Am Sonnabend ist es wieder so weit: ESC 20235. Gestern wurde die zweite Hälfte der Kandidaten für das Finale bestimmt. https://eurovision.tv/event/basel-2025/grand-final

Mir gefällt, dass viele Lieder in Landessprache vorgetragen werden. Meine Favoriten sind:

  • 🇮🇹 Italien
  • 🇱🇻 Lettland
  • 🇱🇹 Litauen
  • 🇵🇹 Portugal

🇩🇪 Deutschland hat mich stimmlich leider nicht überzeugt, auch wenn die Musik einen mitnehmen kann - aber für die kann ich ja eh nicht abstimmen.

In-reply-to » (#2s6kqsa) @lyse what is the advantage for keeping it small? Will tt/tt2 bog down if your feed isn't rotated?

@bender@twtxt.net basically because we don’t readily use or support range hunters when requesting feeds it’s ideal to keep feed small for the time being at least until we think about writing up a formal specification for this, but it’s also only for Http hosted feeds

In-reply-to » It's this time again to archive another quarter. I should do this probably monthly to keep the main feed small.

y’Know what, I’ve never thought about rotating my twtxt feed before. Hopefully noting is broken now that I’ve #YOLO-ed my way at it xD

Grok’s “daddy” teaching it the good stuff early on:

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has been repeatedly mentioning “white genocide” in South Africa in its responses to unrelated topics and telling users it was “instructed by my creators” to accept the genocide “as real and racially motivated”.

In-reply-to » (#3vq6y3a) @lyse @kat There are two more shops that sell the “classic” Tuxes: https://ixsoft.de and https://www.steiner-plueschshop.de – both German shops, though. 🥴 Anyway, if you can make one yourself, that’d be extra cool. 😃

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, made in Germany explains the prices. Surprisingly, buying via the reseller is much cheaper than purchasing it from the manufacturer directly. WTF. O_o

In-reply-to » (#ychqfuq) @bender Basically the way I'm reading this is 1 RPM. This is a rather aggressive rate limit actually. This basically makes Github inaccessible and useless for basically anything unless you're logged in. You can basically kiss "pursuing" casually, anonymously goodbye.

@prologic@twtxt.net right. I wonder what prompted the measure. Perhaps Microsoft doesn’t want any scrapper but Copilot to be lurking around? That might even sound as anti-competitive. I wonder how long will it take for lawsuits to kick in.

@bender@twtxt.net I normally don’t myself either, but that saide, I think that’s kind of @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s point right? This new unauthenticated rate limit is absurd! 😱 You may as well just fucking 403 Forbidden and be done with it 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net that will not be a problem; as long as it doesn’t affect authenticated users it wouldn’t make a difference. But we are comparing apples and eggs here. I don’t access GitHub while unauthenticated, but I can see how others might. It comes across as anti-web in general.

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah a friend of mine ran into that after they forgot to log in while we were working on something together, it was nuts lol

like wouldn’t it be easier to do proof of work or something?!?!

Imagine if I imposed that kind of rate limit on twtxt.net?! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, “60 requests per hour”, eh? Was that a thing (that is, unauthenticated access to GitHub)?! I know I am on the minority, perhaps, as I rarely (or never) access GitHub unauthenticated.

In-reply-to » (#dwvxbsq) @kat I was about to say that you can always just buy one, but apparently that’s not so easy anymore?! What the heck happened? 🤨 There used to be several shops here in Germany that sold a variety of Tux plushies, but none of that exists anymore … 😳

E daquela vez que o nosso miúdo nos pediu a música do Luca Pónio?

Passámos horas, dias a tentar perceber o que ele queria, pesquisámos pelo Luca Pónio e nada.

Até que pusemos a rolar uma das preferidas dele, o I Will Survive (versão dos Cake), e eis que chega o verso:

“I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A quick search revealed https://www.tux-onlineshop.de/plueschtiere next door to you, but these tuxes look rather ugly. Also, shipping to the US&A is 60 bucks. I bet @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s sister can do better. :-)

I have zero mental energy for programming at the moment. 🫤

I’ll try to implement the new hashing stuff in jenny before the “deadline”. But I don’t think you’ll see any texudus development from me in the near future. ☹️

In-reply-to » I'm thinking of bringing back filters (this time not as a feature flag, just baked in): New filters: Hide Feed, Hide Bots, Hide News, Media Only, No Replies, Local Only — toggle to trim noise & surface the Twts you care about.

That should minimise the need for muting all those awkward feeds, I figure. :-D Sounds good!

I’m also thinking of adding eye-off icon next to every Twt that, when clicked, hides that feed (tooltip: “Hide this feed”). This would work with the filters as a “temporary additive filter” to restrict/control the current view.

#<2025-05-10T19:34:00+00:00 https://andros.dev/texudus.txt> Nice:) And is this implemented in your client as well? I’ve started to brainstorm on how to parse texudus in php, but I guess it could snatch some code from you?
