In-reply-to » it works fine if you properly escape your urls!

Do browsers not percent-encode URLs automatically? They did in the past, right? For some reason I thought they still did, but they showed the original URL in the bar for readability.

I just used mitmproxy and pasted that URL and it didnā€™t escape it at all.

In-reply-to » Just been playing around with some numbers... A typical small static website or blog could be run for $0.30-$0.40 USD/month. How does that compare with what you're paying @mckinley ? šŸ¤”

@prologic@twtxt.net I am on the ā€œNon-Production Siteā€ plan with NearlyFreeSpeech which means Iā€™m limited to 1 GiB per day of bandwidth and am occasionally subjected to ā€œlow-risk tests and betasā€. The implication is that there may be downtime on my site but I havenā€™t noticed any since April of 2020 when I began hosting with them. Itā€™s 1 cent per day as a base cost for that plan.

I also pay $1 per gigabyte-month for storage and I am using 9.29 MiB which means I pay a little less than one cent per month. It used to be even less than that, but since I started using Git the complete Git history is stored on the server as well as the live copy of the site.

There is an additional charge of 1 cent per 44.64 ā€œRAUsā€, their measurement combining CPU and memory usage over time. On the Non-Production plan, only resources used by processes other than the Web server are counted. I donā€™t believe I have ever been charged for this.

Here is my billing report for 2023 so far.

In-reply-to » @prologic @justamoment Yet another unpronouncable project name, congrats. :-D The content column is way too narrow in my opinion, I basically have to horizontally scroll all diffs. Also the log view could benefit from a much wider view so that commit subjects are not split into several lines. That would help readability. All in all, way too much waste of screen space in my mind, but that might be inherited from legit, I don't know. I wonder how the twtxt part pans out, currently I don't see how that helps and simplifies any workflows. Let's see. Happy hacking!

I would personally love to see the Git log provided as a twtxt feed. Giteaā€™s feed situation is still awful. I donā€™t think anybody skimmed the Atom spec before they released the feature.

In-reply-to » I found that old Article (2012) : Minority Report is real: FBI wants to use social networks to prevent future crime : https://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/minority-report-is-real-fbi-wants-to-use-social-networks-to-prevent-future-crime/

@tkanos@twtxt.net I like to ask the same question about PRISM. Just look at the reach the NSA had in 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM#The_slides

Boy, I wonder what theyā€™re doing with the massive Utah Data Center which was completed in 2014.
