@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.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I can’t take credit for that word, that was a @bender@twtxt.net original. However, I did hashtag it on Masto in hopes of possibly inspiring someone to learn about what truly decentralized social media looks like (and maybe even come join us). 😊
@movq@www.uninformativ.de we found a bug. @prologic@twtxt.net loves it!
@bender@twtxt.net “Twt could not be found” 😢
@bender@twtxt.net I, too, should take a nap now.
@bender@twtxt.net For fork’s sake!
@david@raw.githubusercontent.com your fork worked, and this is a fork, of your fork. Let’s fork’em!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Indeed! No idea why this isn’t the default in the first place.
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Twtxthashgeddon, hahahaha, brilliant. :-D
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Haha! I’m glad you like it! 🤣 I ummed and arrred over the set of publishing backends it should support, and in the end decided to support Yarn, Github/Gitea and twtd. I hope that’s enough and flexible enough for most folks 🤞
What a week!
It looks like I mostly missed the #twtxthashgeddon (so happy belated twtxthashgeddon day, to those who celebrate), although I’m glad that twtxt-lib appears to have come through it more-or-less unscathed.
Also, today is (was) July 4th, so happy US Independence Day (to those that celebrate). I didn’t feel much like celebrating, myself, so instead I went and played Magic (results tomorrow).
Finally, today is (now) July 5th, so happy X-Day (to those that celebrate). I can’t help but feel like this would be a great time for the saucers to come…. Just sayin’. 👽
BTW - welcome to twtxt @GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com!
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Ahh you’re welcome bud! 👌
@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt App looks great and is dead-simple to use. You’re on fire! 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net Excellent, thank you for this!
Adding support for forking, forked conversations and navigating back to the root of a thread for the Twtxt App 🤞
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You’re welcome! ☺️
Oh if we’re talking about the twtxt.app client, that’s a different story. I still consider that alpha/beta quality. Lemme look into that. It has it’s own cache of course (using IndexDB) and it’s entirely possible some behaviours are still not quite right yet…
I see the same thing, @prologic@twtxt.net. They will eventually disappear.
