In-reply-to » 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!)

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

@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.

In-reply-to » @aelaraji tell us all about it, without omitting details!

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.

In-reply-to » @aelaraji, I mean to follow up here on the brief exchange we had on irc.mills.io, but I forgot. Never too late, so here it goes:

@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.)

In-reply-to » 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.

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

In-reply-to » @kat That's what I was going for at first, I already have my compose file to go up -d, but then I took a look at a couple of #Snac instances at the last second and they looked pretty dope! Now I'm stuck in my own head 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Mainly the bsd.cafe ones. I like how the minimalist single column profiles look. Image embeds are full width and reading through threads feels nice (as in it doesn’t feel like pealing layers upon layers of a fresh onion).

You know what, I can always run a separate Snac instance alongside the GTS one later on if I want to, maybe even use it for sharing Phtography stuff… a pixelfed alternative on budget kind of thing. 🤡

In-reply-to » @aelaraji I use to be a pot or more a day but have cut that back in the last 4 or so years to just 2-3 cups. Main reason was because I was getting jittery which didn't happen before. I do think it is good to go without periodically (probably applies to more things than coffee) to just reset the system.

  1. Short term solution: I’ve geo-locked my Timeline instance since I’m the only one using it (and I only do so for reading twts when I’m away from terminal).
  2. Long term: I took a look at your Caddy WAF but couldn’t figure things out on my own; until then, I’ll be poking at Caddy-Defender, maybe throw in a Crowdsec for lols… #FUN

It’s been ages since the last time we’ve had as much and as frequent of a rainfall as we’ve been having this week. The smell, the sounds, the wind pushing against my body … are taking over my senses with joy, leaving no room for worry™ (about the possibility of a flood).

it’s been while since I’d stopped #window-manager hopping and just settled with #Herbstluftwm but I’m NGL, the River #Wayland compositor is starting to grow on me… I’m still not sure if it’s just me but something about it feels clean and snappy. The shortcuts in the vanilla/example configuration feel a bit clunky, but then again, it’s just me being used to the same old ones I keep adopting and replicating across WMs. I’ve got 0 energy for ricing so I’ll just roll with the vanilla config as is (maybe add in a short-cut for a launcher but that will be it).

In-reply-to » (#jzdbrkq) What do you think? Where is the problem?

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I believe you have just reproduced the bug… it looks like you’ve replayed to a twt but the hash is wrong. I can see the hash here from Jenny, but it doesn’t look like it corresponds to any{twt,thing}. if you check it out on any yarn instance it won’t look like a replay.

My hypothesis about that thing breaking my twts is that it might have something to do with the parenthesis surrounding the root twt hash in the replay twt-A when I replay to it with fork-twt-B; I imagine elisp interpreting those as a s-expression thus breaking the generation precess of hash (#twt-A) before prepending it to for-twt-B … but then I’m too ignorant to figure out how to test my theory (heck I couldn’t even recalculate the hashes myself correctly in bash xD). I’ll keep trying tho.
