@xuu@txt.sour.is Duuuuude, you Have been missed!! Happy seeing you around after all this time. I hope life has been treating you well 🙏

Exactly! 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I did/still willing to try it on desktop. I feel like I’d be more involved in learning more about it’s ins and outs that way.

Naaah, forget it… I just had a couple of flashbacks.

Maybe it’s a sign 😏 I’m just too lazy to backup my Home dir …

@kamme@twtxt.thanatos.be herbstluftwm! I haven’t had much luck with netbsd (skill issues). I had given it a try in a VM, ~4 years ago, and managed to brick it in less than a week xD The sad thing though, was deleting the VM. missing out on an opportunity to boot in single user mode and try fixing my mess.

@kamme@twtxt.thanatos.be It’s my favorite! It just feels like home 👍

I thought modifying the Caps key was cool. Now I discovered Home Row mods and gave em’ a try … Dear goodness! There’s no going back from this xD

“It looks like I wanted to ask about something… I can’t remember what it was” xD

Pretty sure it’ll be one of those things I’ll suddenly remember during a shower, only to forget about, again, as soon as I want to ask about it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That sounds clean! do you I’m still experimenting with Key Remapping, and have mine mapped to insert since I never use that one, while Caps got sacrificed for Ctrl.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I remember when I effed up that twt and complained like an idiot when it got stuck at the top of my timeline x’)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It is such a relief !! I can finally type my Ç, œ, à, ê, é …etc without breaking a sweat. xD

I love those!! and have been thinking about giving it a try too but never got to. I’ve seen people making pin-hole cameras out of soda cans and match boxes then setting them in random/remote areas for a couple of days… the whole process makes it really fun.

@david@daiwei.me @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org both instances appear to be down yet still pulling my feed. Maybe an auto-upgrade gone wrong?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s weird… I’d dropped off Clownflare’s proxy ever since it started blocking @david@daiwei.me’s requests. That should’ve fixed any problems of that kind (unless traffic is coming from GCloud or Microslop servers, then sorry, not sorry) 😄 … my WAF (Crowdsec) isn’t blocking you either.

I’ve checked my logs, and can see your requests being handled successfully, although, the last one so far dates from 2026-10-15T18:47:32 is that normal? are you getting any error messages?

So many Yarn™ folk went to get some milk then never came back. I hope they’re doing alright.

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz yeah, I totally get it. Especially after the insane type of weather we’ve been getting lately… but hey, soak in as much sunlight while you still can, we might start longing for that instead of storm and rain in a couple of months from now 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @david@daiwei.me Unfortunately, it has only lasted for a couple of hours, but Ho~lly!! We’ve had the loudest Thunder Bangs any of us has ever heard. Maybe a redux tonight? I Could’t get enough of the neighbors’ screams (and I’m not even sorry). 😆

I was Today years old when I learned about the Compose Key 🫠 So, no more Ctrl+Shift+U’s for or having to remember Unicode like a chimp

Holly! Thor’s trowing one hell of a party ⚡

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Woah! these are gorgeous!!

Finally got Thunder & Rain! Woooho ⚡👯⚡

@khaled@twtpub.com Howdy!

@david@daiwei.me yeah, I’d reverted the changes I had made a couple of minutes ago and the parleyctl check looks good, but the federation is still broken by the looks of things.

Ponctuation 🤦

@david@daiwei.me I did was trying a little something since CF won’t proxy anything other HTTP(s) and ended up Borking my instance. Things should be working by now.

@david@daiwei.me I’ve added in a little exception to the WAF, if it doesn’t work (at least until I figure why the hell are twtxt-app requests getting caught up in my Known Bad Actors rule in the first place), then I’ll have to tear the whole thing down and redo it from scratch.

@david@daiwei.me Hmmmm²

Image

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org unfortunately, you’ve guessed right.

@david@daiwei.me Are you still getting the 403 thing?

~3 Days till elections… and the campaigns have been nothing but a Shi* Show.

P.S: We’ve got +30 Political Parties BTW.

@david@daiwei.me sorry you got caught in my 403 mess. My tiny tin box is being hammered at by some BS AI bot for a ~week now, so I might have gone a bit too defensive with my WAF & Co. 🤭 I’ll investigate in the morning.

This was supposed to be a reply to @david@daiwei.me . It has been too long I forgot how to things properly 😅

HellOo Ol’friend, happy seeing you again! I hope life has been kind to you all this time 👋

We are the woooorld
We are the childreeeen
We are the ones, who make a briiiiighter daaaay…

La, Laaa lalaaaa;
La, Laaa lalaaaa…

@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.

Image

@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!
