I'm out of shape. I decided to walk up the local mountain to watch the sunset, but I arrived five minutes late, even though I sped up at the end. Should have started my journey ten or fifteen minutes earlier. I saw the setting sun at foot, but the photos were total disasters.
This was really useful. 🤔 Chromium also did it for a while and then they removed it due to privacy concerns. Now none of the popular browsers do it anymore. 🫤

For following notifications I would say use webmetion refering to the the line in your twtxt.txt as per: https://darch.dk/mentions-twtxt
Or send them an email, so it would be an idea to add a # contact = mailto:me@domain.net to ones twtxt.txt

@prologic There’s another thing to consider: I have a feeling that (some/most/many?) Gopher/Gemini users wouldn’t even want that. I’ve heard them say a couple of times: “If you follow me, just drop me an e-mail.” 🤔 I don’t know if this is a widespread opinion or not, but I do feel the need to first gather some feedback from them, before we start drafting a spec. 😅

Turns out, there are seven species in Germany (two of them being venomous), but in my wider area there seem to be just the two: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Schlangenarten_in_Deutschland Probably just even one, the common European adder is more to the south, just like I thought. But maybe with the climate getting hotter and hotter, they migrate north to me, too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a very good approach. I have the feeling that requirements engineering seems to be getting more and more a forgotten art these days.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah your original idea of precent encoding some information about the new follower is probably what we need to think about more. I think it’ll also work for Gopher/Gemini folk too right? So essentially new metadata key (optional) with some spec for encoding information about the new follower if either a) You don’t implement the User-Agent part of the spec or extensions or b)You use a protocol that makes this impossible.

This would have been a lovely morning, wind softly rustling in the trees. If it wasn’t for the constant droning of the air planes. 🫤
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zero wind here for days. Last year, we saw a long string of satellites passing by when we sat at the scout ground around the fire. That looked weird indeed.

@prologic@twtxt.net We basically have no snakes around here. Just the grass snake and the common European adder. Or so I think. While it’s super hard to come across the harmless first one, it’s even rarer to find the little bit dangerous latter. Both are very shy. I never saw an adder. They probably do not live here in my area. A workmate told the other day that he accidentally run over one with this bicycle as a schoolboy, though.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I was happily suprised that the grass snake was still in this good shape.
I’ve no idea. Not sure how well frogs or toads see in the dark, but I would think if there is some noise coming towards you, you escape away and not towards it. Maybe they did not recognize me as a threat but were just curious?
This larger individual was also a frog or toad. :-) It didn’t freak me out at all, it was super cool to watch. But I thought, what an idiot. :-D I mean, hopping against me once is alright, but then trying again is a bit silly. It then stopped and sat next to my boot. About half a centimeter away. I waited a few seconds and carefully moved on.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com thank you! Having seeing Google’s Play, of whatever name they call their App Store these days, which is a mess, makes me very wary about using a third party one.
Back to the original topic, I use an iPhone. I am one of those who is perfectly fine with the Apple App Store. 😊

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think so, no. Judging by their web site, they appear to be primarily a Gemini user (no concept of a “user agent” there). This also works:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is one flat snake. 🫤 Looks quite pretty, what’s left of it anyway.
What’s going on with the frogs? I guess they can’t properly see in the dark? 🤔
That large “individual” towards the would have freaked me out. Was it at least furry? Or was it a huge spider? 🤪

Very cool, fingers crossed, @off_grid_living@twtxt.net! A simple wooden frame, like four posts and and a rectangle on top, to support the fabric/nets should suffice, wouldn’t it? No need to build full sheds, I’d say. But I’m not a farmer at all.

I’m out of shape. I decided to walk up the local mountain to watch the sunset, but I arrived five minutes late, even though I sped up at the end. Should have started my journey ten or fifteen minutes earlier. I saw the setting sun at foot, but the photos were total disasters.
On the way there I picked two handful of blackberries in the forest. Delicious!
Today was the second time in my life that I saw a grass snake in the wild. They can easily be recognized by the yellow “ears”. Unfortunately, this one was run over. :-( But I jumped at the opportunity to photograph it as it didn’t escape in a fraction of a second like my first encounter three years ago. Still, poor fellow. :-(
On the way home, a deer jumped out of the brush in front of me and headed down the forest road before it went back in the other side. As always, that’s nice.
I also had to slow down a bunch of times because of frogs or toads on the paths. Not sure which ones, it was already after dark. I guesstimate it must have been 60-70 amphibians in total, maybe more. Some of them did not move to the wayside but rather into the middle of the track, right in front of me. Crazy suicide frogs! There were four reeeeaaaallly close calls. I could just avoid stepping on them after they tried to hop right under my boot. Not a centimeter to spare. No toads were harmed during my trip. Phew!
Once I had to stop completely because of the large activity ahead of me. A larger (about the size of half a palm) individual surrounded my foot and then jumped against my heel. Twice! What the heck!? :-D But suuuper cool experience. I’m very glad I actually went out. Totally worth it. I met so many amazing animals. Don’t care about the missed sunset a single bit.

Why? Because I often exchange data via HTTP with old systems and my tooling automatically invokes that indexer/thumbnailer script. 🥴 It’s really annoying when I just see garbage in Netscape 2 or IE5.
