe you already know of them 👍

Ouiiiiii… two more interesting feeds to follow! 🤩
Hi everyone!

Wait a minute! Nyxt browser can surf gopher, gemini aaaaaand http!? 😲

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have this one as per some article I read some time ago… But just like the robots.txt I don’t think you have any grantee that it would be honored, you might even have a better chance hunting for and blocking user-agents.

@prx@si3t.ch there is this ImageGoNord thing I’d found reading an Eww Bar article a couple of months ago… It lets you convert a wallpaper/image to conform to a color pallet, hope you fine it useful.

@prologic@twtxt.net Wait! That’s actually a Mastodon(.)social one! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL fare enough! I’ll keep that in mind fir future twts … I hope invidious instances are ok 🤣

Sorry not sorry ranger…

SuperFile a Pretty fancy and modern terminal file manager written in #go.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks! I’ll definitely need it !!

… So it’s gonna be either a:

• Find a way to do a Chroot install a la Chad Arch Linux way, on a portion of the disk space while I’m Ssh-ing in and then whip out the old debian installation if all goes well.
  
• or a YOLO automated/unattended install.
  

Either way, I’m ready to deal with the eff up! Because I’ve never done none of that before… 😂

What’s all of this about? one may ask…

Well I’ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD… It doesn’t matter. I just want to “Make it feel… Make it feel alive AGAIN!”

I’ve ripped off it’s GPU about a year ago to rescue another computer … Now I’m stuck with only SSH to play with it. Since it came with just a VGA port for display and my monitor takes all but THAT!

Planning a file back up from an old machine that’s been sitting in the corner gathering dust… Because I know ! I’m about to eff it up, BIIIIG Time ! 😂

@mckinley@mckinley.cc I’ve just given it a try and built a signal desktop AppImage from source, since they only distribute deb packages… I’m actually quite impressed! 👍✨

@movq@www.uninformativ.de imagine remapping them to reboot and shutdown instead. That would be fun, wouldn’t it? 😂

Good night Twtxt!

/me have to get some sleep before loosing a leg or two to cramps … fatigue is real! 😅

Sweaty hands + A touch screen = A Huge pain in the butt 😫 … I gotta find that OTG ASAP!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m personally using the android app as is. Didn’t set up my own notifications server, the default one works just fine I guess.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de can’t Ntfy help with that? That’s how I get my signal notifications (I think).

This guide may me of help…
Good luck!

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh! sorry about that! I’m ok with signal.

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to but couldn’t. Also, I was prompted to resend the email elsewhere… Will do in a minute. 👍
