@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I swear, Her vlog is all I needed to cleanse my soul! Full of pure human interactions (whenever there is any), No BS No pretending and No Nonsense. Again, Thank you!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It was too late when I read the “Addictive” warning… 😆 Thanks for sharing this!

@prologic@twtxt.net I dunno if it’s me or the bridge, but my pleroma instance didn’t pull any of your notes + a follow request got stuck as Request Sent

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can associate your identity to the apex domain with a bit of Webfinger wizardry, but I don’t. Mine are always attached to the sub-domains. I find it easier to migrate between instances that way without risking borking federation.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe yeah, that’s the only reason why I use sub-domains when trying anything federated (I believe Matrix has the same problem), in case things didn’t go as planned I can just migrate and take it down.

@prologic@twtxt.net looks like a tiny green apple to me 😅 … but this site says maybe a Guava

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute… +1 point goes to GTS’s docs. but hey, I’ll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I’m wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven’t seen it yet)

I’m contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people’s past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality …etc felt like handicap for the past N months.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Not sure if you can find a second hand Canon G7X for cheap (it doesn’t have to be a Mark II or Mark III), you might love it. But watch a couple of reviews just to make sure it is/does what you need it for.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t find the exact blog post from before, one that used redirection directives in its nginx config. but I found [this one ](https://melkat.blog/p/unsafe-pricing#:~:text=Something%20else%20I’ve%20been%20doing%20this%20year,%20fine.) mentioning a similar process but done differently.

@prologic@twtxt.net Sweeet! 🥳 enjoy your holiday!

Finally!! I can go to sleep!

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe HAHAHAHAHAH! Hell yeah!!

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve had even requested access to it in order to give it a try and report whatever I can but, Sorry I never got to do any of it. 2025 slam dunked a massive pile of 💩 over my life (hence the disappearance, trying to avoid talking about any of it) and I’m just starting to recover (or at least trying to).

@prologic@twtxt.net The periodic blacklists updates will be done automatically in the background, as for the different processing mechanisms (rules, collections of rules, remediation …etc) you just install/add the pre-made ones from the hub and call it a day, they’ll get periodic updates when needed. But you could easily create and add your own in case you want to block or white-list a specific behavior

PSA: Just in case you start getting 5xxs on my end, I’m not dead 😂 (well, unless I am). Well be changing ISPs and hopefully get the new line up and running before the old provider cuts us off.

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember reading a blog-post where someone has been throwing redirects to some +100GB files (usually used for speed testing purposes) at a swarm of bots that has been abusing his server in order to criple them, but I can’t find it anymore. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it bookmarked somewhere.

@prologic@twtxt.net 😂HAHA, thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net The main thing that I tought of is that whomever is abusing your services must be a well known actor (by range/set of IPs) that got reported by other Crowdsec users. So to my simpleton’s understanding, your reverse-proxy/web server passes the requests by crowdsec for processing, they get banned for $N hours if the source has already been blacklisted by the community or violates any of a set of behavior base rules (and even more hours for repeat offenders); otherwise the requests/responses go as per usual. Not sure if I got things right but this might help paint a better picture of the process.

@prologic@twtxt.net How so? even I (the caveman) am running one 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll create one manually and send you the creds so you can change them as soon as you log in (my instance isn’t set up to send emails). Not sure how you could get access to logs, not even my admin account has that on the admin panel. I just snoop trough the /var/log/* when needed.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d say give crowdsec a try but I know for sure you prefer your own WAF … 😅

This caveman is getting too old for the Internet… 😅 It took me 1 hrs and 50 mins to catch up with what’s been going on my feed.

@prologic@twtxt.net Let me know if you still need an account for testing. My tin-can bandwidth is slow AF but usable if you don’t mind the speed.

Pod is* back up online! Woohooo!! 🥳 (*has been for days)

Is it me or is the we.loveprivacy.club yarn instance down? 🤔 I’ve been getting a 502 the last couple of days.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing these, they look so beautiful!

Specimen 1: A caveman marking his territory:

Not even a Spell checker can fix that ☝️ so … sed -e 's/replay/reply' -e 's/gave/have

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org YES! it must gave felt This good when cavemen discovered Fire! 🔥

@bender@twtxt.net You are totally correct! The thing is: The Caveman within was thinking how minimal can one go before things start to get too uncomfortable? And if cavemen weren’t supposed to be too self-conscious about their spelling, I could have just ssh remote echo "$(date -Is)\tTwt Twt Mother-Lover! 🤣🤣" >> /path/to/twtxt.txt and called it a day.

Just typing twts directly into my twtxt file.

Details:

• Opening my twtxt file remotely using vim scp://user@remote:port//path/to/twtxt.txt
  
• Inserting the date, time and tab part of the twt with :.!echo "$(date -Is)\t"
  
• In case I need to add a new line I just Ctrl+Shift+u, type in the 2028 and hit Enter
  
• In order to replay, you just steal a twt hash from your favorite Yarn instance.
  

It looks tedious, but it’s fun to know I can twt no matter where I am, as long as can ssh in.

Look Ma, I can reply! 🤣🤣🤣

Holly! I thing I might have figured out a way to twt like a true caveman 🤣
The sad thing tho is this caveman will have to cheat a bit in order to replay properly…
(P.S: I hope the multi-lines trick works, if not then F..rog it!)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I guess r/unixporn got themselves a competition xD

@bender@twtxt.net Oh! It’s all good, I was planning on retiring my TheLounge instance anyways and will stick to connecting directly for the occasional chat when needed. Cheers! (Sorry for the belated reply.)

@zvava@twtxt.net This made my day. 🤣🤣🤣 And now I’m very tempted to printing this on a T-shirt 🤣 (It could be my very fist Silk screen print ever)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I tried making an ascii scribble of penguin waving back at you but I gave up halfway through my first try xD … HI! 👋

Thanks @bender@twtxt.net it’s been a long time indeed but, I was here the whole time. Just silent. I just didn’t have much meaningful/worth twting about … /ME flips a bird to life

Yey! I Think we’re back on track. All I was missing was #twtxt2html and a couple of symlincs into ~/bin

Nothing serious! just a sanity check Twt x) ...

Howdy @prologic@twtxt.net !! I missed hanging out the Cool Kids* 🤣 I hope everyone has had a good summer and doing well 🫡

👀

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 🤣 LMAO! this one caught me off guard, I wasn’t expecting THIS

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wait, I should post a picture of my old Walkman and a couple of cassette tapes to verify 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Permaculture should do the trick 😉

ROFL 🤣 I’ve just read from someone on the Fedi, that Bluesky has started asking people for ID

/ME feels like melting fater than a bowl of Icecream. Weeeeee… 🫠😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Heey… Welcome back!! 🫡 How was the trip? I Hope you’ve had a good time!

I was this 🤏 close to buying a couple of baby-cactus plants but, I couldn’t … I still have to save up for that future screen printing project. 🥲
