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

@bender@twtxt.net Gah! Stay strong. 😩

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure if the confirmation helps at all. You just condition yourself to immediately press y on a daily basis.

Apart from that, aborting the removal should probably terminate the function with a non-zero exit code, something like return 1.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same! Another infrastructure apocalypse at work. Who needs reliable shit? Definitely not us.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de having a similar one here, and it is only 11:41. Ugh!

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Hahahaha, I heard this one before, but it’s brilliant! :-D

Fuuuuuuucking hell. 😮‍💨 It’s one of “those” days.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ta! :-)

spamhaus, ils sont pénibles à remettre mon ip dans leur liste… grrr

@prologic@twtxt.netdoesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt 😂😂😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz call her Gata. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net yup yup. Much work to be done, so little time. 😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de one less dead account! 😅

Hey, hey, I am back. I lost all my worthless twtxts, but at least I still have the blackjack and hookers!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de well, Bender told me to tell you he will refollow as soon as hos account is rebirth once more.

@prologic@twtxt.net I wonder what this will do to my followers list. I suspect there were a lot of dead accounts out there. 😅

GUYS WE GOT A NEW CAT SHE DOESN’T HAVE A NAME YET BUT SHE’S SUPER CUTE AND SUPER SHY AND WARMING UP TO US I’M IN LOVE

@prologic@twtxt.net NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@prologic@twtxt.net Spring cleanup! That’s one way to encourage people to self-host their feeds. :-D

Since I’m only interested in the url metadata field for hashing, I do not keep any comments or metadata for that matter, just the messages themselves. The last time I fetched was probably some time yesterday evening (UTC+2). I cannot tell exactly, because the recorded last fetch timestamp has been overridden with today’s by now.

I dumped my new SQLite cache into: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/backup.tar.gz This time maybe even correctly, if you’re lucky. I’m not entirely sure. It took me a few attempts (date and time were separated by space instead of T at first, I normalized offsets +00:00 to Z as yarnd does and converted newlines back to U+2028). At least now the simple cross check with the Twtxt Feed Validator does not yield any problems.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, if we really wanted to, I guess @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and I could provide you with our copies of that time period. 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net RIP 💀 Well, shit happens. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE

@bender@twtxt.net LMFAOOOOOOOO i love jank

@bender@twtxt.net it’s iconic tbh

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 🤞

And now, let’s finish it off with Besigheim’s old town. Only when we left, the sun peaked through the clouds. That was a bit unfortunate, but what can you do? It has some nice buildings. https://lyse.isobeef.org/besigheim-2025-03-30/

Today, we had a cleanup day with the scouts. I estimate that we ended up with about half a metric ton of rubbish. Despite the heat it was really great fun.

@prologic@twtxt.net In all my two Go projects I use modernc.org/sqlite and can’t complain. Works great for me.

DOUBLE SUBJECT’D’D!!!

@david@collantes.us This pink tree I featured in a few shots is a magnolia tree. I haven’t noticed any particular smell, it just looks pretty. :-) That’s a close-up: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/18.jpg (I only noticed the spider and its web when I reviewed my photos.)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Happy to hear that. :-)

The photo series covering old stuff continues. This time, Gundelsheim. Actually, mostly the castle hotel Horneck, I hardly took any photos from the town itself. I really should have, though. Let me just blame… aehm… yeah, the rain! It’s totally the rain’s fault!! When it started to drizzle, I actually took the first photos, so it’s a total lie. https://lyse.isobeef.org/schlosshotel-horneck-in-gundelsheim-2025-03-30/

Please stop calling these silly things AI

Plz i need to know if it was still April fools day someplace when the Tariffs were announced.

They’ll eat ya up, nom nom nom

Hey kids, stay away from computer jobs.

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 can see your twts here: https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://eapl.me/tw.txt

@david@collantes.us.. i see this one but it says its dead. https://watcher.sour.is/?uri=https://ferengi.one/twtxt.txt

it adds users by finding them in feeds mentioning or following. Your URL is already added.

Hmm i am not sure how you got the URL with users at the end..

Hi, So i made a little MVP registry crawler tool for twtxt. It now has a basic UI to play with. It has a somewhat full history back to about 2018-ish. Plus some interesting bits that were timestamped to earlier.

Find it here: https://watcher.sour.is

Code base is found here: https://git.sour.is/sour-is/xt

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do agree “the rules of the web”, are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.

As for my website, it might be visually very similar, to how it looked since its creation, many years ago, but it is frequently improved. Features that originally used JavaScript, changed to HTML and CSS components, code simplified, optimised to withstand browser updates and new screen resolutions,… Even a good chunk of the errors on your list, were already addressed and I plan to address the rest soon.

Just find it a bit depressing, that my attempt to bring back some of the old Internet spirit, by making a hidden easteregg page page for this years April 1st, was met with people complaining about April fools day jokes and you insinuating my website sucks.

In Mexico you couldn’t register the word Sonora (state), nor Taqueria (kind of restaurant) as there are two common words, but perhaps the combination of both is trademarkable, I’m not sure, so many ‘taquerias’ here don’t file a trademark request. It’s usually “Taquería

An interesting episode about naming stuff, and some implications of the “Trademarks”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m allways on the frontline! 🙃

@prologic@twtxt.net Fully agreed. I’m far more likely to buy such mediums when DRM-free. I never go near Amazon eBooks etc because of their lock-in, and I have a Kobo eReader which needs to have the books side loaded unless directly from the Kobo store. I prefer DRM-free files every time.

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:

1. It’s easy to to parse
   
2. It’s easy to read (in formatted mode :D)
   
3. It used actually \n for newlines, you don’t need unprintable symbols
   
4. Forget about hash collisions because using full hash
   Here is my twjson feed: https://doesnm.p.psf.lt/twjson.json
   And twtxt2json converter: https://doesnm.p.psf.lt/twjson.js
