Good riddance 2024…
2025, be good or else.

Happy new year Twtxt people. I’m grateful for getting to meet/talk to you all, It certainly was the best thing to have happened to me in this “2024” chapter of my life.

@wbknl@twtxt.net adopting the smolweb philosophy for my digital life

@prologic@twtxt.net history is a broad subject! i think you could spend your whole life studying and discussing only the last 500 years. i’ve spent many nights sharing drinks and discussing the finer points of political history and theory with my uni buddies. i doubt that’ll ever get old ^^

Wouldn’t you rather have work and private seperated? Any thought behind this decission? I like tags, like Gmail does it. I still think mail needs a big rethink. It’s too prominent in life, to be this archaic.

Learned to gg=G and to va", ci", di{… in vim the other day 😆 Life will never be the same, I can feel it. ref

Monthly sign of life. We’re good.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that -P is a life saver when running rsync over spotty connections. In my very illiterate opinion, it should always be a default.

The plan is coming together. I am making friends and I’m doing the LA gay shit. I’m going outside, I’m getting laid. I’m like a real person. I have an old friend back in my life even.

my whole life, i’ve been leaving things behind. venturing far away from everything that i know. these days, i’m trying to find connections that i can still rekindle, mend, and remember. this is much much harder than what i was used to

@bender@twtxt.net 404 could be indeed a temporary error if the file resides on a mounted remote filesystem and then the mount point fails for some reason. With a symlink from the web root to the file on the mount, the web server probably will not recognize the mount point failure as such. Thus, it might not reply with a 503 Service Unavailable (or something like that), but 404 Not Found instead. (I could be wrong on that, though.)

The right™ way is to signal 410 Gone if the feed does not exist anymore and will not come back to life again. But that’s hard to come by in the wild. Somebody has to manually configure that in almost all situations.

But yes, as @falsifian@www.falsifian.org points out, exponential backoff looks like a good strategy. Probably even report a failure to users somehow, so they can check and potentially unsubscribe.

Transformed four kilograms of blackberries into a bit over three kilograms of blackberry jelly. https://lyse.isobeef.org/brombeergelee-2024-08-19/ The leftover jelly did not fit in prepared canning jars, so I dumped it in a regular drinking glass (which was a mustard glass in its former life): The rest is cooling off on the bench outside.

Ça fout les boules :) Your Life in Weeks — Wait But Why | https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html

Morphotrophic by Greg Egan is built around an idea for how life on Earth could have worked out differently. It gets increasingly strange and interesting as the story progresses. My partner and I finished it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The beginning is free online: https://gregegan.net/MORPHOTROPHIC/00/MorphotrophicExcerpt.html #scifi #reading

Life is as beautiful as it is complex. Argh…

@bender@twtxt.net LOL! Been there, done that! I can go on for weeks without any of it. Not even a phone, I don’t have that many responsibilities to need one on me all the time. Life is much simpler like that.

treadmill due to life. damn pain between miles 4 and 5. nothing the day before and nothing afterwards so maybe that is a good sign things are turning around.

John Wall didn’t own a sampler until he was 40. Life can go ways, it’s good to remember.

“the decline of being into having, and having into merely appearing”

I arrived at a phase of life where waking up after 6:30 feels late.

Today I have a feeling of déjà vu except it’s a nightmare and it’s happening in real life.

The last entry in my voice memos is a 436 minute mp3 recording documenting a period in the life of my pants pocket.

@eapl.me@eapl.me the 24th of June 2002 was a pivotal year in my life.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org They sure are silly at times. :-) You really have to combine this event with something else, like learning a new language. Otherwise it gets boring real quick.

What I absolutely love about AoC is that it’s – indeed – a bit like school. 😅 The problems are well-defined, the inputs are well-defined, and there is a definite answer. It’s either right or wrong – period. Compared to real life and work, I welcome this very much. 🤣

Reading The School Of Life by Alain De Botton, Page 65

Never in my life will I understand why Americans bleep out curse words. 🤔

Wondering that part of the charm and attraction of Christmas markets could come from a common nostalgia towards every day street markets in towns and a longing for more outside social life during the cold, clammy Winter days.

I hope this weekend I get my life back on track

I hope today will be the weekend I get my life back on track

Nobody is safe. Nothing is safe. To live means to suffer. So suffer for the right life.

Just a message to a human to other human: be safe, enjoy life.

Contrary to popular belief, burnout isn’t caused by a lack of work-life balance. It’s driven more by the lack of ability to do meaningful work. Why I Find Bullshit Work Intolerable | Hacker News

The world is getting crazier, but as of right now I had a good weekend and life looks a bit brighter.

So in the wave of all things AI and this roller coaster we’re all on, apparently actors, writers and so on are all on strike. I don’t recall seeing anything in my feeds about this, so I had to ask a few folk in real life wtf was going on there…

Turns out they’re all on strike because they fear that AI/ML models will take over their jobs. There are numerous cases where “tech” has already replaced an actor, now it will just get much easier to do.

I AM IN THE MOUNTAINS. finally. #life
