🕛 Hi, the current time is about a quarter past six in the evening 🌇.

I mean, granting everyone read access, maybe?

@prologic@twtxt.net that would certainly help a lot. I can’t think of a solution, though.

Is it worth me reaching out to the operator and helping build some solution for their userbase to detect followers? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha! :-D But I actually do like their approach. I don’t know what staff should do differently when they are not involved in the channel topic. At least in the general case. Maybe in this specific scenario here they could have cross-checked domains, git repos and stuff like that. But I also reckon that it’s only fair if they treat everybody the same.

@bender@twtxt.net Of course, I didn’t do anything yet at all. Maybe I will find some time next weekend. Let’s see.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, that’s a hell lot of food! If it doesn’t spoil, it’s easily enough for the rest of your life and all your neighbors and surrounding cities, probably more. :-D

That’s a great font. I like it. It just suits the print style incredibly well. No offence, to the absolute contrary, I would not have thought that you actually designed that. It looks just so right. Hats off! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de they know it is perk worth paying for. Hahahaha!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Have we reached peak enshittification yet?

YouTube is completely broken for me for a week or more. The player doesn’t even load anymore. Trying to limit the search results to real videos doesn’t do shit, etc. It’s useless. But downloading the videos with yt-dlp still works like a dream.

It is harder to regain ownership of an IRC channel than crossing the Mexico/US border. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Actually, @threatcat@tilde.club popped up in my own access log first. That’s how I discovered the feed. :-) So I figured that this feed author actually sees my reply. The hope is that with the next mention of my feed in threatcat’s feed, the other tilde users, who are following threatcat, are then also informed of my existence. :-)

I don’t know how tilde.club is set up. But it should be relatively easy to give all users access to their nginx access logs. Not sure if somebody already requested that or not. But I’d encourage tilde users to ask for that. Maybe also just for twtxt.txt and/or in a custom, reduced log format.

Lol, YouTube supports increasing the playback speed, but when you want to go to 4x, they want you to pay extra:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org There’s a couple of new users on https://tilde.club, but since this is a shared host, I doubt that they have access to their access.log files. Hence they’ll never see followers, unless we notify them out of band. 🫤

Android shopping list apps disappointed me too many times, so I went back to writing these lists by hand a while ago.

Here’s what’s more fun: Write them in Vim and then print them on the dotmatrix printer. 🥳

And, because I can, I use my own font for that, i.e. ImageMagick renders an image file and then a little tool converts that to ESC/P so I can dump it to /dev/usb/lp0.

(I have so much scrap paper from mail spam lying around that I don’t feel too bad about this. All these sheets would go straight to the bin otherwise.)

Image

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get this right. 😅 You never had to configure a systemd timer? Lucky. 😅

I have now permitted the following media types:

image/*
audio/*
video/*
text/*

Done ✅ Will be available on this pod as soon as the publish workflow finished successfully.

@bender@twtxt.net yeah it wasn’t so much of a browser thing, more of a security/abuse thing. If you upload large media, we downsize/downscale it, etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net just store and host. All modern browsers render WebP just fine.

@bender@twtxt.net The only problem with uploading is the procesing. Do you expect any server-side processing of the WebP or just store and host?

@prologic@twtxt.net well, uploading and rendering, yes. Not a priority, of course. Just an item for a list somewhere.

@bender@twtxt.net That we can do easily. Just supporting tendering .webp inline eight? 🧐

This ☝️

@xuu@txt.sour.is as long as I see you on IRC, bouncer or not, I don’t worry. Weird, isn’t it? Glad you are OK, Winter’s coming!

Not too important, but an item on a wish list: add support for WebP? I had to convert the animated WebP to GIF.

@tilde.club@tilde.club unwritten etiquette (by me, and for me, but one can hope, right?).

• Proper grammar (in any language).
  
• Correct capitalisation, and punctuation.
  
• Subject extension support.
  

Anything else doesn’t matter. ☺️

Thank you for the encouragement and love and kind words, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt and others along the way I’m not sure of their feed uris 💕 I’ll keep at it, but for the time being I will keep my distance, mostly off IRC, because I don’t have the energy to spare in that kind of engagement (what//if the worst happens, it’s so draining). I need to remember what I ever did any of this for, it was back in ~2020 and I wanted really to build small interconnected communities that any non “tech savvy” person (more or less) could also benefit from ane enjoy. Even if there are aspects of the specs we’ve built/extended over time that aren’t “perfect”™, they’re “good enough”™ that they’ve last 5+ years (I believe this is 6 years running now). I want to spend a bit of time going back to why I did any of this in the the first place, and get a little micro-SaaS offering going (barely covering running costs) so encourage more folks to run pods, and thus twtxt feeds and grow the community ever so slightly. Other than that, I plan to get the specs “in order” to a point (with @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s help) where I hope they’ll stand the test of time – like SMTP.

Thank you all ! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org an advent of code, I love it! Go, Lyse, go!

@lafe@tilde.club Hahaha! :-D That surely helps. What kind of plant are we talking about here?

Thank you for https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-11-09/0/POSTING-en.html, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I never configured systemd timers, but I would have gotten it wrong, too. Good to know when I eventually stumble across that in the future. I’m still using cron. Yeah, its field order sucks and I always have to look it up (because I don’t deal with that all that often). Indeed, systemd’s order sounds more reasonable.

I should work on my client again and add some new features. Like adding a new feed directly in the client and not having to go to the config first. And showing a preview of a feed before actually adding it. Also, a search would be something to add. And finally combining my User-Agent analyzer with my subscription list to spot new feeds automatically.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m all for it!

@prologic@twtxt.net Glad you’re back. ✌️

Welcome to the party, @threatcat@tilde.club! I reckon it’s totally fine what you’re doing. Over time, message counts naturally drop anyway. :-D And this is fine, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Same here, I give each service a dedicated e-mail address. It’s very interesting to see how e-mail addresses are transferred to other actors. Luckily, this only happens rarely. But it does happen. In surprising ways.

Aliases not only help to fight spam, but are also a great way to specify filter rules to sort e-mails.

Tada, and it’s back! \o/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s possible to run the validator locally (my blog generator scripts do that):

https://validator.w3.org/nu/about.html

That way you don’t forget. 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net FWIW, I love the idea and I do the same with my email domains. It’s the most effective way to fight spam, IMO. 🥳

Double congrats, @thecanine@twtxt.net! \o/

I’m not a fan of the gemtext limits. This being only a single page (which probably doesn’t get updated a whole lot), the efforts of having two dedicates files are not all that big, or so I’d at least naively imagine.

I always recommend checking the W3C validator results, even though I’m very guilty of not doing that myself. It just doesn’t occur to me in the heat of the moment. I reckon if I were writing HTML on a more regular basis, I would pick up on making that a real habit. Anyway, your HTML being generated, you probably can’t address the findings, though. So, might not be even worth the time heading over to the validator.

From a privacy point of view, personally, I would definitely host the CSS myself. Other than that, nice link collection. :-)

I just successfully used my own SnipMail service with a real business, whoohoo! 🥳
