Iโ€™m still alive ! Hereโ€™s a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:

  • Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
  • Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have maybe fixed that) โ€ฆ etc.
  • Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, Iโ€™ll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net โœŒ
  • Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was โ€ฆ not for me to say the least.
  • Started learning Emacs (I know, Iโ€™m in trouble LOL) and might even start twtinโ€™ from there instead.

In-reply-to » Anyone got a link to a robots.txt that โ€œblocksโ€ all the โ€œAIโ€ stuff?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It looks like this one actually reads the robots.txt โ€ฆ it did a couple of times over the past few weeks.

In-reply-to » @movq 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.

@bender@twtxt.net wellโ€ฆ reading through This I can but wonder if it is defending anything at allโ€ฆ

In-reply-to » 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 ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

The last time I did so, I ended up injuring my neck reading an old stash of books weโ€™ve had laying around at home. It took months to heal. xD

Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience.
As a matter of fact, and as long as Iโ€™m not doing any 3D work, I kind of donโ€™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 โ€œ402 Upgrade Requiredโ€ client
error responseโ€ฆ (LOL letโ€™s not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things Iโ€™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 โ€œIโ€™m dropping into a full TTY experience for another
24 hrsโ€ kind of nice!

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

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a โ€œJust onceโ€ or a โ€œ24 hrs challengeโ€.

Iโ€™m reading through the Week Week In TTY thread youโ€™ve linked earlier and oh-boy!
People went All In TTY and no X โ€ฆ Iโ€™m tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours ๐Ÿ˜… but Iโ€™ll keep on reading.

And again, Thank you!

In-reply-to » I think @abucci and @stigatle are running snac? I didnโ€™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 โ€ฆ Thatโ€™s tough to beat.

@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 thatโ€™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.

In-reply-to » I'm closing down neotxt.dk as a yarn pod. It will instead offer hosting of timeline or what ever other php stuff you want to run. To get started send me a poem to poem@neotxt.dk

@bender@twtxt.net ha! He goes his โ€œpoemโ€:

A string of letters, a forgotten name,
An email crafted, a message to claim.
We hit send with a click, a hopeful sigh,
But a bounce-back arrives, a tear in our eye.

โ€œDelivery failed,โ€ the message reads cold,
The address it seems, is a story untold.
A ghost in the system, a memoryโ€™s trace,
Lost in the void of cyberspace.

:-D
