Very cool! Interestingly using your web app, the result was a higher bitrate than when I downloaded the best audio only option in yt-dlp (258 kbit/s vs 140 kbit/s).

Don’t quite understand that but nice work 😅

It’s a shame that so many public Wi-Fi networks block traffic on ports 70 and 1965, completely cutting off both Gopher and Gemini. Restricting Internet access to only the “most common” use cases like YouTube and Wikipedia is a great way to ensure they eventually become the “only” use cases.

Google Chrome will have Gemini LLM built into the browser.

Oh no, don’t tempt me. I’ve been on KDE for a while to not tinker and make it possible for my Windows using partner to use my laptop now and then, I’m trying to avoid the dwm/l addiction 🤣

Some of the dev teams I work with use kanban. I like using cumulative flow diagrams to monitor throughput. Pawel Brodzinski has a terrific write-up on using CFDs here: http://brodzinski.com/2013/07/cumulative-flow-diagram.html

Unfortunately not on that front. Still the same 404 posting errors and oddly occasional login errors.

That’s why I was wondering if using Go 1.22.4 could be an issue. I don’t know how exactly. Only way to test is to rebuild it with an older version I guess, which is why I did the make clean in the first place. Old habits die hard lol.

Finally using workspaces in my monorepos.

Adobe is under fire for a similar deal where their ToS says they can use users’ artwork for anything.

I love the history view in Jira, but changes to long descriptions are hard to find via stare-and-compare. I’ve been using git diff --word-diff to find the actual changes.

Base: 5.00 miles, 00:10:04 average pace, 00:50:19 duration
had to step off after two miles to use the faculties. getting back on the last miles were a slug-fest and i feel like i should have just pushed through it.

@prologic@twtxt.net i’ve used it on some small side projects and it was great. my 8-5 gig isn’t too keen on it yet which wasn’t surprising.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is an interesting thing to do. I mean, he found a way to fool Defender, but why? A disabled Defender is worthless, and that’s what he is doing. If I were to use Microsoft Windows, I would want the Defender to be bonafide active.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve been using Qwant for a while but it was down earlier today (as well 😆) so I switched back to my trusty Searx Redirector

… This utility forwards your search query to one of 11 random volunteer-run public servers to thwart mass surveillance.

QOTD: Which web search engine do you use? 😂

There’s other potential uses for the tool (compare syscall latency between OSes, stat latency between file systems), but not what i’m after.

For my purposes, the comparison would only be useful to systems running Plan 9; if you happen to have that, yes please!

@prologic@twtxt.net I normally use gimp, but this project is pretty intense: https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama

for simple and quick drawings my kids use https://pixelart.com

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you. I’m using Pixel Station. I can’t recommend it enough for this kind of pixelart, but it’s only available for Android.

@prx@si3t.ch there is this ImageGoNord thing I’d found reading an Eww Bar article a couple of months ago… It lets you convert a wallpaper/image to conform to a color pallet, hope you fine it useful.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m personally using the android app as is. Didn’t set up my own notifications server, the default one works just fine I guess.

Another thing that doesn’t work anymore after blocking network traffic from my Android phone: Some push notifications.

I run a Matrix server for our family. I use “FluffyChat” on my phone. Traffic from the phone to my Matrix server is allowed and chatting in FluffyChat works.

But I don’t get any notifications anymore on new messages.

So, what’s going on here? Does FluffyChat, which only really needs to talk to my own server, rely on some cloud service for notifications? Seriously? 🤔 How does that work, does this cloud service see all my notifications or what?

Anyone around who did app development on Android? Can you shed some light on this?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you’ll find it simpler to use zs

@shreyan@twtxt.net Nothing much, still trying to figure out a proper way to manage a gemlog and a phlog using Hugo.

Otherwise, I’m just exploring new tty stuff … Anything I should try?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/03/college-gaza-protests-antisemitism

I’m starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It’s nice.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I’ve been having this problem for quite sometime now. It boils down to Vi/Vim/NeoVim inserting those line breaks automatically when editing an .eml file (if I can remember the file extension correctly) … I think Jenny makes use of those. I had to delete them manually until I was told that the problem was fixed after I added the charset utf-8; to my nginx config file. I’ll try and fix this next…

Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience.
As a matter of fact, and as long as I’m not doing any 3D work, I kind of don’t need gui applications as much as it feels like.

Even though, a couple of websites asked me to eff off because they need
JavaScript to work. Some others handed me a cold “402 Upgrade Required” client
error response… (LOL let’s not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things I’ve been meaning to
for quite some time but never got, mainly to because of my browsing
habits. I tend to open a lot of tabs, read some, get distracted then
open some more and down the rabbit hole (or shall I say tabs) I go.

All in all, it was quite a nice experience.
How nice? It was an “I’m dropping into a full TTY experience for another
24 hrs” kind of nice!

Although, I miss using a mouse already, but hey, I would have never
heard about gpm(8) otherwise.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I have a custom .tmux.conf that makes it very easy to use the multiplexer, but I agree, Zellij seems pretty robust, and intuitive. I like it! Tried compiling it, as with everything Rust, it failed miserably. Good thing there is a binary release I could download to try!

@mckinley@twtxt.net yes it is!
I’m using Zellij. I love how it works out of the box.

@bender@twtxt.net Seems to be working! I’m using mdom’s txtnish and I’m figuring out replies.

Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours 😲

I use Pocket Gopher. Its in fDroid app store.

@bender@twtxt.net There are a couple more
I went and looked them up but I can’t imagine myself using any except for “honorificabilitudinitatibus” … It kinda sounds good and has a nice meaning I guess.

Started writing something from scratch yesterday using thread(3) and wow do I miss writing in Limbo instead. :-/ #plan9

@bender@twtxt.net I have nothing against GoToSocial, but:

GoToSocial stores statuses, accounts, etc, in a database. This can be either SQLite or Postgres.

snac is simpler. Some JSON files and that’s it. I can read them with jq and less. I can use tar to back them up. I can hand edit them in a text editor.

It’s remarkable how much proprietary software one can avoid using if one simply eschews GUIs as much as possible.

I think @abucci@anthony.buc.ci and @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Yes, I am running snac on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no, so blame him 😏 snac is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It’s definitely like yarn in that respect.

I haven’t been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I’ve been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I’m finding snac very useful: I’ve connected with friends I’d previously lost touch with, I’ve found useful work-related information, I’ve found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There’s a lot more going on over there.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I’d say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That’s not a ding on yarn–I like yarn and twtxt–I’m just time constrained.

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, That sounds delicious! B’Saha![1]
I’m Glad you’ve had quite the productive! All I remember of mine is three chapters of an old novel at the coffee shop aaand … Now I’m here, in front of a computer. Everything in between is just Blank 😅

[1] B’saha: Moroccan word for “With health!” (a literal translation) usually used as an equivalent for the French expression “Bon Appétit!” but also used as “Congratulation!”

If you’re using jenny on Python 3.12, it will spit out a deprecation warning regarding datetime.utcnow(). This will be fixed in the next release.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I can’t say for sure. I didn’t even know how three-way merges work till I looked it up. I guess it’s more of git thing that would prove useful in the case of using passwordstore/pass.
As for Keepass, all I do is syncing it’s database file across devices using syncting. Never felt the need to try anything else.

I guess it is safe enough for my use case, with Backup database before saving on and custom Backup Path Placeholders as Backup plan in case of an Eff up.

I might have found the actual source of my problem.

Jenny uses an .eml file when composing a twt …
and vim kinda auto formats it and inserts in those line breaks every ~70 character.

Then, I stumbled upon this link where Where someone reports that saving a .eml into a .txt might… corrupt the data?

@prologic@twtxt.net sure! Give me a couple of minutes to set things up.
Also, you can check the charset again, I did set it up even tho I do observe the problem in my twtxt.txt file on my local machine way before doing scp to the remote one. They show up when I use bat but not when I cat the file nor on neomut.

@bender@twtxt.net I’m using both machines in English.

Checked my locale and it spits out:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NUMERIC=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=

🤷🏽 … and that only happens when vi, vim or nvim are launched by Jenny to compose a twt.

@shreyan@twtxt.net ever tried KeepassXC or Pass/Password Store ? They are worth giving a try … Then you can keep your KeepassXD database in synch across your devices with (NOT /R/s/y/n/c) I meant Syncthing or git in the case Pass (using a git repo in within your local network of course) 👍🏼(edited)

</> htmx - high power tools for html really liking the idea of htmx 🤔 If I don’t have to learn all this complicated TypeScript/React/NPM garbage, I can just write regular SSA (Server-Side-Apps) and then progressively upgrade to SPA (Single-Page-App) using htmx hmmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, normally I just use s browser to open PDF, but we had actually create one and it needed some special Acrobat features. Afterwards I immediately uninstalled it again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, it seems like it. But I don’t mind using neomutt to go through my feed, it feel like a huge upgrade compared to the usual pager 😄

@johanbove@johanbove.info Is there any reason to use this program? I can’t remember when I last had it installed, must have been early 2000’s.

I’m still figuring out interactions mechanics on Twtxt, for example the at symbol is sufficient to mention someone you follow I guess, like @twtxt@buckket.org when using the twtwt cli. is that implemented in the twtxt cli as well? it wouldn’t heart to try
