@bender@twtxt.net I know I know! I donât know why I ever signed up and used it and still continue to pay for the silly thing. Twtxt/Yarn is so much better in every way đ€Ł
@prologic@twtxt.net I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and itâs live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.
If I feel like it, I do. If not, I donât. Not social, not intended for anyone to see them. I am enjoying it!

@bender@twtxt.net I just babble on Twtxt đ€Ł I honestly find that I donât realy have the time nor the energy to âblogâ in full really, I rarely do đą
@movq@www.uninformativ.de why Gopher to babble, and not just HTTP? I mean, may as well just write plain text files on your machine, and leave them there, right?
Gopher and Mastodon are two completely different things. Thatâs where my confusion comes from.
Iâm now going to delete 7,336 old photos (previews, resized web versions and index.htmls) and reclaim 3.3 GiB disk space on my laptop.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Me too đ â Speaking of which i know youâve lost a bit of âmojoâ or âenergyâ (so have i of late), rest assured, I want to keep the status quo here with what weâve built, keep it simple and change very little. What weâve built has worked very well for 5+ years and we have at least 3 very strong clients (maybe 4 or 5?).
@prologic@twtxt.net do you remember Hamachi? Tailscale/Headscale is Hamachi on steroids. They are used primarily for creating a VPN among all your devices so they can talk to one another as if they were on the same LAN, even when theyâre not. That was, mostly, my WireGuard usage.
I still have WireGuard runningâbecause it is so lite that it doesnât matterâto use as regular VPN, but Headscale keeps all my devices connected forming their own âmini-Internetâ 100% of the time.
On my blog: Toots 𩣠from 06/09 to 06/13 https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2025/06/13/week.html #linkdump #socialmedia #quotes #week
@bender@twtxt.net Whatâs awesome about it btw? I use WireGuard pretty heavily here. And my entire family also use it to keep a VPN connection back to our home network

Starting now!
@thecanine@twtxt.net ⊠all these stupid, pointless âappsâ are stuff that I eventually have to remove from family devices ⊠Sigh.
@bender@twtxt.net Both Gopher and Mastodon are a way for me to âbabbleâ. đ I basically shut down Gopher in favor of Mastodon/Fedi last year. But the Fediverse doesnât really work for me. Itâs too focused on people (I prefer topics) and I dislike the addictive nature of likes and boosts (Iâm not disciplined enough to ignore them). Self-hosting some Fedi thing is also out of the question (the minimalistic daemons donât really support following hashtags, which is a must-have for me).
Iâll probably keep reading Fedi stuff, I just wonât post that much, I think.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de how does Gopher relates to Mastodon? Are you getting off the Fedi completely?
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, itâs difficult, you often donât get what youâd expect. They also make heavy use of 3rd party libraries. IIUC, for random numbers, they refer to this library. Iâve read many times that the Rust stdlib is intentionally minimalistic (to make it easier to maintain and port and all that).
Iâm struggling with this, using 3rd party libs for so many things isnât really my cup of tea. Iâll probably make my own tiny little âstandard libraryâ. Itâs silly, but I donât see any other options. đ€·
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I had to look it up! âIs decaf coffee real coffee?â
âYes, decaf coffee is real coffee. Itâs made from the same coffee beans as regular coffee, but the caffeine content is significantly reduced through a decaffeination process. This process involves removing 97% or more of the caffeine, leaving behind the coffeeâs flavors and aromas.â
OK then! đ
Great article from Tailscale about how security policies weâve often seen in many large complex organizations that we all love to hate donât actually provide the security that we assumed.
@quark@ferengi.one Ta. Hmm, whatâs wrong with the blue text color? Is it too dark on the black background for you? :-?
Normal links are blue while images are teal. I thought I differentiate the two if I easily can. The underline of URLs comes from my terminal and is not ttâs fault.
Configuring colors is in the todo list. But of course, providing a sane default is definitely something Iâd like to have.
Lately (since there are AI summaries at the top), each time I Google for the answer to a question, the AI summary has at least a part of the answer wrong. It makes up laws that do not exist, books that were never published - in sum, well written sentences that make linguistic sense, but with made up content.
Let me repeat: each time. Maybe I only search for hard stuff, or fringe stuff, or this some other explanation - but seriously, itâs hard to understand how isnât Google ashamed of its AI overviews⊠or not sued under some regulation regarding fake news.
PS: yes, I know, my fault for using Google as a search engine.
@prologic@twtxt.net will do. No worries, not a show stopper. I will suggest that the muted numbered list not be sorted, but latest muted first. That way we have a better idea. Maybe adding timestamps to those too? Just a thought.
@bender@twtxt.net remind me to look into this a bit later because Iâm starting to suspect thereâs a weird behavior in the system đ§
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Iâm glad to hear that you donât find it too terrible. :-) There are still heaps of bugs to fix and things to improve. Bucketloads of them.
Of Pointlessware and CEOs
Had a moment, to check up on some of the companies, I stopped following, get to The Browser Company and see their newest product - itâs just Chrome, with an AI chat window pop-up and thatâs it. Something Canary Chrome, come with already.
I see Theo from T3.gg, making fun of it on YouTube and promoting âhisâ product - an AI chat app, where you can choose from multiple models, by all the popular AI companies. Something I already have a worse version of, at work and I donât even use it.
Thereâs also an interview, about the future of virtual keyboards, surely this is at least actually a real thing and not more pointless horse shit. I check the website of the keyboard SDK, and itâs around 20 identical apps, that just copy the same keyboard SDK/api and slap chatgpt features on top - in the App Store, these are surrounded by chatgpt clones, that just feed the users prompts, into the real thing and put ads, next to the answers.
âLater in the evening, posting on X, #Macron said: âIâm banning #socialmedia for #children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Letâs do it.â
French authorities are already progressing with efforts to force certain social media sites â including X, Reddit, Bluesky and #Mastodon â to introduce age verification, by classifying them as pornographic websites.
French measures forcing porn sites to verify their usersâ ages came into effect on June 7, prompting the worldâs largest porn website, Pornhub, to stop operating in France. Demand for virtual private network services, which allow users to trick websites into thinking they are in a different location, immediately surged.â
