@tftp@tilde.town you say that like it is a bad thing. It is not! 😅 Once you have learned your way around, all works together quite lovely. Of course, experimenting with new clients is fun too!

@prologic@twtxt.net Bloated websites? Naaaaah, that’s unheard of. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de are you sure it’s the browser is getting slow or is it website developers adding more more crap to their sites?

@arne@uplegger.eu All the flavors, all at once! 😅

@arne@uplegger.eu looks beautiful. I mean, look at those colours! Ahh, warm baguette, yes! Yet, you lost me at herring fillet. 🤭

@tftp@tilde.town Hello 👋

@tftp@tilde.town Greetings and salutations! 👋

@arne@uplegger.eu (Mixing lovely fruit with bitter things like olives or cheese is something that only Germans do, right? 😅)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, that was an interesting debugging session. :-) (Those have become rare, lately …)

@arne@uplegger.eu In der Tat ein Klassiker. Mjam, mjam!

@arne@uplegger.eu OK, I am hungry now, thank you very much! LOL.

@tftp@tilde.town mentioning in here requires he whole shebang. With jenny, if using vim, there is a key combination:

Nick name completions: Allows you to use ^X ^U to turn verbatim nick names into full twtxt mentions. For example, typing “cath” and then pressing ^X ^U will turn “cath” into a full mention, like “@”. (This function will read the contents of your “~/.config/jenny/follow” file.)

See: https://movq.de/git/jenny/file/vim/README.html

Interesting read on the ECONNRESET saga, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Thanks for the writeup! <3

@tftp@tilde.town tango foxtrot tango papa, welcome! 🤭

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks!

@tftp@tilde.town Apparently you can. 😅 Welcome. 👋

Welcome @tftp@tilde.town, I just found you in my access log. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, that’s cool! Un- and redo are absolutely valuable features.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I fear that you are right.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep, that’s what I’m going for. 😃 I mean, I don’t want to make an exact clone, just catch some of the DOS vibe.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool! reminds me of MS-DOS and Norton Commander back in the ye ‘ol days 😅

@kiwu@twtxt.net Doing well thank you! 🙏 Playing the Brisbane Open this weekend, Table Tennis 🏓

@kiwu@twtxt.net all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. :-D Doing well, how about you? Anything exciting and new?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com pretty cool how far you have taken this! Exciting to see how it continues to mature. Which reminds me, @zvava@twtxt.net… where are thou? :-D

I’m pleased to announce that express-twtkpr (my ExpressJS library for hosting, editing, and posting to a twtxt.txt file) continues to crawl towards a full release with another (pre-alpha) update published to NPM. This update includes a whole new plugin system, and even a (little) more documentation. Check it out, if you dare (and use it at your own risk): https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-twtkpr

And speaking of plugins, here’s where the fun’s at: announcing express-twtkpr-core-plugins, a set of 3 plugins for your TwtKpr install: emojiButton, uploadButton, and postToMastodon. Like express-twtkpr, this set of plugins is still in pre-alpha, and lacks documentation, examples, tests, installation flexibility, or polish (so also use them at your own risk). Other than that, they work great: https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-twtkpr-core-plugins

Stay tuned for more! 🤘

@bender@twtxt.net I sound like I’m dumping on the game, but it really is alot of fun, especially with the right people. It’s just a whole different beast from D&D.

@bender@twtxt.net Apologies, I’m still working through some layout issues with TwtStrm and frequently miss mentions…

Magic: the Gathering does not use a Game Master (although professional referees are often used in sanctioned events). While the game has alot of thematic crossover with with D&D (or fantasy games in general), the system is much more of an abstract, card-dueling system involving things like “the stack” and insanely specific rules on card timing and interactions.

Like, we joke about “I’m sending my army of (goblins / elves / angels / whatever) at you,” but that’s about as far into the “role-playing” element most magic games get in my experience (and most of the “official” competitive games I’ve played at my FLGS were even more abstract and less thematic, although it’s been years since I played in one of those).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL! That’s brilliant. (We’re going back to that. Some Amazon employees probably already are.)

Hi twtxt

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 100% agree. We’re driving straight into a wall at full throttle. Doing it with a clear warning.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Apropos shit: I did not know about the history of Scheißtag. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schei%C3%9Ftag

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

So, it’s plenty good enough for them.

Yeah, but on the other hand, you can’t even log in normally to a Matrix/Element account. I mean using username + password. It’s not expected that you ever log out or lose your browser session. If you do, you must use a one-time backup code (that you must create and save beforehand) to log in again.

To be fair, I can’t say that I fully understand what Matrix is doing in the first place. The text that I quoted reads like they have your keys. But they also claim that they only store this stuff encryped: https://element.io/en/help#encryption5 So … encrypted with what? Only option here is my password, isn’t it? (But if my password was good enough to reclaim an account … why do all the other stuff …)

Matrix takes end-to-end encryption seriously. When I ran a Matrix server for the family, the family members would regularly lose their keys, because they didn’t pay attention to something. That’s on purpose! Or rather, that was on purpose. Maybe it’s different these days?

No clue.

Oh no, speedy recovery, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I was down for one day on Saturday. Vomiting through the nose. Not entirely sure what that was, but I reckon something in the food poisoning or sunstroke realm.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh my goodness, hahaha!

To be fair, it depends on your threat model. And I believe it’s very safe to bet that most probably don’t have one. Nor even remotely know what that is. So, it’s plenty good enough for them.

With that new to me detail on top, there’s even less incentive to look at this Matrix hype more closely.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Thanks!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Sick at home. 🤧

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Die Holgi-Sachen sind auch so das einzige, was ich noch mehr oder weniger regelmäßig höre (und mit Spenden versehe). Die langjährige Radio-Moderator-Erfahrung, die da drinsteckt, ist einfach Gold wert. ✨

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, but my description is more accurate 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net ah, yes, the classical “fuck work!” in its verbose form. 😅😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Und da konnte ich nicht widerstehen und hab die Folge doch sogleich angehört. Herrlich, sehr kurzweilig, spannend und lehrreich. In der Tat ganz schön viele Arschgesichter, hihihi. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, cool! Holgi hab ich schon jahrelang nimmer gehört (allgemein Podcasts), das sollte ich schleunigst wieder ändern. Diese Folge scheint mir als Wiedereinstieg nach dem arbeitsreichen Wochenende bestens geeignet. Insbesondere die „Holgi ruft an“-Reihe hab ich in sehr guter Erinnerung.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that https://namecensus.com/ is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, nice. Yeah, I also only know older Giselas. Not sure why that name fell out of fashion this dramatically, though. Be that as it may, this hot greenfinch girl will help to repopularize it again!

@prologic@twtxt.net Cheers 🤪

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, almost everybody sells their soul to some form of devil. So did I. :-D

@bender@twtxt.net I misread that sentence and thought that your first crush was called Gisela, and was like “wait, he’s not that old”.

Turns out, Gisela is a much younger name than I thought:

https://namecensus.com/first-names/gisela-meaning-and-history/

A peak in the late 1970is and late 1990ies? What?

But then it turned out that, in Germany, the popularity dropped rapidly in the late 1950ies, which actually matches my expectations:

https://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/5203-gisela.htm

In other words, some other countries picked up the name Gisela after it had already faded away in Germany.

What a fun rabbit hole. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org love the name! That’s the name of one my childhood first crush’s mum. LOL. And now she is a lovely bird! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you. I just got very lucky, though. Anyway, let me introduce you to Gisela. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org your wildlife photography is getting much better! Got to name them, what do you think? Too early? :-)
