@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can associate your identity to the apex domain with a bit of Webfinger wizardry, but I don’t. Mine are always attached to the sub-domains. I find it easier to migrate between instances that way without risking borking federation.

@prologic@twtxt.net Bwahahaha! I tried to establish some form of “convention” for commit messages at work (not exactly what you linked to, though), but it’s a lost cause. 😂 Nobody is following any of that. Nobody wants to invest time in good commit messages. People just want to get stuff done.

I’m just glad that 80% are at least somewhat useful – instead of “wip” or “shit i screwed up”.

This is an example of the kind of garbage release notes from this conventional commit autogenerated crap 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I couldn’t agree more! I think good commit messages are very useful, however, and I’d much prefer the conventional mood style for Commit messages, but rather prefer telling a story rather than this weird syntax all over the shop!

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I don’t like them either.

As for changelogs, I prefer hand-written ones over something automatically cobbled together. Typically, they are just utter rubbish in my experience.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe that is helpful to you: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt2html/issues/12#issuecomment-20792

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwww, I wanna run my hands through this fur so badly! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net No beak, no feathers, … looks suspicious! That’s probably a weird mammal!!1! 😅🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Aren’t yhere onlu 12 puzzles this year? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about a drop bear? 🧐🤣😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Are you using your Gitea username instead of got@ ? Are you forwarding auth?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, to be fair, if you show me any picture of a penguin (or in fact any bird), I’ll go “awwwwwww 😍” for a little while. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net are you able to send me a video recording of how that sounds because I don’t think that that’s what they called it at the breakfast? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net dad told me the name is Tao Tau.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Four people! Exactly my thoughts, bender, but super cute. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de well I’ve got several minutes of at least three people’s attention now didn’t it? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net And I think that plan worked! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net actually I think it’s a little more nuance than that because for example with salty chat, we have support for DNS based delegation via SRV records and your identity is associated with your Apex Dom name and of course the keys.

I actually don’t understand why Federation and activity pub is so goddamn hard to migrate from one instance to another 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Same. I think i might have played with it at some point!

@bender@twtxt.net ha ha it started the V something and I don’t understand how to reproduce Vietnamese name 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net my translator says conversations. An Jabber Droid app comes to mind.

@prologic@twtxt.net he uses subdomains. Which do you think the identity be associated with? (hint, “it is not so hard!”).

@prologic@twtxt.net well then, and now we will never freaking know because you have the memory of a damn fly. Thank you so much! 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe what app is that?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com does that mean your identity gets associated with your Apex domain or your sub domain?

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yes! 🙌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how long do they need to read the scale? LOL. The penguin stayed put at least twice, no issues. I think the creator wanted some Internet points out of that video. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Reminds me of an apple, too. :-)

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe yeah, that’s the only reason why I use sub-domains when trying anything federated (I believe Matrix has the same problem), in case things didn’t go as planned I can just migrate and take it down.

@prologic@twtxt.net that some kind of apple native to the area. Mum grows a tree of it, I will ask her for the Vietnamese name.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe that has to be one of my stupid designs of activity pub 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net looks like a tiny green apple to me 😅 … but this site says maybe a Guava

I don’t know what this fruit is called! The waiter at breakfast told me the Vietnamese name but I’ve since forgotten 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup did yjay some weeks ago 👌

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute… +1 point goes to GTS’s docs. but hey, I’ll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I’m wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven’t seen it yet)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Nice to see someone else also participating! 🥳

(Btw, they don’t want us to share our inputs: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/wiki/faqs/copyright/inputs/ Yeah, it’s a bit annoying. I also have to do quite a bit of filtering on my repo …)

I meant were. You get the idea.

Also, I just realized that simple links like that turn into inline images on twtxt.net. Nice! 🥳

@bender@twtxt.net Nothing will make me use Discord, though. 😅 Not voluntarily.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I bet. I wouldn’t be surprised if it more popular in some Discord servers too. I mean, the event itself is quite obscure, so… yeah.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com good luck with that! Their installation requirements, and install document in general give me headache. While on the contemplating topic, I too am contemplating shutting down my ActivityPub altogether. No GoToSocial, no nothing. I am mostly a lurker, so will not miss it much.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I like the sounds of this technique a lot redirecting these AI crawling assholes to multi gigabyte files! The only concern I have is how do you do it in such a way that you don’t end up destroying your own ISP speed test servers?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com So you’re found for Javascript eh? 🧐

@kiwu@twtxt.net Not sure if you can find a second hand Canon G7X for cheap (it doesn’t have to be a Mark II or Mark III), you might love it. But watch a couple of reviews just to make sure it is/does what you need it for.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t find the exact blog post from before, one that used redirection directives in its nginx config. but I found [this one ](https://melkat.blog/p/unsafe-pricing#:~:text=Something%20else%20I’ve%20been%20doing%20this%20year,%20fine.) mentioning a similar process but done differently.

@bender@twtxt.net Would you like me to say moar words ? 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I don’t know about you, but I completely missed the point. Heck, I didn’t even know there was one, until you mentioned it. Nah, he’s got no point. LOL.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe carrying an MQTT broker isn’t exactly very simple though 😆

@bender@twtxt.net Goes to show you just have a good nose for that. :^)

No doubt, I really do love them. Not only wonderful humans and like-minded, but also technically gifted. That made for a superb combination. I just hope the new team turns out to be equally great.

Bwahahahahaaahaaahaaahaaa, what a brilliant story! :‘-D I’ve been given at most ten weeks to return, let’s see. ;-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no wonder I picked that cake (albeit coincidentally), I adore almonds, and hazelnuts! Your teammates are absolutely amazing, dude! A very nice project farewell! On leaving places I have a small anecdote.

I know someone who on 3 February 2004 left his job to go elsewhere. At the time his teammates threw a party, and gave him a very nice portable storage. Twenty days later, he returned, and jokingly they asked him for the storage, and money spent on farewell party back. I heard, from a close source, that he gave them his middle finger, but don’t quote me on that. 😂😂😂

@bender@twtxt.net Mate, I don’t know how you do it, but the frequency of words I haven’t come across before is actually quite high in your work. I noticed it in your twtxt messages in the past, but your notes are also full of them. I love it, always learning something new. Thank you for teaching me without knowing. In case you’re wondering, “yesternight” and “squalid” are the ones I stumbled across today. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net That’s the best one of them. An almonds cake with hazelnut chocolate glaze. The one in front is similar, but with chocolate only. Gingerbread on the right. But it develops the best flavor and consistency only in a few weeks, right now it’s quite hard like a rock, but it will soften up.

All those years I always said that my teammates are THE VERY BEST I ever had. Fuck me, look at that, I didn’t leave the company, just changed projects and this is my farewell present: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/abschiedsgeschenk-2025-12-03.jpg How absolutely beautiful is that, I’m in awe! Now I feel even worse deserting. :‘-(

This emblem is the fleur-de-lis of the world scout movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Organization_of_the_Scout_Movement#WOSM_emblem I reckon I must have mentioned casually that I’m a scout. ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net
Interesting experiment for salty-chat, use the MQTT protocol instead of HTTP, in theory it shouldn’t make a difference, at least

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’d recommend the one i linked you to a 2nd hand Sony 👌

@kiwu@twtxt.net Only thing i can find that meets your requirements is the ORDRO HDV-V12 HD 1080P Video Camera Recorder Is 80m of video rexorsinimg enough for you?

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 I need a
good break after this insane year 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net dayum! Australians truly know how to vacay! 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what’s on the one on the left, back? Looks… enticing! 🤤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not for another two weeks i’m afraid 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Nice! And thanks for the additional info. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Using your own language?! That’s really nice! I hope you get home soon so you can give the code a try. 😅

Saw this thing today 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Amen and al ha 😂🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 😂 It was such good beer 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net maybe they should dedicate one of their advent days to make sure their site is responsive. 😂

Found this place in Hanoi in Vietnam 🥳 Amazinf beer!!! 🍺

Hmmmm the AoC site is not mobile friendly 😢 Can someone post the puzzles as Twts? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net pretty neat looking boat. We don’t see boats like this around here. It looks to be made specifically to resemble an older boat.

@prologic@twtxt.net pretty cool! I like these, wish there was a way (I am sure there is, but not for tourists) to go to the top. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s also a quite clever approach. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Lol, these sails on that boat! :-D

Sharing some photos of our Vietnam trip so far…

@bender@twtxt.net You are so right 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t seek the problems. If they exist, they will show at your doorstep. Hahahaha! Anyway, shame on me, I should be sleeping, so I ought to.

@bender@twtxt.net No, but if there’s a problem i want to know about it so i can address it 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net not every twtxt expects engagement. 😅

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Hmmm? 🧐

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I want to see them too! 🙈

@movq@www.uninformativ.de great video. I don’t agree with everything, especially the modern websites highlighted as not that bad, but definitely agree, with the main point. https://youtu.be/2z7kVH9xePM

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe They did their own thing at first, but from version 6 onward, it’s also just Chromium.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de your reply got me almost ROFLMAO IRL. It drew a laudable laugh, for sure! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net geez, a simple “I don’t wanna” would suffice. 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, god damnit. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, you fetched it too quickly, it was edited seconds after picking the wrong image. LOL. Which brings us back in a whole, huge circle, to twtxt edits, and how to handle them. 😅

@thecanine@twtxt.net At least it’s all chromium 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lots of things stop me 🤣 crappy wifi, no international roaming, no remote access (by design) just to name a few 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Nothing stops you from programming while in Vietnam. 😏😈😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh damn ! I’m on holidays in Ciwtnam 🤣 I’ll be late to the party !

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm, something’s weird with that post:

https://movq.de/v/cf64f3a625/s.png

😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Damn. That was stupid of me. I should have posted examples using 2026-03-01 as cutoff date. 😂

In my actual test suite, everything uses 2027-01-01 and then I have this, hoping that that’s good enough. 🥴

def test_rollover():
    d = jenny.HASHV2_CUTOFF_DATE
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(days=7), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(seconds=3), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(seconds=2), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(seconds=1), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d, TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(seconds=1), TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(seconds=2), TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(seconds=3), TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(days=7), TEXT)) == 12

(In other words, I don’t care as long as it’s before 2027-01-01. 😏😅)

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, cool! Can we see the results? :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Sweeet! 🥳 enjoy your holiday!

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe What do you mean by that? 🧐 Clients don’t care about the order of twts in a feed. For display clients usually sort by timestamp.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah. something i’m trying to avoid in this 2nd attempt 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see problems with that, yes. Case in point:
