Early on, I was thinking about WAN IP address changes as well but it hasn’t happened in ~2.5 years with this ISP.

You mean to say you have the same public IP all the time? For 2.5 years now? Without paying extra? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net That’s fair 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net I just accept that if shit™ breaks, there ain’t much I can do about it until I can. So that forces me to automate things as much as possible.

@prologic@twtxt.net It looks interesting; definitely a novel approach. I just don’t think I have any use for it right now. I’ve thought about joining one those pubnixes that are around but I don’t think I’d ever do anything with an account on someone else’s server.

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess the difference is that your self-hosted services are publicly accessible so it allows such a setup. For me, everything is over Wireguard. If that link breaks and I’m not at home I can’t resolve domain names, let alone do any kind of server administration. That’s what the hidden service is for.

Btw @mckinley@twtxt.net – You may be interested (not sure if have the time though) in mbox.blue 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Nope.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s no remote administration in the Mills DC? Not even through a VPN?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I work entirely remotely myself too, so I don’t really need this level of remote access either.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I used to have an SSH port reachable from the outside, but since I’m doing 99.999999% working-from-home now, I no longer need that. (I don’t even have a desk at the office anymore and – and this is important for us Germans! – no parking spot, either! 😅)

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

No. My network is firewalled and the only way into it is physically being on it.

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

I have a Tor hidden service that lets me SSH into my server from anywhere. I never had to use it until last week. I was playing around with the port forwarding configuration on my router for Wireguard (migrating to a new server, very exciting), forgot to change it back, and found myself an hour away from home hoping to watch a show on Jellyfin. All it took to fix it was an SSH port forward through that hidden service to (very slowly) access my home router’s Web interface.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes! then there was this fun breaker of an article but hey, I ain’t doing it for security 😆 so I’ll just keep on keeping on.

Woot! I got wolfssl and the wolfssl command-line tool compiled successfully and installed on µLinux 💪 Now I can do all sorts of crypto stuff, generate TLS keys, etc all from a tiny ~20MB Linux distro 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m scratching my head already trying to figure this one out 🤣 not sure if just mirroring ldd’s output into my image’s content would do, -I’ve Just found about that one by the way.- but I’ll never know until I try.

@johanbove@johanbove.info Hey! 👋 Wishhing you all the best too! Hope you have a great break with your family! See ya around 🤗

As long as you can correctly statically link your binary of course 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes building OCI images with no userland to speak of is great isn’t it 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Dud! you should see the updated version! 😂 I have just discovered the scratch #container image and decided I wanted to play with it… I’m probably going to end up rebuilding a LOT of images.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice! 😊

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hello to your nephew, mate! Cheers!

Showing my nephew around linux… and what’s a better example of text editing in terminal than an actual twt? eh? 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Looks fun. Also kind of looks like APL and Forth had a baby on Jupyter.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hello!

@kh1b@kh1b.org Welcome to twtxt!

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, nice! :-D This is the real one today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-12-20/01.jpg It was a bit more intense some minutes ago, though.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh haha 😆 You nearly had me 😅

Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)

Sunset:

Sunset in the oven

No, of course not. This is the gingerbread in the oven with my digicam’s sunset program. The second photo shows the colors more like they are in reality. It surprises me every year how absolutely sticky this dough is. Holy cow! Close to impossible to spread it evenly in the baking tray. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/lebkuchen-2024-12-20/

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Sweet! 😅

Glad you like them, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. Anytime!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Beautiful shots as usual! thank you for sharing these with us. 🤘

In the short horizontal rain stroll a few minutes ago I noticed that my rain trousers leak around the right knee.

Way to go F*** Book! With another $263M going down the drains … And people’s lives/data with it.

I’ve started a draft over at: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/src/branch/main/exts/webfinger.md

This is a very nice article from 20 years ago, probably still valid: The Command Line – The Best Newbie Interface? https://www.osnews.com/story/6282/the-command-line-the-best-newbie-interface/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yep, 14 is a house martin tower: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwalbenhaus There are a few around here, although most of these nesting boxes are actually not on dedicated towers, but attached at the roof overhangs of private houses.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk This all makes sense, yes 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net maybe you meant to specify twtxt as a type similar to ActivityPub’s application/activity+json in https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=sorenpeter@norrebro.space

    {
      "rel": "self",
      "type": "application/activity+json",
      "href": "https://norrebro.space/users/sorenpeter"
    },

Then it would also make sense to define a Link Relations but should that then link to something like https://twtxt.dev/webfinger.html where we can describe the spec?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.

And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh 🤣 I hate flies, and lately our house has been buzzing with these pesky flying little annoying ass creatures! 😱 I wish I could invent a laser weapon to vaporize the bastards 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Doesn’t matter. This is a generic advice. 😂

(I was cleaning up spiders on my balcony.)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I personally would like to see us standardize on the use of webfinger for sure 👍

I like the cleaness and indiewebness of using just domains for handles/shorthands similar to blusky, but the situations with more users on the same domain and that people in the fediverse (threads too?) are already familiar with the syntax speaks for webfinger. And since we already got support for webfinger in both yarnd and timeline it makes sense to stick with it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Really beautiful shot 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Kill what? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 14.jpg looks like a breeding/housing station for birds. Never seen such a thing around here. 🤯

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Lovely indeed. It’s quite nice and warm at the moment. 😊

Friendly reminder to kill it before it breeds.
