et voilà, normalement le flux atom du twtxt est bon, ne nécessite plus sha256, et le ménage est fait dans mon twtxt.txt

Je viens de retirer sha256 comme dépendance à twtxt2atom pour qu’il soit plus rapide. Prochaine étape : le faire en C ^^

Tiens tiens, c’est drôle, je trouve ce site qui me fait penser très fort à quelqu’un que je lisais avant avec beaucoup de plaisir. Les centres d’intérêts sont partagés. J’aime le smolweb :) https://jbztl.fr/

In-reply-to » @itsericwoodward Also just a heads up, GIF(s) aren't supproted as an Avatar type on yarnd (what runs twtxt.net). I'd change this to something that's more supproted like PNG, JPEG, etc.

@eric@itsericwoodward.com Name change is no worries! 😉 Interesting/funnily enough my client yarnd seems to have picked it up automatically which is nice (I’ve historically always had a few bugs to iron out there 🤣)

In-reply-to » Thanks for the greetings! This is a pretty neat little network you've got going here. 😁

@eric@itsericwoodward.com I prefer to call what we’ve built here really an “ecosystem”. A network isn’t really an apt description. Twtxt/Yarn is arguably IMO the purest decentralised non-social social media ecosystem I think in existence today 🤣

In-reply-to » @lyse Oh dear. 🙈 So glad that WfH is a thing now. Imagine how utterly annoying it would be if they expected you to still come in despite this …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, once in the quarter to the office is absolutely amazing and luxurious. Thank you teammates and employer! Though, I would already have been on site when these things happened earlier.

Today is my last day of holiday. Back to work again tomorrow. Not looking forward, vacation is just great. So easy to get used to.

I just saw that these motherfuckers also query my twtxt feed. I have to enable access logs for everything again and see who else wants some napalm response. :-(

But maybe, just maybe this is why they’re pushing so hard to have this “Age Verification” bullshit. So they can then shut people down like me that routinely “speak up” and “against the status quo”. Bend over backwards? I think not! Assholes 🤣

I realize I’m a nobody, and no-one will care or listen. But to the various UK, EU and AU politicians pushing for this “Online Safety Act” bullshit…. You’re all fucking utter morons! I can’t wait for the backflash of what will come next. Idiots.

In-reply-to » @lyse you will have to agree, though, that Yarn has contributed to make it possible to mass adopt (with its many glitches, bugs, and all) because, still, the web is king.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, the subject and multiline extensions are great and absolutely needed. If incorporated right from the beginning, though, they could have been designed even better. :-)

The author doesn’t really long for retro. They long for time passed, for old times. We all do. It is called ageing.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de having to go to a gopher proxy to see a text document better served on readily available web servers… 🤭, but I digress. Verbatim text:

What's Missing from "Retro"
~softwarepagan
------------------------------------------------------------------
You know, often, when I say I miss older ways of computing or
connecting online, people tell me "there's nothing stopping you
from doing that now!" and they are technicay correct in most cases
(though I can't, for example, chat with friends on MSN ever
again...) However, let me explain that while this type of thing can
*sort of* fill that hole in my heart, it isn't *the same.*

Say, for example, I wanted to connect with others over a BBS. This
wouldn't offer the same types of connections it used to. While
there are BBSes around with active users, they're no longer there
to discuss movies, Star Trek, D&D, games, etc. They're there to
discuss *BBSes.* The same can be said for Gopher, old-school forums
and all sorts of revival projects (such as Escargot, Spacehey,
etc.) Retrocomputing enthusiasts, while they have a variety of
interests, are often in these spaces to discuss the medium itself
and not other topics. This exists at a stark contrast from how
things were in the past, where a non-tech-inclined person may learn
the tech to connect with likeminded others (as I did as a
Zelda-obsessed kid.)

The same can be said of old media. People will say "well, nobody is
stopping you from watching old shows/movies now!" Again, they are
technically correct. I can go home right now and watch *Star Trek:
The Next Generation* to my heart's content. It will never again,
however, be current, or new. When something is new, it serves as a
shared cultural experience. Remember how "Game of Thrones* felt in
the mid-to-late 2010s? Yeah, that.

It's sad. I sustain myself on a mixed diet of old things, new
things, and new things intended for old millenials like me who like
old things. It can be bittersweet.
