Useful writeup on git submodules http://blog.davidecoppola.com/2015/02/how-to-create-git-submodule-from-repository-subdirectory/

thought it might be interested to post some of the code used to produce one of my !breathing_cards: !waigel

hatching is a monochrome system traditionally used in woodcuts and engravings to denote tinctures (colors) [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatching_(heraldry)]] #1bit #links

it’s also easy to use scaling and wrap operations to transform a phasor signal into smaller/larger phasor signals, allowing for interesting rhythmic microcosms that stay in sync #halfbakedideas

I’m hoping to build a phasor-to-clock signal generator, which divides up a phasor into an arbitrary number of ticks. Using a global phasor as a global clock would allow for interesting polyrhythms, as well more flexible precision in sequencers. It’s also closer to how human-based conducting works. #halfbakedideas

sitelen sitelen is a style of non-linear writing that appears as hieroglyphic blocks, and can be used with toki pona [[https://jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/]] #links #tokipona

FWIW, I put up a quick blog last night about using twtxt command line https://eludom.github.io/blog/hello_twtxt/

@prologic@twtxt.net and the fact that I just used /bin/ed to fix spelling before pushing :-)

a 1-bit delay line? basically could be used to store audio-rate impulses, clocks, and triggers. the buffer would be a bitbuffer, so it would be a very memory-efficient. the notion of feedback some kind of feedback could be compelling too… #halfbakedideas #1bit

This morning I had this really weird notion of building a generative podcast complete with musical interludes and asemic speech using a speech synthesizer. It’d be interesting to have “interviews” with two distinct vocal characters. #halfbakedideas

@eli_oat@txt.eli.li happy to be an enabler :) I keep finding new uses for Janet as well! It has proven to be a remarkable extension language for !weewiki.

Hey @prologic@twtxt.net! still figuring out how to reply to people. I’m based in the New England in the US. What about you?

randoma11y is a color generator that generates two colors and scores them using WCAG system for accessibility: [[https://randoma11y.com/]] #links #color

my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas

Is it bad that I am using Urban Dictionary even when I need a regular dictionary?

all files !monolith written using !worgle have now been automatically HTMLized via !weewiki. the top-level browser can be found [[/proj/monolith/program][here]].

I feel like I am not using my time very well but I also feel too tired to be productive or even just present

A fragment of my !monolith program has been woven to a !weewiki from !worgle using !sqlite. Find it for now at [[/proj/monolith/wiki/][the monolith project page]].

Next on my watch list of horror films is US

An NES-inspired noise source. Basically, 1-bit noise using a linear-feedback shift register algorithm, as defined in the NES specs. #halfbakedideas

@prologic@prologic.github.io I will probably check out twtxt.net later. Can we use it without registering for an account?

I never thought I’d ever say this, but I am officially done with Csound. I’ve been using Csound since I was 16 years old, but now I feel like throwing my copy of the Csound book in the trash. Good riddance.

while eventually I hope to get all of literate org parts of !monolith posted online as a self contained !weewiki, I’ve decided to post little pieces as self-contained documents. here is a copy of !trigvm, the toy VM used to power a rhythmic computer-sequencer controlled entirely from the !monome_grid

this rhythm machine I’m working on for !monolith has finally given me an opportunity to crack open and use Hacker’s Delight. This morning I needed to find a way to count the number of active bits, and there’s a whole chapter dedicated to it :)

!txtvm, a text-based toy VM, used to run tiny domain-specific bytecode programs using only printable ascii characters. #halfbakedideas

a 6.5 bit fantasy computer, whose bytecode representation can be represented entirely as printable ascii characters. The first 6 contain standard data space, with the 7th bit used to represent one of 32 values. #halfbakedideas

built a little script for looking up IDs in twtxt tweets: !twtxt_search. Going to use it as a way to look up and reference specific tweets in my wiki.

weewiki uses a custom org markup parser written in ANSI C to render the HTML. No emacs needed! my hope is to introduce a user-defined callback that can process these to allow for custom meta-commands.

@hjertnes@hjertnes.social are you using emacs as twtxt client or something? does it render the org markup for you into links?

It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].

Wow! Inline Janet code does work. What a happy accident. Will use with the upmost restraint.

here is the script I use to convert my twtxt feed into a SQLite database: !twtxt_sqlite

I’m using a wrapper around txtnish called !say to make it easer to tweet stuff.

there are also things like using #hashtags, which could be a useful tool to coordinate with weewiki somehow.

all I have to do is hit “say”, write a few bits of things, and then hit ENTER. much easier than using txtnish directly.

Using nextCloud on a server which has different users for PHP and web: I fix the folder permissions, nextCloud unfixes them. Ah, the spirit of open source.

Honestly never realized before Beakerbrowser that peer-to-peer could be used to share markdown, JavaScript and html files.

@kas@enotty.dk Using txtnish I am also getting a 403 on https://buckket.org/twtxt.txt

Tired: Using the ffmpeg library; Wired: Creating an ffmpeg subprocess and piping data through it

Using lsyncd to sync my twttxt file between my web server and gopher server roots

Reactivated my virtual NextStep box running on the Previous emulator, version 1.6, on Windows 10, using SLIRP networking

First post to my twtxt feed, hope to keep using it

building a http server into weewiki has been more useful than I initially expected

Finally creating PHP programs using Composer and Twig templates

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.

@kas@enotty.dk [re: gopher client] If you happen to be on Windows, then Gopher Browser for Windows by Matt Owen is pretty nice, otherwise I use Lynx indeed for gopher.

Anyone still using Skype actually? Seems like the service completely lost to WhatsApp.

@kas@enotty.dk Good stuff kas++ What command or script did you use to split by year?

@kas@enotty.dk The IndieWeb.org twtxt article is only a stub - me copy-pasting content from other sites - could use some more sections - @t himself found it an interesting concept

gameboy color speaker replaced using ds lite speaker. sounds quieter than I expected. but better than no sound at all. this, combined with the new case I got for it, makes it almost feel like a brand new device :)

even though I have these nice hs7 studio monitors on my desk right now, most of my monitoring has been done using my minirig mini. There is just something so irresistable about writing music for something so cute and tiny.

planck keyboard feels 98% natural to me now. I’m using stiff tactile grey cherry switches on them, which feel great to me, but my fingers need to build up strength for long-term use.

Maybe it’s just me getting older, but there is something very satisfying about seeing big chunky text on screen. Currently using an Atari font on my computer. Once your eyes get used to it, it’s actually quite lovely.

I could see me using this. Just need to figure out the best workflow for making ‘tweets’.

@ckipp@chronica.xyz - you’re absolutely right! using the official client now, really misunderstood timestamps yet again.

/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz About images, sure, I understand it’s useless for CLI-only use. But if we added our own format, maybe something like Markdown

Image

/meta Great job on the pagination! Now I’m thinking about forking this and trying to see if I can use it as a personal nanoblog/wiki…

@ Thanks! Sure, it could be useful, it won’t be obvious for everyone to look at their browser console to understand the issue.

not sure if anyone still uses twtxt. but I am around here somewhere :P

Still using Firefox? Try a rusty nail in your eye instead.

Something you gotta remember about the alt-right is that they’re a temporary alliance of warring groups with conflicting ideologies, most of which are planning on killing all the others & are putting it off in favor of killing the rest of us first.
