@bender@twtxt.net I’m glad to announce that Lyse’s Free Nose Cleaning Service is now internationally available.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats! :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de There is nothing like that on Linux, because you don’t need it. Everything just works!
@bender@twtxt.net Haha! Thanks. The broken avatar was a Me and my Hotlinking policy problem, It should be fixed by now. And I Freaking love the twtxt.app by the way. Cheers!
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com That’s Halo? I don’t think I ever saw that in person … 🤔
So many good memories on Lockout. Something about this map always gives me cozy feelings.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I got coffee coming out of my nose on this one. 🤣
One day, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, one day!
Windows NT 4 didn’t have a Device Manager. You know, this thing right here that got introduced with Windows 95:
https://movq.de/v/1b8e044aaa/s.png
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.)
@prologic@twtxt.net Very nice! Which boat is yours? :-)
@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!
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me THIS! … has been my daily mantra, for at least 8 months; and I’m still waiting for some Magic™ to happen.
@prologic@twtxt.net Oohhhhhhhh, lovely. 😍
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right now it 16C and 8.30PM
@prologic@twtxt.net That looks nice! What’s the temperature?
@arne@uplegger.eu Really?! Wow! 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net You have trees at the campsites Down Under? That’s really luxur! 🎩
Everywhere I’ve been (Europe) they chopped down the trees - no shadow - nowhere.
Just a couple of shots of where were staying 👇 
FYi 👋 I’m aware of an optimist precomputed hashing bug on the new twtxt.app 🤯 Trying to work with @bender@twtxt.net remotely on my vacation yo fix it 🤣
@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 )
As an example, this is a thread @GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com’s Arcade@gabesarcade.com and @david@daiwei.me carried all on twtxt.app, no issues: https://twtxt.net/conv/r4uf52ggwseh
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure there is a bug somewhere, but where?
Movies and TV are moving in this direction too, but at least for now, I can still access a lot of movies and shows on discs (especially from my local library). I can also make backups of my shows and movies if I have the discs available. As time goes on, new tools become available to preserve physical games. Physical games at least gives the chance of future preservation in a world where digital is locked behind DRM- assuming the full game is on the disc.

Okay, wow. Windows NT 4 wasn’t part of my timeline back then, so this is the first time I’m seeing it in action. And this thing came with IE 2, which I’ve also never seen before. (That’s interesting, because I remember using IE even on Win 3.x, but apparently that was already IE 3?)
It also makes me really happy to see my website work in these old browsers. Fullscreen images are “broken” because those are PNG or WebP, but the rest works just fine. 🥳
🕹️ I’m glad Kojima commented on Playstation discontinuing physical discs for games. We need more influential voices speaking up about losing ownership over our media.
For me the problem isn’t necessarily about physical vs. digital - it’s about DRM. I’ll keep harping on this: if you can buy your games on GOG- buy your games on GOG!

Good to know! Absolutely, not a high priority. Enjoy your vacation @prologic@twtxt.net!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh yeah, few people are as persistent as her. That said, it’s really easy to give up. This shit is overwhelming.
@david@daiwei.me as you alter ego, I seriously recommend you stop creating feeds left and right. But whom am I kidding, right?! 😅
I wonder how long will it take to show a follower on twtd. It only shows the feed’s owner, so far.
@prologic@twtxt.net I noticed CORS is not enabled for feeds.twtxt.net - is that by design?

@citizenalex@citizenalex.envs.net Correct.
@arne@uplegger.eu Whoah! „Schaffung eines Aufenthaltsraumes für Nichtraucher!“ Irre, dass es einen solchen vor dem 1. Mai 1975 nicht gab. Kann man sich heute überhaupt nicht vorstellen.
Cool, schönes Heftchen hast Du da gesetzt. :-) Die Lochkartenanzahlen sind auch der absolute Wahnsinn.
I know what’s happening. Will come back later to explain (for @prologic@twtxt.net).
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net Oh, I missed that. Whoopsy daisy!
@kiwu@twtxt.net Hanging on by a thread is plenty good enough for many spiders, so it should be sufficient for you, too!!1!
@arne@uplegger.eu Das “alte” Rechenzentrumsgebäude wurde 2020 leer gezogen und einige Jahre später abgerissen. Einen kleinen Einblick ins Innere gibt es in der URZ-Chronik von 2009.
@bender@twtxt.net nothing good unfortunately!! been hangin on by a thread, how have u been??
Switched my html meta tag to en-GB after reading this blog post
@prologic@twtxt.net Why, thank you. We’re quite pleased with him as well. 😊
@bender@twtxt.net thanks, i’ll keep this in mind!
For today’s (belated) #caturday, here’s a recent pic of our chunky-buddy Bowie in his house at the bottom of the cat tree in the kitchen.
Enjoy!
@bender@twtxt.net Nice! It’s been a while since I’ve watched an old samurai movie. I should throw some up on my jellyfin.
