@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The worst thing is, you never really know when it’s finished. If this showed a blank window for 5 seconds, it would still be annoying, but you wouldn’t start reading/scrolling the page, only for it to jump around like crazy, making you miss click targets, … It’s just horrible. 😂

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I have to wait five seconds after opening any Jira ticket before the JS garbage has eventually fetched all the other information and rebuilt the DOM. Only then I can actually begin to scroll down to the information I’m after. Every fucking time.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club It looked like elisp at first glance… is it? 🤔

I followed a story link to the Chicago Tribune, and they offered me a $1 deal for a year of access. It was in my price range, so I took it. Even I can afford $.08/month.

I learned numbers today.

$ printf '\xC2\xB9, \xC2\xBC, \xD9\xA4, \xE1\xAA\x96, \xE3\x8D\xA4, \xDB\xB0, \xE2\x9D\xBB, \xE2\x91\xB9, 1' | grep -o '[0-9]'
¹
¼
٤

Sad that it doesn’t match on .

Confused by:

$ printf '\xE2\x9D\xBB, \xE2\x91\xB9, 1' | grep -o '[1-6]'
1
$ printf '\xE2\x9D\xBB, \xE2\x91\xB9, 1' | grep -o '[1-7]'
❻
⑹
1

So and are a 7?

Still haven’t dug up why it needs the extra ASCII 1 for anything to match. Maybe tomorrow.

Umm no! It’s figuring out how to build an auto-complete that doesn’t require a nuclear power plant! Oh wait 🤔 we did that like 50 years ago already 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. I see flamingos, and I think of old people (group I am about to belong soon [well, kid says I am already there]), and pastel colours. Very stereotypical. :-)

@johanbove@johanbove.info … all UIs I have to use at work act like that. No, they are actually worse, because they behave like this: https://hiccupfx.telnet.asia/

I only get to enjoy fast and snappy UIs in my free time when I’m doing hobby stuff. You’d expect it to be the other way around. 🙄

In-reply-to » @sorenpeter test 5.2

@prologic@twtxt.net sure! I don’t know if this is what you need but, let me give it a try.

  • I have Timeline installed, which has an endpoint to process #webmentions. Mine for example is https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention which you can find by querying https://aelaraji.com/.well-known/webfinger.
  • If you mention someone from #Timeline itself, it takes care of querying that and sending in the mention for you.
  • Otherwise (what I personally do) you could just:
curl -i -d 'source=https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt#:~:text=2024-12-09T01:22:37Z' -d 'target=https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt' https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention

basically what @sorenpeter@darch.dk mentioned in his article Here.

Afterwards, the mentions are stored in their own mentions.txt feed. The one from the example above looks like this on my Timeline :

Feel free to spam my endpoint if you’d like to give things a try. 👍

[P.S: personally, I don’t seem to get the mentions if I add the Text fragment part to my target]

In-reply-to » Finally, the message rendering in my tt Go rewrite produces some colors. There is definitely a lot more tweaking necessary. But this is a first step in the right direction.

Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and @movq@www.uninformativ.de!

I partially fixed the code block rendering. With some terrible hacks, though. :-( I see that empty lines in code block still need some more work. There are also some other cases around line continuation where the result looks ugly. I have to refactor some parts to make this go more smoothly and do this properly. No way around that.

Turns out, my current message text parser does not even parse plain links. That’s next on the agenda.

Oh, I also noticed that this thing crashes when there is not enough space to actually draw stuff. No shortage of work. Anyway, time is up, good night. :-)
