** Franconia Notch **
We went to the Franconia Notch, which is on objectively funny thing to name a region. It was beautiful and the weather was wildly clear. Even on top of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the entire north eastern United States, it was sunny and calm. We could see all the way back to Maine…supposedly…it all looks kinda like green lumpy blurs to me.

XMPP Interop Testing: Two New Features for Clearer Testing

which could make a run look fully successful when it wasn’t. Now you can configure the suite to treat impossible t … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Germany was listed as “opposing” on https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for a while, now it’s back to “undecided”. According to netzpolitik.org, it’s still debated. Also according to that page, there could be an important vote on the EU level on October 13/14.
The green party and the (far) left are opposing this (at least in Germany).

nicks? i remember reading somewhere whitespace should not be allowed, but i don't see it in the spec on twtxt.dev — in fact, are there any other resources on twtxt extensions outside of twtxt.dev?
@zvava@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m not entirely sure about the spaces, but maybe they were omitted to simplify parsing of mentions in the form of @<nick url>. If the next token after the @<nick does not look like a URL, it’s not a mention but regular text. This is just wild guessing, though.
Looking at the regex and tests in the original twtxt reference implementation seems to confirm that theory in the sense as it relies on whitespace as the delimiter:
https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/screenshot-2025-09-17-21-30-25.png
Another thing about nicks is that the original twtxt reference implementation converts nicks to all lowercase:
https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/screenshot-2025-09-17-21-20-39.png
You probably know this already, the original twtxt file format specification can be found here: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html
As for extensions, I don’t know of anything outside of twtxt.dev that has actually been (partially) implemented. However, there is also the issue tracker of the official reference implementation. You might wanna dig through that. For example, there is an alternative suggestions of multiline messages: https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/issues/157

Segunda notícia que leio do mesmo jormal, mesmo dia, sobre a #AmálIA.
Este pôs-me ligo a resmungar com o título - e não melhorou.
O título é: “Equipa de peritos” está a analisar “possíveis impactos legais” do Amália, incluindo nos direitos de autor
Pôs-me a resmungar porque o projecto até já era para ter sido lançado, agora tem data de lançamentk para setembro (sim, este mês) e afinal… ainda nem fizeram aquele que devia ser o primeiro passo? Então e se agora afinal os dados não podem ser usados? Ou uma parte deles - vão tirá-los da base de dados iniciais e retreinar os modelos?
A questão é tão óbvia que até os jornalistas se lembraram de a fazer. E aí é que comecei mesmo a resmungar. O responsável pelo projecto podia ter dito “a legislação não impossibilita o início dos trabalhos.” Porque claro que não impossibilita. Mas o problema é que iniciar os trabalhos com todos os dados sem saber quais é que vão ser excluídos pode até ser contraproducente. E se afinal nenhum pode? Lá se foram os 5.5M€ que a brincadeira custou?
Mas a resposta foi pior, foi “Sendo um projeto público, desenvolvido em ambiente de investigação e seguindo um modelo de código aberto, a legislação não impossibilita o início dos trabalhos.”

There’s always something more urgent: I’ve been known for a long time that sooner or later I’d feel prompted to switch from #github to somewhere else (since 2018 at least!), but I’ve been postponing and only very slowly flirting with the idea… That didn’t work too bad for me: if I had rushed into it I would have probably migrated to #gitlab, before knowing about the more objectionable sides to it. In the end, 2025 was the year I finally acted upon the urge to move. I did not do a very thorough analysis of the alternative hosts - what I have been reading about them along the years felt enough, and I easily decided to choose #codeberg. Being hasty like that, alas, was a mistake: I just now found - during this slow and time-consuming process of deciding what and how to migrate - that there is a low repository limit on codeberg: “The owner has already reached the limit of 100 repositories.” I’m not complaining, mind you, and those “lucky 100” that are already there will stay - at least as a sort of backup. But this means that codeberg is not for me - and so this time I turn to you, the #mastodon community.
What github alternative, not self-hosted, should I move my >100 projects into?

L’autre pause estivale

Bien évidemment, chers lecteurs, chères lectrices, chers bots d’IA, je compte sur les plus forts d’entre vous pour alimenter la section « commentaires » afin de faire tenir les moins solides, ceux […] ⌘ Read more
Intelligence artificielle et web parallèle
Internet est en train de changer, et de changer plus vite que vous ne pouvez l’imaginer : d’un côté, jamais produire du contenu n’a été aussi facile mais de l’autre, jamais le contenu réellement humain et original n’a été aussi rare… La tendance est évidente pour qui regarde avec attention ce qui se passe depuis quelques […] ⌘ Read more

Finalement, Bayrou n’a été qu’une grosse perte de temps
Il était vaguement attendu, et, avec toute l’onctuosité d’un vieux cacique mou, Bayrou a parlé : le 8 septembre prochain, pour pousser son budget, il mettra l’avenir de son gouvernement en jeu devant les parlementaires. Ah, décidément, rien de tel qu’une bonne louche de politique politicienne pour sauver un pays ! En effet, avec cette annonce, tout […] ⌘ Read more
Se calhar foi distracção e azelhice minha: quando ouvi falar de reverter a fusão de freguesias pensava que iam ser todas as qie foram fundidas, na generalidade. Quando soube que foi aprovado, pensava que nestas autárquicas ia ter freguesias separadas por aqui.
Fui hoje surpreendido quando fui ao Tribunal para ler o registo das candidaturas para as próximas #autárquicas (se me cingisse à imprensa local ainda ficava convencido que só seriam candidatos PS e a coligação PSD/CDS) e descobri que afinal, por aqui, as freguesias continuam todas fundidas.
Para ajudar outros que possam estar assumir mais do que devem como eu, fica aqui a Lei que tem a lista das freguesias que se voltaram a dividir (o resto fica tudo igual):

Since nobody is going to push back on this (I don’t even know if that would be possible), this is going to be a reality on every platform sooner or later.
I’d guess in 20, 30 years, there won’t be “PCs” anymore. No more home computing, no more “I just write my own software”. You won’t own devices anymore, it’ll all be rented and the landlord will tell you what you can do with it.
I hope that I’m wrong, but given where we are today, I don’t think that I will be.
Panique : la BCE improvise de plus en plus son euro numérique
La presse française étant ce qu’elle est (c’est à dire aussi subventionnée que médiocre), ce que Trump a réalisé en matière de cryptomonnaies est bien évidemment passé à peu près inaperçu de ce côté-ci de l’Atlantique. Pourtant, la Banque Centrale Européenne vient d’en faire récemment les frais… Pour comprendre ce qui se passe, il faut […] ⌘ Read more

Arrêt d’éoliennes, chute d’Orsted : perte de subventions et soucis de dette

Les groupes du secteur de l’éolien en mer, comme Orsted, dépendent du recours à la dette pour le financement des parcs. Ensuite, ils cèdent des participations […] ⌘ Read more

Here’s an interesting thought/angle on this topic:

A further check showed that all the network blocks are owned by one organization—Tencent [4]. I’m seriously thinking that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) encourage this with maybe the hope of externalizing the cost of the Great Firewall [5] to the rest of the world.
Contrôle du net : tous les prétextes sont bons pour vous faire taire
Les dernières semaines offrent un véritable festival de nouvelles consternantes d’attaques portées contre les libertés fondamentales de vie privée et d’expression, ainsi qu’une volonté de faire complètement disparaître l’anonymat ou, plutôt, le pseudonymat sur internet. En effet, de plus en plus de gouvernements occidentaux font passer ou sont en train de préparer des mesures visant […] ⌘ Read more

We went out an hour earlier to escape the rain. But we got drizzled on, nevertheless. As expected, the rain jacket was finally wet on both the out- and inside. Sweating under that plasic layer is unavoidable with these temperatures. It was still a very nice walk and great vibe with the gray soup. Just right. :-)
