↳ In-reply-to » Anyone using XMPP? I've been hearing a lot about how it is the OG messaging protocol. That G00gle Talk used to use it as a back-end, that FB messanger and w_hatsapp use some modified version of it or something; And that setting up a server (or even using a public one) would be a better alternative to the aforementioned apps, so I did. Now the question is: "Where the Fu__ are my video calls at!!? 🤣" ... The protocol supports videoconferencing and I'm yet to find a decent Desktop/Mobile client that implements it. I wish I knew enough Code-Fu to contribute/help implement some, somewhere.

@arne@uplegger.eu You have Matrix at work? No Teams, Google Chat, Slack, Discord, whatever, but Matrix? Really? Where do you work, is this Socialist Russia?!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org How many people are still using XMPP? 🤔 I’d expect the number to just as low as IRC users? 🤔

↳ In-reply-to » Also, if bots/spsiders hit your feed, they are showing as followers. Certainly not true. Right now I am blocking all bots, but that’s not the proper approach, I think.

@bender@twtxt.net Please create an issue for this too! Probably against twtd right? We should validate new fetchers and see if they are real clients or not. I think yarnd already does ybis quite well? 🧐

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org simplified it a little bit. Using only *bot* will bring collateral damage I want to avoid (there are, still some “good” bots):

@aibots {
      header_regexp User-Agent (?i)(GPTBot|ChatGPT|OAI-Search|anthropic|Claude|Google-Extended|FacebookBot|CCBot|Perplexity|Applebot-Extended|cohere|Omgili|Bytespider)
}
abort @aibots

↳ In-reply-to » And if we can compile a list and file issues for feeds, twtxt.app and anything else as issues for when i get back 🙏 feature requests, bug reports. etc 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net I linked you some of my findings on the twtxt.app on IRC. The main problem is the hashing. Totally broken. But you have got to give it some thought, because GitHub hosting of the feed is tricky (even more so if they are CNAMEing their domain to it). It is also finicky because Pages is auto-enabled on username.github.io, so actions must run each time you twt.

↳ In-reply-to » Very hot above 30°C, but luckily also incredibly cloudy and a lot of wind. That's what we got today. My mate and I went on a quick stroll this evening and got a surprise killer sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-07-07/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 07, right there, is my favourite. That’s not to say I don’t like the rest. I love them all! I don’t think I would ever get tired of enjoying that view, each and every day. 😍

@david@daiwei.me Some entries can be probably simplified with just *bot*. :-) (But I don’t use Caddy, so no idea about case (in)sensitivity.

That reminds me, I should do something similar with my Nginx.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I do use XMPP. But only the text chat part. ;-)

Windows NT 4 didn’t have a Device Manager. You know, this thing right here that got introduced with Windows 95:

And that’s super awkward in NT4.

You know what doesn’t have a Device Manager, either? Linux. Why? 🤔 Isn’t this one of the most useful system tools? It gives you an overview of the devices in your system and tells you which driver is used for them. Linux could really use such a tool, I think? 🤔

(There are programs like “hardinfo” and I remember ancient KDE providing such a tool, but they’re all an afterthought. Hardly integrated into the overall system.)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com wow, look who the cat dragged in! 😂 I was thinking about you just yesterday, when testing the twtxt.app, and seeing your avatar photo broken. And today, here you are! Nice to “see” you mate!

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com The no-JS part is one thing, but you also have to disable the (nowadays common) forced-HTTP-to-HTTPS-redirect, because those old browsers can’t do modern crypto. And make sure that your webserver serves the correct page even if no Host header is sent by the client. And don’t even think about serving UTF-8 or even just putting utf-8 in the content type. 😅 And for the JPEG thumbnails I pass a special flag to ImageMagick so that IBM Web Explorer from OS/2 won’t trip. 🤣 And always use link rel="stylesheet" for CSS, because some browsers render inlined CSS as literal text. And … probably more that I forgot by now. 😂

@david@daiwei.me Not sure, actually. Let’s see. Those are the ones where I still have the original disks (or have bought them on eBay again):

  • SuSE Linux 6.4 (it’s a massive 7 CD distro with a huge manual, best thing ever)
  • OS/2 2.1
  • OS/2 Warp 3 (red and blue spine because $reasons)
  • OS/2 Warp 4
  • PC DOS 7
  • MS-DOS 6.22
  • Windows 3.1
  • Windows for Workgroups 3.11
  • Windows 95 C
  • Windows 98
  • Windows NT 4 Workstation (still in the mail, though 😅)
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP Professional (last Windows I ever used on my private PCs)

(Plus a few “classic” office products as can be seen here: https://movq.de/blog/postings/2024-05-23/0/POSTING-en.html )
