Do not expect me to not hit other people’s nerves. You have been warned.

Great things happening over at the Xhitter.
its been a rough couple of days
To everyone previously asking, what my (and other developers) endless complaining about Google, to both every EU body, with a form on their website and every relevant team at Google accomplished…
WE FUCKING WON!!!
“While security is crucial, we’ve also heard from developers and power users who have a higher risk tolerance and want the ability to download unverified apps.”

I was also able to work with my new webhost, to bring back “🐕.fr.to” - everyones favorite vanity redirect domain, for my site, Googles changes to SSL warnings in Chrome, killed at the beginning of this year.
The lesson: I NEED TO COMPLAIN MORE
It’s winter!
the new logo is cute
Habe mich am Wochenende nach Empfehlung von @arne@uplegger.eu an https://picocss.com versucht und bin restlos begeistert. Schön schlank, schnell und modern! In Zukunft werden sicherlich noch einige Projekte mit Pico folgen.
Hello World! Testing 1 2 3
how r we doing today!
yooooo I just mistyped one of the most common commands and was so pleasantly surprised. bonus manpage too!
Just a small update, on my birthday (on the 5th), I accidentally deleted the main page, of my website, so I’m using that as an opportunity, to try something new, at https://thecanine.smol.pub or gemini://thecanine.smol.pub - depending on your preferred protocol.
Any feedback is welcome!
Random question: does anyone here happen to know anything about retro hacking?
Endlich habe ich das letzte der zehn deutschen “Stahlratte” Bücher von Harry Harrison. Jetzt muss ich es nur noch lesen. Zur Sicherheit die ganze Reihe noch einmal! 🤓
Well, it sure has been a while since I last posted here. Just up late doing yet another Linux installation. Debian turned out to be about as stable as a plutonium Jenga tower, and Alpine refused to boot, so I gave it the boot. Here’s to hoping that Arch fares better. Oddly, I’ve always found Arch to be considerably more stable than other distros…
is the first url metadata field unequivocally treated as the canon feed url when calculating hashes, or are they ignored if they’re not at least proper urls? do you just tolerate it if they’re impersonating someone else’s feed, or pointing to something that isn’t even a feed at all?
and if the first url metadata field changes, should it be logged with a time so we can still calculate hashes for old posts? or should it never be updated? (in the case of a pod, where the end user has no choice in how such events are treated) or do we redirect all the old hashes to the new ones (probably this, since it would be helpful for edits too)
I finally solved the loading issue in my WIP reader, TwtStrm (and apologies again to anyone that got spammed while I was diagnosing the issue).
After another round of coding this weekend, I’m happy to report that it now renders all the twts (with markdown parsing), complete with localstorage and server-based file caching.

Warum ist es nur so kniffelig ein Sudoku-Rätsel zu erstellen?
Ich meine nicht, das Erstellen eines komplett ausgefüllten Sets, sondern das Leeren der Felder so, dass ein einigermaßen herausforderndes Sudoku mit nur einer Lösungsmöglichkeit entsteht. 🤔
wait why are so many of my post hashes not generating correctly ;w;
edit: i read the spec wrong :3 only +/-00:00 is stripped, not the entire timezone offset >.<
wait….so i’m like nearly done? it just works? and it’s fast? this feels like the end of the first all-nighter i pulled where i just got post creation done, unaware of the three weeks that would follow — like looking at the roadmap i’m definitely not done but bbycll is like actually kind of usable now o.o
ok so i have found a genuine twt hash collision. what do i do.
internally, bbycll relies on a post lookup table with post hashes as keys, this is really fast but i knew i’d inevitably run into this issue (just not so soon) so now i have to either:
1) pick the newer post over the other
2) break from specification and not lowercase hashes
3) secretly associate canonical urls or additional entropy with post hashes in the backend without a sizeable performance impact somehow

Since Google announced their intentions to heavily limit sideloading on Android, starting end of 2026, I’ve been looking for potential solutions, for this policy change, that threatens the majority of projects I maintain, in some way. Google already killed my browser project years ago, but I have no other choice, than to fight this, any way I can.
The best choice to deal with this, will probably be the Android Debug Bridge, which can be used not only to install apps unrestricted, but also to uninstall, or remove, almost any unnecessary part of the OS. Shizuku, combined with Canta Debloater, is the winning combination for now.
I’ve already removed most Google apps from my device: the annoying AI assistant, the stupid Google app adding the annoying articles, left of your homes screen, Google One, Gboard, Safety app… it’s amazing, no distracting Google slopware, like in the good old Android 2 days! And I absolutely intend to keep it this way, from now on, no new Google apps or services on my devices, unless Google can give me a good enough reason, to allow them there and whenever the app that verifies signatures, to block installing apps not approved by Google, I’ll just remove it from my device and advocate others do so too.
J’en ai profité pour changer l’ip du serveur : 2001:41d0:fc19:e400::5137. 5=s, 1=i, 3=e, 7=t
On m’a fait remarquer que mon serveur n’était pas accessible en ipv6… Merci! Je ne m’en apercevais pas depuis chez moi. Encore une histoire du firewall obscur de mon routeur :/. Là, normalement, c’est bon. ???
J’ai mis à jour mon générateur de plan de classe, on peut tourner les tables maintenant https://si3t.ch/tools/plan-de-classe/
search page, bookmarks page, improved thread view (that i will probably improve further), as well as a logo and a whole ui redesign. it is truly all coming together…were i to mark any items off the roadmap :p
free me from the hell of not knowing how to design a website
i love htmx i just need to find somewhere to use it
Thanks to a blog post by ~solderpunk and the presence of ImageMagick on my pubnix, all of my weirdcore art (apart from the animated works) is now under 32K in size! Honestly, I’d say the lower JPEG quality actually adds to the vibe of the images: something from the early web, taken permanently out of context and long forgotten.
is there someone (ideally not in the opposite timezone to me) who’d be willing to let me bother them with technical questions abt twtxtv2 and/or yarn’s inner workings? :3
new kamen rider is really good
so obsessed with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WEX94Gro7Q

i know yarn has a CLI client in yarnc but ngl i wish there was a TUI client. that’d be really fun
i’ve been sooo obsessed with the second a-side from my favorite idol group’s latest single. it’s a super fun and energetic latin pop track — i highly recommend giving it a listen, it’s really catchy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RtbnP1onaM
I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it’s about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I’d like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?

I finally have my new (top-secret) twtxt client in a working state. Next comes the deployment, which I hope to finish tonight. Release date: TBD. Stay tuned!
