@bender@twtxt.net What’s awesome about it btw? I use WireGuard pretty heavily here. And my entire family also use it to keep a VPN connection back to our home network

In-reply-to » @bender Both Gopher and Mastodon are a way for me to “babble”. 😅 I basically shut down Gopher in favor of Mastodon/Fedi last year. But the Fediverse doesn’t really work for me. It’s too focused on people (I prefer topics) and I dislike the addictive nature of likes and boosts (I’m not disciplined enough to ignore them). Self-hosting some Fedi thing is also out of the question (the minimalistic daemons don’t really support following hashtags, which is a must-have for me).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This was always my belief too re likes, etc.

In-reply-to » Of Pointlessware and CEOs Had a moment, to check up on some of the companies, I stopped following, get to The Browser Company and see their newest product - it's just Chrome, with an AI chat window pop-up and that's it. Something Canary Chrome, come with already. I see Theo from T3.gg, making fun of it on YouTube and promoting "his" product - an AI chat app, where you can choose from multiple models, by all the popular AI companies. Something I already have a worse version of, at work and I don't even use it. There's also an interview, about the future of virtual keyboards, surely this is at least actually a real thing and not more pointless horse shit. I check the website of the keyboard SDK, and it's around 20 identical apps, that just copy the same keyboard SDK/api and slap chatgpt features on top - in the App Store, these are surrounded by chatgpt clones, that just feed the users prompts, into the real thing and put ads, next to the answers.

@thecanine@twtxt.net … all these stupid, pointless “apps” are stuff that I eventually have to remove from family devices … Sigh.

In-reply-to » Gopher server is back online and I’ll be phasing out Mastodon.

@bender@twtxt.net Both Gopher and Mastodon are a way for me to “babble”. 😅 I basically shut down Gopher in favor of Mastodon/Fedi last year. But the Fediverse doesn’t really work for me. It’s too focused on people (I prefer topics) and I dislike the addictive nature of likes and boosts (I’m not disciplined enough to ignore them). Self-hosting some Fedi thing is also out of the question (the minimalistic daemons don’t really support following hashtags, which is a must-have for me).

I’ll probably keep reading Fedi stuff, I just won’t post that much, I think.

In-reply-to » I wanted to port this to Rust as an excercise, but they still have no random number generator in the core library: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/130703

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, it’s difficult, you often don’t get what you’d expect. They also make heavy use of 3rd party libraries. IIUC, for random numbers, they refer to this library. I’ve read many times that the Rust stdlib is intentionally minimalistic (to make it easier to maintain and port and all that).

I’m struggling with this, using 3rd party libs for so many things isn’t really my cup of tea. I’ll probably make my own tiny little “standard library”. It’s silly, but I don’t see any other options. 🤷

In-reply-to » @quark Plot twist: I only drink decaf. 🤯🤯🤯

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I had to look it up! “Is decaf coffee real coffee?”

“Yes, decaf coffee is real coffee. It’s made from the same coffee beans as regular coffee, but the caffeine content is significantly reduced through a decaffeination process. This process involves removing 97% or more of the caffeine, leaving behind the coffee’s flavors and aromas.”

OK then! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Tailscale is awesome! I run Headscale; it replaced my vanilla WireGuard install.

In-reply-to » @lyse those are pretty cool! The one change I would recommend doing pronto is the colour of the hyperlinks. Ay, ay, ay, my retina! :-P

@quark@ferengi.one Ta. Hmm, what’s wrong with the blue text color? Is it too dark on the black background for you? :-?

Normal links are blue while images are teal. I thought I differentiate the two if I easily can. The underline of URLs comes from my terminal and is not tt’s fault.

Configuring colors is in the todo list. But of course, providing a sane default is definitely something I’d like to have.

In-reply-to » I swear that I have muted all the cat's feeds already. Yet, a new(?) one popped up.

@prologic@twtxt.net will do. No worries, not a show stopper. I will suggest that the muted numbered list not be sorted, but latest muted first. That way we have a better idea. Maybe adding timestamps to those too? Just a thought.

In-reply-to » 2024 was okay for me, but 2025 is gonna be real shit. 😂 So much annoying stuff coming up. Gotta enjoy the moment, who knows how long it will last. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Sorry this was my fault 🤦 For whatever reason my pod had never seen that particular Twt from @movq@www.uninformativ.de – And… There’s a bit of a “behavioral” problem with the Trusted Peers functionality that means operators have to periodically re-trust peers manually 😭 Need to rework this 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you have no idea what a soul sucking, heartbreaking SOB 2025 turned out to be. I wish you the best of luck with whatever annoyances life might have thrown your way. Power to you, my friend.
