All sorts of .de domains don’t resolve right now. But not all, movq.de for example still works. All on our server and basically all major other sites are cactus. Maybe some DENIC problem? I’m too tired to investigate, but I’m looking forward to tomorrow to read some report on that. :-) Good night.

@bender@twtxt.net It’s been a while (6.5 years) since I’ve done this. I’d do it like this:

• Boot some Linux from a USB stick on the new machine. Preferably Arch Linux, since that is what I’m running and that’ll make the upcoming chroot easier.
  
• Partition the new disk, create LUKS devices, filesystems, …
  
• Mount the new filesystems and copy all data (user data and the system itself – everything). Do this either over the network or by hooking up the old disk directly.
  
• chroot into the new system (Arch has an arch-chroot tool for that which is used during normal installation, if I’m not mistaken). Inside the chroot, install the bootloader.
  
• Do some fixups, like adjusting /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab.
  

And I think that should be it. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These days (and it’s been like that for a while), almost everything is loaded on-demand depending on which hardware the OS finds, so you can simply copy all your files with cp -a, install a bootloader, adjust some minor things /etc/fstab, done. Well, maybe not “done”, but it’s easy to sort out the remaining stuff afterwards.

I’ve moved the Arch installation at work from a stationary Dell workstation to an Acer laptop to a Lenovo Carbon laptop to a Tuxedo laptop to a Lenovo Thinkpad. 😅

Yeah, the keyboard of the netbook isn’t all that great, but I have to say that I absolutely love netbooks. And I hate that they got replaced by tablets and smartphones. A netbook is a normal PC, just very small and super easy to carry around – that’s brilliant!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Turns out, this actually was a little machine once (small netbook): https://movq.de/blog/postings/2011-04-28/0/POSTING-de.html And then I moved the whole installation to a different laptop later. I love that you can easily do that on Linux.

I like the new GitHub:

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, lol, it’s literally called that: https://www.queensland.com/au/en/places-to-see/experiences/nature-and-wildlife/everything-to-know-about-natural-bridge 😂

Just missed the 15th anniversary of the Linux installation on my laptop:

$ head -n 1 /var/log/pacman.log

With all these new ways of digital publishing, I’m wondering for years why music artists still release entire albums. I would have imagined that most bands simply publish a new song whenever it’s good to go. But no, at least in my bubble, everybody still collects a bunch of new songs before throwing them as a collection into the crowd. I never used any of these streaming services, though, so maybe I’m just completely uninformed.

The weathermen just cannot be right with their 20°C today, it must have been more. It was awfully hot, the light breeze was not enough and even absent most of the time. In the shade, it was alright. Other than that, the walk to the dairy farm and back was really beautiful. Very lovely scenery.

Somebody spilled their paintbox at sunset. Unfortunately, I missed to reinsert the SD card into my camera, so I could not take more photos of Azabache and his new mate. They quickly disappeared. He even landed right next to my window, so that would have been a killer shot.

It’s been so long since I last posted here

i closed spotify and netflix accounts some months ago, now netflix send emails every day asking me to return for .99 and recommending me shows that i’ve never been interested in, 11 email so far, are they are so desperate! spotify is silent for now:)

Where in the world is Jamesldo?

That’s a very interesting thought and I agree: https://benhoyt.com/writings/dependencies/

First twtxt after upgrading (as I don’t want a reply to count as one).

Hey all my dear twtxters! Again, please have a look at https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/28 so that we can button the Twt Hash v2 Extension up soon. Love to get some feedback, comments, questions, doubts, critiques, improvements, etc.

When are the RAM/SSD prices going down?

@kiwu@twtxt.net after you upload, make sure the audio file looks like this:
![](https://twtxt.net/media/0a1ca4e84f4edf89474fc459cf3c1372.mp3)
And it will work.

Testing…

And here we go! Yup, hash has seven.

Testing jenny. You should probably ignore this, and the next twtxt.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me that’s odd. In here is similar, but not random. All it takes is some rain, and then flip a coin: we may, or may not lose power.

Third power failure in two weeks. Every time a different apartment loses power at the same time as mine. I hope the power company is able to find the cause.

@prologic@twtxt.net it does! it wont let me do it like that tho

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no dice. Same.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think it is anything you are doing wrong. I think it is on @prologic@twtxt.net side. I am getting the exact same result, but I never cloned that repository. Maybe it worked fine at certain point, when @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org cloned it, but I doubt brand new users can get through.

For the record, the third thing is to activate agent forwarding. In ~/.ssh/config:

Host git.mills.io
ForwardAgent yes

😱😱😱

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me LOL. Do it, do it!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “deep layers of the Mills infrastructure” LOL.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me it is called, in Spanish, “the mother”. It is created through a bit (not by much) effort, and kept as a starting point. Just like Asian cuisine has dishes that never cool, always cooking leaving always a base on it.

How do you think a lathe (and just about any tool, etc.) is done? Yup, in part by using a lathe. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Somehow, the enshittificator himself does not have to deal with enshittification in his own life. In fact, his job gets better with the internet! This can only mean one thing, we all have to becom…

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats, mate, no sleep at night anymore! ;-D That’s a cool age measuring blanket. Haven’t seen something like that before.

Btw. the index.html includes an out of place </ul>. And I just wanna let you know that the full-size photos don’t load for me over here across the pond. They always run into a timeout after a few slooow percent. But no worries. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net You need a running SSH agent in order to make it through the deep layers of the Mills infrastructure: After ssh-add, git pull always works for me.

And contrary to what the UI shows, the username git always has to be replaced with your own one.

For what is worth, I get the same thing when trying over ssh. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net network is very secure! 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de just use https instead:

git clone https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Upf_B9RLQ

“A proud tradition, but it is hard work. Enter… The Internet!”

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org congratulations mate! Let it be joy, and happiness! Enjoy every moment. Time will fly, and next you know you will be a curmudgeon who knows nothing. 😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats! 🥳

Hmm I think it’s a bug in the Javascript. It’s meant to be ![title](url)

Does that work?

I turned off indexing and anonymous access i think? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Lets bend it!

Hello twtxt! I still exist. I have a baby now and put some pictures at https://photos.falsifian.org/ . Album HTML loosely inspried by @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

@kiwu@twtxt.net those moods don’t play, they download. 😩

@thecanine@twtxt.net sorry to hear that, mate. Don’t worry, something better will come up. After all, it has got to be easy to beat Android, right? :-)
