contact with rain clouds was finally established when scientists found out that a grid of copper wires exposed to rain would readily be used as a keyboard matrix

@sarmonsiill@twtxt.ti-l.de I have an xmpp bot running on my vps and the bot updates my twtxt.txt using txtnish. So I use twtxt via xmpp.

@sarmonsiill@twtxt.ti-l.de : what do you mean ? I’m on ssh using txtnish as client

I really like my bujo. I still using it since the moment I said it here, and it’s just really good for what I needed :) Thanks again @lucidiot@tilde.town

building a http server into weewiki has been more useful than I initially expected

@kas@enotty.dk @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I doubt many want to browser-sniff. Unfortunately, I see browser sniffing used to work around a particular browser’s bugs, so browser sniffing isn’t going away anytime soon.

some classes of thoughts are unlocked by walks and showers, others yet closed to us require vacuum, cloud dives into gas giants, nova blasts searing away one’s skin

If someone is using this niche microblog thing twitter: #profanity has a poll what terminal #xmpp client you are using: https://twitter.com/ProfanityIM/status/1207317970667606022

@lucidiot@tilde.town I think I’ve heard it’s using #XMPP but I don’t find a source right now.

Finally creating PHP programs using Composer and Twig templates

Depictions of merfolk using mirrors like ours are unrealistic, theirs are mounted on ceilings since that’s where air bubbles catch

I need to bring my piratebox to my new job :) It wasn’t really exploited in the former one, it even got the USB stolen, but I love it and I want it used

I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.

bujo : I’m getting used to it, it’s nice and clear and I love how everything I do is archived :) It helps moving forward and having a clearer mind ^^

@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.

@lucidiot@tilde.town Also it won’t be necessarily shared, it’s more about managing my tasks. For now I use Taskwarrior

@lucidiot@tilde.town Thanks ! Also I have a question, should I make a separate bujo for work ? Or will I be overwhelmed ? I can’t decide whether it would be useful

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

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

@johanbove@johanbove.info : re other twtxt : I’ll consider it then, but it\’d be on another server, meaning I\’ll use a client on the other server

@johanbove@johanbove.info a random question from someone who’s used Gopher clients a little bit recently but doesn’t quite understand all the memes: Why are numbered directories like “/0/” common on Gopher holes (but not websites)?

Atlantis lies hidden under the waves of the noise floor, where alternative causalities rule universes that use the same atoms as us, but only register to us as noise (and vice versa)

@kas@enotty.dk The IndieWeb.org twtxt article is only a stub - me copy-pasting content from other sites - could use some more sections - @t himself found it an interesting concept

Easier to deploy than full-size megalith henges, gem necklaces may be used as microlith circles, and will in fact sometimes send even unaware wearers to faerie if they cross the wrong leyline

@mdosch@mdosch.de Yeah, I might try that, but for the moment I just made my gf use Signal, small step. Thanks for the link :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net : [XMPP] I have an account for a long time, but only talk with one person, not that often :/ I’m sad not a lot uses it

gameboy color speaker replaced using ds lite speaker. sounds quieter than I expected. but better than no sound at all. this, combined with the new case I got for it, makes it almost feel like a brand new device :)

even though I have these nice hs7 studio monitors on my desk right now, most of my monitoring has been done using my minirig mini. There is just something so irresistable about writing music for something so cute and tiny.

Seems useful to have a set of consistent lexical conventions. # for comments; . for lookup; / for metadata. e.g cat ~.conf.git.core.pager

Thinking about https://zge.us.to/dirconf.html; what if cating a directory rendered its contents as a structured file?

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

@mdosch@mdosch.de I think I wouldn’t accept a dev job if they make me use a system I don’t want

@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.

@dave@davebucklin.com Did you type that out with your knuckles, or did you use voice recognition, or…? ;)

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.

I’d say that 75% of the notes I take are never used again. Why spend so much time on the process of taking notes if they’re just going to disappear anyway?

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 % 😒

@kas@enotty.dk It looks like the message is f***ed up by the #xmpp library I am using and not by my code. :-/

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

little known biology fact: in the past, there were two ways of using solar energy, namely photothesis and photoantithesis, but both were eventually outcompeted by photosynthesis

the trick to escaping newcomb’s predictor is to start the game twice, and make the first game’s choice depend on the second’s prediction. The resulting simulation stack overflow combined with the box use-after-free will ensure that your copy can simply walk out.

@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.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net use “$@”?

I’ve always loved the idea of twtxt, but had no idea so many people are using it.

I can’t abide Python, so I’m writing these messages using ‘echo’, for now..

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.

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

“Thinkfluencer” might be one of the most pompous nouns invented in the last five years but at least it isn’t as confusing as using “clerk” as a translation of “_clerc_”.

Unexpected prefers-color-scheme-using website of the day: openbsd.org

/lab Feels good to add long overdue features to my text editor. It’s almost useful now ;)

Can one use nerd tools to live-blog an internet outage (without tethering)? Let’s find out.

@ckipp@chronica.xyz - you’re absolutely right! using the official client now, really misunderstood timestamps yet again.

Those of us who survive the next few hundred years will not be called gen-Xers, millenials, or zoomers, we will be called antediluvians and nephilim and be powerful beyond measure

@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.

This then does happen, many times, but the simulators (or rather, the watchers they put in place when they created the universe, meant to be scientists and not soldiers) wipe out species that use certain ‘noisy’ technologies, and this is why the universe is so quiet.

@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.

i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back

/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz About images, sure, I understand it’s useless for CLI-only use. But if we added our own format, maybe something like Markdown

Image

/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…

@nonlinear@nonlinear.radiofreqs.space I always wonder why people still use #IRC nowadays. A chat system which can not be used mobile is weird today.

@nonlinear@nonlinear.radiofreqs.space there is an #xmpp muc: xmpp:twtxt@chat.mdosch.de?join but unfortunately not much used.

@ Thanks! Sure, it could be useful, it won’t be obvious for everyone to look at their browser console to understand the issue.

not sure if anyone still uses twtxt. but I am around here somewhere :P

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.

first tool-using species, then bool-using species

I’m using mastodon again…. => https://bsd.network/@sh

450k apps using Swift…what’s that as a percentage?

…probably not a homeless guy using his Mac?

Only 85% on iOS 12? That’s not as high as it used to be, is it?

“Beautiflu”. OK, happens to even the best of us.

@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.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net you’re really using w3m as your main browser?

If you want to remain unheard, use a social network almost no one has heard of

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net You can also send your location to xmpp:wttr@mdosch.de using #xmpp

Make your website better in bed. Use @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* … */ }.

Still using Firefox? Try a rusty nail in your eye instead.

Hi @mr_woggle@tilde.town! How did you find us? :)

Something you gotta remember about the alt-right is that they’re a temporary alliance of warring groups with conflicting ideologies, most of which are planning on killing all the others & are putting it off in favor of killing the rest of us first.

Are there any free AS/400 emulators floating around that would give a feel for what it’s like to use the system? (Support for running arbitrary IBM binaries optional)

In chaotic situations, the isochrones become really complicated and loopy, which makes this talent less useful the more you need it.

@kas@enotty.dk re:hyphenation That article motivated me to add hyphenation to termpub. Though i’m using the greedy algorithm currently.
