In-reply-to » Been curious to see if can filter out my access.log file and output a list of my twtxt followers just in case I've missed someone ... I came up with this awk -F '\"' '/twtxt/ {print $(NF-1)}' /var/log/user.log | grep -v 'twtxt\.net' | sort -u | awk '{print $(NF-1) $NF}' | awk '/^\(/' spaghetti monster of a command and I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way for achieving the same thing.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I’ve played with it for a bit and read through the code hoping I could steal some of your regex. I’m trying to up my awk(1p) game but failing miserably. 😆

I remember having seen one somewhere but can’t remember where.

In-reply-to » Feels like my days of browsing YouTube for content are numbered. It's only a matter of time before YouTube refuses to load for any browser with an ad blocker.

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net have the Invidious instances (alternative front-end to the platform) stop working? Otherwise, I have just figured my way around navigating PeerTube content and I wouldn’t even miss it if YT had to disappear from the internet.

In-reply-to » So, we need a computer for house (that is, wife and I) usage. We have none, we rely on our pocket computers. I would like to fill the void with the recently announced Mac mini. What technique could I use with an already stressed out wife, to accomplish this goal? 😅

@david@collantes.us How much of a computer does it have to be? Would a ZimaBoard do the trick? I don’t have a wife, so I wouldn’t know any better 😅

In-reply-to » What are peoples #IRC setup? Do you have your own bouncer server or just have a you computer always on? And do you IRC on mobile?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I’ve been using weechat for a while then when I started learning my way around Emacs I switched to Circe … a couple months later I setup ZNC, rolled with it for some time but wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with it. Now I’m mainly using TheLounge and do find it convenient accessing it from anywhere. but quite honestly, I don’t have a preference.

In-reply-to » Feeling suspicious about a little something and I, don't like it -the feeling- a bit. Maybe I'm just being paranoid... but most probably I'm just being an ignorant judgemental piece of shit and I hate myself for it already.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, sorry about that, I shouldn’t have put something like that out there in the fist place. It started as a completely different twit then I got overwhelmed noticing that I may have became the exact same thing I despise the most 🤦

In-reply-to » I'm not even supposed to do be doing any of this, I should be making stuff* with Shapes, forms and color instead of poking at software with a stick like a caveman. 😆

Alas, I can’t get myself to resist. Interacting with tech and software makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop: “I wanna taste all of it! Find my favorite Lollipop and wonder about where it came from, who made it? How is it possible to turn any kind of mushy juicy fruit into a hard, forever lasting candy in a freaking stick!? Oh, Wait!! Is THAT chocolate over there!!?”

In-reply-to » Yeah I know! My ship was sinking and I've just noticed. Patched up the holes and now we're back afloat.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Although my recent breakage/down time was more of a result of human error than it is something to blame on software itself, I do get your point; and will highly probably end up going the same route in the near future. It’s just that in order to south my forever itching curiosity, I have to learn and try some things first.

In-reply-to » @aelaraji And pray tell/share with us what these magical commands do? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure!! gg=G auto-indents your documents, as for the rest it’s:

  • v for selection mode, c for change and d for delete actions as usual.
  • followed by either ‘afor around ori` for inside/in-between whatever special character comes after it
    _ the [, (, “ … special characters define the perimeter/extent of the action.

i.e: ci" would be change the text under the cursor between quotes and da[ _delete text and brackets included_

I’ve linked a reference in the first twt, hope you find it useful.

In-reply-to » Learned to gg=G and to va", ci", di{... in vim the other day 😆 Life will never be the same, I can feel it. ref

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah, that’s the thing! I’ve been trying to learn more vim motions and I just can’t get myself to remember any… Now I have that cheat sheet bookmarked, I can look them up on the need to know basis.

This Zen-Browser is actually not bad! 🤯

  • Based on Firefox instead of Chromium.
  • Got tiling pans when you need them… (just like a tiling window manager).
  • I can hide the Tabs and Nav-Bar with a single short-cut!! AKA Compact Mode …

In-reply-to » Did Apple Just Kill Social Apps? Apple's iOS 18 update has introduced changes to contact sharing that could significantly impact social app developers. The new feature allows users to selectively share contacts with apps, rather than granting access to their entire address book. While Apple touts this as a privacy enhancement, developers warn it may hinder the growth of new social platforms. Nikita Bier, a start-up founder, called it "the en ... ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » Gentlemen, I have a pdf file (1.5MB) which I want to be able to block and copy text writing out of it, but it's locked, preventing this. All I used to do was write it out by hand, or screen shot the text as an image. Is there any software that opens pdf format for copying and pasting of the text?

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I gave it a try, unfortunately it’s a scanned document (just a bundle of Images), the only real text in there, is the first two pages.
