@kiwu@twtxt.net there, there. Hoping it gets better or… less rough!

@thecanine@twtxt.net Cool! Let’s hope they truly keep their word.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t have phrased it any better than @bender@twtxt.net. :-)

Twice or three times the money as before sounds a bit suspicious to me. Of course, I could be wrong, but I always was under the impression, that your last jobs weren’t all that badly salaried. If the new offer is really paid this highly, it might be a shit job. For me, money isn’t everything, I’d rather opt for a lower income where the job is fun than hating to go to work every day. But if the new job ticks all boxes, go for it. :-)

Also: Consult your pillow, don’t rush it.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 Spoken like someone that’s done this before 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net you take a look at it, see if it is a good fit, ask the headhunter more details about it, and the company they represent for this hire, bring the results clearly, simply stated, but without missing any information to your CFO (AKA wife), and then arrive at a decision as a family.

Don’t let the temptation of more compensation be the driving factor.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Not bad. 🥳 Fingers crossed that they actually do it. 🤞

@arne@uplegger.eu @lukas@lukasthiel.de In fact, Yarn.social’s yarnd client implementation actually uses (or did, still kinda does today) PicoCSS 🤟 It was/is a good CSS library! 👍

@lukas@lukasthiel.de Immer her mit den Links und Bildschirmfotos.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Comgrats! 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, all eggs in one basket has never been a sensible approach. Sadly, even without that, this outage is affecting many due to the interconnected nature of services these days.

@prologic@twtxt.net Mastocoooooooon!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Oh! you like? 👍 Haha 😆

the new logo is cute

Hey @ocdtrekkie@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

Habe mich am Wochenende nach Empfehlung von @arne@uplegger.eu an https://picocss.com versucht und bin restlos begeistert. Schön schlank, schnell und modern! In Zukunft werden sicherlich noch einige Projekte mit Pico folgen.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL 😂

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Glad you like them! :-) Those colorful roof shingles are absolutely stunning. The golden building has quite a few folds in the facade skin, from the other sides a bit more. Check out this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Rems_in_Schw%C3%A4bisch_Gm%C3%BCnd.jpg Luckily, there weren’t this many people around today. :-)

Don’t think this is the norm, though, most stuff here is also much more modern. There are not a whole lot of historic buildings left. And if there are, they’re not necessarily kept in good shape. But some are. So, don’t be fooled by my biased preselection of typically photographing the nicer ones.

The people photos are not for the internet. ;-) But I get your point, the reason why I ended up in that town is irrelevant and misleading, I should have introduced it differently. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, 31 is truly a telling! Interesting facade on that building on 10! And that roof on 51, oh my! The golden Jesus and tower on 7 are something else too.

I miss Europe like hell, mate! A lot of things around here are younger than me. I don’t feel history, I am history. 😅

On “family day”, I was expecting to see more pictures with people in it. All lovely, nevertheless. Thanks, as always, for the mini-vacation! 🙈

@bender@twtxt.net I knew it was supposed to be a lowercase “t”, but it reminded me of a tiny umbrella.

@prologic@twtxt.net honestly, I though it was a nail at first. Like this, but bent. LOL.

@bender@twtxt.net The “t” 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net this one? https://twtxt.dev/assets/img/twtxt-logo.svg Other than being “circlish” I don’t see any relationship. 😅

@quark@ferengi.one It’s very nice mate 😅 I didn’t know you were this good at CSS 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net That’s actually kind of what I was going for, just with a stylized “t” and some blue/purple/red shades 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I prefer something like the logo on https://twtxt.dev, for example, instead. But hey, it is your pod, have fun!

@prologic@twtxt.net is it Hugo driven, yes. The Frankenstein’s monster CSS is mostly all mine, as evidenced by its shoddiness. 😅

What I wanna know at this point @bender@twtxt.net is this; What is this “Notes” thing. Is it just a uugo static site you maintain or something else? 🤔 Did you write all the CSS yourself? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net that’s also what Yarn.social’s logo is, and just happens to be the yarnd default. Hmmm figured times for a change? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is brilliant! 🤣

The gold saga on @quark@ferengi.one’s thoughts continues with https://netbros.com/1750974122. That’s without any doubt the most beautiful 404 page I’ve ever come across in my entire life. What an overall master piece of art. Well done, mate! <3

https://netbros.com/some-rubbish-just-to-see-the-new-birds-on-the-404-page

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I also prefer the old one with the ball of string. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I now remember having similar problems back then. I’m pretty sure I typically consulted the Qt C++ documentation and only very rarely looked at the Python one. It was easy enough to translate the C++ code to Python.

Yeah, the GIL can be problematic at times. I’m glad it wasn’t an issue for my application.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hm, same startup delay. (Go is not an option for me anyway.)

It’s hard to tell why all this is so slow. Maybe in this particular case it has something to do with fonts: strace shows the program loading the fontconfig configs several times, and that takes up a bulk of the startup time. 🤔 (Qt6 or Java don’t do that, but they’re still slow to start up – for other reasons, apparently.)

To be fair, it’s “just” the initial program startup (with warm I/O caches). Once it’s running, it’s fine. All toolkits I’ve tried are. But I don’t want to accept such delays, not in the year 2025. 😅 Imagine every terminal window needing half a second to appear on the screen … nah, man.

@bender@twtxt.net I don’t think so ? 🧐😂🤦‍♂️

Sorry better verison

New beginnings, new horizons. New pod logo 🤟

LOL 😂 I think mastodon.social is broken 😞

@therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net It works! 🤣 Now I’m quite sure we haven’t got threads working yet 🤔

Truly amazing and I agree with @quark@ferengi.one, more people need to know about Thomas Dambo’s wooden trolls: https://netbros.com/1750512577/ So beautiful! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the English dub is fairly good. Will watch!

@quark@ferengi.one Yes, keep em coming. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Just start off the experiment now and see how far you get. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de unison seems pretty fast for me, and quite nice looking on my macOS desktop. It’s bsed on GLFW, but it seems to work quite well 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 😆

GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word

This is total bullshit 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net no, I really meant small. I only have a handful of GiBs left of storage. If you can wait until mid-December, then no probleml. Right now it is kind of running on fumes. For testing, and to do not disturb anyone timelines, I recommend you run a small test instance. Running GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word.

@bender@twtxt.net It’s good enough ti iron out any bugs 🐛 Can I haz an account? 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net ah, yes, one of those, yes. Too small for testing though. 😅

Hey @mastodon@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

@bender@twtxt.net Not even a GotoSocial server? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net not Mastodon, nope.

@bender@twtxt.net You don’t run one anymore do you? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net the worse case scenario is your account gets blocked/banned. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Bit big of a server no? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net just create an account on mastodon.social, wouldn’t that work?

Someone, on the Bridge, this is meant to have sent @manton@bridge.twtxt.net a “Follow Request” via Activity Pub hmmm 🧐

Test (_did I fix this shit™-)?

Hey @manton@bridge.twtxt.net 👋 Why yes I believe I did!

Anyone run a Mastodon serve rI can have an account on to help test the Twtxt <-> Activity Pub bridge? 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net I need another side that I can unblame 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net we are not going to get far by blaming the other side. 😅😂

I think because it still inserted the wrong alias in my following list:

# follow = manton@bridge.twtxt.net https://bridge.twtxt.net/twtxt/remote/d428c49928a4a0d1.txt

Testing 1 2 3 @manton@twtxt.net

Test @-mentioning@twtxt.net an AP actor via the Bridge. Hey @manton@twtxt.net 👋

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I’m building (bidirectional) simply requires three things:

1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
   
2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (doesn’t matter where or how)
   
3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.
   

I’m still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL, that one was too good to pass, right? I am glad you are enjoying my little notes in a bottle!

Man, @quark@ferengi.one has an absolute gold mine. Having dealt again with different clocks and all sorts of strange time things at work today, this made my day! https://netbros.com/1755172401/ :‘-D

@bender@twtxt.net Hahahahahaahaaa, you’re right, it can’t be anything else! :‘-D Must have been one of these manmade objects. Let’s hope they will become a full member of the Grant Wishes Council soon. In any case, I will keep trying.

@prologic@twtxt.net oh dear god. Keep us posted! 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Twtxt <-> ActivityPub (2nd time’s the charm? 🤣)

@prologic@twtxt.net how could we ignore it?! Twtxt bridge? Of what kind? Say more! :-P

Testing new design, architecture and implementation of a Twtxt bridge I’m working on…

verification-token: ee9bc4da3356f4990671

Please ignore.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org then it was, most likely, space debris—which, sadly, make up for 98% of all space anomalies these days. And thought they have applied to the Grant Wishes Council, they are yet to be approved. Keep playing, though. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I wished my mate would see it, too. But he turned his head a second too late. :-(

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I hope you were prepared to cram those wishes in 3 seconds. I am always prepared for that eventuality. You don’t have to mutter a word, nor clearly think much about it—that is, you don’t need to think your wish(es) word-by-word. As long as you stay within the wish(es) main goal(s), you should be fine, and it/they shall be granted, of course.

@kiwu@twtxt.net is it almost over, or just got closer to the next one? 🧩

@kiwu@twtxt.net doing awesome, how about ya? We are having some coolish days, which are super rare, so I am enjoying them plenty!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, it’s been some days here, too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, you were spot on! It took me a bit to figure this out on my own. I’m actually very surprised to have gotten this wrong. Oh well.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I noticed that too. I haven’t double-checked my code, though. Maybe it has something to do with selecting the correct URL? I mean, these feeds don’t have any # url = fields, so maybe that’s it?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ah, there it is. 😃 Never gets old. 👍

@arne@uplegger.eu … I still haven’t watched that show. 🤦

@prologic@twtxt.net And none of them use Yarn-style threading. I don’t think they’re aware of us, they’re probably using plain twtxt. Other than one hit by @threatcat@tilde.club a few days ago, I’ve seen no traffic from them. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It looks like something from “Twin Peaks” 🌲

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm, didn’t find anything. But you mean a giant bucketload of access_log /home/$USER/logs/access.log if=… where the condition matches the requested path for said user? Yeah, that gets annoying very quickly. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuhhh, beautiful! <3

@threatcat@tilde.club Let me guess, sl? 😏

@bender@twtxt.net Just wrote better code with tests 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net 🎉, what did you do? Details, details!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org nginx allows logging per user, via using defined variables on configuration. Not sure, though, if a Tilde would be willing to go to those “extremes”.

@bender@twtxt.net Sounds about right.

I had a brainfart yesterday, though. For whatever reason I thought of subdomains, which are modeled with server entries in nginx. So, each could define its own access_log location. However, there are no subdomains in place! Searching around, I didn’t find any solution to give each user their own access log file.

One way would be a cronjob, aeh, systemd timer as I learned the other day, that greps the main access log and writes all user access log files with only the relevant stuff.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, right. :-D

Ah, it’s this famous font. :-) I already thought so, but wasn’t sure if it’s actually the same.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org was it? Hmm, am I back to square one? 😅 Contacting one tilde could be a step ahead, but there are so many…!

@bender@twtxt.net Wasn’t that transferred to somebody else?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, fuck them!

@bender@twtxt.net Better safe than sorry, I guess. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I found it for you. It is ford@ftrain.com.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Well, they say you have to build up stocks, don’t they? 😅

The font is fiamf3 (scaled up 2x, it would be too small when printed). It’s the same one that I use in my terminal and the status bars. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, it feels broken. It often needs a couple of retries and a lot of patience. It’s been like that for months. 🫤

@prologic@twtxt.net that would certainly help a lot. I can’t think of a solution, though.

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha! :-D But I actually do like their approach. I don’t know what staff should do differently when they are not involved in the channel topic. At least in the general case. Maybe in this specific scenario here they could have cross-checked domains, git repos and stuff like that. But I also reckon that it’s only fair if they treat everybody the same.

@bender@twtxt.net Of course, I didn’t do anything yet at all. Maybe I will find some time next weekend. Let’s see.
