@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have this one as per some article I read some time agoโฆ But just like the robots.txt I donโt think you have any grantee that it would be honored, you might even have a better chance hunting for and blocking user-agents.

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

The last time I did so, I ended up injuring my neck reading an old stash of books weโve 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 Iโm not doing any 3D work, I kind of donโt 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 โ402 Upgrade Requiredโ client
error responseโฆ (LOL letโs not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things Iโve 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 โIโm 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.

I guess Iโm not missing my GUI Web Browser yet. In fact, I think Iโm enjoying this. ๐

I might even drop to TTY to try stuff I read about earlier today.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a โJust onceโ or a โ24 hrs challengeโ.
Iโm reading through the Week Week In TTY thread youโve linked earlier and oh-boy!
People went All In TTY and no X โฆ Iโm tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours ๐
but Iโll keep on reading.
And again, Thank you!

@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 thatโs 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.

@bender@twtxt.net ha! He goes his โpoemโ:
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.โDelivery failed,โ the message reads cold,
The address it seems, is a story untold.
A ghost in the system, a memoryโs trace,
Lost in the void of cyberspace.
:-D

More basement:
I completely forgot that DVD-RAM was a thing once. Found my old disks and they still work. ๐คฏ The data on them is from 2008, so theyโre not that old. Still impressive.
The disks are two-sided. On the photo, that particular side of the disk on the left appears to be completely unused. ๐ค
And then I read on Wikipedia that DVD-RAMs arenโt produced anymore at all today. Huh.
(I refuse to tag this as โretrocomputingโ. Read/write DVDs that you can use just like a harddisk, thanks to UDF, are still โnew and fancyโ in my book. ๐)
Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net, I also just manage to get my own version of webmentions working. Please have a read at Webmentions vs. Custom Mentions Spec for Twtxt/Yarn - HedgeDoc and User Lookup for Twtxt/Yarn - Webfinger or Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) - HedgeDoc for how it sorta works
