In-reply-to » So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a ... Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net You’d be surprised how many lifetime old accounts I still have, scattered all over the internet. I just don’t have much energy to go through deleting each and every single one of them. xD and here is a bonus image for LOLs

In-reply-to » "Designed by Apple in California" stopped being sold in 2019. It sold for $199, and $299 (two sizes). Check the eBay pricing on that link, if you want to know the selling price today.

@bender@twtxt.net I still have my Famicom from when I was 5 or so and this makes me think I might get away with selling it’s manual for pretty money instead of just framing it and hanging by the desk … wanna buy it? 😂

In-reply-to » @prologic Nah. twtxt + Mastodon is enough social media for me. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Same here… Twtxt and Mastodon are more than enough for me. I used to have a BSky account with my own domain name as a handle (which I ended up deleting after a while) and even taught about running my own PDS and the whole nine yards but, it didn’t feel like it was worth the hassle.

In-reply-to » Alright. I am---actually, "we" are---out for the next couple of days. Do me a favour and stick some needles on that orange voodoo doll you got---make one, if you don't!

@bender@twtxt.net take care buddy, Have fun! … and, I can stick a pinky in a tangerine like I’m five and it’s orange, does that count?

In-reply-to » Been curious to see if can filter out my access.log file and output a list of my twtxt followers just in case I've missed someone ... I came up with this awk -F '\"' '/twtxt/ {print $(NF-1)}' /var/log/user.log | grep -v 'twtxt\.net' | sort -u | awk '{print $(NF-1) $NF}' | awk '/^\(/' spaghetti monster of a command and I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way for achieving the same thing.

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, it sounds like homework! 🤔 I’m IN!! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I’ve played with it for a bit and read through the code hoping I could steal some of your regex. I’m trying to up my awk(1p) game but failing miserably. 😆

I remember having seen one somewhere but can’t remember where.

In-reply-to » Feels like my days of browsing YouTube for content are numbered. It's only a matter of time before YouTube refuses to load for any browser with an ad blocker.

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net have the Invidious instances (alternative front-end to the platform) stop working? Otherwise, I have just figured my way around navigating PeerTube content and I wouldn’t even miss it if YT had to disappear from the internet.

In-reply-to » So, we need a computer for house (that is, wife and I) usage. We have none, we rely on our pocket computers. I would like to fill the void with the recently announced Mac mini. What technique could I use with an already stressed out wife, to accomplish this goal? 😅

@david@collantes.us How much of a computer does it have to be? Would a ZimaBoard do the trick? I don’t have a wife, so I wouldn’t know any better 😅

In-reply-to » What are peoples #IRC setup? Do you have your own bouncer server or just have a you computer always on? And do you IRC on mobile?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I’ve been using weechat for a while then when I started learning my way around Emacs I switched to Circe … a couple months later I setup ZNC, rolled with it for some time but wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with it. Now I’m mainly using TheLounge and do find it convenient accessing it from anywhere. but quite honestly, I don’t have a preference.

In-reply-to » Feeling suspicious about a little something and I, don't like it -the feeling- a bit. Maybe I'm just being paranoid... but most probably I'm just being an ignorant judgemental piece of shit and I hate myself for it already.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, sorry about that, I shouldn’t have put something like that out there in the fist place. It started as a completely different twit then I got overwhelmed noticing that I may have became the exact same thing I despise the most 🤦

In-reply-to » I'm not even supposed to do be doing any of this, I should be making stuff* with Shapes, forms and color instead of poking at software with a stick like a caveman. 😆

Alas, I can’t get myself to resist. Interacting with tech and software makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop: “I wanna taste all of it! Find my favorite Lollipop and wonder about where it came from, who made it? How is it possible to turn any kind of mushy juicy fruit into a hard, forever lasting candy in a freaking stick!? Oh, Wait!! Is THAT chocolate over there!!?”

*Stuff: Things I make and refuse to call Art, unless I have to in a resume and what not.

In-reply-to » Yeah I know! My ship was sinking and I've just noticed. Patched up the holes and now we're back afloat.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Although my recent breakage/down time was more of a result of human error than it is something to blame on software itself, I do get your point; and will highly probably end up going the same route in the near future. It’s just that in order to south my forever itching curiosity, I have to learn and try some things first.
