@prologic@twtxt.net I’m just registering and using yarn, I haven’t built it. But maybe I could build yarnd on my server.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Welcome to the wild west!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I agree and am very happy about how it went for me back then. Having said that, I still admire @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s persistence and strong will to get into it. I feel that a lot of young folks give up way too quickly.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Do you mind git pull && make build and updating your yarnd instance so it’s in-line with the new Hash v2 spec 🙏

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Not difficult, I’m just the target of much spam and bots 😢

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com twtxt.net is now difficult to register, so you can register yarn instead: https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz 👍

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I reflected on your nick change: https://balloon.oldcities.org/twtxt-active-users.txt

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com by asking me nicely 🤣 Which you just did! If you either provide me a desired username and password and secure medium to give this to you I can do that easily, or alternative a desired username and email address (never stored, only hashed), after which you can “Reset password”.

I intentionally post from this account. I have created a Japanese explanation page for twtxt: https://balloon-jp.vercel.app/twtxt/

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for the heads up! I fixed my nick and corrected my reply. I’m still learning lol. I still need to get setup with a client, I’m using my timeline at the moment, but that’s finicky due to CORS in the browser. By chance do you know how I would go about signing up with twtxt.net?

Hello from the new twtxt.app PWA! 🎉 Testing the Yarn.social publishing backend. (automated test post)

Hey folks 👋 Today I announce the re-release of the Twtxt Search Engine now live and running and actively re-crawling and re-indexing. 🎉 Please report bugs or any useability issues to me! 🙏 #Twtxt #Search

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com’s Arcade@gabesarcade.com You will want to either build a client or use one of the ones listed here – Either way you choose! 👌 I just noticed as well in this Twt I’m replying to (threading is a thing™) that you @-mentioned@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net incorrectly 😅

<@bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> Thanks for the warm welcome! I don’t actually have a twtxt client setup yet, but you showed up in the timeline on my site: https://gabesarcade.com/?timeline - which is kind blowing my mind right now.

@’s Arcade@gabesarcade.com Welcome to Twtxt / Yarn.social 😅

@Gabe-sArcade@gabesarcade.com Welcome! I added you to my twtxt Active List: https://balloon.oldcities.org/twtxt-active-users.txt It might be good to improve your “nick”.

@’s Arcade@gabesarcade.com welcome to twtxt!

@gabe@gabesarcade.com welcome to twtxt!

@kiwu@twtxt.net jump on IRC and tell us! Server irc.mills.io, on 6697 (TLS), join #lobby, then private message (I am quark). :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the siting lady reads this?

Or it is something else? Awesome pics, Lyse! Some oldies I missed (the lady), and some pretty cool new ones. I can’t get enough of nature pics!

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me likewise. I was very active on it in 1992, all until 1998. Then dropped off until 2020, but remained dormant. I have now awaken once more! 😂

twtxt is awesome! How am I just discovering this?

I just read @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s blog post over here:

https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/articles/learning-to-code-like-it-s-the-90s

Jesus, it must be so overwhelming for young people to get started with programming.

When I started programming, there was the built-in ROM BASIC of that PC and probably a bit of BASIC on a floppy, and that was it. Nowadays? Millions of libraries and frameworks and languages and what not – and, much worse, there’s the expectation that you need to make something fancy. When I started, printing something and understanding IF was good enough.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This apparently depends on the program now … Some Qt6 programs still allow that, others don’t. I can’t remember if GTK ever had that feature. 🤔 But yeah, this whole “move stuff around as you please”-mentality is mostly gone.

I know I keep referring to StarOffice 3.1 a lot, but it’s just such a good example for all these things. All the toolbars and panels could be rearranged:

https://movq.de/v/2fb714931d/s.png

(This is running in Wine, btw.)

LibreOffice is the descendant of StarOffice and it doesn’t support anything like that anymore.

Maybe it was deemed too confusing for users? “Oh no, I mis-clicked something and now that bar is gone! How do I get it back? I don’t even know what it’s called!” 🤔

Ok, so I think I’ve set up a good posting solution. I use twtxt to post updates. My site renders those in HTML and generates an RSS feed. The RSS feed is then cross-posted by Micro.Blog. Clean and simple.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-07-03/0/POSTING-en.html Oh yeah, the toolbar handles. You could actually move the toolbars around and sometimes even customize them. I have no evidence, but to me it feels like a lot of programs don’t allow that anymore nowadays.

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh! Von wann ist denn das? Und ja, Innenaufnahmen wären richtig fein. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu Wie sah’s denn drinnen aus? 😅

Heute sollten Bilder vom alten Eingangsbereich des URZ gefunden werden. Ich fand!
Hier eine Collage:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It was an easy and quick fix, though. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu Ah, ein Jahresband. Man darf dann auf Beiträge dazu im Blog demnächst gespannt sein. :-)

More importantly, the original twtxt doesn’t have a reply function. Perhaps the other party can’t see my reply. 😆 I replied with my balloon account.

@oberon@nightfall.city I don’t think I can reply to nex: X-D The residents of Nekoweb are happy to welcome me, a Japanese person.

@prologic@twtxt.net No. Since the other party was using the original twtxt, I used the twtxt format for my reply. However, that was changed by yarn 😆

Hmm… https://twtxt.net/twt/rb4c47bj2b2k.

@prologic@twtxt.net this was supposed to be a reply to this, not sure how it ended up all there, by itself, sad and lonely. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net they are not the operator, but a user. I think @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz is the operator.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I think you need to update your yarnd instance 🙏

@oberon@nightfall.city I don’t think I can reply to nex: X-D The residents of Nekoweb are happy to welcome me, a Japanese person.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It varies… We tend to prefer bowtie collars for all of our little boys, but they like to wrestle sometimes, and since they’re indoor-only, they can go for months without collars at all.

@arne@uplegger.eu LOL really? 😅

@arne@uplegger.eu The new hashes read like planet names from the game No Man’s Sky. 🚀🌍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Die “2000” bezieht sich auf das Jahr. Darin befinden sich zwölf Ausgaben aus dem Jahr. Das “Mecklenburg Magazin” ist mir bisher gar nicht unter gekommen. Gibt’s wohl schon seit 1990.

@bender@twtxt.net twtxthashgeddon, word of the year! 😂
