In-reply-to » QOTD: How large is your shell history? No history, 500 lines, 10'000, 100'000, something else?

It’s 500. I never changed it, so that’s the default of either Bash or my distro. It’s fine for me.

In-reply-to » @movq Hda to look this up and after I had done so (successfully after some improvements to the search engine) I am convinced that this is the right path to go down in terms of "I want to see old stuff" 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net having to go to search to read an older conversation is inefficient, unseemly, and an overall poor user experience. There has to be another way, right?

In-reply-to » One great feature of Vim (and probably other editors) is “keyword completion”: Type the beginning of a word, then press Ctrl-N and Vim will give autocompletion options by scanning all the words in the current file. For example, when I now type “au” and then Ctrl-N, it will suggest “autocompletion”.

@prologic@twtxt.net Lol, god no 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de But can it hallucinate? 🤔

This is so very useful when writing text / prose. It’s especially useful for German text with all those long words like “Informationssicherheitsbeauftrager”. I use this feature all time and I sorely miss it when I’m forced to use some other crappy editor. 😩

In-reply-to » This is a test twt to see if :set formatoptions-=t in vim would stop the annoying line breaking I've been having in my twts... And I guess, that's it! Things are looking OK on my end.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That’s the trick, yep. 👍 I have something like this in my .vimrc:

au BufRead,BufNewFile jenny-posting.eml setl fo-=t wrap

This is a test twt to see if :set formatoptions-=t in vim would stop the annoying line breaking I’ve been having in my twts… And I guess, that’s it! Things are looking OK on my end.

How about if I add in a separate paragraph like this one? Did hit return twice for it. I hope it isn’t breaking anything else.

In-reply-to » I made some improvements to the Twtxt Search service tonight. Hopefully this update makes it a bit easier to use and resolves some of your critical pieces of feedback @lyse 🤞 The main idea being that by default the search is basically a "Query String" type search, meaning that it does what you expect. If you search for a simple term, it'll do that, If you enclose your search term in "double quotes" it'll search for that phrase. If you then want to search against specific fields you can do so with mentions:prologic@twtxt.net for example. I hope this makes the useability much better 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Fixed!

In-reply-to » @aelaraji off topic, I think you are using hard wrapping, or something similar, on mutt/neomutt. The formatting of your twts come up a little off. Specifically, the line wraps.

Looks like he’s just pressing enter twice really, resulting in what I think are hard paragraphs 🤣

e2 80 a8 is the hexdump for \u2028 – the unicide newline character used in multi-line twts.

@bender@twtxt.net Trust you to pick up on something like that 🤣 Looks fine to me, but then again I’m not sure where those lines should or should not be separated 😅

In-reply-to » Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience. As a matter of fact, and as long as I'm not doing any 3D work, I kind of don't need gui applications as much as it feels like.

In-reply-to » Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours 😲

Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience.
As a matter of fact, and as long as I’m not doing any 3D work, I kind of don’t need gui applications as much as it feels like.

Even though, a couple of websites asked me to eff off because they need
JavaScript to work. Some others handed me a cold “402 Upgrade Required” client
error response… (LOL let’s not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things I’ve been meaning to
for quite some time but never got, mainly to because of my browsing
habits. I tend to open a lot of tabs, read some, get distracted then
open some more and down the rabbit hole (or shall I say tabs) I go.

All in all, it was quite a nice experience.
How nice? It was an “I’m dropping into a full TTY experience for another
24 hrs” kind of nice!

Although, I miss using a mouse already, but hey, I would have never
heard about gpm(8) otherwise.

In-reply-to » Wow, it's crazy how many people already delivered donations for our scout flea market today. Collecting and delivering officially starts tomorrow, today was just the setup. Covering the floor of the town's multipurpose hall, transporting and arranging beer tables and benches, setting up sign, that sort of thing.

@bender@twtxt.net Rest assured, it was really disgusting.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this almost made me choke:

But on the flipside, we’ve also been abused as dumpsters again. Some asshole brought us a deep fryer. With the oil still in it. Unfortunately, we discovered that too late.

The big work starts tomorrow morning at 8:30. And the flea market where we actually sell the stuff is on Sunday. It’s gonna be a hell of a weekend.
