@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oooph! Web development is tidious.

I also include width and height from now on in my galleries.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I second that!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I noticed that loading="lazy" might not be so great after all.

This is without lazy loading:

https://movq.de/v/1ea351add4/s.png

The total page load time is around 400-500 ms. Okay.

Now this is with lazy loading:

https://movq.de/v/9708e1afff/s.png

It finished much quicker, after about 250 ms. Sounds good.

But notice this gap right here?

https://movq.de/v/96645a7a75/s.png

This wasn’t there before. With lazy loading, it now takes something like 80-100 ms until the browser even starts loading images. This is Chromium, but Firefox shows a similar gap.

The net result is that there is a very noticeable delay/flicker when you open a page, because it takes so long until the images have loaded. Yes, the layout doesn’t shift around, but that has nothing to do with lazy loading.

How odd. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. I just use CDATA (and still have the XHTML trailing slash for <img … />). But of course, it also has its drawbacks: https://waspdev.com/articles/2026-05-11/avoid-using-cdata-in-rss I might just move away from it.

Everything is a web service these days. :-/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh my god, there’s nothing that CSS can’t do, eh? 😳 Crazy stuff.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Putting HTML into the feed. It should be XHTML. 🤪 (I used <img ...> instead of <img .../>.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! (But if you ask me, a day without sun would a welcome change. 🤣)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats, how did you break it? :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good idea, I should probably do the same for my photo galleries.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, that’s what I was thinking, too. For a moment, I wanted to suggest to use <ol> instead of <ul> to fix that. However, that’s only gonna work for the first level, but subsections then miss their parent level.

And it turns out that I was wrong. At least sort of. There are some CSS tricks to fix it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26243681 Of course, with text or retro browsers, this is not gonna fly.

I also came across this interesting article. I just skimmed it and it’s about real tables of contents with page numbers, so not what you have in mind, but cool nevertheless: https://css-tricks.com/a-perfect-table-of-contents-with-html-css/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It was a wild ride for sure. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Besides, have a look at https://movq.de/v/cf0903ebc3/numb.png again: When it goes from item 9 to item 10, the indentation of the text (after the number) changes. Pretty ugly. In other words, a table of contents should be a table, not a list like it is at the moment. And that would require me to write my own extension for python-markdown … Probably not worth it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mhm, yeah … I’ll probably not do it. Just keeping the numbers out of the anchors would be pretty hacky, I guess.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh my goodness, what an adventure, hahaha! :-) https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-06-25/0/POSTING-en.html

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon section numbers are not really needed for articles. But if you number them, the anchors should probably not contain the section number, just the title. Especially for articles that may receive updates.

It’s probably another story for specifications. They’re kinda fixed and thus I found it useful in the past to include the section numbers in the anchors, so they show up in URLs when linking to specific sections. W3C RFCs only include the numbering in the anchors. This makes URLs fairly short, but it would be also nice to directly see what kind of section that URL actually links to.

@thecanine@twtxt.net I don’t know if the Dinosaurs TV series is a meme, but this cute thing surely reminds me of that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. A Go programmer eventually knows that its nanoseconds precision. Keyword arguments like in Python are just sooo superior to unnamed positional arguments. I wish that Go had them, too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s working fine. I can still read your messages. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com This will never end. Chat control in the EU is back as well, it seems. 🙄

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, that would be good, it only supports gzip, though. 🥴

Finally finished another meme one, I always wanted. It took forever, to get it right, so I really hope people get the reference.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de using zstd first, and gzip after for everything is kind of standard these days, isn’t it? I use Caddy, and have encode zstd gzip on all sites.

Using gzip compression for the twtxt files now. I don’t expect any issues but let me know if something breaks. 🥁

(This feature is implemented in a pretty minimalistic way in OpenBSD’s httpd …)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mhm, yeah, I also think I like date := time.Date(2026, time.June, 19, /**/ 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC) the most. 🤔 (My only gripe with this is that it isn’t obvious whether the third 0 is milli-, micro- or nanoseconds. These days it’s probably nanoseconds, but you never know.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I admit, it’s something different in the pitch dark. Noises are a hell lot more eery. I do wince every now and then, too. :-)

But I’m very glad that I only have to really worry about ticks and boars in our forests. They’re petting zoos compared to everywhere else. Let’s see when the bears and wolves return. It’ll be another story then.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Huh. Yeah. Indeed. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You think I thought about it on that level? 😅 I just heard that weird animal noise in the dark and I was the one who was running. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de But foxes always run away and don’t attack. They’re afraid of us humans – unless they have rabies.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Test passed. I think.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/this-is-a-test-tt.png

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Omfg, that’s a big “no” from me. 😃 Nononononono. 😃 I had such an encounter with a fox once deep at night and that was scary enough. 🤣

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah, it also requires you to fill our a form with some sensiable inputs. There are other measures I’ve put in place to thwart/discourage bots/spammers too.

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s right. Services that allow unlimited people to register instantly for free are everywhere being abused. Signing up for mbox requires an SSH key. This can help prevent some misuse.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz The reason for my locking down my own instance here was purely because of spam and bots 😢

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah No worries an welxome! Glad you didn’t find standing up your own stance too hard!

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! I just posted here recently. I was considering twtxt.net participation, but registration seemed difficult.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh! You’re running Yarn.social’s yarnd? 😅 That’s why I was able to see your reply so quickly/easily ! Nice! And welcome! 🙏

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Nice! 👍

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried custom domains. This works!
Since issuing Let’s Encrypt is my first reference, I see errors there,
but I was able to reference them within minutes.

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net post it on Hacker News: A tiny shared Linux system, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48652140

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s how I read that, too. :-D Unfortunately, all listed articles stop at only 30% maximum. Scam!!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I don’t 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Very cool! 😎

Just one question: when do you sleep? 😁

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Does that mean they paid you 3x what it’s worth and you get teh product for free plus a bonus payout? 🤔 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org awwwww! 🥰🐦‍⬛🥰🐦‍⬛

@bender@twtxt.net As I was not able to capture any recent ones, from the archives: https://lyse.isobeef.org/amsel-2024-05-29/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Here you go 🤣 https://git.mills.io/prologic/gonix/src/branch/main/cmd/imgview/main.go

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, Rust is quite popular in the Wayland scene, it seems.

In image viewer in 170 lines? Show me. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Happy sauna party! :´-/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I looked into swagimg. That’s the thing, The latest version pulls in fark’n C++ (geez fuck) and luajit. Anything else I’ve round for Wayland depdns on Rust (wtf?!) – So I built my own in Pure Go. It’s wonderful, so simple, only ~170 lines of Go 🤣
