@movq@www.uninformativ.de

Was there ever a reason to do that? 🤔

I’m not sure to be honest. I have no idea why you’d ever want to do a “nameless” @-mention@twtxt.net.

As an aside, if we could all agree, I’d personally just say we scrap this whole fragile broken shit and bring out WebMentions and be done with it. And then mentions are always @nick@domain and looked up, cached and can never be screwed up haha 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

What’s the motivation for deprecation?

Namely that without the mention having a label (as such) it becomes very hard to render it in any sane/nice way. I think we should just stick to @<label url> personally. It makes implementations have to worry about far less edge cases.

Hmm, I just noticed that the feed template seems to be broken on your yarnd instance, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz. Looking at your raw feed file (and your mates as well), line 6 reads:

# This is hosted by a Yarn.social pod yarn running yarnd ERSION@OMMIT  go1.23.4
                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Looks like the first letters of the version and commit got somehow chopped off. I’ve no idea what happened here, maybe @prologic@twtxt.net knows something. :-? I’m not familiar with the templating, I just recall @xuu@txt.sour.is reporting in IRC the other day that he’s also having great fun with his custom preamble from time to time.

That “broken” comment doesn’t hurt anything, it’s still a proper comment and hence ignored by clients. It’s just odd, that’s all.

In-reply-to » 🤔 Prosoal: Disallowed the @<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.

tt currently supports all three forms: @<nick url>, @<url> and even the illegal @<nick>. The difference between the last two is whether the token in angle brackets looks like a URL or not. Whenever a nick is available, the nick is rendered. In case there is just a URL, it tries to resolve the nick from the subscriptions. If that also does not work, it displays the URL.

In-reply-to » 🤔 Prosoal: Disallowed the @<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Well, the original Twtxt Specification explicitly allows for the short form with just a URL and no nick: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html#format-specification

Mentions are embedded within the text in either @<source.nick source.url> or @<source.url> format […]

I’d just continue supporting it, even though I don’t see it all that often in the wild. I guess more common is the case where just a nick is given, which is illegal. But yarnd users seem to produce it every now and then.

Show HN: Tetris in a PDF
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.

It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation “fields” works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box.

All in all it’s quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The lin … ⌘ Read more

Yeah, @bender@twtxt.net, I absolutely love it! :-D Monty Python just rocks!

This very knight inspired me to make myself a knight helmet with opening visor out of an old washing machine sheet metal years ago for a theater play. It was really great fun, both making the helmet as well as using it during the week in the play as a silly and shady prince who got all his tracts of land by winning dubious games.

I just couldn’t really hear very well in it. And if somebody hit me on the head or just slightly knocked on the helmet, it was incredibly loud. No fine craftmanship by any means and obviously historically extremely questionable at best, but it did the job well enough. One of the running gags was that I had to open the visor when I wanted to talk. Here are some photos in action, you’ll find many more when surfing through the gallery:

My shoulder muscles are sore from yesterday’s overhead concrete drilling. I even totalled a good drill bit. The workshop air cleaner is now installed on the ceiling. I even can plug in the shop vac directly above its usual location without having to walk over (or usually on) the cord on the ground. The shop vac hose crane had to be shortened 9cm in length in order to fit underneath the air cleaner.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Over-ear headphones make moving and turning around quite uncomfortable. But it looks like you’re having a very calm sleep, unlike me, who likes to turn a bit on the side every now and then, too.

When I use noise cancelling devices in bed (absolutely required at scouting events), it’s simple ear plugs. I got myself a big pack of 200 pairs nine and a half years ago (oh wow, didn’t realize I have them this long). A lifetime supply. Especially when I reuse them two, three dozen times or so before they’re worn out and don’t seal properly anymore.
