@movq@www.uninformativ.de How about “Quongsi”? I generated the first five letters with pwgen --no-capitalize --no-numerals 5 and since that already showed up in DDG search results, I simply appended the last two, which yielded nothing on DDG and Google).

What kind of project is it? Maybe we can help you find a name or nudge you in the right direction.

The tt URLs View now automatically selects the first URL that I probably are going to open. In decreasing order, the URL types are:

1. markdown media URLs (images, videos, etc.)
   
2. markdown or plaintext URLs
   
3. subjects
   
4. mentions
   

I might differentiate between mentions of subscribed and unsubscribed feeds in the future. The odds of opening a new feed over an already existing one are higher.

@prologic@twtxt.net In my opinion, the integrity isn’t lost. The same input data always result in the same output hash, no matter when you calculate the hashes. It’s true that a corrupt database contents yields to corrupt hashes, but then you have a whole bigger problem than just receiving different hashes. :-D

@zvava@twtxt.net By hashing definition, if you edit your message, it simply becomes a new message. It’s just not the same message anymore. At least from a technical point of view. As a human, personally I disagree, but that’s what I’m stuck with. There’s no reliable way to detect and “correct” for that.

Storing the hash in your database doesn’t prevent you from switching to another hashing implementation later on. As of now, message creation timestamps earlier than some magical point in time use twt hash v1, messages on or after that magical timestamp use twt hash v2. So, a message either has a v1 or a v2 hash, but not both. At least one of them is never meaningful.

Once you “upgrade” your database schema, you can check for stored messages from the future which should have been hashed using v2, but were actually v1-hashed and simply fix them.

If there will ever be another addressing scheme, you could reuse the existing hash column if it supersedes the v1/v2 hashes. Otherwise, a new column might be useful, or perhaps no column at all (looking at location-based addressing or how it was called). The old v1/v2 hashes are still needed for all past conversation trees.

In my opinion, always recalculating the hashes is a big waste of time and energy. But if it serves you well, then go for it.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe The CSS 404ing highlights the improvability of the content to noise ratio. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The asshats are everywhere. Luckily, it has been rather quiet so far. But of course, I now jinxed it.

It’s this time of the year again, where people burn money on the streets.

Almost all photos turned out to be blurred today. That made sorting a very quick process. Delete, delete, delete, … https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-12-26/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Holy shit, this is sooo fucking cool! :-) Wow, I absolutely love it. It’s extremely fascinating what these optimizers do.

Woof, woof, @thecanine@twtxt.net! That’s cute.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have not, thanks! <3

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I take my 0°C over the 36°C anytime! Even with yesterday’s gray and windy sleet in my face. However, there are definitely more pleasant times to walk in town, I’ll give you that. For example on 0°C sunny today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-12-25/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, this is hilarious! :‘-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only the roofs are a little white. It’s also windy here. https://lyse.isobeef.org/weisse-weihnachten-2025-12-24/01.jpg

Indeed, tiny, tiny snowflakes coming down.

@zvava@twtxt.net I might misunderstand what you wrote, but only hashing the message once and storing the hash together with the message in the database seems a way better approch to me. It’s fixed and doesn’t change, so there’s no need to recompute it during runtime over and over and over again. You just have it. And can easily look up other messages by hash.

Happy birthday Katrina! https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-23/0/POSTING-en.html :-)

Oh wow, there might be snow tomorrow! Probably not much, though. Let’s see.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe there’s another meaning I’m not aware of, but this doesn’t look like a shitpost to me. Congrats, I guess. ;-)

I just had a closer look at https://git.mills.io/prologic/mu and it motivated me to do some compiler building myself again. Hopefully, I find some time in the next free days. I’m bad at it, but it’s always great fun.

Oh great, I received an e-mail that my SMTP credentials have been exposed. Once again, just another shitty scanner that generates garbage reports from tests it doesn’t understand. Thank you for nothing!

conf := &Config{
    SMTPHost: "smtp.example.com",
    SMTPPort: 587,
    SMTPUser: "user",
    SMTPPass: "hunter2",
    SMTPFrom: "from@example.com",
}

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de A crocodile had bitten the big submarine internet cable that connects Australia to Europe. The investigations revealed that some construction work last week accidentally tore up the protective layer around it. That went unnoticed, unfortunately, so marine life had an easy job today. For just 40 minutes, they were quite fast in repairing the damage if you ask me! These communication cables are fricking large.

Just kidding, I completely made that up. :-D I didn’t notice any outage either. But I didn’t try to connect to Down Under at the time span in question.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very nice! I often wish other languages had something similar. Sometimes, I use lambdas, but that also looks ugly and feels a bit like a misuse. Other times, just the normal blocks are enough, but it’s not the same. Especially with the mutability aspects as the article explains. Typically, I just put it in a function or ignore it if it’s just a few lines.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, cool! :-) Yeah, it’s very wild what is happening under the hood all the time.

Wow, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, so many tables. No idea what I expected (I’m totally clueless on this low-level stuff), but that was quite an interesting surprise to me. https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-21/0/POSTING-en.html

@kiwu@twtxt.net Ta, same to you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, a table of contents is indeed a great idea!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting. I never found a big use for these kind of lists in general. But I might give it a shot again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure what it had in its beak. It looked a wee bit like a large biscuit. But it must have been rock-hard.

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’m doing great, how’re ya going? Just two more days and then I never have to work anymore. In this year.

I just baked two trays of gingerbread. One definitely good one and another experiment.

This morning was also super pretty: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2025-12-19/

Magpie and sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-12-18/

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I think I never watched it. In any case, enjoy reading your books.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Neither have I. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe These are all Debian release names: https://www.debian.org/releases/

• Bookworm is current oldstable
  
• Trixie is current stable
  
• Forky is current testing

That’s some cool science in @xuu@txt.sour.is’s backyard: https://youtu.be/bzBcs0jv9G4

Right at sunset we went for a quick stroll into the woods. Cannot complain about the colors in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-12/

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Time to become a trixie or forky!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes, exactly. It also blows my mind that with sooo much less budget and equipment, her videos are way superior to productions of big TV stations.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Anytime! Glad you like it, too. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I see, ta! :-)

We got a very colorful sunset today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-09/

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! And foggy as heck, very beautiful! Or is this smog?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

Fuck me, soooooooo beautiful! Awwww! :‘-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYfKgi133qo

This focuses more on the landscape part, other episodes also have amazing interactions with the locals. I cannot recommend the Itchy Boots channel enough. It’s in my top three channels of all time I believe. I hardly get the travel bug, but this has now changed. Watching Noraly’s videos brings me great joy. It also shows humanity is not lost, contrary to what one might think in this crazy world. :-)

Caution, this channel gets very addictive!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :‘-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon you’re right. There cannot be any other explanation.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same. :‘-( I just don’t get how people do code archeology with all their shit messages and huge commits changing a gazillion of different things. I always try to lead by setting good examples, but nofuckingbody is picking up on that. At all. Even when bringing this up every now and then.

@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! :-)
