In-reply-to » For the mutt/neomutt users out here, what's the trick to highlight threads with new messages? No user interaction, just upon opening, or while opened, have threads with new, unread messages in it highlighted. Thanks!

@bender@twtxt.net yup, this works well. I needed those extra settings.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I have got it, but need to test upon receiving further posts. I added:

set uncollapse_new     = yes  # open threads when new mail
set uncollapse_jump    = yes  # jump to unread message when uncollapse
set collapse_unread    = no   # don't collapse threads with unread mails

Let’s see how it goes.

Collapsed threads, that is. If I un-collapse a thread, new/unread messages show on the intended new colour, but while the thread is in collapsed state, there is no highlight.

In-reply-to » Yeah, user error on my end, never mind. The persisted settings.yaml overrides the command line arguments. That's surprising to me. I expected the command line options to overrule the config file. Oh well.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org in Australia, take everything you have learned, and do the opposite. After all, it is the land down under! :-D

In-reply-to » POWER EFFIN' OUTAGE!!! Electricity came back after ~10 min like... no beggie BUT, Internet stayed out for like 2 more hrs 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com didn’t know there was a place to fix them; in here we toss them. Wish it was cheap to ship stuff. I have a couple of decent monitors in the garage that will soon take a trip to the curve…

In-reply-to » @movq, maybe you can help me with this. I want to place the vim cursor at the end of the first line on replies, and forks. I have tried adding to this to jenny's configuration:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! Yes! Perfect now. Hitting reply opens it with insert, and prompt at the end of the first line. Just as I wanted it. Thank you much!

In-reply-to » @mckinley Wow, I was not aware, that there are different kinds of blackberries. But of course there are. Everything has all sorts of different species, why would it be different with these tasty guys? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “good, good, and fascinating indeed” – says Quark, all while eating an overflowing toast with butter, and blackberry jam. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I guess I could do that too. I have startinsert set on my .vimrc, so I will either have to take it out, or exit insert, $, then insert again. I think the way you do it would be the way to go.

I tried setting VISUAL to be something like vim -c 'star!', which does the same thing, but no dice. :-/

In-reply-to » @movq, using the branch on topic right now, it works perfect. The only thing I found was that I had to quit neomutt, and re-open, to see the perfect thread. Other than that, I love it!

User error on this one. It works perfectly!

In-reply-to » Because I saw the nick on movq (@prologic, can't mention anyone outside this pod, by the way), I looked the user up: https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt. I wonder if the "hashes" they are using will work out of the box with jenny.

@bender@twtxt.net hmm, I wonder if these are simply twtxts auto created from an ActivityPub feed. Ah, crap, they are. LOL.

In-reply-to » Correct, @bender. Since the very beginning, my twtxt flow is very flawed. But it turns out to be an advantage for this sort of problem. :-) I still use the official (but patched) twtxt client by buckket to actually fetch and fill the cache. I think one of of the patches played around with the error reporting. This way, any problems with fetching or parsing feeds show up immediately. Once I think, I've seen enough errors, I unsubscribe.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ah, if only you were to finally clean up that code, and make that client widely available…! One can only dream, right? :-)

In-reply-to » @movq, that would be a nice addition. :-) I would also love the ability to hide/not show the hash when reading twtxts (after all, that's on the header on each "email"). Could that be added as a user configurable toggle?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you said you liked seeing the hash (which is a fair choice!). All I am asking is for a reconsideration as a user configurable feature. ;-) It looks redundant, in my opinion.

In-reply-to » @movq Is there a good way to get jenny to do a one-off fetch of a feed, for when you want to fill in missing parts of a thread? I just added @slashdot to my private follow file just because @prologic keeps responding to the feed :-P and I want to know what he's commenting on even though I don't want to see every new slashdot twt.

In-reply-to » @aelaraji I'm definitely putting that in the list. I like tmux but I just can't wrap my head around the controls. This looks more like a tiling window manager.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I have a custom .tmux.conf that makes it very easy to use the multiplexer, but I agree, Zellij seems pretty robust, and intuitive. I like it! Tried compiling it, as with everything Rust, it failed miserably. Good thing there is a binary release I could download to try!

@sorenpeter@darch.dk a poem about me giving Odo a free bucket:

A glint in his eye, a sly, Ferengi grin,
Quark crossed the promenade, a curious thing within.
No jeweled trinket, no weapon so grand,
But a simple pail held tight in his hand.

Odo, the Constable, with a brow raised high,
“A bucket, Quark? What trickery do you try?”
The Ferengi huckster, with a salesman’s flair,
“A gift, my friend, a constable’s rare!”

“For those late-night spills, a morphing mishap,
This bucket, dear Odo, will catch every scrap.
And should a suspect turn to goop and flee,
This pail’s the answer, a guarantor, you see!”

Odo’s lips twitched, a hint of a smile,
At Quark’s twisted logic, his mercantile style.
“Perhaps,” he conceded, the bucket held tight,
“A useful addition, in the pursuit of right.”

So Quark made his sale, with a wink and a nod,
A bucket for Odo, a Ferengi oddity, odd.
But on Deep Space Nine, where chaos takes hold,
Even a pail can be worth more than gold.

About the account, thanks, but I already have way too many. :-D

In-reply-to » I'm closing down neotxt.dk as a yarn pod. It will instead offer hosting of timeline or what ever other php stuff you want to run. To get started send me a poem to poem@neotxt.dk

@bender@twtxt.net ha! He goes his “poem”:

A string of letters, a forgotten name,
An email crafted, a message to claim.
We hit send with a click, a hopeful sigh,
But a bounce-back arrives, a tear in our eye.

“Delivery failed,” the message reads cold,
The address it seems, is a story untold.
A ghost in the system, a memory’s trace,
Lost in the void of cyberspace.

:-D

In-reply-to » @bender I don't mind the character limit. If I hit it and I still have more to say, it's a good reminder that I should probably write a note instead. I like to POSSE anything that might have value outside of the current conversation.

@mckinley@twtxt.net, in your blog, I think a “line-heigh” of 1.5 (if I remember correctly you are setting it on the “body” on CSS) will make it more legible.

If Canonical really want to entice the enterprise to buy support, they really need to step up. As of now they are not even close to offer the quality of support Red Hat offers. Not even close.
