@robbinaer@robbinaer.info The domain move seems to have worked. :-)

@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.

so glad USB phone tethering exists. no way am I going to stumble through wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli to connect to coffeeshop wifi

attempting to build arm-none-eabi cross compiler from source. why have I never thought of this?

@frogotbits.com Well actually I don’t have that much to right down (I think) so a bujo might be overkill. Actually I’m good with Taskwarrior for now, I find it faster to manage tasks, but having a place where I can put tasks and thoughts on paper is nice. That’s why i’m gonna go with dash-plus as @lucidiot@tilde.town showed me :)

Listening to L’amour et la violence by Sébastien Tellier

@lucidiot@tilde.town @johanbove@johanbove.info Ok, I guess I’m pumped up to start bullet journaling again ! Thanks for the motivation !

Funny how not that long ago I made a remark to a friend who was keeping all his notes as txt files and now I am looking at doing exactly that. txt will probably be the one format that will be around for a very long time still.

@lucidiot@tilde.town Agreeing that BuJo kind of saved my mind too. It now takes me about three months to fill up 251 pages with tasks, notes and events.

German grammar is really tricky sometimes when it comes down to writing user-interface labels

Thanks a lot @lucidiot@tilde.town ! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind ^^

My 2014 Android Moto-X is finally out-of-order - the battery life is close to flat-lining and when it boots it gets stuck for a really long time in the optimizing apps mode. The case is cracked. Goodbye old friend.

As my hardware is getting older, I feel myself getting more attracted to retro-computing.

Donated 500ml of my own blood today at the Uniklinik in Düsseldorf to help others in need.

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

@frogor@www.frogorbits.com compared to the Iphone 7. XR might be more powerful but it’s clumsy to hold as big and heavy. Does not feel like a phone at all.

@kas@enotty.dk I’m tempted to split my file once per decade.

@johanbove@johanbove.info An iPhone XR as opposed to…?

@von@tilde.town yeah, I stopped posting to it eventually.

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

Considering: https://indieweb.org/Twitter#How_to_unfollow_everyone_but_still_read_their_tweets

Just added a WriteFreely instance to my server, so that I can create an “anonymous” blog and be angsty alone

@kas@enotty.dk twtxt.txt file splitting for achival is an interesting idea. Should not need to be yearly only. High volume feeds could split faster. Needs a spec though.

Listing to a Deezer playlist with a mix of Leftfield, Moderat, Amon Tobin, The Chemical Brothers, etc

Feeling really down lately, I have a lot to think, about a lot of stuff, and I’m not good at managing lots of stuff at the same time in my head, makes me want to implode

@kas@enotty.dk that said, I have no idea who bothers looking at the commented-out portions of others’ twtxt files. I only bother on rare occasions. Sometimes, there are interesting easter-eggy things to see.

@kas@enotty.dk doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I suppose I should do that one day too eventually, but I haven’t livetweeted enough Apple events to bloat my file to where I’d want to bother.

@johanbove@johanbove.info I mean, I’d keep this one, but also create another one just to let go thoughts. But yeah, the more I think about it the sillier it gets.

@von@tilde.town Why do you want to keep your twtxt.txt more private if I may ask so?

@mdosch@mdosch.de I thought it was a nice practice to share interesting twtxt-ers through a follow tweet

Added clients and articles sections and added domgoergen’s twtxt.txt to https://indieweb.org/twtxt

Going to see Terminator Dark Fate next tuesday - somewhat big expectations

New repository: aquilax/hash-identifier - Go package to identify different hashes

Added myself to the user list at https://github.com/mdom/we-are-twtxt

Requested my #hacktoberfest T-shirt and sticker pack! Happy I finally managed to participate and contribute this year.

@davebucklin@davebucklin.com Welcome to the IndieWeb! Thanks also for introducing me to #twtxt. Gophering this for sure.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Oh ok, well I’ll let you do your stuff then. Just, try not to break anything from the universe. Thanks

My Chrome uptime has been so long that I got a notification in it to restart it so it could update itself. Do I get some sort of award for this?

I have the feeling that this is going to be a looooong week

mincer ported to patchwerk. missed ya buddy

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Did it try to POST any pills?

I managed to properly configure ddclient for my subdomains. I’m glad I keep learning stuff about self-hosting :)

finally was cold enough to see my breath this morning

Happy birthday to every ~townies !

json2tsv: a JSON to TSV converter: https://www.codemadness.org/json2tsv.html

Just took a raw photo with Halide for the first time. It looks pretty awful compared to its companion JPEG because it’s horribly noisy. Not sure what magic turns awful raws into better-than-JPEG images. Probably lots of know-how.

finally hacked ijanet up to behave like the scheme REPL. very excited about this!

@mdosch@mdosch.de Apple refuses to ship GPLv3 software. bash has security bugs that Apple doesn’t want to backport. So they’ve switched default shells again, this time to zsh. (bash and the previous default, tcsh, still ship with the OS.)

thank you sean costello for teaching me how to make planetarium music

@von@tilde.town I moved my family to xmpp. For friends you might consider quicksy that works like WhatsApp but you can reach them via normal xmpp. Maybe you will also find some interesting groupchats there: https://search.jabber.network/rooms/1

The #xmpp newsletter 10/2019 is the first one which got translated to German: https://www.jabber.de/xmpp-newsletter-01-oktober-2019-fosdem-2020-modernisierung-von-xmpp-peer-networks/

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Yeah, jabber.org is in a bad shape. I have an old account there and ‘donated’ it to the conversations compliance tester. Was afraid when I saw the result.

should also note that I have been traveling a lot recently, so the heavy speakers do not travel with me. it is difficult to get re-acquainted with them for this reason.

postcard sized art is such a lovely scale for the visual medium. attempting to imagine the sound/temporal version of that

@von@tilde.town Good luck. I wrote poems twice for a girl. They were rather short, the girls name length in lines. And if you read the lines first character from bottom to top you got, … I guess that’s obvious. 😁

@von@tilde.town I am no dev and I have to use what the company uses.

@von@tilde.town I envy you for being able to use #Linux at work.

I used to write poems, but I stopped. Now I want to make a book filled with poems for my gf. I got 2 months, wish me luck

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.

I just pushed a fix for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/11. It seems to work but i have currently no test suite for txtnish, so please don’t hesitate to inform me if anything weird happens with mentions.

rx pixel editor looks seen on HN today looks interesting to me (and the sort of thing I’ve wanted to build), but the vulkan support seems like overkill. Also, my graphics cards drivers are broken on Alpine, so the program probably won’t run. trying anyways.

when composing, it can be hard to know what is good or crap, so you just have to power through it

added paragraph blocks and code blocks to weewiki HTML output. things look decent.

📚 Finished reading A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) by Barbara Oakley

This won’t get me a “Dear Mr. Cook” mention in an Apple event, but I thought it was pretty cool to be able to use my iPad in the kitchen without touching it. Voice Control is pretty good.

it is time to add a test suite for orgparse/weewiki.

statically generated my twtxt feed here: https://pbat.ch/wiki/twtxt.html. learning how to be social on this thing comes next.

gears seem to turn okay.

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.

@kas@enotty.dk yes, gosrc.io/xmpp is using a lot of fprintf and seems to not do escaping for % 😒

Basically it just compiles all chapters in the right order to html, rewrites the internal links and call lynx on the result

right now, it’s a three step process for me to tweet and upload. gotta make it just one.

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

added some more stuff to https://tilde.town/~mox/longer.html

Petrov Day is coming up this Thursday, September 26. What, if anything, is a suitable thing to do in his honor?

@kas@enotty.dk What do you mean by ‘it’? Twtxt? Txtnish? For my bot I actually wanted this behavior when filtering for mentions to also find @mdosch., @mdosch, or (@mdosch). Maybe I should limit it to ignore only one symbol after the search term.

@kas@enotty.dk It also looks mangled if I post it myself. So the problem seems to be on my side. sigh

@kas@enotty.dk I probably get a slightly-suboptimal lossily-compressed image. Or maybe I get the same image that I would have had I not bothered to give it a preset hint.

I’m not sure I like how homebrew will try to build a package if the download fails. I don’t need a second go binary, really.

@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I think my pulse would be high a lot of times if using iOS. I hear of so many problems from #xmpp devs fighting iOS and push. Not having a reliable chat app due to apples design constraints would really piss me off.

I tried cwebp -preset photo -o foo.webp foo.jpeg on a preview image and it was imperceptibly worse at the sizes I expected to show it. Then again, I don’t really care that you can’t read the nutrition labels on a jar in the background of the subject.

Migrated to Linux | https://wiki.xxiivv.com/computer

been messing around with the fonts in my terminal… ‘source code’ and ‘input’ are two i’m trying to decide between

This almost makes me want to bother changing to a 24-bit-color terminal as my main: https://github.com/sharkdp/pastel

Haven’t been here for a while. I guess I didn’t have lot to share nor to find

WebP is kind of disappointing. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, but because I tend to not really need it, even though I’d like to use it.

@ckipp@chronica.xyz @neauoire@wiki.xxiivv.com Glad you like my little experiment! I’m tweaking it daily, I’ll try to release the code properly once it’s clean enough.

Also, how easy would it be for me to change the URL, how long till it updates on twtxt.xyz?

Why is the timeline in reverse order? Meaning, I’d expect to see the most recent twtxts in the end of the output

Thanks @freemor! Excited to be here!

Thanks for the heads up @kas, I think I solved all the timestamp issues, I just need to find an easier way to do it
