Ugh! Not @david@collantes.us, but this one. I am going nuts. Well, I am nuts!

I am letting this domain go at the end of this year. Another of my alter ego feeds will be gone then. Oh, the humanity! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net so i did a mistake that i’ve done before and i think i just pulled from the main branch which is STUPID i KNOW and i don’t LEARN but whatever. i was having trouble with my go version and the makefile so i think i literally just ran it as my user with go in the path and redirected the binaries to go to a temporary directory i made and then moved them to /usr/bin lol. i’m not sure what could’ve caused this! probably something in the pipeline of weirdness i just wrote out

@prologic@twtxt.net If you’ve got the feed URL in yarnd’s cache, you can easily look up a missing nick. If you can’t find it, just show the URL (or maybe just the domain name to be halfway consistent with this @nick@domain thing that yarnd invented) and be done. It’s really that simple.

When yarnds peer with each other, the odds of actually having come across that feed URL in the past are higher than with traditional clients that only have their local set of subscribed feeds. One additional improvment would be to also look at all the mentions and see if somebody used a nick for that URL and go with that.

Yeah, yarnd currently renders some really weird shit when the mention contains just a URL, but I’d call that a bug for sure.

Personally, I do not like the @nick@domain syntax at all. It looks silly to my eyes. What might have also contributed is the fact of this mentions syntax gotten screwed up so many times by yarnd in the past. But that’s a totally different topic.

@prologic@twtxt.net i thought i was going insane when i saw blank posts on my TL i was like is noscript fucking with me again but no it’s you guys fucking around LOLLLL

For the record; we consider the new authority on the Twtxt spec(s) going forward (has been for some years actually) to be implementers / primary maintainers of widely used clients. To date that is:

• yarnd @prologic@twtxt.net (me and others)
  
• jenny @movq@www.uninformativ.de
  
• tt @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
  
• Timeline @darch@neotxt.dk / @eapl.me@eapl.me and others
  
• twtxt-el? – @andros@twtxt.andros.dev
  

Full list of supported and widely used clients can be found at https://twtxt.dev/clients.html – which I note a few above are actually missing from this page haha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woohoo, noice! Now you can ship, even sell it! :-D

All kidding aside, even though I never wrote a proper brainfuck program myself, I do like that. :-) Keep it going.

I’ve made it a habit to always put on my noise cancelling headphones when going to bed (without music). It’s pure heaven. 😂 Silence and darkness. I fall asleep within minutes. 😂 Good night. 😴

first day of marathon training. i do not have a race in mind but wanted to start training again. was going too fast but 48F and just feeling overall good.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thanks for checking! it is a work in progress. i journal as well so may just be a manual process to get some of the data back in, but not going to rush it unless it is dorking someone’s feed.

i thought about making a chill little vlog putting together my new pi4 for KVM purposes but unless i make it go fast somehow i’d probably quickly exceed the 30 mins on the last mini DVD i have for recording lol

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ok yeah idk what’s going on whatever i’ll mess with config later

just one of those ones you never want to stop. it was dark, quiet, and lonely which just let me zone out with the cool weather and maintain what felt easy. didn’t look at the watch until the end when it notified me it was going to die. adjusted the mileage and time to reflect.

The difference never fails to make me go “whoa”. 😅

Having a lot of fun with Coraza today. A Web Application Firewall library written in Go that also happens to have a Caddy module.

@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!

Rode my bicycle into town. What the hell is wrong with some of these motorists!? Here in right lane traffic land, a car reversed out of the driveway on the left into the road and nearly hit me. And this happened twice! If you don’t fucking see, how about you go slowly and not just hope that nobody is coming!? The first one even decided to honk at me. SUV drivers confirming prejudice…

Well, at least I could help a lady with transfering her child in a pram.

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

ladyflash by the go team

is sooo good my friend just shared it and i’m obsessed already

my camcorder videos are gonna go so hard yall like i can post them exclusively to my own youtube site and just do whatever tf i want with it. i should make more vlogs

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

really wanna make an ssh zine app inspired by a telnet zine cms i found on github. i’m gonna probably go ahead with the telnet zine idea i have if i can get people for it but if i could build my own ssh mirror for it with golang and the charmbracelet wish library that’d be epic

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s not any better on the “ground” with trees and buildings around. They don’t dampen at all, in fact the houses just cause reverb and amplify the bangs. Rest assured, I did not hear any people laughing or anything in that nature. Just grenades going off. Talking to my mates, it appears that I live in an especially bad shithole, they reported a noticable reduction of explosions around 00:20. Over here, there was constant fire till around 02:00.

Yep, that’s exactly how I imagine a war zone, too.

3°C today, it was quite nice in the sun. A lot of hunting and tree felling going on in the forest. And we met the heron again, that was very cool: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-12-28/

And now some stupid fuckwits are burning firecrackers again. Very annoying. Can we please ban this shit once and forever!?

@bender@twtxt.net Bahahaha in hindsight I got rid of that 🤣 Just silly nonsense, just one of those things when you create an account on yet-another silly centralized platform(s) and go “fuck” someone’s already taken the username I want 😅

and going back to a handle you could input in your client to look for the user/file, like @nick@domain.tls I think Webfinger is the way to go. It has enough information to know where to find that nick’s URL.

@prologic@twtxt.net does that webfinger fork made by darch work OK with yarn as it is now? (I’ve never used it, so I’m researching about it)

I’ve been making a little toy operating system for the 8086 in the last few days. Now that was a lot of fun!

I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself. I think going for real-mode 8086 + BIOS is a good idea as a first step. I am well aware that this isn’t going anywhere – but now I’ve gained some experience and learned a ton of stuff, so maybe 32 bit or even 64 bit mode might be doable in the future? We’ll see.

It provides a syscall interface, can launch processes, read/write files (in a very simple filesystem).

Here’s a video where I run it natively on my old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (and Warp 3 later in the video, because why not):

https://movq.de/v/893daaa548/los86-p133-warp3.mp4

(Sorry for the skewed video. It’s a glossy display and super hard to film this.)

It starts with the laptop’s boot menu and then boots into the kernel and launches a shell as PID 1. From there, I can launch other processes (anything I enter is a new process, except for the exit at the end) and they return the shell afterwards.

And a screenshot running in QEMU:

@bender@twtxt.net Dud! you should see the updated version! 😂 I have just discovered the scratch #container image and decided I wanted to play with it… I’m probably going to end up rebuilding a LOT of images.

Way to go F*** Book! With another $263M going down the drains … And people’s lives/data with it.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.

And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger

since twtxt is based on text files, I think you can consider @domain.tld as an alias of http://domain.com/twtxt.txt (or https://domain.com/tw.txt, among other combinations in the wild).

Or perhaps you can use DNS TXT records?
Although I think that’s a bit more complicated for some environments and users, I’d go with looking for a default /tw*.txt

One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it

By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social
Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com‬ or https://netflix.com

Its just good SEO practice

Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce.
No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de HAHA! speaking of reflexes, Ctrl+SHIFT+v to paste and Ctrl+a to get to the start of the line, get me all the time when I’m using a browser … Ctrl+w (delete back a word) is the worst! tabs go Pouf! 🥲

haha, that’s gold xD.

#randomMemory I remember when I was starting to code, like 30 years ago, not understanding why my Basic file didn’t run when I renamed it to .exe

And nowadays, I’ve seen a few Go apps in a single executable, so twtxt.exe could be a thing, he!

I really, really have to go get some sleep. If you see me online before at least 6 hours, punch me in the face!

Goodbye Blender, I guess? 🤔

A bit annoying, but not much of a problem. The only thing I did with Blender was make some very simple 3D-printable objects.

I’ll have a look at the alternatives out there. Worst case is I go back to Art of Illusion, which I used heavily ~15 years ago.

Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and @movq@www.uninformativ.de!

I partially fixed the code block rendering. With some terrible hacks, though. :-( I see that empty lines in code block still need some more work. There are also some other cases around line continuation where the result looks ugly. I have to refactor some parts to make this go more smoothly and do this properly. No way around that.

Turns out, my current message text parser does not even parse plain links. That’s next on the agenda.

Oh, I also noticed that this thing crashes when there is not enough space to actually draw stuff. No shortage of work. Anyway, time is up, good night. :-)

Finally, the message rendering in my tt Go rewrite produces some colors. There is definitely a lot more tweaking necessary. But this is a first step in the right direction.

My neighbour is always either coming in or going out

@bender@twtxt.net I wonder where that dude who was hosting his twtxt feed in a google drive go? 😆 that was hilarious!!

although the only #Go things I’m running in there are a WriteFreely blog and the Saltyd #SaltyIM broker … each running in separate #FreeBSD #jail, those are still running the 14.1-Release (at the moment) anyways.

Upgrading my FreeBSD box to 14.2-RELEASE … I may have read something about some-Go-thing breaking but 🤞

Fuck me dead, what a giant piece of shit. On my Linux work laptop I have the problem that some unknown snakeoil “security” junk is dropping any IPv4 connections to ports 80 and 443. All other ports and IPv6 seem unaffected. I get an immediate “connection refused” when trying to estabslish a connection.

I had this problem four weeks ago on Friday morning the very first time at home. On Thursday evening, everything was perfectly fine. Eventually, I plugged in the LAN cable in the office and everything got automatically fixed. Nobody can explain what’s happening.

Then, last week Friday morning out of the blue, the same issue was back. So, I went to the office yesterday and it got fixed again by plugging in the network cable. This evening, I have exactly the same bloody problem again.

What the hell is going on? Does anyone have any ideas? I’m certainly not an expert, but I don’t see anything suspicious in iptables or nft rules. I also do not see anything showing up in /var/log/kern.log. Even tried to stop firewalld, flush the iptables and nft rules, but that didn’t result in any changes.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.

But don’t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if it’s just notifications that are bothering you could just go to your /settings/preferences/notifications and uncheck as much boxes as you need … unless you’ve already done that, then… sorry, not sorry we love your posts my friend!! xD And just so you know, you put a smile on my face whenever I stumble upon any of your retro-computing posts! 😁
