@prologic@twtxt.net left a few issues for twtxt.app, and some others for twtd.
@GabesArcade@raw.githubusercontent.com you may now change that long ugly feed URL to your own domain, by setting the feed URL to be https://gabesarcade.com/twtxt.txt. You will have to disconnect, and connect again, and perhaps do a “Reset cache”.
🥰 Su cute! Have a nice weekend, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org! I am back at testing the twtxt.app. I think—I think!—it is working fine so far, but a few minutes will tell.
Das Ziehkind hat mir gestern das Kartenspiel SKYJO gezeigt. Ein riesiger Spaß, wie ich finde!
Heute habe ich mir dann in der Stadt selbst die Reiseversion davon geholt.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But but but but but … is that legal?! 😂
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org No piccies of your camp site? 🤔
We slept in the forest. It was really great except of my mate’s fucking terror dog who was barking and snarling the entire night to each and every sound. I had maybe half an hour of sleep in total. Despite that, it was pleasantly warm. Well, the night, that is. The heat was brutal during the days. Literally streams of sweat were running down on us on the way there in the evening and back in the morning.
Surprisingly, there weren’t any mozzies around at night, I would have lost all safe bets. On the way there, my mate convinced me to take a shortcut through the taller and taller growing grass. It’s been some time that somebody traveled on this track, so we had to search around a bit for the overgrown path where we could cross the mostly dried up creek. In the beginning I said that this will be a bad idea. Lo and behold, I discovered a tick on my inner upper leg the next morning. Luckily, I got it out with my tick hook on the first attempt.
@bender@twtxt.net Immediately reminded me of the German children’s song “Laurentia, liebe Laurentia mein”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q0aky9FvLc
Have a nice weekend!
Well, this looks good, I guess: https://movq.de/v/c324c094f9/s.png 🥳
@prologic@twtxt.net Let’s give it a shot! Test!
@bender@twtxt.net Speaking of drawers at the office … this is mine:

Looks a bit sad, eh? 🤣 (Or you could say: Minimalism!)
Fixed the broken hashes in the Twtxt App (https://twtxt.app) 🥳 It was hashing your twts with a client-side timestamp the server never used 🤦♂️ Now it keeps the canonical created/hash the pod (or twtd) returns, and the GitHub/Gitea backends write a # url = preamble so every client hashes your feed the same way. Thanks @fastidious@tilde.town for the report 🙏

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net oh wow, looks like a big crowd, for sure! What was the protest (I am assuming it was a protest) about?
@bender@twtxt.net ok lol! the photo is from a friend, i am a type of a person that doens’t bring the phone to demos. https://klaxzy.net/var/img/demo1.jpg
Happy Friday @bender@twtxt.net 🎉
@klaxzy@klaxzy.net congratulations, but pics or didn’t happen! 😛
@movq@www.uninformativ.de very nice! I appreciate the bigger photos, and am, still, very jealous of your keyboard! 🙈
@movq@www.uninformativ.de that’s supper fitting, and it doesn’t get old! Oh, Seven of Nine… 😍
@bender@twtxt.net Whoohoo!
I organized the list. It has been deleted quite a bit. https://balloon.oldcities.org/twtxt-active-users.txt
@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I have gone years without seeing an unpaved road here. Even on remote, rural areas, lots of roads are paved as well. Roads are fairly clean here too, though I have to admit that Japan excels at that, amongst other things.
@bender@twtxt.net So road conditions really play a role too. Since most Japanese roads are paved with asphalt, Also, the roads are clean. bicycles with tubes are mainstream for cushioning.
@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz many reasons, all of which make sense. Same reason why automobiles today do not have an inner tube either. Now, about bicycles:
Tubeless bicycle tires drastically reduce punctures because internal liquid sealant instantly plugs small holes while you ride. Eliminating the inner tube also removes the risk of “pinch flats,” allowing you to safely run much lower tire pressures. This lower pressure provides superior traction and a noticeably smoother ride on rough surfaces. Finally, without an inner tube rubbing against the tire casing, rolling resistance drops, making your pedaling more efficient.
Bottom line, smoother ride, better traction, less flats.
@bender@twtxt.net Oh my! Japanese bicycles also have tubes. Is it due to differences in road conditions?
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Glad you like what we’ve nuilt up here over many years 🥰
@bender@twtxt.net yeahhh!!!!!!!!!
@marcorocco@roccodrom.de that’s interesting. Not the act itself, nor that you did it for your wife (it is the least you could do, right?). I find it interesting because in the US you can’t find bicycles with inner tubes. The tyre is it, nothing else. Yep, just the tyre.
@kiwu@twtxt.net awesome, that’s what I like to hear! One more day, and it gets even better: weekend!
@bender@twtxt.net I agree. The community size has been really nice and has honestly made me optimistic about the state of the internet. I lot of the sites I used to enjoy visting have become ensh*tified and it was a breath of fresh air to find a part of the web where that feels almost impossible.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m glad you like it. :-)
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com hey, thanks Gabe! One of the things I like the most about twtxt is the community size. We are relatively small. Twtxt users tend to “know” each other better than on the other, much bigger communities. I believe that’s good. Glad to have you around!
Of course, it’s simplicity is part of its strength too!
@bender@twtxt.net I bet that’s true!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de tell me about it! I try to enjoy the time I have available, regardless of being working time, or not. I admit it is quite hard!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org next time I will ask someone to take a pic of me before, and after. You will know hell when you see it!
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh, I totally understand. I also ran it too. I am running twtd as well. So, yeah, eating @prologic@twtxt.net dog food, foh sureh! 🤪
@bender@twtxt.net Nice job! Without the comparison of the after photo, the grass doesn’t look all that tall before. :-D But there sure was one or the other centimeter chopped off.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de What a desaster.
@bender@twtxt.net THX for the explanation.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de hehehehe, I wouldn’t get paid enough to try again. I am “tech support” for wife’s, and that’s already a pain. It is also all I can take (well, I am kind of forced into it 😂).
@movq@www.uninformativ.de yup, yup! Our neighbours spent their $50-60K to build their swimming pools. Our community (73 houses) has 52 pools. Our house is one of the few that doesn’t. They are expensive things, not just to build them, but their maintenance. Ain’t nobody got money for that!
Quem disse que não gosto de “música feliz”? Para esta #musiquinta de “música que te deixa feliz” até vos deixo com uma música que me faz pensar em festas de fadas, cheias de música e bebidas e folia:
#Caprice - Fae Fae Fae Fae Fae Fae
https://caprice-music.bandcamp.com/track/fae-fae-fae-fae-fae-fae-fae
@bender@twtxt.net Ha, I remember these from our trip to Florida ~30 years ago:

Heh, that’s a cute story: https://www.osnews.com/story/145459/you-paid-me-a-long-time-linux-user-to-use-windows-11-exclusively-for-a-month-heres-how-it-went/
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com good catch! I don’t think that was possibly done by twtxt.app, so the issue I had open on it on @aelaraji@aelaraji.com’s behalf is being closed. Thanks!
@prologic@twtxt.net yes, that pretty much how the rest of the world do it. Not here, my friend. We are “special”. 😂
@bender@twtxt.net LoL down under we just pull a cover over the water at ground level. no famcy ass structure 🤣
@arne@uplegger.eu hahahahaha! They are swimming pool covers, also called lanais. They are to keep leaves, and any other debris, and any wild animals, out of the swimming pool. A swimming pool enclosure, pretty much.
