@prologic@twtxt.net Actually, my twts from the last two days aren’t showing up on , so I guess that no-one is following me and the reason my earlier twts did show up is that yarnd does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member. Comments in the code suggest that this is the case, see internal/server.go, commit 7dcec70e, line 468. As the author of that code, can you confirm/deny?

In-reply-to » Say no to cordless peripherals! Real mice have tails! (I just like not having to charge and/or swap out batteries all the time)

I do not notice any lag with my Logitech Lift. Haven’t changed the inital battery from July last year yet. I have to say I’m rather impressed. The only reason for this cordless mouse is that I haven’t found a vertical mouse with a tail. Otherwise, I’d 100% taken that.

In-reply-to » The WordPress ecosystem has lost its mind… - YouTube 👈 This is a pretty good summary of how fucked up the Wordpress ecosystem is now thanks to Mat 🤦‍♂️ (not that I've ever used Wordpress uggh 💩)

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 🤣 To be honest, I don’t really have an opinion either way, I think what he’s done is a bit “silly” of course, but I dunno. I’ve never. been invested in Wordpress as I said. I’d like to think I’d behave much better than Mat in a similar circumstance, but then again I’m not lucky? enough to be in that position (stink’n rich and wealthy), so who knows 😅

@asquare@asquare.srht.site And let’s not forget the additional input lag! 😅 I have one wireless mouse, a Logitech M705, and the lag is noticeable. Maybe it’s a cheap model, I don’t know, I don’t use it that often. The batteries last forever, though. 🥴

@prologic@twtxt.net Bluetooth still classifies as connecting remotely. The attacker has to be in close proximity, but yeah. If you use it only where noone else is around, you’re fine. :-)

If you mean, remote code execution, none of these devices are remotely, even connected to anything that resembles any kind of network connectivity.

The only advantage of the Renogy over the KickAss/ITech models is it has Bluetooth monitoring and an App capabilities so you can check the state of the battery/charging/etc from your phone.

More interesting aspects about Antenna:

At first, I thought that Antenna acted like a “traditional” blog aggregator, but that’s not really the case. You know, with a blog aggregator, you would normally contact the owner and ask them to include your feed. That step is not needed with Antenna.

So, when someone publishes a blog/gemlog post and you would like to “reply” to it, you can just do that: Write your post and then publish the link on Antenna. This means your Gemini capsule doesn’t need to be well known in order to participate. If I read something interesting and would like to reply, I could do that right now – instead of having to wait for the webmaster of the aggregator to include/unlock my feed.

Also, it’s just arbitrary Gemini links in Antenna – unlike a blog aggregator, where everything is a blog post. So I just saw someone publishing a link titled “A wild twtxt appears” and that’s just a link to their twtxt file.

In many ways, this thing is a bit more like a forum than a blog aggregator. Or maybe you could also call it a “bus”.

In-reply-to » @prologic would you please check my web interface? is that a normal thing or am I missing something?

Web interface is deleted in https://git.mills.io/saltyim/saltyim/commit/376de2702319686c902ec03b8ca1e17b020fc639 but seems incorrectly (in source i see git lfs metadata).

In-reply-to » @anth (I’m also a bit confused by the UTF-8 topic. I thought that the original twtxt spec has always mandated UTF-8 for the content. Why’s that an issue now? 😅 Granted, my client also got this wrong in the past, but it has been fixed ~3 years ago.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah this is why thin @anth@a.9srv.net is that and that any v2 spec we get around to actually publishing with far better quality than the bullshit half-baked attempt I tried to 🤣; should just mandate utf-8 period. Just assume it to be true, there is no other content encoding we should ever support 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh, I see. So it’s not really a drama. 😅

(When the spec says “content is UTF-8”, then it kind of follows for me that I should set Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8. Lots of feeds don’t do that, though, which is why jenny ignores the header altogether and always decodes as UTF-8.)
