Sometimes, we spend months stuck in inertia, distracted by screens and routine. So I’d like to give you a simple reminder: creating-in whatever form-is what makes you feel alive.
The beauty of working on projects is not in their ‘success’, but in the simple act of working on them. Whether it’s writing, cooking, programming or redecorating the house: play with ideas without pressure, engage in an activity to test, fail and discover without judgement.
In the end, what remains is not a perfect product, but the satisfaction of completion and valuable lessons.
Find a project, no matter how small, and let it take you without expectations.
We should look at this thread

This is sooo cool, it reminds me of learning QBasic (and then Visual Basic) in the 90s

I’ve just ordered a new toy! A ProDesk 600 G4 Mini with a Core i5-8500T, 32Go of DDR4 RAM and 256Go SSD storage. A cheaper alternative to an 8GB RPi5 + Argon one v3 m.2 RPi case kit (NVME not included) 🤷. It should be here by Friday 🤞
Markdown and the Slow Fade of the Formatting Fetish - a nice article about Markdown VS proprietary formatting. With quotes like “Microsoft Office works in an office where you pretend to work until you can finally go home.” 😄
I have just received the royalties for the last book: 98 euros for the four-month period, about 24 euros a month on average. Not even enough for the gym membership.
If you have to keep some knowledge: don’t write for money, the paper (or ebook) industry is in a very bad way, the margins for the author are very small and piracy is devastating.
Hello, i want to present my new revolution twtxt v3 format - twjson
That’s why you should use it:
- It’s easy to to parse
- It’s easy to read (in formatted mode :D)
- It used actually \n for newlines, you don’t need unprintable symbols
- Forget about hash collisions because using full hash
Here is my twjson feed: https://doesnm.p.psf.lt/twjson.json

oh my god I am never using a css grid again ;;;; converted the sdv shrine to a flex layout, works much better on mobile now! now to just push that update!! :D
DOGE To Rewrite SSA Codebase In ‘Months’
Longtime Slashdot reader frank_adrian314159 writes: According to an article in Wired, Elon Musk has appointed a team of technologists from DOGE to “rewrite the code that runs the SSA in months.” This codebase has over 60 million lines of COBOL and handles record keeping for all American workers and payments for all Social Security recipients. Given that the code has to track the byzantine … ⌘ Read more

Hello World from tt2
My granddaughter will grow up much like me.
Is there a way to auto-insert a time stamp on vi or vim at the beginning of each line? Like, upon opening like so:
2025-03-20 15:04:03 Blah blah blah blah
2025-03-20 15:04:15 Bleh bleh bleh bleh
2025-03-20 15:04:22 ...
The rabbit hole is an interesting concept.
Hi! For anyone following the Request for Comments on an improved syntax for replies and threads, I’ve made a comparative spreadsheet with the 4 proposals so far. It shows a syntax example, and top pros and cons I’ve found:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KOUqJ2rNl_jZ4KBVTsR-4QmG1zAdKNo7QXJS1uogQVo/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Feel free to propose another collaborative platform (for those without a G account), and also share your comments and analysis in the spreadsheet or in Gitea.
Wow, this is a nice way to practice internationalization for our systems

Mosfets are rapid electronic switches, to feed pulsed frequency amps into a transformer
Maxwell Chikumbusto has invented how to make power from the air, using frequency amps to make a load work normally using power from the transient energy in the air.
Sandy Kidd and others are making two spinning wheels make trust, defying gravity. This should be possible but the angle is critical to get right. Such motions are complex, my picture is poor.
Bit of an update, there is now a general licence for all my stuff:
“Unless projects are accompanied by a different license, Creative Commons apply (“BY-NC-ND” for all art featuring the Canine mascot and “BY-NC” for everything else).”
It’s even included on my website, where most of the demand for a clear licence originated from:
In practice this changes nothing, as I was never enforcing anything more than this anyway and given permission for other use too. Now it’s just official that this is the baseline, of what can be done, without having to ask for permission first.
My twtxt feed is now also available at gemini://roccodrom.de/twtxt.txt
If you have even a passing interest in what, or rather who is the cause of (not just) Googles enshitification and 15 to 30 minutes to spare, I would strongly recommended reading The Man Who Killed Google Search, or listening to the podcast episode, linked at the very top of the page.
It needs to be emphasised, the majority of these changes for the worse, are not an accident. They’re done very deliberately by cockroaches, seeking short-term profits, they can take a big chunk of, only to jump ship to another company and let everyone else, suffer the long term consequences of their actions.

The other day, after a discussion online, we came to the conclusion that using awk+sed+tr could replace much of the development that requires a database. However, using SQLite to have a SQL syntax isn’t a bad idea either. What do you think?

twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers.
The keyword here is microblogging. But it doesn’t feel like we’ve been (relatively speaking) doing much of that lately… maybe I go the concept of microblogging wrong.
It’s been ages since the last time we’ve had as much and as frequent of a rainfall as we’ve been having this week. The smell, the sounds, the wind pushing against my body … are taking over my senses with joy, leaving no room for worry™ (about the possibility of a flood).

Hi everyone,
I’ve drafted a Request for Comments (RFC) to improve how threads work in twtxt:
https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/18
I’d love your feedback! Please share your thoughts on anything that could be better explained, check if the proposed dates work for everyone, and I invite you to join the discussion…
@eapl.me@eapl.me There are several points that I like, but I want to highlight number 7. https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version #twtxt
Blender-Rendered Movie ‘Flow’ Wins Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Beating Pixar

Hey everyone!
About the idea of improving the “thread” extension, what if we set aside March 2025 to gather proposals and thoughts from everyone? We could then vote on them at the end of the month to see if the change and migration are worth it.
The voting could include client maintainers (and maybe even users too). That way, we get a good mix of perspectives before taking a decision in a decent timelapse.
What do you think? If this sounds good, we can start agreeing on this. Let me know your thoughts!
