[2025/09/11 12:56:01.816] ⇒  please set config.host when trying to run "bbycll". How to bypass that tiny hurdle?
      
    
    
    
    Woot, thank you! Using a config.json like this:
{
  "host": "localhost:31212",
  "protocols": ["http"]
}
Indeed did the trick! I know it isn’t production ready, but I wanted to see with my own eyes, locally, how did it look. :-) I like where you are going! It is looking very nice, and polished. Can’t wait for an alpha, beta, and release!
@zvava@twtxt.net it is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time. Take time to sleep, though! :-)

@zvava@twtxt.net I gave this, in my mind, a like/star/love.
Yes, I know, this is a “bad taste” joke. I appreciate you, @thecanine@twtxt.net!
@thecanine@twtxt.net or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂
The image needs to be an absolute URL, and some tags are missing. Almost there!
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it is not showing for me, on a validator. Missing something?
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz all @prologic@twtxt.net has to do is to allow <details> and the subset under it. Granted, it could be implemented on the formatting toolbar too…
Something like this, for example.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org a content warning is a way to tell the audience the content they are about to see is (or might be) shocking, or unsuitable, or unlikable. The audience can then chose to see it, or not. You know, akin of movies stating:
“Warning: The following film contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.”
@zvava@twtxt.net wow, this is a full change, and looking very, very, very good! I am ready to test it. 🙈
@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! 🙏🏻

    They don’t want to miss anything you might write. And got to know it instantly! 😅
Listen missy, don’t you disappear on us like that again, do you hear me?! 😂 Welcome back, kat! I was wondering where you were, but figured something more interesting was keeping you busy. 🙈
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wouldn’t the PDF version be better? https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.pdf
@zvava@twtxt.net oh duh! Sorry, I promised I read, my brain just didn’t process it right. I shall follow your progress, and offer bits and pieces of unrequested trivialities. :-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oi, at least you still have weather services. We are soon to find ourselves looking at birds, ants, etc., to get a grasp. 😅
On a weather related topic, we get rains almost each day, mid-afternoon/late-afternoon. That’s great, because I love rain, but I also need to mow the wilderness in the back of the house, and the front lawn. So, yeah, kind of a conundrum.
@zvava@twtxt.net may I recommend to change the mention format upon hitting reply to something similar to what it’s used in Yarn, and perhaps hiding the hash on the post too? Looking good!
Hmm: gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-08/2025-08-18--permacomputing.txt
That’s fairly recent, but fully justified. I give up! :-D
I should have checked the CHANGELOG first. LOL.
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com, hi there! Welcome to the twtverse! It seems you have a typo on your site address, an extra “c”.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I noticed that:
gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-06/2018-06-01.txt
Is the first non-justified, and it is when you started using Markdown. The last justified one was:
gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-05/2018-05-27.txt
So, I might have found the mystery! :-D
Haha, fun! I browsed your gopher hole a little bit. I noticed some entries are fully justified (formatting), while others are not. I didn’t notice a pattern, though it makes sense not to use justification on entries with code. Yet, some prose entries are, and some are not. A mystery. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de that works! Reading! :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de getting:
3Invalid request.       Error   Error   0 
On that address.
For those not on Gemini, a proxy provides more insides on such, hmm, interesting acronym. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de one can dream, for sure. I miss all the Pope and Medici series, all gone. And that’s just a start.
Enjoy! This is a longer weekend for us too (Labor Day), and even longer for me, as I have asked for Tuesday off. Yayyyyy! I will not be drinking (I voluntarily stopped drinking anything with alcohol in it), but I will try to get a few things done, and then relax.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de dear lord. “I really need that feature!” — said no one. 🙄
@dce@hashnix.club is it not duplicated. Well, at least not now.
@thecanine@twtxt.net I think Google’s Android is as vanilla as it can be, coming from the “source”. The bloatware is more often than not vendor’s provided, no? I don’t consider Google apps and services bloatware, but an intrinsic part of the Android “vanilla” experience.
@dce@hashnix.club twtxt is quite light, and trouble-free. Welcome! I also run an ActivityPub server, but yeah, more often around here than there.
@dce@hashnix.club I don’t use Gemini, but I follow you on the good, old, HTTP(S)! :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net, the very first sentence addresses something that needed to be addressed. Maybe tech savvy people will not have these issues, but many non-tech savvy people (and old people) I know has had, and has, cyclically, a myriad of malware, pestware, etc., issues on their Android based phones. It is a wild-west.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ooooh! I wish I had that mallet here at work today. So many uses come to mind! 😂
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you have sent me down the rabbit hole now. That guy is a true wizard!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s so cool! I had to do some research, as I thought all pallets were made using cheap pine wood (which is quite soft), but, boy, as I erring big time! Oak it is also used, which is hardwood, and quite durable.
/29 IPv4 subnet with my ISP used to power my ingress. No longer.
      
    
    
    
    I use Headscale. Love it!
@prologic@twtxt.net ahh! You are talking to yourself again. 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net slightly off topic, what’s the URL for the feed you replied to? I must have muted it. 😅

    Was that costing you money? If so, 🥳!
curl -s gopher://… does that for you.
      
    
    
    
    @movq@www.uninformativ.de nice “silent mode”, thank you!
The author doesn’t really long for retro. They long for time passed, for old times. We all do. It is called ageing.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de having to go to a gopher proxy to see a text document better served on readily available web servers… 🤭, but I digress. Verbatim text:
What's Missing from "Retro"
~softwarepagan
------------------------------------------------------------------
You know, often, when I say I miss older ways of computing or
connecting online, people tell me "there's nothing stopping you
from doing that now!" and they are technicay correct in most cases
(though I can't, for example, chat with friends on MSN ever
again...) However, let me explain that while this type of thing can
*sort of* fill that hole in my heart, it isn't *the same.*
Say, for example, I wanted to connect with others over a BBS. This
wouldn't offer the same types of connections it used to. While
there are BBSes around with active users, they're no longer there
to discuss movies, Star Trek, D&D, games, etc. They're there to
discuss *BBSes.* The same can be said for Gopher, old-school forums
and all sorts of revival projects (such as Escargot, Spacehey,
etc.) Retrocomputing enthusiasts, while they have a variety of
interests, are often in these spaces to discuss the medium itself
and not other topics. This exists at a stark contrast from how
things were in the past, where a non-tech-inclined person may learn
the tech to connect with likeminded others (as I did as a
Zelda-obsessed kid.)
The same can be said of old media. People will say "well, nobody is
stopping you from watching old shows/movies now!" Again, they are
technically correct. I can go home right now and watch *Star Trek:
The Next Generation* to my heart's content. It will never again,
however, be current, or new. When something is new, it serves as a
shared cultural experience. Remember how "Game of Thrones* felt in
the mid-to-late 2010s? Yeah, that.
It's sad. I sustain myself on a mixed diet of old things, new
things, and new things intended for old millenials like me who like
old things. It can be bittersweet. 
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you will have to agree, though, that Yarn has contributed to make it possible to mass adopt (with its many glitches, bugs, and all) because, still, the web is king.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, I think something glitched at my end for a brief moment. It does it just fine.
Oh, holy crap, it just did it now! 🤯
How do you get your man pages to hyphenate? Mine doesn’t do it.
