Un nouveal article où je parle du nouveau markup orienté plaintext que je me suis amusé à bricoler: https://si3t.ch/log/2025-08-22-amore-a-more-readable-plaintext-markup.txt

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww, yeah. 😍 (Reminds me, I haven’t paid attention to the sunset in quite a while …)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org When/if I can pull it off, there will be videos! 😅

I never used hardcopy terminals, either. We did have a dotmatrix printer, but that was just used as a regular printer.

Inkjets, I don’t know. They were pretty fascinating and cool when they came out. A lot faster than dotmatrix and obviously quiter. They never gave me much trouble, actually. But I switched to a laser printer long before crap like DRM’ed ink cartridges became a thing.

Here’s an interesting thought/angle on this topic:

A further check showed that all the network blocks are owned by one organization—Tencent [4]. I’m seriously thinking that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) encourage this with maybe the hope of externalizing the cost of the Great Firewall [5] to the rest of the world.

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es it is designed that way on purpose 🤣

Surprisingly, the sky got quite some lovely colors this evening. I approve! https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-08-21/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck yeah, have fun! :-) We never had a matrix printer, started off with a cathode ray tube and an inkjet pisser.

I’m happy to see you compose your first twtxt message using ed on your new output device. We definitely need video proof of that! ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, yeah. I never bothered with them.

We went out an hour earlier to escape the rain. But we got drizzled on, nevertheless. As expected, the rain jacket was finally wet on both the out- and inside. Sweating under that plasic layer is unavoidable with these temperatures. It was still a very nice walk and great vibe with the gray soup. Just right. :-)

Didn’t bring my camera, I guarantee that it would have gotten soaking wet.

Sooooooooo, things happened, and I now have a dot matrix printer again. 😍😂

(One of the end goals is to simulate a hardcopy terminal on my old box. I’m waiting for another cable to arrive, I don’t have USB there. And then use ed(1) like it was meant to be used! 😅)

ça avance bien mes essais sur mon plaintext to html. J’ai fait le + dur en C avec les balises audio, video et img. :)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net It’s too real, isn’t it? 🤣

The GPG signatures of my software tarballs have been wrong for years (because I’ve been using rsync wrong, funny enough, it wasn’t a GPG issue) and nobody ever noticed. (They still are wrong at the moment, because I haven’t pushed the fix, yet.)

This confirms that this is just a total waste of time. Nobody ever checks this. Maybe this matters if you’re a distro, but why even bother as a single person …

Geil, Staffel 10 von Feuer & Flamme ist da! https://www.ardmediathek.de/serie/feuer-und-flamme/staffel-10/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9mZXVlcnVuZGZsYW1tZQ/10

@thecanine@twtxt.net Wow. I’m not an artist in any way, but I have tried to make icons for programs or fonts every now and then. Making something that is still recognizable at so few pixels is hard. Hats off!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wut da fuq?! 🤯

@thecanine@twtxt.net Haha I thought myself there might ahve been too many pixels on the tail, but I’m no expert in this field 🤣 It’s still a nice canine though! 👌

@thecanine@twtxt.net My daughter (who is pretty good already at art and only 10 :D) says this looks like a “blob” 🤣 I tried to explain to her that this is pixel art, but I’m not quite sure she has the same appreciation (yet) 😅

After around 3 years, I managed to make my “smallest recognizable canine”, even smaller. So here’s the all new, smallest recognizable canine 2.0:

je suis en train de travailler sur du gemtext amélioré. J’ai déjà le code awk qui fonctionne bien, ~200 LOC. Demain je me colle à l’implémentation en C, puis quand c’est prêt je publie ma ‘pot’, c’est à dire les ‘prx opinionated text’

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fucking hell!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ucycling just rocks to hard!

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, I bet you could use it for a myriad of things! :-D

Please enjoy this horrible madness: https://userinyerface.com/game.html

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ooooh! I wish I had that mallet here at work today. So many uses come to mind! 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very nice! I fully agree, I really like listening to him, too.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Well, now that is pretty impressive. Upcycling ftw.

@bender@twtxt.net There are all sorts of pallets. I made my wooden mallet from a heavy duty beech pallet a few years ago:

Oh yes, this guy is so cool. I think the next machines I need are a thickness planer and a big dust collector with at least hose 100mm diameter! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you have sent me down the rabbit hole now. That guy is a true wizard!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s so cool! I had to do some research, as I thought all pallets were made using cheap pine wood (which is quite soft), but, boy, as I erring big time! Oak it is also used, which is hardwood, and quite durable.

Finalement utiliser l’urn tag: est plus simple :)

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

promis je fais du menage après

Bon forcément, j’ai quelques erreurs à corriger avant

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

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah i have wireguard to my three VPS regions that act as my ingress.

Thanks for the greetings! This is a pretty neat little network you’ve got going here. 😁

I have no IPv4 ingress. Only Egress via CgNAT

I’m really digging this twtxt thing… So simple, but so powerful

Is this thing on?

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure is. I wonder how many websites I’ll have to just completely opt out of because of it.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yeah it’s pretty terrible these days. Most recent trouble I had was something as simple as installing and setting up the Tailscale client. On literally all my other devices (Linux and Android) that was a cinch, but on Windows…. ohh boy, I had to mess around with reg edits and all sorts of crap and eventually bludgeoned it into working, but it was a bloody pain.
