It would also be great if you put up a PR against twtxt.dev 🙏
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev My only comment so far is to use Ed25519 keys for crypto.
I want to share a little idea for a new extension with the goal of adding direct messages in #twtxt https://github.com/tanrax/twtxt-direct-message-extension

@bender@twtxt.net planning on being around in 10 years 🤔 😅
How long will it take for the opponents of the Trump regime to start mysteriously disappearing?
@twtxt.net@twtxt.net when is the christening? Let me know, and I will plan a trip to down under. ☺️
This is an absolutely amazing talk about fixing a satellite in space. Totally worth watching, highly recommended. Super great engineering! I’m blown away, this is sooooo cool! https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-hacking-yourself-a-satellite-recovering-beesat-1
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, nice! I gotta have to check tomorrow. I keep forgetting.

Jupiter and its moons a few days ago:
Not spectacular shots, but hey, it’s something.
Also saw the crescent Venus and Saturn’s rings through my scope (you know, the one for bird watching).

@xuu The OA this time. I don’t know if it’s any good. I saw an actor that I thought I recognized, looked it up, saw that the show got cancelled, and then stopped watching. I hate unfinished stories.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Only scp/rsync for me. :-) But I remember there is one server that only provides SFTP access. :-/
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Do you want to stand it up on your own or use it as a service? 🤔🤔
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz sounds intriguing 🤔
Hola desde Hispa Emacs!! @cats@duque-terron.cat
@suitechic@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it’s a great post!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow what a great story! i still use FTP (well, SFTP) all the time lol, just to transfer files between servers quickly. it’s super handy!
writing your own CMS sounds kickass omg… mysql the legend
@prologic@twtxt.net yellowjackets is about a girls soccer team that gets into a plane crash in the wilderness and start hunting and killing and eating each other. also there’s lesbians. it rules. season 3 comes out valentines day
@prologic@twtxt.net this is epic i need to try this
fucking shotcut keeps crashing on start what did i DOOOOO
EdgeGuard Update:
I am now in a position where I’m no longer having any ports open on my firewall at the Mills DC. 🥳 All services (Gopher, SMTP, IRC, SSH, HTTP) are being proxied through my edge network 💪
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Pretty much. 😂 It’s all the stuff tagged as “DesktopEnv” here: https://www.uninformativ.de/git/ The WM was written from scratch as a learning project, although it feels very similar to dwm, yes.
(Those 440 bytes include the BIOS Parameter Block, which can’t be used for code. The available space for the code is just 378 bytes. There’s really not a lot going on here other than loading the kernel into memory, or some second stage of a bootloader, and then executing that.)
Maybe with the very simplest of the easy ones it might be still reasonably straight forward
I did that and the compiled bootloader is now 439 bytes in size – the available space is 440 bytes. So, phew, it just fits now. 😂
@xuu Speaking of TV Shows, can anyone recommend anything good of late? Hmm 🤔
which show?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oof, I know that feeling. 😂 (It was much worse when I still had my 1280x1024 screen. 🥴)
Corporate IT environments are just a nightmare. Bah. No. We don’t talk about that now. It’s the weekend! 🥳🥳🥳
Friendly, regular reminder to always check if a TV show has already been cancelled before you start watching it.
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Nope, unfortunately not. I took a look at Lisp last year (I think I used sbcl), but I haven’t done anything really useful with it. I still want to give it a proper go some time in the future. I do like how flexible it can be. Rather simple, but powerful basic concepts.
What’s your favorite dialect?
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I approve! That’s how I learned HTML (version 4 at the time and XHTML shortly after) and making websites, too. Some of them are still made like this to this day. Hand-written HTML. Hardly any <div> and class nonsense. I can’t remember with which editor I started out with, but I upgraded to Webweaver (later renamed to Webcraft) quickly. Yeah, this were the times when there was just a single computer for the whole family.
Free hosting on Arcor, Freenet and I don’t know anymore how they were all called. Like this author, I uploaded everything via FTP. Oh dear, when was the last time I used that? And I had registered plenty of free .de.vu domains.
Being on Windows at the time, everything was ISO-8859-1 for me. No UTF-8, I don’t think I’ve heard about it back then.
Later, I wrote my own CMSes in PHP. Man, were they bad in retrospect. :-D Of course, MySQL databases were used as backends. I still exactly know the moment I read the first time about SQL injections. I tried it on my own CMS login and was shocked when I could just break in. The very next thing I did was to lock down everything with an .htaccess until I actually fixed my broken PHP code. Hahaha, good memories.
I swear by Atom or RSS feeds. Many of my sites offer them. I daily consume feeds, they’re just great.
Does anyone here write in a Lisp dialect? #clojure #commonlisp #lisp
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I extensively use Cloud tabs under macOS/iOS, and history across both OSs as well. I am finding the it has limited my needing to use search engines greatly.
Granted, I usually keep between 50-60 open tabs, and Safari (both mobile and desktop) does a great job with them (power wise). Now, 500! Ooof! 😅
damn it i got so excited because bleeding cool ran an article with a title like ‘all of DC april solicits so far’ and i did not read the ‘so far’ part and clicked it excitedly hoping to see all the april solicits but they’re out next week or something T__T
this is epic https://lmnt.me/blog/how-to-make-a-damn-website.html
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz True! :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, exactly that. It’s awful! And it’s getting worse from my perspective. Nobody in charge is ever gonna learn anything. I figure we just fully deserve this M$ crap, every single bit. :-(
Luckily, the most important development platform still worked for me, so I could actually do something, review code, pull and push, etc. But the calls with the screenshares were nightmares. Can’t see shit on such a tiny display with today’s extreme monitor sizes people use. Looking at logs, hahahahahahaaa…
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Neat, that sounds like a clever design with a table implementation. :-)
Oh, for sure! Complexity will definitely go through the roof and beyond with optimizations, no doubt. Maybe with the very simplest of the easy ones it might be still reasonably straight forward, but I also imagine that this has the potential to escalate very quickly. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahah i hope you can get one someday if you want one! it’s standard lubuntu, so far no issues despite no official support for this weird little ubuntu flavor lol
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org OMGGGG I’M BRINGING AKB TO YARN LET’S GOOOOO!!!! SO glad you like them they make bangers!!!!! super catchy and fun <333
@movq@www.uninformativ.de we had a TON of fun omg my friends took a bit to learn the game then when they got it we got VICIOUS with each other it was so much fun lol
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org i’m a horrible gamer but i do best when playing kart racing games like this and mario kart haha!
@prologic@twtxt.net this is a great idea!
@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz OMGGGGGG HELLOPRO PILLING OF IRENE!!!!!!!!!!! resonant blue is so good omg…. this makes me so happy :‘)
(Uff, wow, ich glaube, das letzte Mal im Kino war ich 2003 zu „Matrix Reloaded“.)
@anth@a.9srv.net I stopped using a persistent browser profile ~10 years ago and this was a great decision. When I shut down my PC at the end of the day, the browser profile with all the tabs and history is gone. I don’t miss it at all. By now, I’m disciplined enough to take a note of important links right away.
This probably doesn’t work for everybody, but I love it.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I take it this is a typical corporate network with a ton of firewalling rules? And, oh god, so much Microsoft. 🤢
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Heh, thanks, yeah, reading the Intel docs takes time. I’ve been doing that on and off since September (for this blog post), so I’m almost used to it now. But doing that for the very first time is quite gnarly. They’re not super well written.
I really think (this time) that I won’t add many more features. 😅 At the moment, the program is very “generic” and basically only does some pattern matching: If it sees a mov instruction followed by some 8 bit register and then some 8 bit number, then it encodes it as a 0xB0 byte using a certain mechanism (e.g., the register number might get added to 0xB0 and then the 8 bit number might just follow verbatim). That’s what the long list in the screenshot shows. “A cmp followed by two arguments of a certain type gets encoded as …” They’re all handled exactly the same.
Adding support for more instructions mostly just means adding more entries to that table.
If I were to add “optimizations”, I guess complexity would skyrocket. 😅
Google Begins Requiring JavaScript For Google Search
Google says it has begun requiring users to turn on JavaScript, the widely-used programming language to make web pages interactive, in order to use Google Search. From a report: In an email to TechCrunch, a company spokesperson claimed that the change is intended to “better protect” Google Search against malicious activity, such as bots and spam, and to improve the over … ⌘ Read more
Another infrastructure apocalypse day at work. Linux and Windows users were unable to reach M$ services. No Outlook, no Teams, no intranet (Sharepoint), no Azure, etc. Mac users were lucky, though. Took whoever the whole day to resolve that. Shortly before I called it quits, it worked again. I haven’t read any e-mail today, used Teams mostly on the company phone, but it’s the plague.
And as I’ve forseen the other day, we have to deliver yet another workaround hotfix, once the other team eventually gets their stuff integrated that we should rely on. Good riddance it’s the weekend now!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, this is really awesome! :-) Hats off to you, that would take me forever to accomplish.
Haha, eleven bytes, how mean is that!? :-D But I already see you working on that as well at some point in the near future. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net Totally fine with me, I don’t use it. I just have to when hacking on yarnd, because it phones this service.
Listening to a playlist kat made for me 7 months ago. It’s fun!!
#genuary #genuary2025 #genuary17 Maybe related to today prompt: What happens if pi=4? https://youtu.be/tGfUaZ8hTzg
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Hmmm yhe flow doesn’t look right to me hmm 🤔
Yes, it’s a mini python cgi script which implements IndieAuth
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Is that implementing IndieAuth? 🤔
Only IA from yarn are valid? Can i use https://doesnm.p.psf.lt/auth.py ?
@bender@twtxt.net Aye aye 🙌
@<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.
Sounds about as complex as adding @nick@domain support by doing a webfinger lookup to get the URL.
Dew it! :-)
Cleaning up some of the 500 open tabs on my phone. I realized that if I don’t have some place to stash the good ones, I won’t go through any. http://a.9srv.net/b/2025-01-16
Would anyone object to the feeds.twtxt.net service having auth soon™ ? 🤔 I’m tired of the garbage feeds that it has accumulated over tie (spammers) and I want to a) clean it up b) lock it down somewhat.
The idea would be that you’d login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 – For those unfamiliar, this is called IndieAuth or IndieLogin. ALL Yarn.social pods are in fact valid (have been for years now) IndieAuth Providers. So I can just ust that. This also technically means you could login with your own domain too (more on that later…)
@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net TL;DR:
The author recounts their experience with a “no calls” policy in enterprise sales, finding it surprisingly effective. They attribute this success to addressing common reasons for calls—lack of understanding, onboarding issues, pricing uncertainty, and trust concerns—through clear messaging, self-serve onboarding, transparent pricing, and robust security documentation. While acknowledging potential limitations, the author advocates for a #nocalls approach, emphasizing the benefits of efficiency and alignment with their values.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Who does right 🤣 I wonder if anyone read the ToC(s) of any Yarn pod? 🤔
@news-minimalist@feeds.twtxt.net Ahh now I like to read news like this in my feed. THis is perfect! 🤩 Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and so far this is such a nice quite way to be “informed” without the noise and sensational crappy clickbait shit™
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Have fun. 🐧🚗 I played that a lot out of boredom during the peak of the pandemic. 😅
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Well, consider me jealous. 😅
So, is that a standard lubuntu or a special version for that laptop? Any driver issues so far?
The most valuable resource is Table B-13 at the end of Volume 2D of the Intel docs. It’s a very long but easy to understand table of instruction encodings – assuming you already know how that ModR/M stuff works.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz AKB48 and other spinoffs sound so great. I’m listening and whistling to them for hours now. I have no clue what the lyrics are about, but it’s just fantastic music. Thanks for introducing me to them. <3
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, what else does one need? 😅
I added more instructions, made it portable (so it runs on my own OS as well as Linux/DOS/whatever), and the assembler is now good enough to be used in the build process to compile the bootloader:
That is pretty cool. 😎
It’s still a “naive” assembler. There are zero optimizations and it can’t do macros (so I had to resort to using cpp). Since nothing is optimized, it uses longer opcodes than NASM and that makes the bootloader 11 bytes too large. 🥴 I avoided that for now by removing some cosmetic output from the bootloader.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Wrrrrrmmmmm, wrrrrmmm, have fun! I think I played that about 15 years ago last time or so. I never was much of a gamer, always loved to code useless stuff instead. :-D
might have a little supertuxkart lan party with friends today!
@bender@twtxt.net all by myself too T__T not that i wasn’t offered help i wanted the challenge but my back paid the price lol
