In-reply-to » @bender Over here, people can put red ribbons on their fruit trees to signal that they are free to use for everyone. That's an effort to minimize the giant food waste. Meadow orchard owners who do not have the time or energy anymore to harvest themselves (I reckon a lot of them are of age nowadays), can ensure that the tasty things do not simply rot away. Also, the town hangs those ribbons on trees on municipal properties.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org forgot to add that this:

Is mighty awesome, and gives a sense of small community. That’s why I asked how big, or small, your town was. 😊

In-reply-to » Made the first apple sauce of the season in around three to four hours of work. Pretty cool, very, very little waste. The jars are currently cooking.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, thank you for explaining the process so conscientiously. If I ever come across an apple tree, I now know (or have the text to read and follow) how to make some mean apple sauce. I can tell, though, without a doubt, nothing I can buy off the shelves here would even get close.

In-reply-to » Over the past few days I've been playing around with the latest Chat-GPT, I think the model is called o1-preview. I've used it for various tasks from writing documentation, specs, shell scripts, to code (in Go).

@prologic@twtxt.net quoting a friend of mine, C# developer of 25 years now converted to DevOP:

“If you are not using AI everyday, you’re working too much”, and “completely worth it [referring to the use of ChatGPT], no question. Same work output, in less of my time. More breaks for me.”

It is not to rely on it 100%. It’s just a tool.

“You have reached a non-working number at UPS […]” says the recording. If it is a non-working number, it wouldn’t even ring, right? It should have said “You have reached an outgoing calls only number at UPS […]”, or better yet, route outgoing call only numbers to the one we should be calling instead. Problem resolved.

In-reply-to » @prologic I’m sure you can somehow install something that calculates blake2b on OpenBSD. But it’s not part of the base system as a standalone CLI tool, there only appear to be Perl modules for it. The other SHA tools do exist.

@xuu being contrarian isn’t a problem. Having different opinions force us to think, and make—hopefully—better decisions. We shouldn’t, mustn’t be contrarians, tough, while not offering a viable path forward that makes sense. What I am saying is that after that “so…” of yours needs to come a (or a set of) tangible recommendation(s). 😉

In-reply-to » @prologic I wanted to wait for things to settle down. It’s still unclear to me in which direction we’re going – and if that new/different stuff is even possible to implement in jenny. That said, I’ve been really busy with private stuff these last few days, I’ve lost track of most of what you’re discussing. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I agree. Yet, even with a proposal, it is hard to finally agree to something, because it is not about developing a unique, sole client, but agreeing on a set of “standards” to be used on a handful(?) of clients, make by different people.

Using Mastodon as a—albeit poorly—contrast, they set their road-map, and clients (even other server implementations!) that want to cater/communicate with it using similar APIs will have to adjust. No other way. That doesn’t apply to twtxt.

I think the incremental changes that have been made to twtxt happened kind of slowly for that reason.

@prologic@twtxt.net I would think we would want to make it as easy as possible. I would favour something that’s most widely and readily available, won’t you?

In-reply-to » It bothers me that some tools (namely bat) do not come with their own man pages. I think it goes against the Unix philosophy.

In Linux all man pages are under /usr/share/man/. Packages build, and install, their own man pages. Now bat is one of those odd ones that doesn’t.

@prologic@twtxt.net why sorry? For all we know @movq@www.uninformativ.de won the lottery, and is retiring in Tasmania. :-P

In-reply-to » Oh boy, I'm looking for trapezoidal (like ACME thread) screws and nuts in left hand form. The rods are already expensive, but nuts feel like a total ripoff. A hex nut for Tr20x2 being 30mm long and 30mm in "diameter" costs me 22 bucks! O_o Just a single one, made of regular steel. A meter of rod is 21€. The more common Tr20x4 hex nut is just 7€ and the rod 17€, but 4mm pitch is a bit much for a leadscrew for semi-precision work I reckon.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, fancy!

In-reply-to » @movq I'd love it if you write up a page for jenny 🙏 at https://twtxt.dev 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net how about following the same scheme as Yarn? I mean, I can match colours for visited/non-visited links that work nice, and provide, if that what you would like. What base colour would you like?

In-reply-to » (#5slaifq) @slashdot They must have spent such an ungodly amount in legal fees by now that I wonder if they'll come out of this in the green if they get to keep all the money from in-app purchases. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're doing it, but I think there's a reason why Epic Games is the only one fighting for app store neutrality.

@mckinley@twtxt.net they are fighting to make more money. Seeing it any other way is rather naïve.

In-reply-to » @bender I see it here hmm 🤔 Dis you accidentally mute your own Twt?

@prologic@twtxt.net yup, it was muted. I didn’t do it purposely, though. I truly don’t know how that happened. That beget the question, shouldn’t that be disallowed? That is, muting ourselves should not be possible. That same for following/blocking ourselves (if that breaks functionality).

In-reply-to » Yesterday's April weather offered nearly everything. Sun, rain, clouds, wind. Luckily, the rain wasn't too bad, we precautionally brought our rain jackets and took cover under some trees for 5-10 minutes. From then on, it alternated mostly between sunny and cloudy. Perfect conditions for photography.

Rightfully so, @xuu pod has it on cache: https://txt.sour.is/twt/v6eemvq. This pod (twtxt.net), knows nothing about it, so it seems.

I don’t see it on the client (Yarn), but as you can see it is on the raw feed. 🧐
