Dream Setup
I love Daniel Bogan’s Uses This blog, even though it seems a bit Apple
heavy at times. People sharing what tools, both hardware and software,
that work for them is very helpful. A lot of things I never knew
about came from this or similar sites, or just people’s own home pages
copying Uses This’ questions and giving their own answers.

Hey @sorenpeter@darch.dk, I’m sorry to tell you, but the prev field in your feed’s headers is invalid. 😅
First, it doesn’t include the hash of the last twt in the archive. Second, and that’s probably more important, it forms an infinite loop: The prev field of your main feed specifies http://darch.dk/twtxt-archive.txt and that file then again specifies http://darch.dk/twtxt-archive.txt. Some clients might choke on this, mine for example. 😂 I’ll push a fix soon, though.
For reference, the prev field is described here: https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/archivefeedsextension.html

About death
I’m on a train again. This time I’m going home from Hudiksvall after a
grueling weekend.
I went from Malmö on Thursday morning and worked the entire day on
trains. I arrived in Ljusdal after close to nine hours. I checked in
at the only hotel in town again and, after a quick meal and glass of
wine, went over to a very sad dad with a bottle of Macallan. We didn’t
empty it but we sure tried. I got back to the hotel pretty late.
Wasn’t able to sleep much.
The day after it was my dad’s wife’s funeral. Met up at dad’s … ⌘ Read more

I completely forgot that DVD-RAM was a thing once. Found my old disks and they still work. 🤯 The data on them is from 2008, so they’re not that old. Still impressive.
The disks are two-sided. On the photo, that particular side of the disk on the left appears to be completely unused. 🤔
And then I read on Wikipedia that DVD-RAMs aren’t produced anymore at all today. Huh.
(I refuse to tag this as “retrocomputing”. Read/write DVDs that you can use just like a harddisk, thanks to UDF, are still “new and fancy” in my book. 😂)
