@xuu did we ever spec this up?

These collisions aren’t important unless someone tries to fork. So.. for the vast majority its not a big deal. Using the grow hash algorithm could inform the client to add another char when they fork.

With so many messenger apps, why would anyone use Telegram? 🤯

@prologic@twtxt.net it is funny. What do you think of it? True, or false?

@quark@ferengi.one hmm?

Hmm:

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I gave it a try, unfortunately it’s a scanned document (just a bundle of Images), the only real text in there, is the first two pages.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, fancy!

X-Y table

@david@collantes.us I plan on building an X-Y table. But with these leadscrew prices, I might as well just buy a whole import table altogther.

I’m not really sure that is any better hmmm, please help 🙏

Let’s try that… Pushed a new commit… Give it ~5m to update…

@bender@twtxt.net I have no idea what I want to be perfectly honest. This is CSS done from scratch 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net how about following the same scheme as Yarn? I mean, I can match colours for visited/non-visited links that work nice, and provide, if that what you would like. What base colour would you like?

@bender@twtxt.net I’m open to suggestions. What would you prefer the color scheme to be? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net the links are still problematically coloured, at least on dark mode. See screenshot below.

Screenshot of a site showing the visited and non-visited link colours

Still playing with the style/template and what to include, just keeping it simple for now.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d love it if you write up a page for jenny 🙏 at https://twtxt.dev 🤞

Idk about other pubnixes but i can freely edit caddy config (or change webserver and use other config format)

@prologic@twtxt.net I got tricked tow times in row 🥲

🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@fastidious@tilde.town Wait! I do know you! 😅

@fastidious@tilde.town Yeah, I gave it a try, now I’ll just wait. BTW, Your Nick rings a bell! I probably do remember it from reading old twts 👋 Happy getting to you here!

@bender@twtxt.net Yup!

Btw anyone can put up PR(s) 🙃

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Agreed

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I think this is a rype will fix!

@prologic@twtxt.net I think printf is a more portable option than echo -e for interpreting \t as tab. E.g. printf ‘%s\t%s\t%s’ “$url” “$time” “$text”. In general I always prefer printf over echo for anything non-trivial in unix shell scripts. See last paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(command)#History

NGL tilde town’s registration process was quite fun! reminded me of the good old text based adventure game.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com easy as cake to get and
account here. Very reliable too!

@bender@twtxt.net Yes! tilde.town is next on my list if I don’t get a response in… too long.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I figure it will be the same as those on a tilde server, right? Try https://tilde.town/ !

Been curious about how people on Pubnix instances do manage their feed, if they have access to log? Sent in a req to join one still no res.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. You got me! :-D

@bender@twtxt.net I can always edit my twt and correct my Oopsie xD Would that make him happier?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are correct, but I ended up switching to /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp as suggested by @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt in (#66py4ja). there must have been a reason why that file was placed in /tmp/ in the first place, I just don’t know my way around python that much to figure it out 😅.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com yeah, but he is shacking his finger at you for your use of markdown, and emoji. :-)

You proud daddy!? My twt is exactly 140 characters! 😂😂😂

Apparently Drama is tech entities’ new Going Viral PR stunt. After the Wordpress vs. WPE mayhem, Godot starts it’s own, Who/what’s next?

PHP uses \t as well for TABs.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk oh, I thought we were settled on TABs for a while now, weren’t we? 🤔 The new website mentions TABs too. The command echo -e (on any shell?) will use \t for them.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what are you building now? The things you are mentioning I couldn’t even start wrapping my head around them! 😅 They sure sound expensive, tough.

Thanks @david@collantes.us, good to know, but we need to agree on what character we use, otherwise the hashes will not be the same:)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk a TAB is simply \t. Just add it to that echo line, and that’s it.

Oh boy, I’m looking for trapezoidal (like ACME thread) screws and nuts in left hand form. The rods are already expensive, but nuts feel like a total ripoff. A hex nut for Tr20x2 being 30mm long and 30mm in “diameter” costs me 22 bucks! O_o Just a single one, made of regular steel. A meter of rod is 21€. The more common Tr20x4 hex nut is just 7€ and the rod 17€, but 4mm pitch is a bit much for a leadscrew for semi-precision work I reckon.

Well, maybe I just use metric threads. I will sleep on this.

@prologic@twtxt.net from IRC:

“Hashes will increase then, and will use SHA256 instead? That is the end result of weeks long discussions, correct?”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Maybe you’re right: Let’s pause this while edit/delete discussions.

@mckinley@twtxt.net they are fighting to make more money. Seeing it any other way is rather naïve.

Context for those who don’t know: Epic Games is the company behind the hugely popular video game Fortnite. As far as I know, the core game is still free-to-play and supported by microtransactions. It’s available on Windows, consoles, and mobile platforms. They sued Apple a few years ago because they felt the 30% cut Apple takes for in-app purchases was unreasonable and that they should be allowed to distribute their software independently of the App Store. It didn’t turn out so well for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple

@prologic@twtxt.net That can only work if I happen to have the original one as well. But what are the odds for that? Quite low I’d say. It’s rare that I see a once working thread to be cactus later on. Usually, when I arrive, police already broke up the party. Yarnd might be more lucky in that it constantly pulls, but I don’t.

Anyway, I won’t implement that in my client. Sounds too much effort for the tiny gain.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net They must have spent such an ungodly amount in legal fees by now that I wonder if they’ll come out of this in the green if they get to keep all the money from in-app purchases. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re doing it, but I think there’s a reason why Epic Games is the only one fighting for app store neutrality.
