@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Those are some really nice shots. I mean, the cat and also the shots themselves. Which cam is that? (Don’t tell me it’s an iPhone, that’d be boring. 😂)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Very nice 👍

I really dig #caturday on the Fediverse, so I thought I would start doing it here as well.

For this week, I’d like to introduce my spirit animal, Bowie.

May his supreme laziness (and fuzzy-chunky-monkey cuteness) serve as an inspiration to you, too.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … this reminds me that I should finally write that tutorial on how to make your own X11/Wayland keymaps. That helps a lot in mitigating stupid design issues like these.

@bender@twtxt.net This shit is back. But with SSHFS instead of SMB now. SMB is still fucked for no reason. Let’s see, when it explodes.

I should have changed the key binding from Print to Shift+Print a long time ago to launch import and upload the screenshot to my server. I was constantly hitting that stupid key on accident when I actually wanted to press [AltGr].

If I only could map a key binding to slap these damn ThinkPad T15 keyboard layout designers at Lenovo remotely in the face. Seriously, who in their right mind puts Print (in German Druck) between AltGr and Ctrl at the bottom row to begin with?! Exactly. Nobody. What a horrible location.

@tftp@tilde.town Please elaborate. 😅

@tftp@tilde.town hey, my pleasure! Have a great weekend! I am going to off for a few days to do a whole lot of nothing. Can’t wait! 😂

@kiwu@twtxt.net Wuuiii, what to do with all this free time suddenly!? Wait, what? Free time? Nah, nevermind. Now, the time begins where it gets even worse once you start a fulltime job. Congratulations, mate! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t worry, the agents will forget everything for them. Ehh…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That certainly paid for itself.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, great!

I did the live-preview thing now:

https://movq.de/v/120a8db205/vid-1779458258.mp4

Also shows the old value for comparison.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Hooray, congratz 🥳

Reached a new high score on “River Raid” on the Atari800 emulator.

Overall, a most productive night. 😁

@kiwu@twtxt.net Whoohoo! Congrats!!! 🙌

Ah, there’s even a term for it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_effect

The generation effect is a psychological phenomenon whereby information is better remembered if it is generated from one’s own mind rather than simply read.

hfgl with your coding agents

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this is taking too long, we miss our photo dosage! Please out that support, I shall give them hell.

@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! 👋

I just realized that this book, which I’m still using as a reference every now and then, is from 2005.

In other words, it’s over 20 years old now. 😬

https://movq.de/v/8736860b1a/utlk.jpg

@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 😅

And editing bytes as a binary number: https://movq.de/v/4c3617bbd1/vid-1778939973.mp4

I don’t need this feature that often. Maybe it would be nice to have a live-preview of the new value in hex/dec. We’ll see.

This is probably a better demo: https://movq.de/v/71218c59b2/vid-1778924229.mp4

Progress: My hex editor how has undo and redo. https://movq.de/v/3af465b29a/vid-1778918267.mp4

@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.)
