Hey, @prologic@twtxt.net, allow the <u>
tag, maybe?
Not even the slightest chance on the link. Like an absolute zero. On the hashtag, I subscribe.

Wow! 😮 That’s huge!
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci OMFG! Dear jebus, look at the size of that! :-/ It is just a matter of time until one of those randomly falls on any of us. Just incredible!
@bender@twtxt.net Hehe this is soo true 🤣 And I hate it 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net so is Yarn. twtxt.net is a “top heavy” instance. :-P
Is it really that fucking hard to use decentralized, Self-Hosted tech? 🤔 Or do people just not know how? 😢
@bender@twtxt.net Yes yes but this is exactly my point! We again have a social network claiming to be “decentralized” only to have “ top heavy” instances 🤣 – Mastodon is the same too 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net you can run your own Personal Data Server (PDS), to which you login to, and your data is kept. If you use BlueSky servers, you are at their mercy.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Hang on a minute!!! 😱
This rapid growth led some users to encounter the occasional error that would state there were ‘Not Enough Resources’ to handle requests, as Bluesky engineers scrambled to keep the servers stable under the influx of new sign-ups,”
I thought BlueSky was supposed to be a decentralized social metwork?! 🤦♂️
Bluesky Adds 2 Million New Users After Brazil’s X Ban

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Very interesting! 🤔What makes this “offline” first though? 🤔
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Interestinf 🤔 Thanks for supporting the work we’ve done too! Happy to hear improvement suggestions too 👌
@movq@www.uninformativ.de All totally makes sense actuallly 🤣
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Ah, thanks for reporting back! Okay, so you’re basically manually “crawling” feeds right now. 🤔 What do you think about the idea of adding something like # follow_notify = gemini://foo/bar
to your feed’s metadata, so that clients who follow you can ping that URL every now and then? How would you even notice that, do you regularly read your gemini logs? 🤔
And the bonus read is also interesting:

Confession: I completely forgot that Alt+Tab existed in text mode. 🤦 It’s not even a hidden feature, it’s advertised right when you start a fullscreen dos box. Well, Alt+Tab wasn’t a thing I did regularly anyway – it was usually Ctrl+Esc to open the window list (which also worked in OS/2). 🤔 I think I only started using Alt+Tab when Windows 95 removed Ctrl+Esc (because it had no use anymore, it essentially got replaced by the tasklist).
Interesting read about the Windows 95 bluescreen by Raymond Chen:

All this Virtual Machine Manager stuff went completely over my head back then … 🤯
Introduction to JuiceFS | JuiceFS Document Center – Thinking about using JuiceFS to solve a long-running problem I’ve always had.
- Be able to run services on any node in my cluster and let Docker Swarm pick whatever node it likes (instead of now where I have to pin some workloads to specific nodes, as that’s where their local storage volume is)
- Manage the scalability of data and growth over time instead of what I do now which is to extend EXT4 filesystems on my Docker Swarm nodes every few years.
@bender@twtxt.net Yeah that’s for sure 👍 I use the Monaco font normally. Been using that for a few years now.
I understand now. I figured it would be something like this, because zooming in on pixelated fonts makes them “blocky”, and overall unreadable.
We sure have come a long way to make things better for people with far from perfect vision. It also makes me appreciate the vision I have.
Which font do you use at the Terminal?
As a reminder, this is how zoomed in I normally am to read anything at all, Try doing this on the website 🤣
Fonts for me have to be crisp, sharp, without any crooked edges or boxed shapes. It has to be crisp and sharp at all zoom levels!
@bender@twtxt.net That’s just it, “pixelated” fonts are rubbish! 🤣 Imagine being blind for a moment, how well do you think you could read any of the text? 😅 I can’t even read it zoomed in! LOL 😝
@prologic@twtxt.net really? Are you talking about the website design, or the font itself? The font is a monospaced variant, relatively good looking for a pixel font.
@bender@twtxt.net Ita disgusting 🤮 I can’t read shit 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a font. An awesome font. 😊
@xuu@txt.sour.is Good night
anything with McKinsey on it just means finding reasons to fire staff.
its sad all the links off that page are broken.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net AI not living up to its hype?! Shock! Horror! 😱🤣 #AI
wut da fuq is this?! 🤣
@bender@twtxt.net I have not hmmm 🤔
@xuu Haha 🤣
UGT timezone. Morning is when you arrive. Night is when you leave.
I figure most of you might have seeing this, but nevertheless: https://departuremono.com/ is awesome!
@prologic@twtxt.net and this is why I think “good day!” is the most accurate greeting. It refers to the 24 hours period of time, regardless of what hour it might be. 🤭
I love retailers that sell a variety of werid stuff. Add leevalley.com to sciplus.com and countycomm.com.
@shreyan@twtxt.net Good morning! 🥱
Good Afternoon, twtxtrs!!
I’ve been sketching out some gemini-specific offline social stuff here https://ix.cyb.red/wiki/pikabu, but for the online parts i’d be willing to adopt what tw.txt protocols work under the constraints of gemini

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de my setup is pretty old-school tw.txt hosting-wise. just a text file and a very simple static bridge for pikkulog-style subscribers on gemini. i do try to keep up on the twtxt format spec so i’m publishing a modern and well-formed feed. my dual-hosted website/gemcapsule is meant to eventually be entirely bespoke (my friend wrote the gemini server i’m using, so that counts enough for now) and i’d like to eventually support some of the server extensions that yarn has piloted. follow-wise, rn i kinda just manually try to pick up on who is following me by browsing random feeds. my custom clients usually do a FoaF crawl, but i don’t have anything that really works running rn.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! :-D
@bender@twtxt.net Hah! 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net if you do anything about those two protocols, please consider implementing something for UUCP. 😏
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was never aware of this. I see the utility but I’m glad they got rid of it.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Quick! Play the lottery! HURRY!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, not looking forward to disease-spreading mozzies and critters like that. We must become @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no’s neighbors. :-)
