@eapl.me@eapl.me I wouldn’t call it natural, it is the way Bluesky decided to handle handles (not meaning to make a pun, or anything). There is no other way, but that.

The bottomline is, there are agreed upon “standards”, right? From example, on Yarnd you show as “eapl.me”, from “eapl.me”. A kind of weird redundancy because on twtxt, ever since I started using it, one will expect to see a “nick” (equivalent to a person’s first name), from “a domain” (like a surname).

There is nothing holding back someone from giving themselves the nick:

thisismyawesomenickforwhichiwillbeknownforeverandeveritsgreatisntit

But, do we really want that? 😅

Exactly, @bender@twtxt.net, I was happily surprised when I discovered it. :-)

I was listening to “Turn On The Night” by Kiss and thought, I very well turn on the light and close the shutters. It’s very dark and stormy outside. The second thunderstorm this year is here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I tried. I am not flaunting screenies because they would bring me shame. 😅

@thecanine@twtxt.net Woof, woof, woof, that’s pretty cool!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Congrats! I wish it was that easy at work here, too. No matter what, 95% of the time I never complete or very often just even work on tasks that I want to get at. So much other rubbish popping up.

hehe, just catching up on this thread! I’ve replied in another that using periods/dots sounds good to me as it’s usual in domains, but perhaps some agreement would be needed. For now I think any character is valid as long as it is not a space.
For example we are using this for PHP twtxt.php#L153

@bender@twtxt.net Hell yeah, that sounds like a good day!

ok! sorry, somehow I’m getting lost in the replies.

@eapl.me@eapl.me he fixed the issue with the dots on nicks. It’s all good now.

Ta, @prologic@twtxt.net! Assuming you mean 13, it’s just some old shed in an orchard. I reckon the owners keep some of their tools in there. They are all over the place around here. To me they look like they were all built like 50 odd years ago or maybe more, not sure. I could be completely wrong. I just like the look of them and actually wanted to capture the dark sky with the rolling in thunderstorm, but my camera had totally other plans. Didn’t work out at all.

on timeline the mention looks OK. Is there an issue on Yarn?

It’s an interesting topic. For example on Bsky it’s natural to allow domains https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial

Although TwiXter only allows (letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 and of underscores)
https://help.x.com/en/managing-your-account/x-username-rules

@prologic@twtxt.net The number of “followers” I had also dropped significantly. 😅 Looks like there were lots of dead accounts.

@bmallred@staystrong.run I know the Marine Corps tenet is “once a Marine, always a Marine”. This guy, though, is the last thing I would think of when it comes to it. Maybe I have Marines at a higher esteem.

Anyway, enough of that. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz which one?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz my rule of thumb is try not to drink any caffeine past midday. This is basically based on experience and the half-life of caffeine in your system.

@bender@twtxt.net amen 🙏

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com sounds like a panic attack to me 🤯

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt I think you’re fine! 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net why i’m changed nick? i may be six with my doesnm.p.psf.lt

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz At least it wasn’t Vibe coding, so just take the win! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net 😆 I might have to make it a Just a Weekend Thing as well. Otherwise, I’ll end up busting a knee, if not an artery.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it’s so funny saying i wrote it lol that shit is made from stackoverflow answers and prayers

i wrote (citation needed) a PHP script thing that does a check for on demand TLS purposes and it works but like only partly? like there’s records in the DB that it 404s on even though. they are very much there. so idk what’s up with that but i’ve worked at this all day i’ll leave it at this for now

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh nooo i’ve been there. i have to balance out my abnormal coffee consumption with my anxiety medication which can’t be good lol

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz awww :(( here’s to tomorrow

@prologic@twtxt.net THANK YOU it’s from a comic i love <3

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com weekend coffee—the one mum brews, not the “dirty water” one can get elsewhere—keeps me jittery the whole day. Like I feel my heart wants out kind of jittery. Coffee sure is some elixir. Don’t give it up! 😅

Also, I should cut down on coffee. Seriously, I’ve nearly had a … I honestly don’t know what it was; A Panic attack? A heart attack? I dunno, I just felt like my heart and lungs were so about to burst I had to go for a run to cope.

@bender@twtxt.net I wish we could fire presidents and Prime Minister’s when the need arises and the people recognize it needs to happen rather than having to wait for the next election

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry! 🤣

HOLLY Mother of Euphoria !! Nothing can beat a late night run, I just hope I don’t regret it by tomorrow morning xD (the usual Knee Pain & Co.)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hey! Love the new avatar 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Holy moly 🤣 Bases on your description you’ve eaten and drunk way more than I have today where all I’ve had so far is three coffees today

”*BOSS (Big Open Source Sibling) é uma iniciativa de mentoria que visa engajar grupos sub representados na tecnologia para que comecem a contribuir para comunidades Open Source.

Nessa mentoria, muito mais do que desenvolver habilidades técnicas, as participantes aprendem competências úteis às comunidades Open Source, como se comunicar, trabalhar de forma assíncrona e remota, desenvolver coletivamente, etc.”

I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.

So, here I am, at home, feeling hungry but guilty and refusing to eat anything else for the rest of the day. To top it off, I have only clocked 4,000 steps today (and I don’t feel like walking). I am going to hell, am I?

task tracking in obsidian with the tasks plugin has gone pretty well today. i’ve completed all but one tasks i had set for today. that makes me really happy

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nooo! glad you’re feeling better but that’s a LOT of rough stuff for one day oof

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “hmmm, marzipan….”

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, and yes, it is good! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t jinx it, comrade. Let’s keep a low profile, and be happy. Also, it should have been: “my pod feels…”, or “my pod twtxt.net feels…”. Come on, mon, you are killing me! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net if not physically, then in a matter of speaking. He is also helping on killing us all (like, all).

My pod twtxt.net feels very clear of late hmmm 🧐 This is good right? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Love those green roll’n hills 👌 Btw, what’s that rickety ‘ol shed in 18? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net So Vance killed the pope? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net Pretty cool! 😎

My Hypothesis for why registries didn’t work and why they still won’t really work today is because the bend the rules of “true” decentralization a bit. Users have to pick one or more registries to “register” to. Why would they want to do this? What is their incentive to do so? Then on the other hand, users need a client that has registry support, but now which registry or sets of registries do you choose?

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ty mana <333 it’s so hard isn’t it

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz so far it’s been better for me! i hope your day improves though <3

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it is funny af don’t worry LMAO

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz noooo hope it gets better

I’m obviously completely biased, but, if you are an educator teaching #Python and using #pygame / #pygamece, do check out #py5 (https://py5coding.org).

I’m sure other sprite & game stuff must be easier in pygame, but I’m adapting a #PyMunk example, and IMHO, events are so much easier in py5…

@thecanine@twtxt.net they just come to you innately, just as breathing, or blinking. And they all look good!

This one just occurred to me randomly.

“Here’s what we do know: After their meeting ended and Vice President Vance left the room, the pope was still alive. We can deduce that he was alive, because he was heard asking an assistant, “Ho appena incontrato il volto del diavolo?” which roughly translates to, “Have I just encountered the face of the devil?” It’s a very common question that has been asked in many languages after encounters with JD Vance.”

I couldn’t help but chuckling a bit while reading.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, this is so cool! :‘-D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz And tasty! :-) Turns out there’s marzipan in the bunny belly. Yum-yum!

by commenting out DMs are you giving up on simplicity? See the Metadata extension holding the data inside comments, as the client doesn’t need to show it inside the timeline.

I don’t think that commenting out DMs as we are doing for metadata is giving up on simplicity (it’s a feature already), and it helps to hide unwanted DMs to clients that will take months to add it’s support to something named… an extension.

For some other extensions in https://twtxt.dev/extensions.html (for example the reply-to hash #abcdfeg or the mention @ < example http://example.org/twtxt.txt >) is not a big deal. The twt is still understandable in plain text.
For DM, it’s only interesting for you if you are the recipient, otherwise you see an scrambled message like 1234567890abcdef=. Even if you see it, you’ll need some decryption to read it. I’ve said before that DMs shouldn’t be in the same section that the timeline as it’s confusing.

So my point stands, and as I’ve said before, we are discussing it as a community, so let’s see what other maintainers add to the convo.

@bmallred@staystrong.run Nice! 👌

Sorry, more pixels:

@bender@twtxt.net wut?! 😮

I don’t understand how come this isn’t more on the news. It is a extremely big problem, that has very long lasting repercussions. Yet, news are mum.

@prologic@twtxt.net The Mouse is the superstar! Go Mouse, go Mouse! 🎉🎉🎉

This is fixed now 🥳 Thanks @xuu@txt.sour.is!

I should be working on my PhD but I’m distracted by:

• My mouse scrolling wheel is jumpy and I can’t fix it, I’ve done many searches about the problem.
  
• I have an external SSD drive for backup that works perfectly on another computer but is not recognized at all on my main computer (no mention of it on lsusb).

@bender@twtxt.net I believe that’s the only way. We’ll deal with it as it comes up I think.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a pickle. Then sanitise the outliers. No other way.

@bender@twtxt.net I can fix and make that work in the parser too. But I’m no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It’s too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support . in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a . 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net how about @movq;@twtxt.net and @lyse;.@twtxt.net Will that work?

@bender@twtxt.net Yes I know 🤣 It’s okay, we just have to build better parsers 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci totally my fault sorry 😞

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci two things. Conduwuit, a Matrix server written in Rust, is no longer going to be developed. The other is, I didn’t mean to tag you, but because Yarnd was broken it happened. Apologies.

@prologic@twtxt.net having rules like this on a decentralised system is nearly impossible. LOL. Ahhh, one of the many perks of decentralisation!

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

There are 5 of such “Twters” on this pod that have periods in their nick 😢

sqlite> select count(distinct(nick)) from twters where nick like '%.%';
count(distinct(nick)) = 5
sqlite> select distinct(nick) from twters where nick like '%.%';
 nick = @marado@ciberlandia.pt

 nick = eapl.me

 nick = eapl.mx

 nick = grumpygordie.great-site.net

 nick = @chyrp.doesnm.cc

@prologic@twtxt.net I would say “We are going to the adult’s toy store for our yearly haul”, though “going to a house of burlesque” would work too! LOL.

I’ll see if I can fix this and write a test case for what’s going on here. I think this is made difficult now because folks like @eapl.me@eapl.me decide that it’s okay to have a . (period) in their # nick 🤣 tbh I think nick(s) should have rules of what they can and cannot be comprised of. i.e: no punctuation 🤦‍♂️

Whereas @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @bender@twtxt.net are all cool 😎

That’s kind of weird actually. Hmmm @movq,@twtxt.net @lyse,@twtxt.net and @bender@twtxt.net are all cool 😎
