In-reply-to » Alright, I have a little 8086 assembler for my toy OS going now – or rather a proof-of-concept thereof. It only supports a tiny fraction of the instruction set. It was an interesting learning experience, but I don’t think trying to “complete” this program is worth my time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woohoo! You selected a turing complete instruction set, so all good. ;-)

In-reply-to » Walking those few hundred meters to the dentist and home took me at least three times as long as usual. Complete sheets of ice on the footpaths, definitely ice skating territory. The dentist was caught in a traffic jam and arrived about an hour late. On my morning journey I saw two ambulance operations, one on the way there and the other one when I returned. Just 200m apart. I fear it's going to be an exhausting day for all the rescue personell.

@bender@twtxt.net I always schedule the next appointment right away. :-) Yeah, over here, it’s just winter. Nothing really surprising. But it gets us every time. I prefer the ice over the the fire for sure.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That was the only time I left the house today.

In-reply-to » 🤔 Prosoal: Disallowed the @<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.

@prologic@twtxt.net I say we should find a way to support mentions with only url, no nick, as per the original spec.

  • For @<nick url> we already got support
  • For @<nick> the posting client should expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should just render it as @nick with no link.
  • For @<url> the sending client should try to expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should try to find or construct a nick base on:
    1. Look in twtxt.txt for a nick =
    2. Use (sub)domain from URL
    3. Use folder or file name from URL
