@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Can we please stop this whole “Back to the Office” garbage nonsense?! 😱 If a job does not require the physical presence of a person(s) to perform their role, or they are not “customer facing” or in a job that’s required to “serve the public”, let’s just stop this utter nonsense. As much as I want my shares in Cromwell to go up, I really don’t care. Let the corporate office buildings burn to the ground for all I care, turn them into cheap housing estates or apartments. Why we ever thought centralizing in once place to live and work is beyond me 🤦‍♂️

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org No you’re not the only one. I do this too, I often think about a problem in my head, even imagine the code, sometimes for weeks, hell even months, before I even write a line of code 🧑‍💻

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thankfully it’s quite cool here so far 👌

Telegram Disables ‘Misused’ Features As CEO Faces Criminal Charges
Following the arrest of its CEO Pavel Durov last month, the encrypted messaging service said it has disabled some “outdated” and “misused” features used by anonymous users. The Verge reports: The first changes to the app following his arrest in France last month affect its built-in blog posts and a “People Nearby” location-based feature. […] … ⌘ Read more

One can tell the weekend is fast approaching, as things around these parts tend to slow down then. Cheers everyone! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, that’s what you get, suckers!

PwC ‘Tipping the Balance’ of Hybrid Working and Will Start Tracking Its Workers’ Locations
PwC has demanded staff spend less time working from home – and it’s going to start tracking their location to ensure they comply. From a report: The accountancy firm informed its 26,000 U.K. employees in a memo that from January they’ll be expected to be at their desks – or with clients – at leas … ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org funny that you mention it. Sendgrid, for better or worse, cancels your account after X amount of inactivity. It does it in such way you can’t reopen it, you must create a new one. So, I logged in on the account, but really couldn’t do anything. Such predicament would have awaited for the would be phishers as well. So, you see, they were pre-destined to failure without even knowing it. LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net Tomorrow is getting hot again and then we might be lucky in that the summer is over.

It would be even funnier if @bender@twtxt.net didn’t have a Sendgrid account in the first place. Good catch!

@prologic@twtxt.net it is the attention to detail. Evidently no one from Australia tried to login on my Sendgrid account, but the IP the used correlates to the GeoIP DB.

Interesting 🤔

Notice the detail on the IP address mentioned. It is one assigned to Australia: https://ipgeolocation.io/browse/ip/203.0.113.78

This happened yesterday:

Screenshot of an email, allegedly from Sendgrid

The first give away is the sender, sendgrid@autovitalsinc.com. Not Sengrid. Now, check the URL on the link provided to check the account activity:

https://u906946.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.eXk7eIEvNT22LuyWQ0fseoc5VY1jItvxPoavh2wfNVs292YMzvTAPj5D6nek1U6K7UfW_AsM5Hq3TBeAGlZrT-2F3g23iWCcJRPGZ-2B58DJxpgMgOTjgWklNQiAdGiHqmR6FFVhfWZJhnu1PSRslMuKGg1XNZs5e1lGu8kmdKhv7otlghl6qLMXiiXYZcvaUB5NruWwSBFcLdvi31NY-2Fru5oyrcrugm2iLYA0u5TiufyvA7SNTo3sDHx6WtS-2FmfEyN2svb9k1S4QGRFhuDseidMiFm0f9Q-3D-3D

I was curious, so I follow it on my dedicated VM for these kind of things. It took me to a page looking exactly like a Sendgrid login, with a sendgrid.net URL. Upon entering yourmotherisahamster@gmail.com, as username, and yourfathersmellsofelderberries as password, it sent me to https://screenprank.com/gandalf/.

It was well done. This morning the same link renders a blank page with a “Not found” link that takes you to a 404. Hmm…

@bender@twtxt.net That sucks 😢 Sorry to hear you didn’t sleep well 😴

@prologic@twtxt.net well, that’s a mighty reason not to do anything else! It has been already 8 hours, but I wish and hope you had a good night sleep. I woke up today, using 50% of my will power to do so.

rm -fr, remove french-style: merciless colonizer. thief and destroyer of worlds.

@bender@twtxt.net I was in bed 🤣

maybe i’m overly restrained when it comes to making changes in a codebase, but i do a lot of the work in my head before committing to code.

One last thing before I hit the hay. This endpoint could respond with the raw twt, when asking for text/plain (it serves HTML at the moment). Return the physical line from the feed. Maybe with a comment above for the feed URL. Or doesn’t the registry format also include the URL separated with a tab somehow? I’m too lazy right now to look it up. Also, not sure how useful that would be. Anyway, good night.

@quark@ferengi.one Right, a little rain improves™ the situation so much… :-( Surprise, surprise, our rain has been delayed again.

Good hunting and bon appétit! :-) I never had Puerto Rico’s national dish, but the photos look delicious. Yum!

I also tried ice cream, but I reckon I simply stick to your last tip instead. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net come on, provide us with a one liner curl foo that does just that, don’t be lazy! :-P

I reckon, this is as raw as you can get, @falsifian@www.falsifian.org: curl -sH "Accept: application/json" https://twtxt.net/twt/st3wsda | jq You can piece it together from created and text (and twter.uri).

@bender@twtxt.net Haha I aggressively unfollow feds that are like this now 🤣

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yes hit a Twt permalink URI and ask for application/ json

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Uggh 🥵 That sounds awful and reminds me of our very odd little 3-day heat wave we had last week 😱

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de thanks for getting to the bottom of it. @prologic@twtxt.net is there a way to view yarnd’s copy of the raw twt? The edit didn’t result in a visible change; being able to see what yarnd originally downloaded would have helped me debug.

I see 🤔 Thanks!

@quark@ferengi.one Oh shit, second place! :-O

$ du -h .config/twtxt/cache*.db 
13M   .config/twtxt/cache2.db  # contains read status for each twt (very inefficient format)
7,0M  .config/twtxt/cache.db   # the actual cache by the original twtxt reference implementation

Yeah, wrong place for caches.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t. I will pay close attention on any oddity I see next time. Sorry!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This ☝️

@bender@twtxt.net Do you recall what you were clicking through? 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net I follow feeds that are somewhat interesting to me. At least for the most part.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 31°C here, feels like 33°C, with a lovely 75% of humidity. It has been raining, on and off (to make matter “better”) the whole day until now. No horses here, but if you go outside you will smell the same smell of farm animals (like goats, or pigs). That’s because two or three kilometres from here there are private farms, and when the wind blows in such way, well, we are reminded of their existence.

I haven’t left the house, so it feels well under air conditioning. In two more hours I will call it quits from the work day, and will have to dash to the grocery to get supplies for tonight’s meal (arroz con gandules). I will let you know how it truly feels out there then. :-D

For those swollen fingers, nothing better than a mildly cold shower! Oh, and paws off the keyboard! :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for the honor, but I’m not sure why I specifically should be part of a deciding committee here. :-D I get it, I just fear people might misunderstand your message here.

I have to read up on the twtxt registry documentation on the weekend (too tired at the moment), but it should probably be no real issue to integrate that API into yarnd.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci well, those are top ten “twtxtrs” (as in, how many twtxts they have produced). @prologic@twtxt.net sure is a conversational fellow. :-D

When we passed a few horses in the forest, there was really strong soup odor in the air. It didn’t smell like horse at all, but soup. Maybe they’ve been soup horses, chickens were out of stock.

29°C, zero wind, extremely humid, luckily the sun was behind the clouds. I’m soaking wet, sweat ran down in streams and dripped in my eyes, it burned a bit. The sky is getting a little dark, I hope the thunderstorm and rain are really arriving here later. Rain had always been finally cancelled the couple last days.

I’m gotta go cool off my fingers now, they’re swollen from the heat.

@quark@ferengi.one wow everybody loves @prologic@twtxt.net

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net a few. :-) And thanks!

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net which one? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I like your website. Petty cool!

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net ya, entiendo. Asi nos pasa a todos, creo. Vamos, que nos gusta, nos gusta! 🙂

Err, Garner, rather.

Somebody likes Jennifer Gardner… 😊

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ha! Here are my top 10:

24056 "prologic"
5103 "lyse"
3932 "movq"
1984 "abucci"
1876 "adi"
1633 "fastidious"
1551 "jlj"
1455 "mckinley"
1413 "offgridliving
1280 "eaplmx"

Some of those I no longer follow, or do not exist, but their wisdom remains. LOL.

@bender@twtxt.net The size … it depends. 🥴

$ du -sh ~/Mail/twt
244M   /home/user/Mail/twt

But:

$ du -sh --apparent-size ~/Mail/twt
33M    /home/user/Mail/twt

There are about 60k twts in there.

Regarding one-way junk: True. Looks like I mostly unfollowed those, I don’t really have that in my inbox. 🤔

These are the Top 10, btw:

$ awk '/^From: / { user[$2]++ } END { for (u in user) { print user[u], u } }' * | sort -k1rn | head -n 10
24020 "prologic"
5269 "lyse"
3928 "movq"
2285 "adi"
1985 "abucci"
1713 "mckinley"
1415 "off_grid_living"
1352 "darch"
1280 "eaplmx"
956 "bender"

@movq@www.uninformativ.de good idea, considering it might occasionally not work at all (because of edited twtxts).

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com very nice, thank you for sharing! I like that kind of retailers too, so those are on my list now. 🙂
