@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Awww 😅

It’s really hard to put into words. Mastodon just feels more stressful. Ugh. I don’t know. 😅

Also interesting:

edit_hash: When a message is edited, a new message is created– this field holds the hash of the modified message. The client follows the chain of edit hashes to end up at the final, edited message to display. This lets us keep an “undo” history (not yet implemented) and is a marker so the client can display a marker that the message has been edited.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! Also very interesting rid bits here 🤣

The author, parent hash, timestamp, and message values go into the hash. (see Message Hash for details)

Worth noting that this is a local “forum”. BBJ uses an SQLite database.

In-reply-to » Anyone around is thinking, or planning, to play “Path of the Exile II”?

@prologic@twtxt.net it is an hack and slash ARPG game from Grinding Gears Games. It runs on Windows (and will run on macOS too, eventually), and game consoles (Xbox, and PlayStation).

It comes out on “early access” in 6 December 2024.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.

But don’t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)

Why is my @ mention is all over the place?

Just the way yarnd (my client) behaves, which I’m also refactoring and improving the way mentions are expanded and auto-completed.

In-reply-to » @mckinley Regarding https://mckinley.cc/notes/20241120-css3-announcement.xhtml, I'm wondering why you support viewing your website on a printer? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha, the dark background would have been printed before I added the media query. It’s unlikely that anyone will want to print one of my posts, but I figure it’s worth the extra line to conserve ink if someone does.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if it’s just notifications that are bothering you could just go to your /settings/preferences/notifications and uncheck as much boxes as you need … unless you’ve already done that, then… sorry, not sorry we love your posts my friend!! xD And just so you know, you put a smile on my face whenever I stumble upon any of your retro-computing posts! 😁

In-reply-to » @bender Well, so far, I’m using the standard web client. Haven’t found a great client yet. 🫤 Mastodon/Fediverse is also very different from twtxt, there are way more images/videos that I’d like to see – a TUI client like toot wouldn’t work for me.

(The Mastodon instance I’m currently on isn’t run by me and the “export data” feature appears to be broken, for example. A good reminder to consider anything I post there as temporary and volatile.)

Dunno, maybe I’ll make some changes in this area after christmas. Try self-hosting again or something like that …
