It’s a shame that so many public Wi-Fi networks block traffic on ports 70 and 1965, completely cutting off both Gopher and Gemini. Restricting Internet access to only the “most common” use cases like YouTube and Wikipedia is a great way to ensure they eventually become the “only” use cases.

In-reply-to » 42km for 42 years: 26.26 miles, 00:11:50 average pace, 05:10:44 duration crazy run... don't have a lot of time so i'll have to remember to complete the thread that i captured in my journal. #running

@bmallred@staystrong.run overall this was pretty good and the run-walk intervals kept my heart rate low.

at around 0400 a car came racing (90-100 mph) down gulf blvd towards my direction. it turned its headlights off and actually lost traction at point and skidded a bit. okay, kids. then a bit later i hear the car coming back behind me… so i got as far to the right as i could in case the car skids again. as it passed me i looked over my shoulder and saw a police vehicle a bit back w/o lights on yet. then looking in front another cop and then they blocked the lanes to get the driver to stop. driver decided he wasn’t stopping and tried to swerve around the police and ended up ping-ponging between sides of the road. enough of that…

took a wrong turn after going over the first bridge, but luckily it went in a loop. didn’t really know exactly where i was going anyways and was just winging it from the get-go.

the rest of the run was pretty uneventful and just a fun experience. crazy idea accomplished.

I recently learned that our Australian Liberal National Party, spent 10’s of thousands of dollars on a campaign involving flyers posted around the suburbs (localities) of our local Greens federal member, Elizabeth Watson Brown. Not only was the material produced by the LNP party, distributed and paid for by the LNP party, full of lies, but they had the audacity to make the “flyers” appear as though they were from the Greens themselves! 🤦‍♂️ wtf?! #Politics #Sucks

To everyone reading this, please make sure the elderly people in your life know to be very skeptical of unsolicited messages from companies, banks, government institutions, and pop-ups that say their computer is infected.

I would recommend getting them the hell off of Windows as well if you can, installing uBlock Origin in their browser, and disabling all browser notifications. Linux Mint is a great distribution for non-technical people. Just tell them to only install software from the Software Manager application and to think of it like the app store on their phone.

@bender@twtxt.net These sorts of scams are a huge problem and gift cards are an easy way to move money around anonymously. There are a few different common types of scams, but they usually involve someone logging into the victim’s computer using a remote desktop utility like TeamViewer and asking him for money under some false pretense. If the victim won’t pay, the scammer will sometimes lock down the computer so they can’t use it.

Usually, it’s nothing a reinstall won’t fix but if they can change the password/recovery of the Microsoft account and the disk is encrypted (which is the default if you sign in to a Microsoft account on Windows 11) it can be impossible to get their data back without the help of Microsoft support, who will treat you as if you’re the one trying to steal the account. It is important to remember that the people running these types of scams don’t have much deep technical knowledge (if they did, they could get a real job) so I’ve never heard of that happening but it is a serious risk.

@bender@twtxt.net I can see in the templates that autofocus="true" has always been the case (the template for the postbox has conditional logic) for Timeline, Discover and Mention views. There are like one or two views where it is set to false. So hmmm I’m not sure wtf I was thinking back then 🤔 How should it behave?

The login issue isn't really an issue as far as actually logging in goes, rather if I get my password wrong it gives the response error code in console, the response of which contains the HTML for the wrong password page if you inspect it, but on the frontend itself nothing actually happens which is the confusion. Just stays on the login page as if it was never submitted. Am I alone in having this issue as well?

Just added support for deleting and editing arbitrary Twt(s) at anypoint in your timeline. Some things to note:

  • I’m not really that happy with the code between PostHandler() and DeleteTwtHandler() anymore 😢 It really needs some major refactoring, and better tests.
  • This only works for users (for now), no support for Persona(s) / Feeds sorry.

One side-effect I’ve noticed (which was always the case); an Edited Twt whilst preserves the original timestamp, gets appended to your feed at the bottom of the file. This is counter intuitive when you think about editing text files with a text editor, but it does make sense in the way yarnd treats feeds as append-only (I had just forgotten). I’m not doing anything about this though.
