@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Huh, this is the first time I heard of IBM WebExplorer.

I’m out of shape. I decided to walk up the local mountain to watch the sunset, but I arrived five minutes late, even though I sped up at the end. Should have started my journey ten or fifteen minutes earlier. I saw the setting sun at foot, but the photos were total disasters.

On the way there I picked two handful of blackberries in the forest. Delicious!

Today was the second time in my life that I saw a grass snake in the wild. They can easily be recognized by the yellow “ears”. Unfortunately, this one was run over. :-( But I jumped at the opportunity to photograph it as it didn’t escape in a fraction of a second like my first encounter three years ago. Still, poor fellow. :-(

Run over grass snake

On the way home, a deer jumped out of the brush in front of me and headed down the forest road before it went back in the other side. As always, that’s nice.

I also had to slow down a bunch of times because of frogs or toads on the paths. Not sure which ones, it was already after dark. I guesstimate it must have been 60-70 amphibians in total, maybe more. Some of them did not move to the wayside but rather into the middle of the track, right in front of me. Crazy suicide frogs! There were four reeeeaaaallly close calls. I could just avoid stepping on them after they tried to hop right under my boot. Not a centimeter to spare. No toads were harmed during my trip. Phew!

Once I had to stop completely because of the large activity ahead of me. A larger (about the size of half a palm) individual surrounded my foot and then jumped against my heel. Twice! What the heck!? :-D But suuuper cool experience. I’m very glad I actually went out. Totally worth it. I met so many amazing animals. Don’t care about the missed sunset a single bit.

Lest we forget Mosaic: https://movq.de/v/f85fd317b3/mosaic.jpg

In the process of tweaking my little static HTML index/thumbnail creator so that it a) properly supports dark/ligh mode and, more importantly, b) gracefully degrades on ancient browsers.

Why? Because I often exchange data via HTTP with old systems and my tooling automatically invokes that indexer/thumbnailer script. 🥴 It’s really annoying when I just see garbage in Netscape 2 or IE5.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! Looking forward to trying it out. Sorry for the silence; I have become unexpectedly busy so no time for twtxt these past few days.

Alors j’ai vérifié : toujours pas de ministre de l’éducation nationale à ce jour. La rentrée se fera donc sans. Cela illustre malheureusement tout l’intérêt que porte E Macron à l’instruction de nos enfants.

@bender@twtxt.net That’s also likely 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net errors are made everyday. Also, many developers try to get around the rules, and they get caught. Nothing to see here, moving on. 🤭

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net IMO the problem isn’t “Apple”™ the company, per se, it’s the complexity and size of the organization. It’s large, it’s complex, you will have large sets of “people” that follow the “rules” as written without any leeway whatsoever or ability to apply “intent”.

Apple Stands By Decision To Terminate Account Belonging To WWDC Student Winner
TechCrunch’s Sarah Perez reports: Apple is standing by its decision to terminate the Apple Developer Account of Appstun, a mobile app company created by one of Apple’s own Worldwide Developer Conference 2021 student winners.

@quark@ferengi.one probably not with the OpenSSH tools themselves but perhaps with the OpenSSL tools using the same key.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net This is so true! Grandpa used to say this all the time too. Especially about tomatoes 🤣

It’s better to eat plants you know have 60 minerals in them than to eat veggies from the store you have no idea what is in them. I can’t wait to see if our chooks like the wheat we are growing. they don’t like the wheat from the produce store, comes with NPK Ca and Mg, that’s about it I reckon. Farmers do not add 60 minerals to their paddocks any more, too expensive to do so.

The potato shed is fully insect proof and the tender leaves are untouched and uneaten by beetles.
Great idea, will we get potatoes and can I grow them all year round… Have to wait and see…. More larger shade houses to build to keep the beetles out.

Further thinking on it, this might not be possible at all.

@bender@twtxt.net Nope, still don’t have a mobile one. Works extremely well for me. :-)

Does anyone knows how to clear sign a file with an SSH key? Clear sign, not a detached signature.

Temperatures begin to drop a bit for the night, phew. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-08-30/01.jpg

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL, well, great things come out of that worry, I can tell that much. Keep being you! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not even your phone? I can’t go anywhere without mine, but wouldn’t be surprised if not everybody did the same.

@quark@ferengi.one

I think you are worrying about a non-issue.

That’s what I do best. 😏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Haha, great! :-)

Just returned from an evening walk. We met a young slow worm, a bunch of small frogs, about the width of a pointing finger and a bucket load of sweat. It’s bloody hot and humid. Also, heaps of ripped trash bags in the forest and lake. :-( No photos, it was too exhausting to even carry my pocket camera.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think you are worrying about a non-issue. I see nothing to do on your example twt, because there is no context. Furthermore, if I wanted to follow the feed, everything I need is already on that twt example. :-)

@mckinley@twtxt.net agevault uses age, allegedly very secure (aiming to replace pgp/gpg). Comparing it with gocryptfs, from the user perspective, agevault seems simpler, though CLI exclusive. As the repository states, “Like age, it features no config options, allowing for a straightforward secure flow”. It would also run in all major OS platforms out of the box.

But agevault is also very new. Though age has been around for a while now, I don’t see an “audited” link (neither on agevault, nor age).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @quark@ferengi.one Yep, I like it as well. 😅

There’s another situation that I’m not quite happy with.

Suppose there’s a twt like this:

2024-08-28T19:57:58Z    <a href="https://txt.sour.is/external?uri=https://foo.example.com/tw.txt&nick=person_a">@person_a<em>@foo.example.com</em></a> <a href="https://txt.sour.is/external?uri=gemini://a.b.c/tw.txt&nick=person_b">@person_b<em>@a.b.c</em></a> Hey! 👋

There’s no hash, so --fetch-context won’t do anything at the moment.

Option A: jenny asks interactively to fetch those feeds once.

No thread hash found
Do you want to fetch the entire feed https://foo.example.com/tw.txt? [Y/n] y
Do you want to fetch the entire feed gemini://a.b.c/tw.txt? [Y/n] n

(Bonus points for skipping feeds that you already follow.)

Option B: There could be an external/third-party tool that scans a twt for all mentions and asks the user if they want to follow them (permanently). Why an external tool? The thing is, the follow file has been completely user-managed so far and I kind of want to keep it that way. And if this is an external tool, then users can do all kinds of fancy stuff, like using fzf or whatever. Or it could allow the user to preview the feed before following it. I don’t want to have stuff like that in the core program, it depends too much on users’ preferences.

To “implement” option B, I’d only add some hints to the docs, maybe an example.

I think I’m leaning towards option B at the moment. 🤔

@quark@ferengi.one Looks neat. How does this compare to gocryptfs? Same basic concept with a different backing file format?

This tool, using age is pretty neat: https://github.com/ndavd/agevault. So simple, yet seemingly powerful!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci their main question is worrisome:

“The main question is, does it disappear during this re-entry?” says Löhle. “Is everything evaporating, or are there pieces that eventually impact on the ground?”

He expects some parts, such as the satellite’s fuel tanks, to survive. “You could learn from the re-entry that if you build a fuel tank differently, it can break up,” he says.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com so lovely, ain’t it? A simple keystroke, and your “mystery” is solved. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah we’re about 3,054.26km from the equator but clearly that’s not far enough 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net The equator is your enemy. Stay away from it, as far as you can! 😱

(I just looked it up, your “winter” is barely cooler than our “summer”, according to those fancy climate diagrams and my rough understanding of them. 😅)

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah just in spring right now and it’s already disgustingly hot 🥵

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I love it! I love German! 😊

@prologic@twtxt.net consider yourself lucky it is “winter” now, right? LOL. On a more serious note, it is upsetting that the smartest animals on the planet are at fault, and there is very little being done about it.

Uggh it’s 33C right now and 60% humidity 🥵

@quark@ferengi.one Bahahahaha 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh my goodness…! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lol, someone just showed me this brilliant German (Saxon, actually) song. The title Hitzetodcheck translates to “heat death check”. Sorry to all non-German speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qHH3RO_X34

I’m also ready absolutely ready for winter.

Vu le Comte de Monte Cristo hier soir, avec le brillant Pierre Ninet. Je n’ai pas vu les 3h passer, ce film est une oeuvre d’art. Il y a un peu de tous les genres, les acteurs sont excellents et je parie que certains jeunes seront revus bientôt. Bravo! N’hésitez pas à aller le voir si ce n’est pas déjà fait

I’m SO enjoying the new jenny --fetch-context 😁

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hehehehe. Enjoy, but careful with sugary stuff! :-)

Oh boy! I think I stumbled upon a Terminal Candy Shop! 🤤 “Terminal Trove”

@prologic@twtxt.net what made you make such “financially sound” recommendation? Have you switched jobs, and are now a Financial Advisor? :-P

@quark@ferengi.one Oh dear, 87% humidity probably don’t feel great, either. 🥴 That’s what I have in the bathroom after leaving the shower. 😂

I am ready for our winter too, you know, that whole week

lol 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wow! We are “lucky” today, only 27°C here, 87% humidity, overcast, and raining sporadically. Thanks to the rain our temperatures aren’t high, but muggy nevertheless. I am ready for our winter too, you know, that whole week. LOL.

35°C and rising … can haz winter?
