@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com How about you? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Doing okay 👌 Looking forward to my month off!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh, no you can. Much like what we’ve built here with Twtxt / Yarn. I’m building a spec, clients can implement the spec, or you can ya know, just curl and git your way through. I’ll link the spec soon™, just need to keep refining and testing and make sure this actually works properly 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, so I can’t send you a patch / PR unless I host gitxt myself?

@fossham@twtpub.com I honestly think the most unique and interesting thing about doing this at all is that it is in fact inspired directly by Twtxt / Yarn.social itself – That is to say, I am confident I can do this in such a way as to be “truly decentralised”, no inter-networking like ActivityPub, no centraised forges like Github or Codeberg. You run your instance, I run mine, we just are able to collaborate. Think exchanging patches over Email, just without all the hard-to-learn ways to do that (enough though it’s not hard for some of us, but still).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So the way this works in my design/prototype is this. You fork my repo in the app, it clones it to your own forge, follows my instance and it’s repo for updates and ping my instance to indicate “you’ve forked me”. Then when you publish changes, I can see them by pulling your instance’s feed. It all works on the same plain text principles of Tstxt itself. The feeds are “pull”-based with push-based “pings” on things like “someone forked your repo”, “a new issue has been raised against your repo”, etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. 🤔

Okay, suppose you host a project using this new forge, and I want to send a pull request. What do I have to do?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What if I told you there were in fact zero account(s) at all? And that you signed into your own instance or a multi-user instance with your own SSH key? 🔑 Hmmm? 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha. 😅

I’m not really sure what you have in mind. All I can safe with relatively big confidence is that users hate having to make another account. That’s why GitHub/Codeberg are so successful: One account gives you access to millions of projects.

So, once that problem is solved, anything else will probably just fall into place … ? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de In the meantime tell me all your “wishes” and things you wish/want a good decent “pure” decentralised Git forge should do 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good 😊

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m really curious about that. 🤔🤔🤔

I am finally building a Twtxt / Yarn.social inspired Git forge. I’m actually quite confident that y’all will quite like it, but I won’t post links yet until I’m quietly confident in its design, functionality and behaviour(s).

Stay tuned 🤞 It’ll be like no other Git forge you’ve ever seen! 🤣 Actually, it’s already more like cgit than anything with plain text feeds that power it’s “pure decentralization” as you can no doubt imagine 😅 #twtxt #git #forge

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org All good 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am seriously rethinking and re-contemplating building a new Git forge of some description that avoids all of these stupid problems that we’re now seeing in the wild

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org if you’re looking for a great static site generator/publishing tool by the way have a look at my project ZS

@thecanine@twtxt.net some people in this world are just giant douche bags and complete sociopaths 🤯

Literally just a day after Elon came out with his legal threats towards all of Nitter and people like me complained about it, Open AI decides to no longer work with Cursor (acquired by Space X), explicitly saying it’s because Elon wouldn’t stop breaking their signed contracts and scraping (distilling) their models, behind their back.

https://openai.com/index/our-decision-on-cursor-following-its-acquisition-by-spacex/

This is not even the only instance of this happening, many mentioned having similar problems with Elon in the past. Not too long ago Kylie Robison shared a rumor xAI engineers were banned from using Anthropic models through Cursor, because of their scraping, though they seem to have later patched things over with Elon, when they had to start renting his data centers.

@david@daiwei.me

I wish I knew

Just give it a go. This stuff is super cheap. All you need is a “pen”, some nibs, ink, and paper. Costs like 20-30 bucks and lasts for several years. The hardest part is finding good paper, really, because most paper these days isn’t made for ink anymore. 🥴

And since social media is always only full of good results, here’s something “shitty”:

These are my first experiments in 2016 – and that’s after having practiced with a graphics tablet on a PC for a couple of weeks. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe I’m using the wrong term, ya know, silos and bubbles and all that 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Confirmation bias? Explain. 🤔 I mean, I know what confirmation bias is, but I don’t understand it in this context. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That depends. What do you mean by “The Internet”? 🤔 If you mean a bunch of large centralised sites where a majority of the world’s Internet traffic goes, then yeah, it’s boring as bat shit™ – Largely because of the concept (I think) of “confirmation bias”.

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org You should report the bug and hopefully get it fixed 🤞

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Oh this is cool! 😎 It supports all v2 specs, nice! 👍

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org I haven’t heard of that client before? 🤔 Got a link to it? screenshtos? Should I add it to the Listed Clients? 🤔

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Ahh if you’re using the ‘ol twtxt client from buckket, that thing isn’t really maintained anymore. I recommend you check out one of the clients listed on https://twtxt.dev or even just https://twtxt.app

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org What client are you using btw? 🤔 Does it support threads, and other v2 specs? 🤔

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Hello 👋

@thecanine@twtxt.net Double standards and cognitive dissonance are great, aren’t they? 🙄

(My favorite line last week came from one of those hardcore AI bros: “Awww, man, hardware has gotten so expensive, everything sold out, this really sucks … *Thanks, nVidia.*“ 🤦‍♀️)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Humidity was through the sky. We had two thunderstorms pass by. One at 06:00 and and another one this arvo.

Somebody hooked this presumably plastic moon on the tree bark. Not sure why or what the reason is. Let’s just call it art. It looked weird and so I thought that it might poke other people’s interests as well. Worked out great. Got another question about it, too. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwww, very pretty! :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Achtung, der Uplegger ist im Anmarsch! Dreht die Karten auf links! Entspannte Reise und gute Erholung! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wth is 26.jpg? 🤨

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wheather yesterday was horrible. And today it’s super humid. 🤪

If I say companies should at least consider the 3 line CC license before scraping my sites, I’m seen as the unreasonable one.

But when I use an alternative forontend, to read feeds on their sites, without having to make yet another free account, now the same companies and their users scream about some unspecified part of their license being violated, threaten legal action and expect me to care about it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hahaha, a festival, indeed! :-D There was also “Raupenkrieg” (caterpillar war): jumping against each other in sleeping bags. I reckon that counts as pogo or mosh pit.

And back in the days, we had wonderful deep mud all around us, too! In extreme years we even needed to leave the camp ground for a day and walk to a gym with all the kids. There was just too much rain and the creek dangerously high.

We once had an actual creek running through the dining tent before the kids arrived. Luckily, it didn’t originate from the official creek, but the water came down the hillside. Unimaginable today with all these droughts in summer. Many creeks around here are dried up for several weeks, if not months now.

There you go, enjoy my favorite selection of yummy chocolate on the ground!

It was a question of the mindset. Once we supervisors just made the best out of it and tried to had fun, the kids typically didn’t mind the mess either. Besides building huts, one of the most favorite things ever was actually “Matschschöpfen” (scooping mud). The kids scooped puddles into wheel barrows using giant soup ladles from the kitchen. “Sorry kids, time is up for today. Whoever sits in the closing circle first gets to go first tomorrow.” Unfortunatly, I don’t find any photos from that.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I still have the movie in my archive. It’s a “TV capture” from 20 years ago, in German, super low resolution, noisy, … 🤪

Despite the shitty quality, the file is 1.1 GB large. Video codecs were really bad back then.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nattfödd was the last album I heard / bought. I liked Katla and Wilska as singers (saw them live with Wilska, that was a ton of fun), but then they switched again and the new guy wasn’t really my thing. Maybe I should check them again. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Festival light”, huh? 😅

@fossham@twtpub.com I hope you enjoy it 😅 You might want to update your Avatar and Description at some point in your settings 👌

@thecanine@twtxt.net LOL 😂

Had no clue @prologic@twtxt.net has his own computer mouse brand now, straight up giving them away, for under $3 a piece.

I got one and well pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. It fits perfectly in the hand, decent rubber, weighs nothing, clicks very silently. The scroll wheel is where you can feel some of the cost cutting, it’s pretty wonky, but good enough.

Classic cheap thin long cable, you better like 1600 DPI, cause there’s no button to change that. Sensor is the usual red light, but works on all surfaces, bedsheets included. Gliders are small and not around the sensor, but at this weight, that makes next to no difference.

Decent 8/10 option

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I usually don’t listen to metal where the singers scream. There are only very, very few bands where I find that actually pleasing.

Two decades ago or so, we young supervisors compiled ourselves a cassette for our forest recreation week. One of us had an old ruggedly built radio with a cassette deck powered by a bunch of large Baby (?) batteries. One side had “working music” which we played back while working in the evenings and night, e.g. gathering firewood in a handtruck for the campfire and things like that.

I used something by either Finntroll or Turmion Kätilöt for the “wakeup music” side in the morning. The kids slept at home, but there were always some supervisors sleeping at the camp. The SÜT, the Standard-Übernachtungsteam, consisted of mostly young folks, about sixteen to early twenties. It was completed by wiser people in their fourties. Each morning, metal blasted through the dining tent that we converted into a sleeping tent. :-) Good times!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! Turns out there’s a reason I didn’t know this album. :-D

I also just noticed that I have a lot to catch up on. :-O Haven’t listened to anything of the last three albums. Boy, time flies! Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 is the last thing in my collection. How on earth…!?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I gotta re-watch that movie. Loved it back then. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Huh, didn’t expect that. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I actually didn’t know that and just listened to it. There are a few nice songs, but in general, it’s too boring to me. I’m missing the rock and metal elements for sure. Some of the calm songs might work to relax in a sauna or so. But I find the “wind noise” rather annoying.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I take it you also know their acoustic album “Visor om Slutet”? I love that one. 😍

@arne@uplegger.eu Wohl bekomms!

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia, was ein absoluter Saftladen. Unfassbar.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mit so Betrugsvorwürfen oder ähnlichem ist man hier in Pommern ungewöhnlich schnell. Wie vor ca. 11 Jahren bei dem Skandal mit der Fußmatte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldDwpOKWZNQ

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Wurde dann doch noch ein wenig anstrengend gegen Ende hin. Für mal so zwischendurch geht’s. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fingers crossed!

@arne@uplegger.eu @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Je öfter man die hört, desto besser werden’se. 🤣 Passt perfekt in den Zeitgeist, dieses Chaos. (Pardon, „Mikrotonalität“.)

Und handwerklich echt beeindruckend.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no, I haven’t really played anything in a couple of months. 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But I wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. 😭

Let’s see how this goes: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2065883

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha 😆 Don’t temp me 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Now, you just gotta program it yourself. :-) Back in the days, my mates and I were playing Minetest, an open source variant thereof. Turns out it has been renamed: https://www.luanti.org/en/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I really thought you were playing the bass part, but this is just a picture of the CD cover. :‘-D I’ve got this in my collection as well. It’s good shit!

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ui, heiße Kostüme! Und klingt gar nicht schlecht. Je länger ich es anhör, desto besser gefällt es mir. Nur die „Ansagen“ und den „Gesang“ – oder was auch immer das Geschepper sein soll – bräucht es wirklich nicht.

It just happened with twtxt.net as well! 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice job, looking good! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de YOU SHALL NOT SCROLL!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, auch ne Idee! :-D Muss man nur aufpassen, dass das dann nicht das Ölkännchen für das Wahlbetrugsfeuer wird.

@jastas@twtpub.com Out of curiosity, was it hard to figure that out, or just familiarity with the app? 🤔

@jastas@twtpub.com That’s me! 👋 Haha 😆 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@fossham@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌

@smmbear@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌 Just in case you are not ware a) spam is not really tolerated by this community and b) doesn’t work anyway, you’ll just be ignored, and there are exactly zero ways to promote spam or advertise on this social system – on purpose.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net That set is the set of users that actually interact with one another. The “Twtxt” feed set is a bit larger, but mostly just “walls of posts” and little to no inteaction. So yeah, the real community is quite small sadly 😅

@arne@uplegger.eu They’re everywhere, send help

@arne@uplegger.eu Einfach so als Wahlergebnis verkünden. Dann denken die alle: „Ach, Mist, wie blöd, schon zu spät, na dann muss ich ja nicht mehr hin.“ Fertig. ✅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh yeah, going full Prinzessin Müllabfuhr! 🥳 👸

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net or even better https://search.twtxt.net/users.txt

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Something like https://search.twtxt.net/stats/users ?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, even switching to Princess Garbage Disposal for real. :-O Sorry, mate, I really could not resit. ;-) Happy sp^Hummer cleaning!

@arne@uplegger.eu Dann müssten bloß noch die anderen auch so abstimmen. Viel Glück Euch, ihr werdet es brauchen.

Bald (20.09.2026) sind Wahlen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und laut Party-Check für MV sieht es so für mich aus:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The best thing, it’s not far from reality. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t do it that often, either. But when I do, I always wanted to have such a tool. :-) And since it turned out super easy to “implement” … Why not.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These look extra great with redshift enabled. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Not that often – except for the last few months. 😅 I was reorganizing lots of repos, merging them, splitting them, changing author names, whatever. Having an empty root commit was super handy (if there was one).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-05/0/POSTING-en.html Very interesting! I basically never analyze binary files, but this were some great thoughts on that subject. I hope to remember them when I find myself in the situation to look at binaries more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-16/0/POSTING-en.html, how often do you edit the first commit? A good mate does the same for at least a whole decade, probably more. I never found myself in this situation. Even though I mess with commits on a daily basis. Just never the first one so far. 8-)

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You weren’t/aren’t able to fin dmore open, less privacy evading “smartthings” ?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net This is a good idea. I do something very simialr.

@thecanine@twtxt.net haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com What kind of IoT devices are we talking about here?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Turns out, it’s not a cool project. :-D

Can you build from source? Perhaps not if there is just a download link.

It’s been a hot minute since I last used alien to convert a Debian package into an RPM packge. Or was it the other way around? No clue.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I hear you! haha

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta!

@david@daiwei.me I noticed Boy Boy have a lot of gems. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de HTTP 402!

@arg@twtpub.com You actually can, but we highly discourage it and I haven’t really built “Edit” / “Delete” functionality in the Twtxt App that I know you’re using 😅 Twtxt being purely decentralised, meaning that there are absolutely zero decentralised, with the exception of the twtpub.com service you’re using to reduce as much friction as possible for newcomers to try things, makes supporting threads a bit of a controversial topic 😆 – In the end we are sticking with the Hash v2 extension, making threads use content addressing, so even if you did delete/edit a Twt, you have to be carefuly it hasn’t already been replied to in the ecosystem 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Haha 😆
