I’m so sorry to all twtxters for all the changes that my twtxt file is getting
Note to self, don’t use =NOW() on gsheet if I just need a timestamp, it changes automatically :/
Fellow twtxters, I wrote https://github.com/LuRsT/twtxt_on_heroku to help out people use twtxt without the need to have a server
I loved coding ToH, I want to write more database-less websites/services
@tux0r@twtxt.rosaelefanten.org @gbmor@gbmor.dev So many options to increase the fail counter?
I genuinely wonder how many times I’ll try and fail to host my own VCS yet. The counter is at 3 or 4 now.

Cut a 228-column line down to a mere 185. Progress!
Finally wrote a small shell script to make posting easier though. Now I can push from pretty much anywhere that has my SSH key.
we did it. the new audio board is in FM and is now on air. so much led up to this. https://wuvt.vt.edu
/lab Feels good to add long overdue features to my text editor. It’s almost useful now ;)
Oh, right. If my main computer is tethered to my phone’s LTE connection, it’s not going to be accessible from my tablet, will it? Darn.
Can one use nerd tools to live-blog an internet outage (without tethering)? Let’s find out.

Found out that Terminal will switch from light to dark themes if background color is unset. One catch: “background color” includes transparency and blur settings.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net To whom are you referring?
@leo@www.gkbrk.com - I guess I need to follow before a mention is properly expanded?
Hooked up TouchOSC on my iPad to Jorvik. First step in external control.
@dgold@dgold.eu I also get forwarded to https://reddit-stream.com/ when I open twtxt.xyz as https://twtxt.xyz (also the cert is not valid).
I made a lot of external mentions so #hallway is getting some code to filter them out :P
@mox@tilde.town Sorry had no time yesterday and today I’m also busy but maybe I find the time to dig in my configs.
@mox@tilde.town I can show you my setup for volume, brightness and screenshots when I am back home. I only use the suspend key in gdm3 where it works out of the box. I have a shortcut for calling ‘gdmflexiserver’ when I’m leaving the computer as my wife can’t log in to her account otherwise.
@mdosch@mdosch.de still trying to sort some things out with that setup tho (adjusting brightness, volume, suspending, etc) so it might be a lil while until i’m fully moved over
@mox@tilde.town I am also using #i3 for some month and really like it. Also I switched to TUI/CLI programs for some tasks: https://blog.mdosch.de/2019/06/06/tui-programme/ (#German). It’s a lot more efficient when you don’t have to change between keyboard and mouse/touchpad so often.
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Also yes, a simple string search would be fine. I’m not JS-savvy enough to be sure, but I guess it would work a bit like tags?
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Ok, I figured it out, sorry :) I entered my local time manually and forgot it’s supposed to be UTC, so my posts were in the future.
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz I’m trying to understand where my timestamp issue comes from, but I have no clue. My two latest posts were edited manually, yet the timestamp syntax seems right?
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Regarding potential new features, maybe some kind of search box? And is there a way to embed images or other media?
/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…
@coma@tilde.town welcome to twtxt!
I totally prefer #XMPP over #IRC. I like it being federated and with #Conversations you have a good mobile client, also you don’t need to setup a bouncer.
/test Is it possible to just create channels on the fly? How about tags? #test
@kas@enotty.dk @mdosch@mdosch.de He ought to switch to one-line fortunes if he can. I don’t want to have to wait a day to get the punch line to a joke.
@kas@enotty.dk The operator changed it to daily. 😃
/meta I really like how this place looks. Is there any plan for some kind of pagination to browse older posts?
glad to be home after a long shift
cool working now I just have to figure out how to sync local file with the github hosted version
@ Thanks! Sure, it could be useful, it won’t be obvious for everyone to look at their browser console to understand the issue.

Dear lazytwtxt, I just saw someone say hi to a few new people. How can I check the accounts of these new-to-me people so I can figure out whether to add them to my own following list? Their URLs are snipped out in the main client (for good reason).
Looking for a reason to use Firefox more when developing sites? on macOS it’s the browser that smashes into the least horizontal space. Good if you like having a browser window running all the time. Doubly good if you like running it in Split View.

That looks like my local Apple Store. I wonder how similar the normal ones are to each other.
Ever wanted to walk through your own Barbie house? Now you can. Or should be able to.
iOS and macOS get to Windows Vista levels of voice recognition. Finally.
Machine learning to analyze podcast contents. Interesting.
“quiet operation” is something people have to ask for on a fancy monitor?
PCI expansion, back to the Mac
Siri talk to me all day about chemistry plzzzzzzz
Only 85% on iOS 12? That’s not as high as it used to be, is it?
Wonder what the Noise complication does to battery life.
But will my Headspace thingo be able to add the mindful minutes back to my iPhone?
I’d run Oceanhorn 2 on my iMac. Installing a kext for my Switch Pro Controller isn’t something I want to do ever again, though.

@kas@enotty.dk, finally I found the time to look at these links. All these fucking websites are awesome. :D
Tempted to make a “dark motherfucking website” also-satire that has the minimal amount of @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) to keep people from blowing out their retinas when viewing the site at night.
@mdosch@mdosch.de I’ve tried to play games on my phone and iPad but none of the games I’ve ever played on them seem to stick. I’ve had fun — briefly — with Threes and FTL and Really Bad Chess and so forth, but I don’t seem to stick with any one game on my iOS gizmos like I have with, say, FTL-on-Steam, much less TF2 or Dota 2.
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I am strongly refusing to use Apple products but for different reasons. But I wouldn’t consider anything except a computer or a console appropriate for gaming. Pads and phones might be for casual games but not for gaming.
Anyone who says that iPads are bad for gaming is an ignoramus and/or a liar. I beat Picross S’s P060 and I wouldn’t have been able to finish it if I hadn’t been able to take pictures of the TV with my iPad to be able to easily back out of hypohetical block arrangements that turned out to be wrong.
all my friends are in agony over the Game of Thrones series end and all I can do to try and understand is remember how utterly confused I was by the nondeominational church at the end of LOST
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Wow, that’s a pretty nice way to see it :) Also mine being Mastodon, that can explains a bit

If this is due to the xmpp wttr.in bot I shared here you should fix your certs.
Today I got a lot of s2s errors on my #xmpp server because of servers with invalid certs are trying to connect.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net You can also send your location to xmpp:wttr@mdosch.de using #xmpp

@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org “best viewed in a rusty nail” just sounds weird to me, though.
Took a long walk earlier today and now I want to take a short nap.

Today I learned that onions are a sulfur-rich food. You can experience this yourself if you caramelize down roughly seven onions and eat half the batch in one sitting. Try not to do this if you’re going to be around people with functioning noses.

I need to find OpenBSD and C-developers in my area. I feel lonely and stuck way too often. And I feel annoyed by every event here being targeted at linux beginner folks.

The rasterman filter is the only one in netfilters that tries to cache all of stdin, & I don’t know enough perl to fix it.
One can construct a bingo sheet to group together anybody. A bingo sheet constructed to group together people who don’t act or think similarly will not reliably predict those people’s thoughts or actions.
Hot take: gopher is not a failed attempt to invent the WWW, but its own crystallization of a coherent philosophy – to present jump links between text files, without all the other bollocks. That makes it as valuable today as it was 25 years ago.

Something being ‘natural’ might make fixing it more difficult, but it is not an excuse not to fix it. If inequity & injustice are ‘natural’ – i.e., happen without conspiracy – that just makes it more important to fight them.
