@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this reminds me of when I’d started learning C. This threw me off so bad, and it took me an unreasonable time to wrap my head around the difference between the precisions of floats and doubles. 🥲

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry I haven’t seen your question before! and to answer your question, no, it wasn’t hard at all. it’s a simple go build …etc. as instructed + scp twtd to remote + made a systemd service for it to (re)start automatically under a dedicated twtd user for lols. + poked at the Caddyfile to reverse-proxy a couple of paths and called it a day.

Too much info?

@david@daiwei.me @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org How about Augmented Ignorance ? it packs a better punch, doesn’t it? 😅

@GabesArcade@raw.githubusercontent.com those are getting harder and harder to come by these says. Everything is smart this, smart that and Artificial Ignorance powered now.

@prologic@twtxt.net yes! ~24 hrs ago!

@david@daiwei.me @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, I wish it was for work. I’d usually abstain from going if don’t get to choose either the location, or the company. But, both? HEeeeeLL No!! 😆

@david@daiwei.me We could say the same about the England - France game, right? 😆

+1 here. Did as soon as I got the alert 🤙

@kiwu@twtxt.net hi back at you!

The first thing that came out of my mouth this morning was: “I don’t feel like I want to go to the beach. Sue me!”

Well, yes! It IS one of those days.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That explains a lot! Thank you.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net is it normal that twtxtapp’s <tab> (white space) between the timestamps and posts look a bit shorter than the ones from jenny? just noticed that and thought maybe it’s someting you’d want to know.

The Rectangle highlights the whitespaces from Jenny and the Ellipse is over the ones from twtxtapp.

@prologic@twtxt.net Le Me! both twtd and twtxt.app 👌

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com what the hell!!? I have no idea how that happened. 😆 Thank you!

@bender@twtxt.net I just couldn’t resist the temptation, now that my usal setup has started acting funny. But I’ll keep that in mind

What’s up with this reply of mine? it was posted 2027-07-07T18:05:37+00:00 but is always showing up as having been just posted now on twtd 🤔

Image

Hello Twtd!

I don’t know why, but either Jenny’s behaving different after the last update, or I Fucked up something and I have no Idea how to fix it.

Symptoms:

• I don’t have copies of my New Posts in my Maildir after posting them (as in I don’t see them in neomutt’s inbox).
  
• Nor fetch or fetch context (if they get replied to) seem to fech them auto-magically.
  
• I had to do a full whipe (~/Maildir/twtxt and ~/.cache/jenny) in order to get them fetched back.

Hmmm… 🤔 How about now?

Hmmm… Something ain’t right. What did I break this time?

@arne@uplegger.eu I’ve tried Matrix before, it was all good and dandy until servers started getting spammed with stuff no sane human being should see (if you know what I men). So, I took down my server and never looked back.

@prologic@twtxt.net My bad. It has been a while since the last time I poked around my mystery box, and I must have Effed up something yesterday. Is it fixed now? (Also, I’ve noticed that access to my avatar is, somehow, still denied. Still poking at it. 🤦)

Anyone using XMPP? I’ve been hearing a lot about how it is the OG messaging protocol. That G00gle Talk used to use it as a back-end, that FB messanger and w_hatsapp use some modified version of it or something; And that setting up a server (or even using a public one) would be a better alternative to the aforementioned apps, so I did. Now the question is: “Where the Fu__ are my video calls at!!? 🤣” … The protocol supports videoconferencing and I’m yet to find a decent Desktop/Mobile client that implements it. I wish I knew enough Code-Fu to contribute/help implement some, somewhere.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha! Thanks. The broken avatar was a Me and my Hotlinking policy problem, It should be fixed by now. And I Freaking love the twtxt.app by the way. Cheers!

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me THIS! … has been my daily mantra, for at least 8 months; and I’m still waiting for some Magic™ to happen.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Wooop Wooop! 🥳 Congratulations!!

yey! I remembered how to prune my Jenny/Neomutt Twtxt feed! (I only keep 6 months worth of Twts) Now, I need to figure out how to set up a macro for that.

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I like oats and raisins with my yogourt too, but not for dessert.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pretty! … Also, please tell me I’m not the only one seeing Patrick (from Sponge Bob) in 01.jpg and The eye of Horus (pyramid) in 02.jpg xD

@kiwu@twtxt.net Sorry, I have two functional brain cells left in my brain, and I’m not sure if you’re asking What am I putting in it, as in a) when making some? Or as in b) when consuming/serving it?

a) 1L milk (0.5L cold + 0.5L warm @ ~45 °C), a bit of store bought yogourt for the bacteria, sugar and vanilla extract.
b) Most of the time, as is. But I’ve tried once: adding in a couple of diced strawberries that have been sitting in granulated sugar for a couple of minutes, until they’d released enough syrup, and I think I might’ve caught a new addiction on top of the original one.

What do you put in yours?

New Something Something Unlocked: “Making Yogurt”. (Still not sure if it’s a new skill or an addiction)

@bender@twtxt.net Sweet! So glad that Twtxt still lives, and that everyone’s been keeping busy. My main computer is broken, It’ll take me some time to setup jenny on the R-pi and try to catch-up.

Have a blessed week-end everyone!

Been missing you, friends! I hope life’s been treating you well. What did I miss?

New year new… year; And That’s about it. No M(ent)alware upgrade needed this time.

FFS! Finally got a better Internet service 🥲

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I swear, Her vlog is all I needed to cleanse my soul! Full of pure human interactions (whenever there is any), No BS No pretending and No Nonsense. Again, Thank you!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It was too late when I read the “Addictive” warning… 😆 Thanks for sharing this!

@prologic@twtxt.net I dunno if it’s me or the bridge, but my pleroma instance didn’t pull any of your notes + a follow request got stuck as Request Sent

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can associate your identity to the apex domain with a bit of Webfinger wizardry, but I don’t. Mine are always attached to the sub-domains. I find it easier to migrate between instances that way without risking borking federation.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe yeah, that’s the only reason why I use sub-domains when trying anything federated (I believe Matrix has the same problem), in case things didn’t go as planned I can just migrate and take it down.

@prologic@twtxt.net looks like a tiny green apple to me 😅 … but this site says maybe a Guava

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute… +1 point goes to GTS’s docs. but hey, I’ll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I’m wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven’t seen it yet)

I’m contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people’s past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality …etc felt like handicap for the past N months.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Not sure if you can find a second hand Canon G7X for cheap (it doesn’t have to be a Mark II or Mark III), you might love it. But watch a couple of reviews just to make sure it is/does what you need it for.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t find the exact blog post from before, one that used redirection directives in its nginx config. but I found [this one ](https://melkat.blog/p/unsafe-pricing#:~:text=Something%20else%20I’ve%20been%20doing%20this%20year,%20fine.) mentioning a similar process but done differently.

@prologic@twtxt.net Sweeet! 🥳 enjoy your holiday!

Finally!! I can go to sleep!

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe HAHAHAHAHAH! Hell yeah!!

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve had even requested access to it in order to give it a try and report whatever I can but, Sorry I never got to do any of it. 2025 slam dunked a massive pile of 💩 over my life (hence the disappearance, trying to avoid talking about any of it) and I’m just starting to recover (or at least trying to).

@prologic@twtxt.net The periodic blacklists updates will be done automatically in the background, as for the different processing mechanisms (rules, collections of rules, remediation …etc) you just install/add the pre-made ones from the hub and call it a day, they’ll get periodic updates when needed. But you could easily create and add your own in case you want to block or white-list a specific behavior

PSA: Just in case you start getting 5xxs on my end, I’m not dead 😂 (well, unless I am). Well be changing ISPs and hopefully get the new line up and running before the old provider cuts us off.

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember reading a blog-post where someone has been throwing redirects to some +100GB files (usually used for speed testing purposes) at a swarm of bots that has been abusing his server in order to criple them, but I can’t find it anymore. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it bookmarked somewhere.

@prologic@twtxt.net 😂HAHA, thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net The main thing that I tought of is that whomever is abusing your services must be a well known actor (by range/set of IPs) that got reported by other Crowdsec users. So to my simpleton’s understanding, your reverse-proxy/web server passes the requests by crowdsec for processing, they get banned for $N hours if the source has already been blacklisted by the community or violates any of a set of behavior base rules (and even more hours for repeat offenders); otherwise the requests/responses go as per usual. Not sure if I got things right but this might help paint a better picture of the process.

@prologic@twtxt.net How so? even I (the caveman) am running one 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll create one manually and send you the creds so you can change them as soon as you log in (my instance isn’t set up to send emails). Not sure how you could get access to logs, not even my admin account has that on the admin panel. I just snoop trough the /var/log/* when needed.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d say give crowdsec a try but I know for sure you prefer your own WAF … 😅

This caveman is getting too old for the Internet… 😅 It took me 1 hrs and 50 mins to catch up with what’s been going on my feed.

@prologic@twtxt.net Let me know if you still need an account for testing. My tin-can bandwidth is slow AF but usable if you don’t mind the speed.

Pod is* back up online! Woohooo!! 🥳 (*has been for days)

Is it me or is the we.loveprivacy.club yarn instance down? 🤔 I’ve been getting a 502 the last couple of days.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing these, they look so beautiful!

Specimen 1: A caveman marking his territory:

Image

Not even a Spell checker can fix that ☝️ so … sed -e 's/replay/reply' -e 's/gave/have

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org YES! it must gave felt This good when cavemen discovered Fire! 🔥

@bender@twtxt.net You are totally correct! The thing is: The Caveman within was thinking how minimal can one go before things start to get too uncomfortable? And if cavemen weren’t supposed to be too self-conscious about their spelling, I could have just ssh remote echo "$(date -Is)\tTwt Twt Mother-Lover! 🤣🤣" >> /path/to/twtxt.txt and called it a day.

Just typing twts directly into my twtxt file.

Details:

• Opening my twtxt file remotely using vim scp://user@remote:port//path/to/twtxt.txt
  
• Inserting the date, time and tab part of the twt with :.!echo "$(date -Is)\t"
  
• In case I need to add a new line I just Ctrl+Shift+u, type in the 2028 and hit Enter
  
• In order to replay, you just steal a twt hash from your favorite Yarn instance.
  

It looks tedious, but it’s fun to know I can twt no matter where I am, as long as can ssh in.

Look Ma, I can reply! 🤣🤣🤣

Holly! I thing I might have figured out a way to twt like a true caveman 🤣
The sad thing tho is this caveman will have to cheat a bit in order to replay properly…
(P.S: I hope the multi-lines trick works, if not then F..rog it!)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I guess r/unixporn got themselves a competition xD

@bender@twtxt.net Oh! It’s all good, I was planning on retiring my TheLounge instance anyways and will stick to connecting directly for the occasional chat when needed. Cheers! (Sorry for the belated reply.)

@zvava@twtxt.net This made my day. 🤣🤣🤣 And now I’m very tempted to printing this on a T-shirt 🤣 (It could be my very fist Silk screen print ever)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I tried making an ascii scribble of penguin waving back at you but I gave up halfway through my first try xD … HI! 👋

Thanks @bender@twtxt.net it’s been a long time indeed but, I was here the whole time. Just silent. I just didn’t have much meaningful/worth twting about … /ME flips a bird to life

Yey! I Think we’re back on track. All I was missing was #twtxt2html and a couple of symlincs into ~/bin

Nothing serious! just a sanity check Twt x) ...

Howdy @prologic@twtxt.net !! I missed hanging out the Cool Kids* 🤣 I hope everyone has had a good summer and doing well 🫡

👀

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 🤣 LMAO! this one caught me off guard, I wasn’t expecting THIS

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wait, I should post a picture of my old Walkman and a couple of cassette tapes to verify 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Permaculture should do the trick 😉

ROFL 🤣 I’ve just read from someone on the Fedi, that Bluesky has started asking people for ID

/ME feels like melting fater than a bowl of Icecream. Weeeeee… 🫠😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Heey… Welcome back!! 🫡 How was the trip? I Hope you’ve had a good time!

I was this 🤏 close to buying a couple of baby-cactus plants but, I couldn’t … I still have to save up for that future screen printing project. 🥲

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m feeling SO dumb right now 😅 I used to think !! was a sudo argument and never used it out of that context! Thanks for the $(!!) tip 🤘

@prologic@twtxt.net Enjoy your road trip! Have fun!! 🤘

@bender@twtxt.net Now I AM curious! What rabbit-hole? what am I missing here? 😆

Just discovered how easy it is to recall my last arg in shell and my brain went 🤯 How come I’ve never learned about this before!? I wonder how many other QOL shortcuts I’m missing on 🥲

Achievement Unlocked: I have finally gotten to sit my ass down and watch Back to the future from start to the end.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz join the SearxNG cult! the grass is way greener over here 😁

@movq@www.uninformativ.de neither do I 😆 and I’m going full Albert Camus mode. Embracing the Absurdism of life just to cope, it’s the only choice I have left.

Unless your Terms of use update email looks and reads the same as the one I got yesterday from mastodon.social, I don’t wanna know about it, nor do I agree to it.

FFS! Can’t I just get results, accurate no BS results? No erroneous/misleading AI-Slop of a summary I’ve never asked for ? I get it, there is plenty of people who LOooove (if not worship) that shit, Good for them! But at least make it opt-in or add in some kind of “Do Not Slop” browser option (as if the “Do Not Track” one made a difference, but I digress). Shit’s only going down-hill from here, I might as well as just spin up my own Searx instance and call it a day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de > That guy over there in the corner…

I’m literally sitting in a corner chuckles. I rarely get any emails nowadays. But if I do and it is not plain-text, then my Mutt gets to bark at it and I, just… won’t read it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

🥁 Brrrrrrrrr… Bud’em… Tsssss…

You know what! tt2 UX kicks 🍑 !! Message previews and all … Sheeeeesh! 😁

@bender@twtxt.net there you go, it shows just fine on the souris instance

@bender@twtxt.net Can’t you see this twt ??

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you have no idea what a soul sucking, heartbreaking SOB 2025 turned out to be. I wish you the best of luck with whatever annoyances life might have thrown your way. Power to you, my friend.
