Therapist: “Do you harm yourself in any way?”, Me: “I eat a lot of sweets..?”

@benk@kwiecien.us I haven’t actually looked at the original twtxt client, which means the following is ill-conceived speculation, but I believe that it only fetched feeds when you “refreshed”, with a minimum time between feed fetches. Sure, you’ll fetch feed unnecessarily now and then, but not nearly as often as polling every 5 minutes ;)

The twtxt aggregation on Antenna has exploded lately :D

I got a new door today! Everyone in the home owner association are getting the 30-year-old doors replaced :)

Though twtxt registries never really took off gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/twtxt.txt presents the last 7 days of twts known by Antenna in the registry format. It’s intended to be a help in discovering twt feeds in geminispace (there aren’t very many yet).

@benk@kwiecien.us I meant literally a few minutes 😄 @prologic@twtxt.net told me he’d just implemented it. Btw, which twtxt client are you using now, Ben?

Made a bunch of pretty much invisible changes to my twtxt.txt file 😋 Pretty much just added an avatar and description and stuff.

@benk@kwiecien.us https://yarn.social/ has support for fetching feeds over gemini since a few minutes back! Not serving them there that I know of, but that’s just a matter of pointing your gemini server to the twtxt.txt file.

I should use twtxt more. I actually like it better than fedi, in general.

@benk@kwiecien.us Hello, benk! 😃

Ugh. Trying to turn my sleeping cycle back to normal. I feel jet lagged af.

“Just one more thing” has probably stolen two hours of my day. All good things, though!

I was going to eat some chocolate, but apparently I ate all of it last night 😢 It seemed like such a good idea at the time!

It’s really been a good weekend. I hope that speaks well for the week to come!

Someone in #twtxt on libera.chat asked a question and pinged everyone, and then left. The question was “is twtxt compatible with mastodon?” The answer is no. It isn’t.

I know I’ve mentioned this in various social media, but I just want to reiterate how much internet reality drama means to me. It’s insanely entertaining.

I ate too much sweets again… Oh well.

Wohoo! My budget expenses for November are balanced! Had €100 left even, and that goes straight into savings.

Chocolate and skumtomtar (literally “foam santas”, a marshmallow-like candy) are awesome. They’re even better with tea. And that combo becomes at least twice as good after a run, shower, and shave. True story.

@benk@kwiecien.us Ubuntu is being similarly mean to me. “Can’t upgrade X because Y depends on older version. Can’t update Y because there’s a dependency problem”. I’m pretty sure the dependency problem would be solved with an upgrade, but I can’t perform one…

Looking forward to a new smolZINE tomorrow!

Had a great day today. Fun at work, went for a long walk and did my grocery shopping, have set a dough for tomorrow’s breakfast. And finished writing stuff that I’ve longed to do.

The best part of Pokémon Go is hatching eggs. I just wish I could queue up eggs for the incubators so I didn’t have to check my phone every now and again. Actually, I wish there was a game where you just hatched eggs.

Meatballs! 🦖 MEATBALLS!

Thinking about posting something technical again, but there’s so much technical talk in geminispace already.

Sometimes it’s hard to prioritize projects. Should I do the most important first? The most fun? Is it worth trudging through the less interesting part of project A just to see it finished?

@compudanzas@compudanzas.net I have no idea what that means, but it sounds exciting!

There’s a lot of chatter about what to do with the work on the gemini spec. Hopefully we’ll have a solution of some kind in place soon.

As a side effect of my post on boats I’ve now reserved a book about Vasa at the library, in order to clarify and correct the wikipedia article on it 😂

@fab@foobucket.xyz No need to apologize 🙂️ Speaking of being active I’ve gotten absolutely nothing done on my twtxt project this week. I think I need to rethink a bit to find a fun next step.

@fab@foobucket.xyz Wassup? 😄️

It’s Tuesday, but somehow I have a Thursday kind of feeling… Whatever. I’m following an online auction for a couple of PDAs. The starting price is more than I’d be willing to pay, but there isn’t a single bidder yet. I hope that last, because the seller will put the ad out for a lower price if it does!

It appears I’ve managed to fix the server! Pats self on the back Yay, me 😊️

There’s been a lingering error on the server I botched the OS update on last Thursday. I had a hunch about the cause, and it turns out I was correct! Hopefully not too complicated to fix either 😊️

It’s FRIDAAAAY! Wohoo! I’m in an unusually good mood today, and work is a lot more rewarding than I’d expected. Awesomeness.

@fab@foobucket.xyz I’ve noticed that podman isn’t (or at least wasn’t a year or so ago when I checked) available on Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS. I didn’t know Alpine is available for the RPi. Is it good?

New plan! 1) Running in the rain, 2) researching the social lives of honey bees. Do they have night clubs? Let’s find out!

Slow day today… What’s everyone up to?

I’m working on a twtxt thing that I think (or at least hope) that some people in the tildeverse will find useful. Fingers crossed!

I’m getting back into running after a couple of weeks downtime. My left knee is not what it used to be, and I’ve decided to ease back into it. Mentally I’ve accepted that I’ll probably never run 10km in 37:42 again, but emotionally I fear getting slower… As if a slight decline, while saving myself from injuries, would be a defeat.

I’m quite happy that we have a few twtxt files being pushed to Antenna 😊️ It’s a nice little community.

@fab@foobucket.xyz Do it! 😄️ It’s my favourite one, too. The svg file contains a bunch of variants in various state of completion and weirdly composed. It took a few attempts before I felt that I got it just right.

@benk@kwiecien.us I detail the config here, actually: gemini://warmedal.se/~bjorn/posts/mount-your-tilde.gmi

@fab@foobucket.xyz Deciding what to write about is always an issue for me too… Sometimes I feel like all I do is announce updates to my different software stuff.

@benk@kwiecien.us I’ve mounted my server with autofs+sshfs to ~/Remotes/warmedal.se, which means my gemlog is actually in my home folder 😄️

@benk@kwiecien.us Buffy the Vampire Slayer 😄️ I’m at season 6 now, and when I’m done I guess I’ll start binging Angel.

It’s about time I do some programming again… been a while now. I’ve been too busy with TV series lately.

@benk@kwiecien.us I’ve logged in to Monad now (iOS XMPP client) but I’ve gotta be honest: I don’t know if I’ve created a user in the app or logged in to tilde.team 🤔 Do you happen to know how I join a group? And which groups do you recommend?

I never seem to run out of projects to do. Some slosh around as mere ideas until I decide not to do them for whatever reason, but even so there’s enough to go around and then some.

@khuxkm@tilde.team Congratulations! That’s great news.
