@eldersnake@twtxt.net yep. And when its sat to sat connections are online it will have better cross planet latency than under sea cable. FWIW

@prologic@twtxt.net

Not sure if Starlink satellites are in orbit around/over Australia yet, but I wouldn’t go with that option anyway due to the latency alone.

I believe it is being trialled in some places in Aus already. I will admit, I’ve been signed up for the beta for a while and it’s supposed to be coming to my area sometime in 2022, though that may be delayed due to the chip shortage stuff.

I think the latency is supposed to be 45-60ms on average, which while not as good as fixed line obviously, is leagues better than old fashioned high orbit satellite broadband which is about 600~ms.

@prologic@twtxt.net they are everywhere.

@prologic@twtxt.net, who calls me name when I am busy profiting? 😂 In a less serious note—because nothing is more serious than making profit, of course—yes, it seems your avatar issue has been fixed. I am kind of sad, I looked forward each day to see which random one was going to show. LOL.

I’m not 100% certain @quark@ferengi.one but 🤞 that revert works…

@prologic@twtxt.net I dont get it. What am I looking at? The domain 8s missing for me

Hello @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com 👋

For the Wordle players around here (@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @xuu@txt.sour.is, @movq@www.uninformativ.de), and for those moments in which you rather cheat, than lose: https://github.com/KevinXuxuxu/wordle_machine. 😂

@benk@kwiecien.us I am using jenny (we chatted a bit on IRC earlier today). I have been using it for over five months now, I think. It is truly a joy to use, specially because you can use the power of Mutt/NeoMutt to read your twts.

@prologic@twtxt.net you be the man! I can’t remember the last time something gave as much troubles as this. The mention and the way to handle images are two things that have stuck in my head. Hopefully this is the last time there is an issue with this one! 🤞🏻

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this might be of help https://wordle.at/

@quark@ferengi.one Fixed the “Enter” key issue, sorry about that. I’m dumb 🤦‍♂️ Also I hate Javascript! 🤬

@xuu@txt.sour.is, how come I can’t see your lovely mouse avatar on my pod? I know you might not have an answer; I am puzzled, and mostly thinking on loud voice here. I see your avatar fine at twtxt.net.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de was the request to remove the hash (subject) from showing on twts discarded? I don’t see it on the TODO, so I am curious. Was it something you decided was not worth investing time on?

I saw the allegedly animated GIF @thecanine@twtxt.net uploaded gets a PNG extension, yet remains animated. I know PNG can be made animated, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening here, so I am puzzled. Let’s see how this Nyam cat looks like.

@prologic@twtxt.net let us take the path of less resistance, that is, less effort, for now. I am going to be a great-grandfather before search ever get implemented locally, least one to search on “all pods”. In other words, let us don’t bite more than we can chew. 😹 Neep-gren!

@prologic@twtxt.net I fully agree with making it a pod-level setting (forget about user-level, let us not complicate things too much; we all know users know nothing). Should I send a latinum over for this, or will an issue just suffice? Neep-gren!

@prologic@twtxt.net I am seeing a problem in which not-so-active users, such as myself, are ending up having a blank “Recent twts from…” under their profiles because, I assume, the cache long expired. What can be done about it? Business personalities such as myself can’t be around here that often! Could something be implemented so that, say, the last 10 or 20 twts are always visible under one’s profile? Neep-gren!

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com, I am sure profit—or the search for it—was involved. Most likely that pilot was a Ferengi in disguise. We are known to visit lesser planets seeking to exploit. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Hoping my fellow Ferengi fares well or, at the very least, lets me know where his Latinum is.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com 🕑 Hi, the current time is about a quarter past two in the afternoon 🌅.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com I am not Amish.. i am Xuu!

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com +1 …Now just a way to come up with the $20 per twt to store the data.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have thought about this because even though it doesn’t happen often, when it does it bothers me greatly. I haven’t found a solution. How about you? What could be done to avoid this from happening?

I know we have been over this in more than one occasion. Ideas about editing timeouts, or not allowing to edit/delete came up, but were quicky discarded as absurd.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Oh But somehow @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org saw the old Twt and replied to that 🤦‍♂️

This is the downside of not fetching often enough or refreshing just in case a feed has changed your replying to hmmm 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that is a horrible idea. A mobile device isn’t a server. Having a mobile device pull raw twtxt feeds from everywhere on an ongoing bases, will be, at the very least, tolling on the device’s battery. Just at you, or even further, I will never use such thing.

@prologic@twtxt.net sorry about the spelling mistakes. English is my third language.
Also I didn’t mean to question the vision as such.
Just ment a mobile up that pulls in files directly from the users follow list would line up better with the idea of decentralizing personal data. Since not everyone will be running a pod, but most everyone can have a public facing folder. Specially now with services like Skynet coming online.
Sorry hope I didn’t offend you too much.

@tamer@twtxt.net We’re not trying to compete with anything… If you’ve read About Yarn.social – In a nutshell I want to create an open, transparent social platform that respect’s folks privacy and freedoms. It must also be easy to use and down-to-earth where human interactions actually matter. None of this rubbish of manipulating what you see, driving up engagement numbers to serve your advertisers and all that garbage

Autocrypt - Wikipedia

Just reading in-depth and trying to understand the security model of Delta.Chat a bit more… There’s a few things that really concern me about how Delta.Chat which relies on Autocrypt work:

• There is no Perfect Forward Secrecy
  
• No verification of keys
  
  • Is therefore susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle attacks
    
• Metadata is a BIG problem with Delta.Chat:
  
  • The To and From and Date are trackable by your Mail provider (amongst many other headers)
    

Hmmm 🤔 cc @deebs@twtxt.net

@prologic@twtxt.net Well.. well. well.

Thank you @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org - yeah they are kinda crazy color wheels

Hey @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com I just came across this cool little project recently. Not written by me sadly 😂 But seems like it would do the trick nonetheless 🤣 – How are you going with PageKite? Is it still working okay for your Yarn pod powered by the outback of down under? 😅 LMK if you’d like me to spin this up anad you can be my first tester 🤙

@prologic@twtxt.net what is this?

You’re right @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I just watched Australia Post Outrage: Did She Need To Go? and I do believe I’ll start adding this to my “watchlist” – I don’t use Youtube specifically (because privacy eroding garbage); but the content this guy produces is awesome! 👌

Scotty from marketing really needs to be fired! Can we even fire Prime Ministers besides calling an election? 🤔 The more you dig into our #Australian #Government the more you realize just how fucking corrupt they all are and have been over so many years. How?! 🤦‍

@prologic@twtxt.net I think this is awesome. I’m proud to be part of this.
Annnd… I need to learn go. No money here, but at least I would make some cool PRs (or MRs?)

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.

A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.

With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.

@prologic@twtxt.net why were they even working? Did they think a big warehouse full of shelves of dangers would be safe?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org one of those tadpoles will one day be a beautiful, succulent, frog. “Hmmm, froooog…” (with Homer Simpson accent).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I thought it was just me. I drives me nuts to try reading on that page. I guess I am no longer capable to look at old CRT monitors without side effects.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org more often than not, it is! I mean, I try to go over the changes, but soon find myself in a web (not pun!), all entangled. Then say, “screw it!” and to the bin it goes. 🥴

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

I feel like README will need a rework soon. There’s a lot of options now. Or maybe a manpage instead.

For example that local_twtxt_dir MUST end in path separator should be mentioned somewhere ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net
I think they were addressed till certain extend. I will check them out, and close as appropriate.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Just wondering whether any of these issues can be closed or have been done? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s as good as it gets for Winter here. I mean, leaves will fall, but that’s about it.

@prologic@twtxt.net former CEO of Twitter and countless ETH/NFT scammers

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Great work! I wish we could make all those BIG twtxt writers to use it ;-)

I’ve a problem with local_twtxt_file not beeing supported any more. Being forced to use twtxt.txt as file name breaks at least my URL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ah and here I am pronouncing it in my head like an abbreviated version of Lysine.

Thanks to @TANTlab@twitter.com and @birkbak@birkbak.neocities.org for havning me today at AAU CPH🙏 Presentation notes can be found at: http://darch.dk/aau-tool-talk/

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com @darch@twtxt.net y’all got a passcode for that zoom link?

@thecanine@twtxt.net been there a few times! Thank goodness for mosh for when trying to debug from spotty GSM connection and having ssh drop out every few minutes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Me when I find myself crossing an international border, close to midnight, using free bus WiFi, spammed by messages from people, telling me that the server hosting my web-apps is down. 😂
