Forlinx FET MX95xx C System on Module for Industrial and IoT Applications
Forlinx Embedded has introduced the FET-MX95xx-C System on Module, built around the high-performance NXP i.MX95xx processor for industrial, automotive, and IoT applications. Key features include a 10GbE port, dual GbE ports, CAN interfaces, camera support, and multiple wireless protocols. Unlike the FET3562J-C SoM, this new Forlinx device is powered by the NXP i.MX95xx processor. It

I built another small shelf for the drill press. I upcycled the wooden sticks from New Year rockets that littered the neighborhood. I really love the rustic look of it: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/tischbohrmaschinenregal/

When I glued the shelf between the posts of the stand, I tightened the long clamp too hard, ripping the back panel and shelf board apart. So, I had to reglue them. :-)

Righto, @eapl.me@eapl.me, ta for the writeup. Here we go. :-)

Metadata on individual twts are too much for me. I do like the simplicity of the current spec. But I understand where you’re coming from.

Numbering twts in a feed is basically the attempt of generating message IDs. It’s an interesting idea, but I reckon it is not even needed. I’d simply use location based addressing (feed URL + ‘#’ + timestamp) instead of content addressing. If one really wanted to, one could hash the feed URL and timestamp, but the raw form would actually improve disoverability and would not even require a richer client. But the majority of twtxt users in the last poll wanted to stick with content addressing.

yarnd actually sends If-Modified-Since request headers. Not only can I observe heaps of 304 responses for yarnds in my access log, but in Cache.FetchFeeds(…) we can actually see If-Modified-Since being deployed when the feed has been retrieved with a Last-Modified response header before: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/commit/98eee5124ae425deb825fb5f8788a0773ec5bdd0/internal/cache.go#L1278

Turns out etags with If-None-Match are only supported when yarnd serves avatars (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/commit/98eee5124ae425deb825fb5f8788a0773ec5bdd0/internal/handlers.go#L158) and media uploads (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/commit/98eee5124ae425deb825fb5f8788a0773ec5bdd0/internal/media_handlers.go#L71). However, it ignores possible etags when fetching feeds.

I don’t understand how the discovery URLs should work to replace the User-Agent header in HTTP(S) requests. Do you mind to elaborate?

Different protocols are basically just a client thing.

I reckon it’s best to just avoid mixing several languages in one feed in the first place. Personally, I find it okay to occasionally write messages in other languages, but if that happens on a more regularly basis, I’d definitely create a different feed for other languages.

Isn’t the emoji thing “just” a client feature? So, feed do not even have to state any emojis. As a user I’d configure my client to use a certain symbol for feed ABC. Currently, I can do a similar thing in tt where I assign colors to feeds. On the other hand, what if a user wants to control what symbol should be displayed, similar to the feed’s nick? Hmm. But still, my terminal font doesn’t even render most of emojis. So, Unicode boxes everywhere. This makes me think it should actually be a only client feature.

@bender@twtxt.net cos I live outside the United States and they don’t send to my country

@bender@twtxt.net I have my radio shack a mess

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, the principle of data economy. :-)

Btw. if you blindly run the command again in a few days, your query might match new feeds that are not included in today’s list. Hence, some accounts might be dropped without a warning. But then, they probably don’t care.

Hehe, thank you guys, I’m still alive :)

Hey @eapl.me@eapl.me, your feed is broken. All U+2028 got transformed into newlines.

Fsck democrats! Don’t mourn, organize!

I wish I had someone who could send me the Hacker Decals and Patch from Hackerboxes. Mail forwarding systems are so expensive!

I have lots of things to do at home. All I need is more energy.

@bender@twtxt.net i am a huge fan of CW. My training sessions gave me 50wpm proficiency. But one needs to keep practicing.

@bender@twtxt.net yes. Today, FT8 is widely used, but I prefer Robust Packet and telegraphy.

@wbknl@twtxt.net It’s probably okay for things like Twtxt which are designed to be in the open anyway 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net right. Encryption is not allowed by legislation.

@wbknl@twtxt.net The only thing I know about the HAM Radio space is that it’s considered “taboo” to encrypt the traffic. So that makes secure IP a bit difficult to say the least right? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net yes, I am. @prologic@twtxt.net IP over hamradio works fine. We can request IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

@wbknl@twtxt.net Ahh none that I’m aware of. I’ve thought about getting into HAM Radio myself, but haven’t so far…

@bender@twtxt.net I mean I’ve thought about it! It’s an intriguing idea to be able to have basic IP over HAM Radio 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net i think i didn’t explain myself correctly. I was wondering how many twtxt.net users are hams.

@wbknl@twtxt.net How do you mean? How do you think that would even work? 🤔

I wonder how many hamradio operators use twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net Not too big. Its 13.7 x 10 x 5.

One of my quirks—don’t ask me why—is collecting backpacks, bags, patches, and watches, especially those related to aviation and the military. Just yesterday, I added a Direct Action Messenger bag and a 5.11 backpack to my collection.

@bender@twtxt.net they revel in their blindness. Roll within their stink.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Also welcome back 🤗

@eapl.me@eapl.me There’s some good ideas in this 👌 I think we can definitely incorporate some of them pretty easily already. Others will have to be discussed, and some other bits like hashing and edits are a bit more controversial.

@bender@twtxt.net Ouch, that’s rought 😢

@bender@twtxt.net You gotta laugh at the stupidy of the world don’t you? 🤣

Let it sink in how the richest person on the planet was EXTREMELY directly involved in getting his preferred candidate in the US presidency seat.

I’ve been thinking of a few improvements for the next generation of twtxt spec, let me know if these are useful or interesting :) https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version

I am so sorry.

@wbknl@twtxt.net You are not 🤗

@prologic@twtxt.net tell me I’ not alone in my suffering

After testing Vivaldi for a couple of weeks I am convinced this is a great browser and to support the team behind it, I decided to start sending them a couple of Euro monthly, just to keep the momentum going.

So let’s recap… We’ve got Putin waging war against Ukraine. Netanyahu waging war against Palestine. Iran getting involved. Kim Jong Un helping Russia and sending soldiers as resources for Putin’s war. And now Trump has won a 2nd term in the US where we’ll see him scrap EU sanctions and fines against US companies violating EU laws and what else? 🤔

What dafuq is wrong with this world?! 🌍

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Fuck 🤦‍♂️

If all Orange Face Elefant party voters would take them on their words and make them actually do whatever insane world they invented, then perhaps people will realize the grave mistake that was made today. Many people have to feel consequences before they believe it. I hope there will still be history books in the future to disclose the insanity for future generations. But whatever happens, the World will keep spinning…

Trump Wins US Presidency For Second Time
Major media outlets are beginning to declare former President Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election. As with previous election announcements on Slashdot, this is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.

@wbknl@twtxt.net Welcome to the twtxt-iverse!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta! Absolutely, go for it. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, it’s only now that I got it… :-D

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks mate! It just occurred to me the other night that my alt choices are not the best. I should probably fix them.

This also reminds me of a JS snippet my mate wrote for navigation in browsers that don’t support incrementing numbers in the URLs. I’m using Tridactyl in Firefox and can Ctrl+A/Ctrl+X myself through albums with properly named files.

@wbknl@twtxt.net I feel you 🤗

I feel exhausted, burned out. The workload just keeps piling up, and there’s less and less time to rest. What keeps me going are these little escapes to the smolweb.

@wbknl@twtxt.net No worries 😉

@prologic@twtxt.net you’re right, thanks. It wasn’t any kind of narcissistic tic :)

@wbknl@twtxt.net Btw you don’t need to mention yourself when composing a new Twt (I think maybe you’re doing it from your profile view?) Just expand the box at the top of the Timeline or Discover views.

I was looking for a sling pack to carry my geeky items and I found one: RUSH® MOAB™ 8 Sling Pack 13L

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The world at large is becoming desensitized.The few of us (we) are just becoming sick of it 😅 There’s a word for this, but I can’t think of it right now 🤦‍♂️

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com many thanks. I hope you like them :)

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net Hi 👋

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. All I saw was boring bad news. Even the Tech news doesn’t grab my attention anymore

@prologic@twtxt.net Hi Prologic! How you doin’?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com For context @wbknl@twtxt.net reach out to my on #Yarn.social on IRC to ask for an account on my pod 😅 Glad folks pay attention to the Join messaging 🥳

@wbknl@twtxt.net i’m currently working on my cyberpunk novella: W3bK3rN3l’s Radio Outpost

In the neon haze of a crumbling world, where the sky pulsed with the electric glow of a million flickering screens, Dmitri (aka dMHz) stood sentinel over the void. The echoes of the Russian military compound he once called home lingered like ghosts in his mind—flashes of chaos, the roar of an explosion that shattered the air and his life, propelling him into the cold embrace of space aboard a battered Gemini capsule.

Another new email handling strategy I am applying is agressively deleting everything that I don’t need to keep for some reason.

This data selling shit needs to be more heavily criminalized.

@bender@twtxt.net take care buddy, Have fun! … and, I can stick a pinky in a tangerine like I’m five and it’s orange, does that count?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, it sounds like homework! 🤔 I’m IN!! 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I like the unstacked one better, too. But still a nice experiment I have to say. :-)

Went on a really cool walk today after the sun came out this arvo. Just 11°C and a fair bit of wind required a scarf and beanie. I love the autumn colors a lot and never tire of looking at them.

On the summit the view was absolutely terrible, because there were super low hanging clouds. But it still looked fairly spectacular. Very surreal, I could not make out the edge of the Swabian Alb. The haze just blended with the rest of the sky. Towards the sun it was just one giant white wall after half a kilometer or so. That doesn’t happen all that often here.

After dusk I saw five deer on a meadow. Well their outlines against the remaining backlit sky.
