“I'm so embarrassed. I wish everybody else was dead.”

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev it seems your GtS has issues:

Warning! It looks like trusted-proxies is not set correctly in this instance’s configuration. This may cause rate-limiting issues and, by extension, federation issues.

If you are the instance admin, you should fix this by adding 10.66.66.1/32 to your trusted-proxies.

In-reply-to » @doesnm I see problems with that, that do not exist on my approach. You could see, example.com/x/bananas/yo.txt, and the feed has no nick. What is the nick?

I mean, since most feeds are named twtxt.txt, following your recommendation, there could be many “twtxt” nicks. 😀

In-reply-to » In the process of temporarily removing and securing all my hard disks. They’ll be turning this building into a construction site for the next weeks/months. Lots of heavy drilling and hammering. Not sure what this means for spinning disks and I’d rather be on the safe side. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am sure they would have been just fine. Should we assume your main driving machine is on solid state?

If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)

Portion of the modified Twitter TOS that goes into effect today (it’s on right now), as summarised (ironically) by Google’s Gemini:

“In simpler terms, this means that when you share your content (like text, images, or videos) on the service, you’re giving the company permission to use it in various ways. They can copy, modify, distribute, and even use it to train their AI models. This includes sharing your content with others and using it on other platforms. You won’t be paid for this, but using the service itself is considered enough compensation.”

Alright. I am—actually, “we” are—out for the next couple of days. Do me a favour and stick some needles on that orange voodoo doll you got—make one, if you don’t!

In-reply-to » Tried migrating to jenny... So seems it not suitable for my phone. Fetch command fetched archived feeds so i have 37k+ entries and mutt hangs for several seconds for loading this. Also i don't like hardcoded paths for config and follow file

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt right, jenny isn’t the problem, it’s your platform of choice. The fetching of archives doesn’t happen all time (once only, right @movq?), but yes, depending on the amount of feeds you follow that first time might take a while.

In-reply-to » Hey, @ I know. Just wondering the kind of apps or software and how you all stay up to date in conversations. Is it through webmentions?

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl you replied to me, but the reply was just an @, nothing else (the whole handle was missing).

There are no web mentions here, and no notifications. It isn’t Mastodon; if you want to see if someone wrote something new, or replied to you, you need to open your client.

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 mind sharing the PDF, to take a look? Some PDF containing text as images, which makes it more difficult to complete the task you want to perform.

In-reply-to » @bender Re that broken thread (#bqor23a). Its the same one. My pod doesn't have the Root Twt: https://twtxt.net/twt/bqor23a => 404 Not Found.

Oh, and I think I said this before, but just in case, fuck Gemini. Hell, fuck Gopher too. Bring on telnet, and UCCP. 😈
