@skinshafi@thunix.net Could be a locale thing, yeah. 🥴

@prologic@twtxt.net Finally a good name!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Awww 😅

It’s really hard to put into words. Mastodon just feels more stressful. Ugh. I don’t know. 😅

(The Mastodon instance I’m currently on isn’t run by me and the “export data” feature appears to be broken, for example. A good reminder to consider anything I post there as temporary and volatile.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s not too bad. 😃 Now I wanna do LaTeX again.

I admit that I only follow the groff mailing list to get the occasional email from Doug McIlroy in my mailbox: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2024-12/msg00025.html

@bender@twtxt.net Well, so far, I’m using the standard web client. Haven’t found a great client yet. 🫤 Mastodon/Fediverse is also very different from twtxt, there are way more images/videos that I’d like to see – a TUI client like toot wouldn’t work for me.

Dunno, maybe I’ll make some changes in this area after christmas. Try self-hosting again or something like that …

Thanks. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I got lucky this time. 🥴 It certainly helps that there is basically nothing behind that tree for 100-200m. When the fog clears up, I’ll take another shot for comparison.

A cold and foggy day. 🥶

It’s also stressful that everything is “live” on Mastodon: When you post something, you post it immediately. Everything happens NOW. In jenny, I can queue up several replies and send them a bit later – much more relaxed and allows me to change my mind without anyone seeing it. 😅

I’ve been using Mastodon too much lately. The constant notifications are becoming too stressful. I really do prefer slow communication, like twtxt. ✌️

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It was supposed to be one of those “spoiler” tags: Black font on black background, when you click on it it turns into regular text.

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s not “standard” anyway. 🥴 Not even CommonMark includes this …

Okay, not supported. And it’s probably not worth it, we rarely need it, do we? 🤔

Yarn spoiler test:

! foo

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, still loads for me. 🤔 But it’s stale, no new posts since last AoC.

@prologic@twtxt.net One bitcoin = USD $100k? That’s … a lot. 😂

I see @taigrr@twtxt.net on the leaderboard. Guess you’re going for speed again? 😅

So, who’s doing Advent of Code? Had some fun this morning:

And how should we handle spoilers here on twtxt? base64? 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Anything in particular or bitcoin in general? Either way: Yes.

(The book mentions large integers in the introduction, which reminded me that I forgot to check if my target language for AoC supports 64 bits integers. 🤦 But luckily it does. That would have been a showstopper. 😅)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Neat! How was the feedback from the audience? Any interesting questions/discussions?

@Rob@jsreed5.org Hnggggg. 🙈🙈🙈

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those lazy bastards! 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What does the sign on the last photo say? “Zum Vetterleswirt”? What a strange “r”. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Let’s not try to break his pod while he’s away. 😂

Someone posted something on Mastodon with a future timestamp and now it’s permanently “trending” on various front pages of various instances:

• https://social.besties.house/@h/113449358538636686
  
• https://social.besties.house/@h/113521888921301438

@prologic@twtxt.net 🤤

@bender@twtxt.net My opinion of Ruby is basically this:

https://youtu.be/vcFBwt1nu2U?t=1116

“Everybody get out!!!!!!!!!! (… unless there’s not a fire)”

“It’s the wrong way around.”

Everything in Ruby is just ever so slightly different than I would expect. 😂

(TIL: yt-dlp supports twitch.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We’re having warm and sunny weather today, at least 15°C. Feels nice but doesn’t feel right. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to make it if I didn’t take vacation. 🥴 Especially the later puzzles …

@prologic@twtxt.net Awww. Well, better late then never. 😅

Ready for takeoff. Just one more week to go. 🎅 #AdventOfCode

@bender@twtxt.net Will do. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com No idea. Copyright this, intellectual property that, … 🤪

Too bad. 🫤

@bender@twtxt.net WELL, that looks much better than mine. 😂

Doesn’t matter, had pizza. 😝

I’m going to have a pizza and there’s nothing you can do about it. 🍕

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Lots of foxes around here lately. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 😂

@bender@twtxt.net 😃 Pronunciation: Marie Twixt?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, it’s hard to catch these colors on film.

We also had some 5°C today but with a lot of wind. Super chilly. I was only out for 30 minutes. 😅🥶

@bender@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com … oooooooohhhhh! 😂 That took me a minute.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That what? 😅

It’s been so rainy and windy and cold these last few days, I hardly left the house. 😩
