characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q

And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! š± #Twtxt #Update
July 1st. 63 days from now to implement a backward-incompatible change, apparently not open to other ideas like replacing blake with SHA, or discussing implementation challenges for other languages and platforms.
Finally just closing #18, #19 and #20 without starting a proper discussion and ignoring a āmicro consensusā feels⦠not right.
I donāt know what to think rather than letting it rest (May will be busy here) and focus on other stuff in the future.

How a 20 year old bug in GTA San Andreas surfaced in Windows 11 24H2
The headline sets the stage, and the article delivers. This was the most interesting bug Iāve encountered for a while. I initially had a hard time believing that a bug like this would directly tie to a specific OS release, but I was proven completely wrong. At the end of the day, it was a simple bug in San Andreas and this function should have never worked right, and yet, at least on PC it hid i ⦠ā Read more

Happy 4/20 Easter
A mate and I had an amazing but also exhausting hike to the highest of the Three Emperor Mountains yesterday with perfect weather conditions. Sunny 18°C, blue sky with barly a cloud and a little welcoming breeze, just beautiful.
Mt. Stuifen is 757 meters above sea level, has a small shelter and a barbie area and is still the most boring one of the three. Itās also the one farthest away from me. Not sure why it has two summit crosses, but both arenāt at the summit. The third, makeshift one at the real summit was gone by now. Four years ago, somebody had cobbled one together and put it up.
We bought our tucker at a local bakery on our way. This was the first time I tried a Teufelsbrezel (lit. devilās pretzel), a lye pretzel with pepper. Havenāt come across that anywhere else. But I can certainly recommend that, itās yummy.
We were glad when we were finally back home after some 26 or 27km. I wonāt do much today and let my feet rest. Another friend called for a much, much shorter hike tomorrow.
Enjoy the 92 photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-stuifen-2025-04-19/

One article assigning a draw of 20 watts to the human brain.
@prologic@twtxt.net you wrote:
āBased on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections.ā
Whatās the relation between the brains of mice, and the human brain? I am kind of lost trying to make the connection.
I also read that it isnāt 5 watts, but more like 10-20 watts. Still a super tiny consumption, comparing to what it takes to run anything AI.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It says F=700, D=70 and RK=20. I have to research what magnification that translates to, a few days have passed since physics class. Your Celestron Ultima 100 looks much more high quality than this thing.
