[47°09′46″S, 126°43′40″W] Automatic systems disengaged due to heavy rain
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!
What to watch tonight? “Squid Game” completed. “Seinfeld” just made it in a couple of days ago, maybe I will reminisce old memories and watch it. I first watched it in 1995-ish.
@prologic@twtxt.net I changed base URL (like, completely), but I am still honouring the old one, pointing it to the new one with 301. Maybe that’s what’s happening with the older posts. I could drop out the 301 completely, but that will break following, right?
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk LOL, thanks! I have always been a fan of the Ferengi, and Quark, in particular. I think only Rom gets closer to him.
@quark@twtxt.netbros.com Answering to myself: it doesn’t. @movq@www.uninformativ.de, would that be something that it could be added?
@prologic@twtxt.net This is what I have been trying to tell you. The issue doesn’t occurr on https://tt.vltra.plus (which is now down), nor did it show on my own Yarn pod (now down too). It is only happening on https://twtxt.net.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Perfect! Setting the display_filter did the trick. I have come across that SE yesterday while looking for answers, but I wanted to make sure there was nothing else I was missing to notice. Thanks! @quark@twtxt.netbros.com (#spngeda) Hmm, that’s mostly an issue of how mutt displays the Date header. The index should already display local time, only the pager shows the raw header: https://movq.de/v/8c92fff081/s.png To be honest, I’d like to keep it that way (i.e., Date stores the original stamp as it occured in the twtxt feed). To convince mutt to show local time here, you’d probably have to use display_filter: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/516101
@movq@www.uninformativ.de, what will I need to do so that the timestamp for twts reflects local time. Right now it is UTC. Can it be done, or is that something from the twtxt spec?
@quark@twtxt.netbros.com I have removed the cron job, and added jenny -f to the small script that starts mutt with the .muttrc-jenny file. That way when I open, it refresh the feed before. Let’s see how it goes.
Seeing repeated twts again. Only thing I am doing different is running jenny every 5 minutes on a cron job. I really don’t know what to think.

Trying to troubleshoot twtxt. On twtxt.net, discovery shows my follows linked to https://twtxt.netbros.com/, which is nothing (not even an index.html running there), while on arrakis.netbros.com shows my follows linked to https://twtxt.netbros.com/twtxt.txt (using yarns links too) which is right.
I need someone with a nice, and clean twtxt.txt feed. One that doesn’t include much–if any–images, and in which twts have more content. Just looking to see how formatting is handled in jenny and how to tweak it to my liking.
I might have figure out what was causing duplicated entries here. I think running jenny -f while mutt is open was causing it. I have disabled the cron job, and it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. Let’s see how accurate my theory is. 😂
Furthermore, everyone has a limit and you have to understand yours. Too much suffering won’t make you stronger, it will actually break you.
