Hey @bmallred@staystrong.run 👋 Can you see this? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh! sorry about that! I’m ok with signal.

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to but couldn’t. Also, I was prompted to resend the email elsewhere… Will do in a minute. 👍

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? 📧 Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn’t equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?

Alternative message me on Salty IM (https://salty.im) at prologic@mills.io

@prologic@twtxt.net

1. The “Story of my life” (the less serious answer)
   
2. Being “The Black Sheep” from the old tale ? (the serious answer)

@prologic@twtxt.net I was replaying to your twt and thing got too long and messy, so I emailed you. I hope you don’t mind.

@Rob@jsreed5.org Coming from HTTP and discovered both at the same time, my preference might be biased towards Gemini because of the content syntax but I love both equally.

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm… it sounds like being stuck in a “Filter bubble”. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Checking it out right away! Thanks!

@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?

@prologic@twtxt.net Awesome! I guess that fixed it. Unless @bender@twtxt.net sees otherwise LOL.

p.s: Broken mentions again?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You ARE AWESOME!

I was RTFMing trying to figure out how to set this up in my .vimrc Thank you!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That’s the trick, yep. 👍 I have something like this in my .vimrc:

au BufRead,BufNewFile jenny-posting.eml setl fo-=t wrap

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Looks okay here for me, but then again I’m not as pedantic as @pedantic@arrakis.netbros.com 🤣

@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…

@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.

@bender@twtxt.net /me taking notes for future twts …
Sorry for the confusion lads! o.o’

@Prologic@twtxt.net can you pleas fix this line in your twtxt.txt:
# follow = dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt?nick=dbucklin

It is cause this weird effect on my timeline, where you are now called dbucklin

@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!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’m definitely putting that in the list. I like tmux but I just can’t wrap my head around the controls. This looks more like a tiling window manager.

@bender@twtxt.net yeah that’s what I ended up doing but wasn’t so sure.

I’m always second guessing myself, wondering what goes first: the parenthesis () or the brackets [] …
The exclamation mark part was the easiest to remember. 😅

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

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com apparently Txtnish isn’t maintained anymore. if interested you could give Jenny a try.
I’ve never had to look back once I’ve had it set up with mutt following @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s guide

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com I was a programmer for almost 20 years before I figured that out. Never too late.

@bender@twtxt.net What are we testing? 🫡

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

@someone@www.davebucklin.com testing…

@bender@twtxt.net Howdy.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a “Just once” or a “24 hrs challenge”.

I’m reading through the Week Week In TTY thread you’ve linked earlier and oh-boy!
People went All In TTY and no X … I’m tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours 😅 but I’ll keep on reading.

And again, Thank you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh! Thank you for the link! I’m checking it right away!
I hope I don’t get slapped with a “HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required” there as well.

As for Netflix and Co. I can do without for the time being. I guess I have binge watched enough content I feel like I miss missing it. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I looked it up, couldn’t find a proper course/tutorial. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess, you don’t get to check the logs if you host your feed file on a pubnix …

@bender@twtxt.net I’ve dropped him a message earlier on Mastodon, will let him know if he replays 👌

@dev1ls@texto-plano.xyz First replay to your first twtxt from Spain! (I guess) Welcome back in! 🖖

@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.

@bender@twtxt.net well there is “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”!
I usualy hear people ask Harry Mack (a freestyle rapper) to include it in his freestyles. 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe something for you: 7.css - A CSS framework for recreating Windows 7 UI

@prologic@twtxt.net
That’s awesome!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉

@adi@twtxt.net I kinda bounced off learning go properly a few years back. This little toy would be a good thing to try again on, now that you mention it. Maybe.

@bender@twtxt.net To quote from the german version of ISO 27001:

Änderungen an Informationsverarbeitungseinrichtungen und Informationssystemen sollten Gegenstand von Änderungsmanagementverfahren sein.

Fuck off, you cunts. 🤣🖕

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net
I actually love that one! But no. Mine will be a simple header and a
sub-header, breaking that ugly void. I might add in a couple of links
later but that will be it. Till I make a functional one.

@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.

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.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, that sh!t is pure (net)art!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Like deebs.net

@bender@twtxt.net It would definitely impress the Moroccan ones. Not sure about the other nationalities, though. 😅

(TL;DR: each country/region has it’s own dialect)

@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!”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Roger that! 🫡

@prologic@twtxt.net It was one of (if not THE) first feed(s) I got to follow after discovering Twtxt and setting up my own.
It was quite nice for the first couple of hours, I’ve even got to explore a couple of @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu’s articles.

Theeeeen… Things started to feel a bit overwhelming I had to “Clean Things Up!”.
Flushed my whole Jenny/Mutt cached twtxt feed and re-synced everything all over again.

But hey,
Good evening! 🎧🎵Guns N’ Roses - Live and let die.
