Ugh! May the afflicted get well soon!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org will do my best! 😅 Milton has sustained winds of 270 kph now, but it is still at sea. Once it touches ground it is bound to lose strength.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yes, there is no evacuation going on where we live—Central-East Florida. It will be category 1-2 here. Non-flooding area.

Arriving tomorrow. Finishing all preps as best as we can.

My condolences.

It comes across as the beginning of a “corporate sell out”. Also, links to X, and Threads, but the Fediverse link doesn’t work. Really? Overall, it doesn’t seem right (at least to me). Oh, also Meta on that list: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/09/24/launch/. Nope. Pass.

@xuu@txt.sour.is pretty interesting. The client is pretty polished for an open source app.

@xuu@txt.sour.is now I have it:

@thecanine@twtxt.net I say you are beyond mastering dog’s pixelart! 😊

First time I heard of it. What is an SMP, and can you run it? Let me read about it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! C should run pretty much everywhere, and for a long period of time. Long live C!

Wouldn’t this also apply to C, and Assembler, to mention two? https://registerspill.thorstenball.com/p/glad-i-did-it-in-go

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org forgot to add that this:

people can put red ribbons on their fruit trees to signal that they are free to use for everyone.

Is mighty awesome, and gives a sense of small community. That’s why I asked how big, or small, your town was. 😊

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if I didn’t know we were talking about a protocol, I would think they were referring to an automobile model. 😂

They are going through some traffic pains, I can tell. Bug referencing the commit here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1515352

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, thank you for explaining the process so conscientiously. If I ever come across an apple tree, I now know (or have the text to read and follow) how to make some mean apple sauce. I can tell, though, without a doubt, nothing I can buy off the shelves here would even get close.

How, this is some funny easter egg: https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/man-db.git/commit/src/man.c?id=002a6339b1fe8f83f4808022a17e1aa379756d99

Oh boy… Eugene Rochko’s status. And what a flashy name, “Social Web Foundation”. See the “industry support” header on that page. Don’t like it one bit.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net that, or simply forget you ever found that PDF. 🎶 It’s easy, if you try… 🎶 🤭

@movq@www.uninformativ.de there is much more activity in USENET. 🤭

Joke aside, if anyone using a sane protocol (sorry, sorry, no more jokes!) wants to see what’s been referred about here, without leaving the browser, head over.

@prologic@twtxt.net quoting a friend of mine, C# developer of 25 years now converted to DevOP:

“If you are not using AI everyday, you’re working too much”, and “completely worth it [referring to the use of ChatGPT], no question. Same work output, in less of my time. More breaks for me.”

It is not to rely on it 100%. It’s just a tool.

@prologic@twtxt.net exactly! Supposedly this engagement of his is “blessed” by his lawyers. 🤦🏻‍♂️ He might need better lawyers too!

“You have reached a non-working number at UPS […]” says the recording. If it is a non-working number, it wouldn’t even ring, right? It should have said “You have reached an outgoing calls only number at UPS […]”, or better yet, route outgoing call only numbers to the one we should be calling instead. Problem resolved.

See comments from him (photomatt) on that HN entry.

When you thought he couldn’t be more foolish, he proves you wrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41726197

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org pretty cool! What’s the process that you follow? Share, share! :-)

@xuu@txt.sour.is being contrarian isn’t a problem. Having different opinions force us to think, and make—hopefully—better decisions. We shouldn’t, mustn’t be contrarians, tough, while not offering a viable path forward that makes sense. What I am saying is that after that “so…” of yours needs to come a (or a set of) tangible recommendation(s). 😉

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club and Snapchat, that one is the worse. No, I am not sharing my entire address book. Geez!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I agree. Yet, even with a proposal, it is hard to finally agree to something, because it is not about developing a unique, sole client, but agreeing on a set of “standards” to be used on a handful(?) of clients, make by different people.

Using Mastodon as a—albeit poorly—contrast, they set their road-map, and clients (even other server implementations!) that want to cater/communicate with it using similar APIs will have to adjust. No other way. That doesn’t apply to twtxt.

I think the incremental changes that have been made to twtxt happened kind of slowly for that reason.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com so, did you get approve? What’s your tilde?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com a one way only feed? I can’t see the twtxt you are referring to, but checked the original feed, and they seem not to be engaging with anyone.

@prologic@twtxt.net is base64 more desirable than base32? I noticed I get alphanumeric replacing base64 with base32.

@prologic@twtxt.net I would think we would want to make it as easy as possible. I would favour something that’s most widely and readily available, won’t you?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that is it! Thank you! In comparison, sha256sum is much less complicated. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net indeed. The batcat package under Ubuntu doesn’t install one.

@prologic@twtxt.net you set the MANPATH and man pages install on that location. I found the man page for Ubuntu 24.04, and got it installed now: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/noble/man1/batcat.1.html

In Linux all man pages are under /usr/share/man/. Packages build, and install, their own man pages. Now bat is one of those odd ones that doesn’t.

It bothers me that some tools (namely bat) do not come with their own man pages. I think it goes against the Unix philosophy.

@prologic@twtxt.net the resultant hash doesn’t look anything close to the hashes being used today. Is b2sum generating something else, or what?

@prologic@twtxt.net why sorry? For all we know @movq@www.uninformativ.de won the lottery, and is retiring in Tasmania. :-P

With so many messenger apps, why would anyone use Telegram? 🤯

@prologic@twtxt.net it is funny. What do you think of it? True, or false?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, fancy!

@prologic@twtxt.net how about following the same scheme as Yarn? I mean, I can match colours for visited/non-visited links that work nice, and provide, if that what you would like. What base colour would you like?

@prologic@twtxt.net the links are still problematically coloured, at least on dark mode. See screenshot below.

Image

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I figure it will be the same as those on a tilde server, right? Try https://tilde.town/ !

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. You got me! :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com yeah, but he is shacking his finger at you for your use of markdown, and emoji. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net from IRC:

“Hashes will increase then, and will use SHA256 instead? That is the end result of weeks long discussions, correct?”

@mckinley@twtxt.net they are fighting to make more money. Seeing it any other way is rather naïve.
